I built analytics with Umami

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I came across a blog post by Orhun Parmaksız, where he lays out how he setup his blog. Kind of like how I wrote about how I updated my blog style and infrastructure.

Similarly, he is using a Static Site Generator but named Zola. I almost used it as well, but I didn’t find any great starter themes. They were too “terminal” and computer-styled.

What caught my attention was he’s use of a GitHub-powered commenting system, named utterances. I thought that was also quite rad. Even cooler, he said he is using an open source analytics, umami, to track who’s visited his site, from which device, where, and what were the most popular pages and posts. I’ve wanted exactly something like this!

Into the stillness

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0200

Six months before the fifth retreat.

I arrived at my first retreat carrying a lot on my shoulders. A firing from work that made me bitter and sad. After first retreat I understood my part in it.

Heartbreaks that had left grief behind and something physical. Also later I understood my role in it. I could feel the grief in my chest, not metaphorically but literally, like shapes with edges. I suffered from a gnawing loneliness that I neglected and shooed away and numbed with pornography.

Correlation is not Causation

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0200

I couldn’t think of a better title, I am sorry. It’s quite cliche, certainly. Anyway, I think correlation is witty. In my bachelor studies I studied a lot of advanced statistics and theory. Professors and teachers tried to nail the slogan ‘correlation is not causation’ to our brain.

Granted, correlation is one of the best things we have. Correlation gives even just faint direction when all else is dark and unknown. However, it is not at all a reliable indicator of anything by itself. So when I hear something is correlated, I cringe. Almost immediately I grow distrusting.

I built a Lightning Network paywall

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 15:00:00 +0200

Update. 20th, March. I believe a shrewd hacker somehow redirected the Lightning Network invoices to their wallet, making them just a few cents richer, and me more wiser. Quite fun, actually! Not my first rodeo. It makes a great story. I also made the paywal just for a specific subsection, instead of the whole article. I suppose not everyone has a LN wallet in their computers. Enjoy!

Update. 24th, March. Apparently Coinos has an issue with rotating tokens automatically, and it is not possible from my end to refresh them. In other words, it is not possible to pay LN invoice and unlock paywall given that their service is not working. It seems I must find another provider, but since this is a proof of concept, and I have a life, I am not going to dedicate any more time on this pet project. It was fun while it lasted.

Fifth meditation

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0200

I am now aware. I am aware of myself and breathing, the sensations on my nostrils and between my toes. A new world has opened up to me and there is no going back. This is the fifth meditation retreat.

Every other gimmick failed, but vipassana opened my horizons. It showed me what is, versus what I want things to be. It showed me, me, in the latest and truest form. Vipassana showed me joy and gratitude. It showed me God.

Tears of God

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0200

Before the 10-day retreat in August 2025, something had already cracked open. A month earlier, I was meditating alone in my room at home. After about half an hour I said certain words — three times. I don’t know why three times. Only later did I notice that in Gethsemane, Jesus also turned to God three times before his death.

Then I said those words, something happened that I still can’t fully comprehend: time jumped forward. I had been meditating for half an hour, and then suddenly it was an hour later. I know my body. I know what an hour feels like from the inside — I have seen it again and again, it is one of those things I can trust completely. This wasn’t tiredness, wasn’t distraction. Something threw me forward in time. I sat there stunned, unable to believe what had just happened. I laughed like a hyena.

How I surf the Web

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 19:49:00 +0200

The First Click

Windows 98

I clicked a glimmering power button on a light-gray box for the first time when I was five or six. This was a computer with Windows 98 installed in it. It was attached to a big, fat monitor, which I thought was “the computer”. All the other things didn’t matter; after all, I didn’t really “use” them. Mouse I held, keyboard I clicked away, and the screen I looked at. There was no tacit interaction, “an affordance” between me and the light-gray box. It was just a thing. A humming, indifferent thing.

My blog across the years

I have been blogging for eight years now. I have written about many things that interest me, and things about me that I have discovered. This blog is not so much a niche place for a specific subject, although lately I have been writing a lot about Bitcoin. (I am not called Bitcoin Ville for nothing!) This place is not my curriculum vitae, but a collection of opinions. This blog is my treasure trove of experiences written in words. It has become a personal and public journal. This place is a part of me now.

Pöö pöö dear friends and friends’ friends,

I don’t know where to start honestly. There’s a lot to say about me and as much not to say. I keep juicy secrets, like you, that’s for sure. I’m not going to tell every little detail about me to internet strangers. I have to play it cool, if you know what I mean? So all I could tell is a curated narrative, skewed by my willingness to share certain aspects, conditioned by time and context.

Omg but psilocybin is a drug! And? So is caffeine and alcohol, the ones that you are so dependent of to have fun at celebrations and to start your day in the morning.

My grandma told me once that “Do not eat those white mushrooms or else you end up in damnation!” She was probably just protective. And I wonder if she had tried them and had a bad experience, or “a bad trip” as they call it? Hmm. Well, the white mushrooms were probably deadly.

My Transition from Soldier to Advocate for Peace

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 19:06:00 +0000

A long time ago in a neighbourhood far, far away, between playing war games with carved wooden guns and printing a 10-page manifesto for my parents explaining why airsoft is safe to play, the idea of shooting guns and the concept of ‘military service’ started early on. I wanted to be a high-ranking officer and “level up” as in the war games. I would be at least a second lieutenant! (The highest rank attainable during military service as land trooper.)

Suicides in Finland Are Decreasing

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 17:28:00 +0000

My childhood friend committed a suicide not so long ago. I still remember the last day when I met him and my other childhood friend. I arranged a gathering and we drank beer and reminisced the good old times. I did not see anything suicidal in his behavior or in the way he talked. He had changed for sure, but everybody changes in ten to fifteen years. And so when I heard the news, I was without words.

3 Years of Personal Blogging – 5 Challenges I've Encountered

On Consistency

Thu, 30 Dec 2021 17:22:00 +0000

Have you noticed that consistent, right behavior is required to provide something of value. Routinely investing, exercising, painting, composing, and whatever, and if you keep doing it consistently—regularly and every day—you become a master at it and reap the maximum gains. This hold true for consistent lazy behavior too that is a path to becoming the very best procrastinator. I would know.

The Canadian lass has Scottish ancestry and knows how to make super delicious white bread. And the guy from the States actually has a Finnish passport, which means that upon arriving to Finland, the military asked him to join conscription. Ironic that he went to study peace but instead was given a rifle.

Experiences in the Netherlands in Retrospect

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 17:17:00 +0000

Pöö pöö hyvät ystävät. Netherlands was a great place to live despite what some of my peers thought. I loved the superior bicycle lanes, the rich and alternating architecture and canals, and the friendly people I met whereever I found myself. I got used to seeing ducks floating in the canals in the heart of the city, swans knocking cars in the parking space, cats roaming the streets, geese conquering the roundabout, cows and sheep grazing freely in the countryside, and horse poop. The Dutch are closely knit with animals.

Peace, Mediation, and Conflict Research

Thu, 16 Sep 2021 17:16:00 +0000

Pöö pöö hyvät ystävät. It has been a while. I graduated from Leiden University with bachelor degree in psychology. After summer it feels I have forgotten everything, though I do opine I have great academic literacy if nothing else. What a road. I thought I would become a psychologist, instead I am back in Finland studying peace, mediation, and conflict research (PEACE) in Åbo Akademi University? Peace studies are a multidisciplinary studies that aim to understand the causes of violence and war from many perspectives, including psychology.

My Studies Have Ended in the Netherlands

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 17:14:00 +0000

My three-year bachelor psychology studies are nearing an end. I feel that I have learned so much about psychology and science, friendship and love, cultures and countries, myself and others. Then again, I sense that I understand nothing and how much there is still to discover. I would say that the three years have taught me what life can be—that of what you want and make of it.

Reflecting on My Road to Bachelor in Psychology in Leiden and Beyond

Sat, 12 Dec 2020 17:13:00 +0000

Almost three years has passed since I started studying psychology in Leiden University. I started this blog too around then. Yet, I have not blogged nearly enough about my undergraduate studies, life in Holland, my thoughts on Leiden University and psychology, and so on. In this post, I tell all what comes to mind.

Banana is the King of the Fruits🍌

This is an apples to oranges comparison because apples have statistically a better advantage: there are more types of apples than there are types of bananas in a normal Western grocery store. Yet the alphabet of apples grapple against a single banana not even a royal gala stands a chance in my stance. Banana is the king of the fruits.

Schemas of Bitcoin

Mon, 15 Jun 2020 17:03:00 +0000

I was five or maybe six-years-old when I begun to understand what money means. First we had Finnish markka and Estonian kroons. Then we had euros and kroons, and later only euros. I remember as a little kid thinking myself why the world does not have money that everybody would use: a global money. Well now there is. It is called Bitcoin.

Why did George Floyd die?

Fri, 29 May 2020 17:00:00 +0000

As a habitual redditor, I follow the memes and schemes of the world. I’ve seen things some of you wouldn’t believe. A day ago, I watched how a black man was choked to death coldblooded by a “police officer”. His name was George Floyd. His death and its aftermath is all over the news. This time the matter will not fade like tears in the rain. Time for justice.

A little crimson-red couch has space for three people to sit on. One could also sleep on it.

This is the story of the couch and me.

Celebrating the Finnish Independence Day in Leiden

Wed, 18 Dec 2019 16:57:00 +0000

Although the Finnish Independence Day is already over and Christmas is soon here, I can’t hold my mind not to write how great the day was here in Leiden, Holland. Our celebration took place in the local student bar, the Pelibar. It is one of the best places to have fun in Friday night. But what was peculiar in the night was the chain of events that lead everyone there.

Of Beggars

Sun, 06 Oct 2019 16:57:00 +0000

The early begging experiences begin with ourselves. We beg for sweets from our parents in the shop and throw tantrums if we don’t get what we want. Sooner or later we begin to understand that this is not the way to go. There are better manipulation tactics like the nonverbal cute-dog-face expression. And once real life begging didn’t pan out for me in the early years, it then extended into the virtual realm.

Summer in Finland

Sat, 28 Sep 2019 20:20:00 +0000

I thought I was going to write something during the summer about something. Of psychology, interesting experiences, thoughts. …whatever really. I lacked motivation and my mind was busy elsewhere… This goes to show that thoughts and plans may not go as one would want. Especially when they are just that: just thoughts and incomplete plans. However, I wrote all my thoughts on my digital notebook, and now it is time to write again. Beginning, with summer.

Habits and Priorities

Wed, 06 Mar 2019 16:53:00 +0000

TL;DR. I didn’t stop blogging. I talk of habit creation. Psychology doesn’t apply to individuals as much as it does to people as a whole. Pros and cons of moving from shared to single room. Decorating is cool. Everything you do boils down to prioritizing. Do you own a bitchin’ attitude?

An Update, plus Plans for Early 2019

Sat, 12 Jan 2019 16:53:00 +0000

It has been a while since the last time I wrote. Getting back to the routine is tough after spending a lazy and nonchalant Christmas vacation. I had no worries because I found an inexpensive room from a village called Noordwijk just before vacation started. The sympathetic private agent called and told a decision was made and I was chosen. He asked if I accepted the room. Oh HELL yea! It happened so fast that I could not believe my eyes (ears technically speaking). One phone call and all stress evaporated.

Accident Astray

Wed, 28 Nov 2018 16:52:00 +0000

Fifteen years old, young and naivë, I participated in the Finnish Lutheran tradition, the confirmation class. It was the last step before I had the right to marry: as if I was going to meet a girl anyways, not to mention marry, ever. An outsider could describe the ceremony as a cult trying to brainwash the young plastic minds with the mighty deeds of Jesus, and the word of the God and the Holy Spirit.

The First Exams Are Over

Tue, 13 Nov 2018 16:51:00 +0000

It was Sunday. I was recovering from a minor headache. I had enjoyed probably few too many vodka shots at friend’s place the day before. The deadline for a research paper assignment was due very soon and I hadn’t had a slightest clue where to start and what to write of. The laundry machine alerted “Houston, we have a problem” keeping my only underwear hostage until noon, when I finally found the hidden emergency lever. The exam week was tomorrow…

Eureka, Psychology!

Fri, 26 Oct 2018 16:50:00 +0000

“What do you want to do when you grow up?”

When I was a little child, in every family reunion all the relatives has asked me this same question half seriously, half jokingly. I didn’t know the answer.

Truth is that the notion of a dream career, including the wide array of other ambitions and motivations, shapes and shifts form in a constant flux. Usually at a slow pace, but sometimes quite drastically. Something happened to me one day. I experienced a sudden epiphany: I want to be a psychologist.

The Defier of the Wind Emperor

Wed, 10 Oct 2018 16:49:00 +0000

I enjoy my morning coffee, pack my laptop, books and notes in the yellow backpack. I exit the bicycle shed. I have two bicycles; a metal lump of a roadster with an ugly paint, and a grey rusty piece of scrap that once resembled a fine racing bicycle. The breaks, gears and chains are nearing the need of care and oil. Regardless of the looks and mechanics, the new bicycle has proven to be a solid and reliable machine. I climb on my bicycle and set the course towards Leiden. A bold sea wind blasts against me as I begin accelerating. A storm is brewing. Winter is coming.

The Weeks Preceding This Moment, a Review

Sun, 16 Sep 2018 16:48:00 +0000

The current milieu: rain is deluging the streets, wind is blowing from all angles and dark grey clouds loom above. Distant, frustrated drivers honking at who knows, and the air in the streets stenches like garbage. Makes me question why urbanization is trending. I am currently sitting on an uncomfortable plastic chair and enjoying the occasional Doppler effect of an ambulance siren buzz. Fortunately, my audiophile quality music occupies the sound space of my consciousness.

Things Clicked!

Thu, 30 Aug 2018 16:47:00 +0000

Victory! I found accommodation. In short, I did thorough planning and contemplation on living in a camper van during the studies. But first I had to know for sure if it was a valid option. I sought advice first from the municipality and then from the university. I discovered that it is not a legally possible long-term solution, which is why I didn’t pursue the contingency plan. However, after getting more knowledge in the matter, traveling and living in a camper van is now in my bucket list for sure. During the second inquiry I was offered a room from the Hague, and there and then I signed the papers.

Why I Started a Blog

Tue, 14 Aug 2018 16:46:00 +0000

Finally, I had the motivation to start writing a personal blog. Countless moments of pondering, planning and procrastinating this blog was born, though it wasn’t an easy task. Particularly, the trouble was choosing the right platform, while also considering the technical quirks, blog design and most importantly: the ease of setup. I wasn’t going to install everything manually, namely databases, domains, CSS, and everything in-between. Additionally, I most definitely wasn’t too keen on spending too much dough on it.

My First Bitcoin Coffee

Sat, 11 Aug 2018 16:41:00 +0000

My expedition in the Netherlands had a few leisure activities too apart from all the exhaustive house search. As an avid cryptocurrency advocate, part of the plan was to find the one the café that accepted Bitcoin in Amsterdam — Wijs en Zonen, recommended by a redditor, 4 years ago. The mission was to buy my first Bitcoin coffee.
