  • DMR Radio is pretty fun

    Since around September last year, I started using DMR radio. I was just about to come back from Eurofurence when I saw a message in my local radio club’s chat (shoutouts to OH2K) from someone selling a bunch of Anytone AT-D168UV. Before that, I was told that DMR had a pretty large community in Finland,…

  • Software I’m using in 2026

    Time for the easy blog post that I make every year.The software I use hasn’t changed much since last year, so allow me to be lazy and list it all. Starting with the OS, you might already know that Fedora is my go-to Linux distribution nowadays. It’s easy to install and update, and now ships…

  • I’m tired

    If we have a few places in common, be it online chats or the virtual worlds of Resonite, you’ve probably noticed that I’m appearing less and less often. There’s a pretty good reason for that: I’m just so tired. 2025 has been something for me, I got a radio license and callsign, joined the Resonite…

  • PII in plaintext on ANFR’s website

    First, some context.ANFR is France’s equivalent to the OFCOM (in the UK), BNetzA (in Germany) or Traficom (in Finland).

  • Making a Yealink contacts directory

    Last post of the year, I hope everybody will have a wonderful 2026, even within those troubled times. I was playing with my Yealink T42s IP phone last night, wanting to make some API endpoint that automatically generates a remote phone book for the phone.The remote phone book uses XML formatted with custom elements that…

  • Porting Resonite”s Headless Server Software to ARM

    I promised it a few months ago, and here it is: ARM support for the Resonite Headless Server Software is now generally available.So, what took so long in doing the port? FrooxEngine itself runs perfectly on ARM CPUs, the issue arising when trying to hit native libraries.Resonite itself relies on about 250 external dependencies, most…

  • New captcha-related changes on this blog

    A few months ago, I announced some changes related to comments on this blog following an influx of spam comments.Back then, I chose FriendlyCaptcha as the solution, however, the plugin required some extensive modifications to work with ActivityPub, my custom theme, and custom server, which isn’t really practical on the long run (as it adds…
