Just a guy from 🇫🇮 Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.

During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.

    I’ve been using No-IP free plan for years without issues. Inputted the credentials to my routers DDNS client and then basically forgot about it. Free users need to confirm their account once a month via email but that’s just one click.

    If your domain registrar happens to have an API to update DNS entries, you could implement DDNS yourself by writing a simple automated script to check the external IP (e.g. via ipify.org) and if it’s changed from the last check then call the API to update the DNS entries.

    This was the book that got me to stop hating books.

    I didn’t like reading as a child or teenager until I was forced to read this one for a mandatory book report in high school and really, really liked it. I don’t know why, I don’t even remember that much about the book, but it got me interested in science fiction and reading in general.
