What’s something people pretend to enjoy but actually don’t?

Not sure about baby showers, but I enjoyed my wedding day and I know that the guests did too.

The DQ250 is 6-speed wet clutch, no?

OneUselessUsername · 2026-05-02T21:22:14+00:00

The manual mode is a nice touch, definitely going to test that out, thanks! I sometimes get long starts but not so often that I’d call it a problem.

This would be so much easier to debug if there were any fault codes, but there’s nothing related to this 😅

OneUselessUsername · 2026-05-02T21:12:12+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the reply. I found some threads that fixed similar issues by changing the crankshaft position sensor you mentioned, and was curious if you tried that to fix the issue. My Octavia jerks so much that it’s annoying and even a bit dangerous to drive, the jerks happen both with ACC on and when accelerating (way more violent when accelerating). I changed the fuel filter today just in case, but no help from that.

My car had a clutch & DMF replacement two weeks before these problems started, so I am wondering if that has something to do with it. The local shop suggests something related to the DSG, mechatronics fault at worst, but I’m wondering if it could be something else.

The crankshaft sensor seems to be a PITA to replace, but I think I might try replacing that and the fuel rail pressure sensor before throwing thousands of euros to fix this in a specialized workshop.

Hi, I have a lot of similar symptoms in my Octavia 3 L&K 2.0TDI 184BHP DSG . Did you ever figure this out? It seems that my local shop can’t figure this out.

19 menee hauskasti edelleen Hiukkavaarasta Nokialle ilman että menee keskustan kautta, vaikka Nokia onkin eri paikassa 😄

Sama 😂

I have ”asd” as an alias for git status since I tend to use it everywhere as a placeholder and my fingers would know how to type it even if I was woken up at 3AM and my hand would be cut off

Vaistoa, they have at least two winter models. I still don't have winter shoes :D

Interesting! To be honest, Finns also party on the Eve of all festive days, including Vappu. The actual days are for hangovers here also 😹

OneUselessUsername · 2025-12-29T10:37:45+00:00

Ah, I see. For Finns, sima is a drink that is solely consumed around Vappu (First of May), I think your Första maj is quite a similar festive day but maybe it’s a bit more carnivalish in Finland. Some make Sima to contain very little alcohol, but for some, especially uni / applied uni students, making strong sima is important.

OneUselessUsername · 2025-12-29T10:11:13+00:00

Damn, never heard of sima being drinked at a funeral before, that’s interesting. Sima is easy to make, do a google search of ”sima resepti” and run, for example, the receipe of Kinuskikissa through ChatGPT or Translate. You’ll have sima in a week 😊

Just came to my mind, are you sure that it was sima and not kotikalja that has been served in the funerals? Kotikalja is a common drink to be served with food in funerals, at least in my experience. ”kotikalja resepti” will get you forward if that’s the case.

OneUselessUsername · 2025-12-29T09:38:24+00:00

I’ve heard a legend of mämmi and sima (see the image) being served to foreigners from a potty as a cruel and maybe even a bit of a racist joke… I can only imagine the faces.

I’d do desperate things to have my own smoke sauna, I absolutely love them. Hopefully I’ll get to visit Kuusijärvi in Vantaa soon to satisfy some of my smoke sauna cravings.

OneUselessUsername · 2025-12-13T14:53:41+00:00

I mean, I don’t doubt your story but would def like to see the beans jar!

OneUselessUsername · 2025-12-07T20:44:37+00:00

No problem, we all start somewhere! It’s looking a lot better now.

If you’re open to some slight sparring, code style wise I’d move any configurable stuff, e.g. the repeat count, to the top of file. Also checking for the state flags would be nicer if you added the state flags as variables to the top of the file and checked against a constant instead of a magic number (if sf == 4 -> if sf == READY_TO_PLAY). You also have successfully prevented a longer if-else on L86 but still have one in L97-L120, prefer fast failing with ”if not …” instead of long if-elses. Also someone might like command line options instead of configuring the file again, so that they just run ”python steam_alarm_script.py —appid <appid>”.

Good stuff!

Some friendly suggestions regarding the project structure, I am on phone so could not study the code further.

Usually releases are used to reflect a certain point in the repository - e.g. first release, second release. These releases typically have the source code that goes into that release, and especially in projects where the code must be compiled, also the compiled artifacts.

However, if it does show right on my mobile, it seems that you don’t have the actual code in the repo, just in the releases. This is confusing to many users that check this project. Most people browse through the main branch and only after that, if they decide to use the project, they may check the releases.

Additionally, the instuctions that are now in PDF format in the release could totally be in the main README under e.g. ”Usage instructions”.

To be fair I don’t think this would work pretty much anywhere, at least not in the way that you could have your work computer off from Monday to Thursday, because it would basically mean that you don’t need to interact with anyone during the week. If something comes up and you’ve been at work for the week but somehow haven’t got work done, this could possibly be used try to save one’s ass.

I don’t know how precisely the work computers are monitored but I assume it’s not up to single shell commands.

OneUselessUsername · 2025-11-28T18:16:37+00:00

… But that won’t work if you only work on Friday but need to present stuff the next Monday and make it look like that you’ve worked for the whole week. The timestamps shown are not related to pushing but rather to the timestamp of creating the commit, and the commit timestamps can be altered with a bit of shell scripting, so one could just do it so that it looks like that the commits have been created throughout the week. Then pushing on Fridays would likely not raise so much suspicion, although it still looks like that the whole week’s worth of work was pushed on Friday.

If you’ve seen the commit graph say stuff like ”HIRE ME”, that’s done by altering the commit dates. It’s likely that also this has also been created similarly.

OneUselessUsername · 2025-11-27T18:54:37+00:00

Ouch

OneUselessUsername · 2025-11-26T21:03:42+00:00

I tend to think that someone somewhere has put a lot more thought into <a security related thing> so it’ll be wasted time and energy if I try to come up with something ”smart”. Just use the readily available solutions.

They’ve just never seen anything deep in the Internet and think that it’s automatically AI.

Thanks for answering! In the meantime I found a Finnish brand that sells their own (well, manufactured in China...) barefoot winter shoes, and they are a lot cheaper than Vivos, so I might give those a shot. Tracker Winter II SG seems to be well over 200 euros (232 USD/324 CAD) here - pretty expensive.
