Setting up NetNewsWire with Miniflux
As I previously mentioned, I use Miniflux to sync all my RSS feeds around. Today, I discovered NetNewsWire, a free and Open-Source app allowing you to read, and sync, RSS feeds on iOS. One issue: when opening the app, going in the settings, and trying to add an account, Miniflux is nowhere to be seen.…

Somehow, we still have snow
With summer just around the corner, it still surprises me that we still have snow here. Not sure what they are doing over there, but Yle reported 30 cm of snow around the northeast of the country. Quite honestly, I wish we still had snow here, in the south (and I know people around here…

I personally own a few Apple devices, mainly my phone, so at some point, I started looking for a news source to know when updates will be expected, new features to expect, etc. 9to5mac is the one that pops up at the top of search engines, naive me thought it looked alright at first glance.…

I hate things with batteries, I forget to charge…

Debugging SSL in GitLab Pages
Debugging GitLab Pages on a self-managed instance can be a hassle, especially if you’re only getting nebulous messages without any further information. Do note, for this to work, you’ll need to have an admin access to the machine hosting the main Rails app. To find out exactly why Let’s Encrypt is failing to get a…

E11 Polish numbers station message

This was recorded at around 19:03:00 UTC, on 7317.0kHz Looking around, this station seems to be named E11 “Oblique” and is apparently one of the most active. It is operated by an unknown agency, broadcasting from Warsaw. I didn’t…

Fixing identity issues with Posti
Back a few years ago, my personal ID number changed. Just to sum up for people who don”t know, in Finland, the personal ID number is used for everything. It basically identifies you to government and banking services. Given the data debacle I talked about previously, I decided it would probably be good to request…
