[go: up one dir, main page]

Just a lvl 28 guy from Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but actually more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.

During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.

A furry or something. Why be yourself when you can be a fluffy raccoon on the internet?

  • Probably just testing for some vulnerability. If you’re current on patches, you can just disregard as background noice. If it really happens a lot, setting up something like Fail2ban would be useful.

    Edit: A quick google search suggests it looks like a Windows Remote Desktop packet header. So something scanning the internet for machines with open RDP









  • Gotta be my first real wilderness trip, in the Hammastunturi wilderness area here in Finland. I was going through some shit at the time and after losing my job due to covid it was a really low point in my life. I don’t exactly remember how I got the idea, but basically I scraped together whatever second hand gear I could get, packed a weeks worth of food, took train+bus north and just set off. No real plan, I didn’t even have a proper map of the area. In retrospect it was really dumb, but luckily nothing truly bad happened. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t exactly easy with the shitty gear (my backpack literally had a gaping hole in it) and me barely knowing how to start a fire or set up my tent. Not to mention way too many mosquitoes!! But mentally it was great and really helped me to get into better headspace. And it got me into hiking and backpacking and I’ve been hooked ever since.



  • Slowing down enough is the same thing than being unavailable. Imagine someone is sending you 1000 text messages per minute from different numbers all over the world. Your phone handles it fine but you have to manually read every single message to check if it’s spam or something important. By the time you reach that one real message where your crush asked if you wanna hang out, it’s way too late and they already asked someone else.




  • I can only speak from my own experience and what I’ve seen, but generally the best leaders are the ones who emerge naturally from within the team. You shouldn’t need to “prove yourself” to your superiors but to your coworkers instead.

    Most teams don't want or need a boss, they need a leader

    I don’t know what your “vision” looks like, but start small. Feel like some manual task could be automated? Write a script and share it with the team. Think something should be done differently? Bring it up and see what others in the team think. The point is, you don’t need actual “power” within the company to start implementing your vision. Unless of course the company culture is just horrible, in which case you’d probably be better off looking for other opportunities regardless…
