How did I spend my first vacation day? Finally spent time setting up self-hosted SurfSense.

Two birds with one stone, you know.

I can finally move away from NotebookLM, plus this was an opportunity to rest my mind by doing something fun that’s not related to […]

Two pictures from yesterday. The first one shows how to get a sunny flat during a Baltic autumn. The second — I don’t know, folks… Even Mariah Carey isn’t singing yet, but Riga is already placing fairy lights on trees.

So, the whole company went to Norway this weekend, and it looks like most of us survived. #theplacetobe #tp2b

Here is a picture of how it looked.

My apologies to those who tried to get to Oslo on Friday from other Nordic countries and the Baltics, or back […]

Last Sunday for late beer runs in Latvia — after next week, grocery stores can only sell alcohol until 8pm on weekdays and Saturdays, and 6pm on Sundays. Pubs still aren’t affected, though.
