THE KOVENANT Is Working On First New Album In More Than 20 Years (blabbermouth.net)
 

Now this is great to hear, The Kovenant was one of my favorite bands in my teens. They previously were making a new album "Aria Galactica" and its release date was pushed to 2007, then 2010 and beyond; the album never materialized, and the band members were busy with their other bands.

The problems I described eventually happened again after 3 days or so. I got pissed, so I decided to RMA the drive and ship it to Denmark where the store I bought it from has its HQ. As a temporary solution I formatted the laptop's original HDD, put it back and installed Ubuntu Server. A bit of setting up and now things work. In the meantime I won't be running NextCloud though, as the drive's only 250 GB.

This is just continuation of the same line of thinking, created by the infamous Great Barrington Declaration. Now Jay Bhattacharya & co get to reap what they sow... with mass death and disability.

I even ran MemTest86 and it showed things to be all fine. I recently bought new memory (2 GB) for the netbook.

Last week I released the blog post I mentioned previously. It's now in Finnish and English.

I have an old netbook from 2011 that I have used as my home server since 2017. It has a 1 TB SSD, and for some time it had weird problems such as "Remounting filesystem read-only" and "EXT4-fs error", usually leading to crashes. After rebooting, Ubuntu's boot screen would not always appear. According to SMART, the drive was however all fine. At first I replaced the file system's journal and ran fsck. That wasn't enough, and the problems persisted. I was about to RMA the SSD, when I put Gparted Live on an USB stick and used that for fixing the file system. And it worked, now the home server has worked all fine for over three days!

Looking for a Lemmy custom theme community (sopuli.xyz)

I installed whole a lot of custom themes onto my instance recently, but I had to scour through the Internet for them. Is there a community dedicated to custom Lemmy themes, for both user styles (usable via Stylus) and ones we admins can install?

Previously this week I released a Lemmy guide in Finnish, as the platform has started to gain a bit more traction here. Based on that, I made an English version on my blog. I tell about what is Lemmy, how to choose an instance, how to find communities and how the interoperability with Mastodon works. I also tell a bit about mobile apps and my own experiences as an instance admin.

This seems to be like a recent moral panic here in Finland about therian kids in schools.

Since Lemmy has gained a bit more traction in Finland recently, I started writing a guide in Finnish that will later be published on my blog. The structure is as follows:

  • What Lemmy is, short history
  • The 2023 Reddit blackout and its consequences, my own experiences
  • Communities and how to find them
  • Lemmy's interoperability with Mastodon and other Fedi platforms
  • Instances and communities to be recommended

He's getting really well into the Linux and FOSS rabbit hole. And he's also serving as a "celebrity role model" for people interested in switching to Linux. This can have lots of potential!

On May 5, Microsoft’s Skype will shut down for good (arstechnica.com)
 

Understandable choice, given that Skype is pretty much redundant with Teams. Back in 2004-2005 Skype was really hyped because of free voice calls through the Internet, but few days later several other messaging apps incorporated that feature; Skype's thunder was stolen. Also its inconsistent branding was a problem: there was Skype for Business that later became Lync, ultimately becoming Teams. Skype kind of became forgotten and obsolete.

Drunkard Simulator – Announcement Trailer (www.youtube.com)
 

Looks like open-world simulator games coming from Finland have one common theme: getting drunk. The competition between this and the previously posted Last Drop is going to be tough. Regardless I am delighted of Finnish culture being represented in games.
