I don"to quite remember, but apparently I said to my mom that Santa has the same shoes as dad.

Yes I do, but now most of my work is with people in Europe, mostly Germany and Ukraine.

Yeah, that was the only new Christmas song I could come up with.

• Born in Poland to polish parents but German grandparents
• at 11 fled to Germany one month before the Berlin wall fell
• at 23 a girl in Sweden on ICQ uses its random function, we marry and I move to Sweden
• we divorce I stay in Sweden go to University at 30, everyone else is 22
• I graduate and work in automobile industry
• during covid I go on a 3 month business trip to korea and install tinder, because why not?
• I meet someone there, she is the CFO of a mid size company so I move to Korea
• at 45 I become a father and we marry

In between there are many more random thing, I play in a ska band and in a metal band, I brew beer, I make sausages, I help creating a free and open source conference, totally drunk I try cocaine which only makes me sober, I program a small game, I go to Hebron in Palestine and record a podcast, etc.

I have a hetzner server where I host a bunch of services like CalDAV, mastodon, piefed, my rails website TT-RSS, firefox-sync, some PHP websites and some static websites, PeerTube.

And on top of it I subscribe to a object storage at Vultr.

Ah interesting to see where our Korea community is running on :D

Is this the class struggle Karl Marx was talking about?

My wife bought me a very expensive mechanical watch as a gift, which I myself would never even think of looking at in a shop. First I was like, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? I already have a smart watch!

But god damn it’s growing on me.

1. Because it’s such high quality it doesn’t scratch and looks absolutely stunning even after wearing it constantly for month. Normally I put scratch resistant stickers on it and stuff but they scratch everywhere they touch anything. This one nothing at all.
2. And this is so huge to me and I never realized it, I never have to charge it, it just always works. It glows in the dark a bit because of the fluorescent clock hands too.

I kid you not, this is so amazing, every time I want to know the time it just works for months without charging and it looks beautiful.

Yeah, that’s my luxury.

Count all the cables!

This would probably be cheaper to send over the border with drugs too.

I just bought a random UPS at MediaMarkt back in the day in Poland and calculated that it would be able to power all the CCTV cams, the CCTV recorder, a raspberry pi and the modem which is connected to a long range WiFi antenna for at least half an hour. This worked very well for a couple of years until the battery gave up. The one I had had a ethernet port but I never bothered to set it up to send the signal.

Mine was running at my parents summer house in Poland while my parents live in Germany and I in Sweden and now in Korea, so if something breaks down it’s down for up to a year until someone goes there to fix it.

Right now everything is down, my dad was there a couple of month ago and said that a marten chew up the Ethernet cables. Sadly my dad couldn’t fix it so now I hope I will be able to get there during Christmas.

I think if anything then found the route of mbin would make sense in separating them but in the same ui. This is because they have different culture, but I am also only running a mastodon instance just to be able to follow and interact with a few people. If I could do that from PieFed, I’d be happy about it.

Oh it’s very popular in the automotive industry, especially for the in vehicle infotainment like navigation, radio, media playerand so on. They even offer a automotive specific version of it:

Sadly most of the OEMs slowly move to Android.

I worked a bit on the previous version of Neptune UI https://doc.qt.io/archives/neptune3ui/ wit QML and I worked mostly with integration of https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager/ into different cars. But I stayed in Sweden for that.

I did it for a year or so, exactly the same thing, I have a bunch of websites and other services like matrix, mastodon, peertube running on that server.

I found out the hard way that Lemmy is really not optimized for single user instances on a small VPS. In the beginning it was OK but the more they optimized for big instances like Lemmy.world and .ml the word it ran with few resources.

In the end it was so bad that it would Hogg all the servers resources and bring the whole server down every couple of hour so that I had to hard reboot it.

The worst part was that this impacted alł my other services and websites which went down with it every couple of hours. I tried to get a beefier server but that only helped until the next update.

In the end I switched to Piefed and couldn’t be happier. It uses a lot less resources as a single user instance so I could downgrade the server again and it’s written in python so I can much easier help working on it, no need to compile anything, etc. And it has a cool template engine which let’s you easily modify how it looks and feels.

I like Bitwig also better, the only problem is the price, I just can’t justify it for how little I’d use it nowadays.

Thanks a lot :D

A couple of years ago I made a table when switching from OSX to Linux, the table is still quite up to date: https://jeena.net/why-i-switchedfrom-osx-to-linux

Yes indeed, and it might still be OK, but the world moving to the right and the right being so against immigration I forse a future where permanent residency is not that easy anymore. Especially if you’re not like me a white fairly well educated male from Europe. People like me seem to have huge privileges in many the parts of the world.

I did plan ahead, the plan was to get my jacket in between when everyone was walking out of the church to gather at the graveyard.

Also if we are nitpicking then everyone can talk to god in the catholic church, including the priest after he listens to all my sins, but god for some reason only responds to the prophets.

Anyway, those nuances are for the scholars, not for a teenage altar boy.
