Note regarding jae.fi

I registered jae.fi on the 14th of February 2021, right after I learned that the company for which I originally moved to Finland to join decided to hire me. At the time, I thought it would be a nice-to-have to get something with my name and the local TLD to blend in a bit. I [ ]

Backups

When talking about backups, I often get asked how I do them. My historical tooling was Restic then sent to some S3 bucket and rsync.net, but that has changed quite a lot. Nowadays, my stack goes as follows: And that s really it. Do note that this is only valid for my workstations, servers are backed [ ]

Boring software

Over the years, I ve come to a realisation: I like boring software. What do I mean by that? The most important thing for me in computing is reliability, for lots of people, that s boring. I don t care about flashy features any more, I want the thing I take notes every day in to just work. [ ]

FrooxEngine, Resonite & CI/CD

Today, we re going to have a look at the CI/CD pipelines for Resonite, and admittedly, I m at my third attempt at writing this blog post. I started writing this post back when work started on the pipelines, trying to keep it in sync. However, while I was adding more features, and patching others, I didn t [ ]

Archive Today is now redirecting to disinfo

After being banned from Wikipedia a while ago, archive[.]today s owner seemingly continued to completely lose it. Today, a new one: visiting any related domains is redirecting me to the known Russian disinfo website RT News . Accessing any related domain, in this instance archive[.]ph, will return the following page: Redirecting you to the stolidityseashellshotter[.]com domain, which [ ]

The AnyTone AT-D890UV

Previously, I reviewed the AnyTone AT-D168UV, and today, time for its big brother, the AT-D890UV. Now, those two are really similar, they boast the same specs in all aspects but one: the AT-D890UV ships with a GPS, allowing for APRS and satellite pass calculations more easily. So far, it s been working out fairly well, when [ ]

Scrobbling music

Following the previous post about my brand new media library, I ve decided to dig a bit further on an idea I had a long time ago, but gave up on implementing: scrobbling my listens on LastFM. I tried to scrobble music years ago, but always ended up forgetting to use a player capable of doing [ ]

Compressing my audio library

After a few years of collecting music on various platforms, mostly Bandcamp, my music libraries have grown to some degree. My remote music library (sitting behind a Navidrome instance) is about 100Gb; the local one being roughly the same size. The majority are stored in lossless formats like FLAC or WAV with other formats in [ ]

The small pleasures in life: RuneScape

Recently, I ve started playing some RuneScape again, most particularly RuneScape 3, and so far, been enjoying it. If you ve known me for a very long time, you probably remember that I used to contribute to a small RuneScape-related project, OpenRSC. That project is basically a re-creation of oldschool RuneScape as an Open-Source project, mainly written [ ]

Laval Virtual 2026

From April 8 to April 10, I was at the Laval XR event, in Laval, France to represent Yellow Dog Man Studios and Resonite. Here are some of the highlights of the event; even though it was mainly business-focused, there were still some wonderful demos shown around. Despite being sent there to represent Resonite and [ ]

Fancy lists in GitLab Markdown

A little-known feature of GitLab-flavoured Markdown is GLQL (GitLab Query Language). It basically allows you to create neat dynamic lists for work items. For instance, the above table is created like so: It will basically display as a table all work items in the general stuff group assigned to my user. Within the query, you [ ]

Budgeting

When I moved on my own half a decade ago, one of the hardest tasks for me was to start budgetting properly and actually putting money aside. Up until yesterday, I was using Homebank to help with that, it s simple to use, however doesn t exactly scream at you when you go over budget. Enters Actual, [ ]

MMC 2026: Resolaundromat

With the MMC 2026 winner announcement yesterday, the embargo over Resonite staff promoting specific MMC entries has ended. This means I can finally publish this blog series on some entries I found interesting, cool, or funny. For this first one, we have Resolaundromat, by Harmonica and Noble, with help from Spark and Yosh. The premises [ ]

Custom domain on Obsidian Publish

For my own documentation website, I m using Obsidian Publish. I like it because it s just super easy to use. I go in my regular vault, modify stuff, hit a single button and done, it s published. There s also the option to use a custom domain, however, Obsidian cannot manage it directly or get SSL certificates for [ ]
