About smartphones.
I have been looking for non-google, non-apple phone for daily use that would run reasonable amount of software.
Fairphone 4/5 with Ubuntu mobile
Volla with Ubuntu or Volla OS or Ubuntu
Pixel 6-8 with Graphene OS
Xperia 10 III with Sailfish OS
I paritcularly dislike the Unfairphone (not actually repairable as older models don't have part availability)
Also Pixel phones raise red flags as these are developed by google.
Is there any other alternatives?

I just finnished reading "Ink black heart" by Robert Galbraith aka J.K. Rowling. A hefty 1000 pager. I must say that I much enjoy the Strike series storylines. They increasingly have a similar vibes than Agatha Chtisties novels.
However with this book, i did notice some themes that I think have not been apparent in previous five books in the series:
- Far right extermism. Far right secret group consists purely of white men, most of which are misogynistic&violent&dum. They mainly do social media operations and send parcel bombs.
- Bitcoin - The far right extermist group is called "the halvening". Bitcoin is used in the book only to buy illegal stuff from darknet. Usage bitcoin is talked like it is really shady "dark magic" that only true criminals know how to do.
- Twitter and online precence. Twitter is shown as a place where most of the people maliciously hide behind nicknames. Most of the content spread is hateful or toxic some way. Peoples online identies are ruthlessly stolen, and the people private information is represented as easily explorable and exploitable in the internet.
I am not happy on how the things are represented, but I guess this represents the state of public discourse nowdays.

You are impatient..
You only have one "profile" at the relays which each client can load&update. A client should not re-write (broadcast) your data at startup, but there is no guarantee that it checks for changes done by a different client. A good client will tho.
What zap adress people see&use depends on what info their client pulls from relays. Can the lighting adress be defined multiple ways? I do not know? For me, amethyst shows only your primal address.

You start by buing a mushroom collectors book and learning the most basic (and plentiful) food mushrooms. Then just go to forest and find even one edible one. Then just as you find any new mushroom from forest, find out what it is a and how edible it is.
There are even apps that can guess the mushroom from camera (or simply use google lens).
I started collecting these just this fall and have been totally hooked up. Super useful thing to know, and makes some really delicous foods possible. You'll soon start to notice the mushrooms completely different way.

I immidiately see how the small head caps would be lost, rendering the battery fully useless. Also, the usb-port takes away so much space that it impacts the battery life. Sorry to be dismissive. :D Recargeable batteries are really cool.
I use "ikea ladda" rechargeable batteries or similar all the time. They have a separate charger unit. I like the self-sufficiency those give. I do not need to rely on buying new batteries all the time.
I even have an electric toothbrush that runs on these. It is more long-living than "integrated battery" models. Those reach end-of-life in about 2 years as the intergrated battery detoriates.

The algos trick people into not building an actual social network by introducing a fake curated one. However, the fake one is usually still so addictive that people will stick with it.
I have not posted almost anything in twitter during 2 years there, and only follow >40 people. As the algo's are there, I did not have a need to actually follow anyone but maybe few key users whose content I want to keep up with all the time. Result: I haven't got an own feed but only a algo built cage. And low propability to any actual social interaction.

In my opinion, community notes is a broken system. It is based on writer reputation inside the "community notes" system. Getting enough reputation requires that people invest in building reputation - not that they invest in buiding real world skills, knowledge or actual critical thinking.
The system is easily captured by politically motivated minority of active users. No normal people will invest the required work.
What do you others think? Could the incentives be improved somehow?

Did you know that most of the gasoline cars can be resonably easily converted to also run E85 ethanol based fuel. A finnish company Eflexfuel manufactures this easy-to-install kit. It measures the ethanol content from the fuel line so you can run either ethanol or gasoline or any mixture.
I installed a kit to my 08 outback three years ago, and have been enjoying it.
Main benefits:
- Redundancy as the car is not so much dependent on fossil (imported) oil. Ethanol can be brewed from biowaste locally.
- Cheaper pump price (Real saving is low typically <10cents per liter as the MPG is reduced with e85)
- Less enviromental impact. (e85 calculated to emit up to 80% less "lifetime emissions")
- Nicer smell :D The exhaust smells much like a portable alcohol camaping stove.
My favourite car youtuber just relased a video of how easy it is to convert a car to run E85 without conpromising the possibility to run gasoline anytime. I also installed it myself - it took one short evening and cost ~300€ at the time.

You must cure the pan just like a cast-iron pan. (Burn small layer of oil into the pan surface) My carbon steel pan had some kind of pre-treatment so it was nicely black from the beginning and only required curing after a while.
I have not needed more than hot water and soft brush to keep it clean.
Apart from slight bending under heat I am really happy with my carbon steel pan, and will never switch back to short-lifespan teflon pans.
I cook everything form eggs and sauces to beef with the same pan. Cast iron tends to be too rough for eggs, scary to use on induction stove and also too heavy.

I might just compesate the relentless praising on Finland.
The now finished nuclear plant (Olkiluoto3) was originally planned to be operational at 2009. It was merely 14 years late from the schedule.
There was another plan to build a totally new reactor site. Construction of the plant infra was already started at 2014. Unfortunetly, the main partners for construction and financing came from Russia. The project had lots of problems with state regulations, and did not even manage to get actual building permit before the invasion to Ukraine. All work has naturally been halted since.
There has been high regulatory barriers for new nuclear plants in Finland, and also some really fierce political opposition. It is quite an achievement that many other western nations have managed to make even worse decisions.

Recently opened iris.to after over a month using primaly amethyst on android. @martti has been doing some excellent work.
Stuff that I really like:
- Gridwiew media
- Content sorting by zaps/likes as an additional feature
- Robustness and simplicity - really feels like you are in control of the app
- Global that is based on follower "distance" - though Ametyst's full global witg reporting is even better
- Especially like Martti's concentration on privacy - I believe Iris still is fully operational over tor.
Stuff that i don't like

👏👏👏 Awesome! You just convinced me to set up alarm at 5am (finnish time) just so that I can hear as much of this as possible.
A great thing to listen in during a long day alone at my new home construction site.

There was a piece about the digital euro in Finnish state news media today: "Money usage will become free around eurozone - central bank will provide citizens a digieuro to substitute card payments"
Few takeaways from the article:
1) Surveilance: Article claims that Idea of the digieuro is not to track single users and what they are paying for. One the other hand it is stated that it will need to be connected to your digital ID, and that it cannot be fully anomoys to make it possible to stop money laundering and terrorism.
- Translation: Full tracking possible and will be used.
2) Verifiability: It must be made impossible to derive central bank total balance sheet from the system. This is so that it does not inflict financial stability problems and therefore endanger the deployment of monetary policy -Finnish Central Bank top board member
- In plain words: You are not allowed to know how much digieuros are created. This must be done because if everyone knew - everyone would know that the euro has no value.
Digieuro will be a total opposite of Bitcoin!
Opt out.
