Amra's 25 years at LEGO

Can you believe it? Yesterday was Amra's 25th anniversary at LEGO! In a time when many employees stay for only 3-4 years, this milestone is truly extraordinary.

I fondly recall a young Amra joining LEGO, full of enthusiasm to learn and grow – and what an incredible journey it has been! Across various departments, she has consistently been a respected, valued, and recognized colleague, known for her structured approach and hard work. LEGO deeply appreciates Amra's dedication and loyalty, and I am bursting with pride for her amazing 25 years of achievement. It's such a rarity these days.

Gnome is an acquired taste

Using Linux isn't easy if you're coming straight from Windows or macOS. There are many reasons for that. One big one is the lack of a unified design or package management. There are literally hundreds of different versions (distributions), and that alone often scares people off. It feels unfathomable and cryptic.

Easter in Øster Hurup

This Easter, I spent three lovely days with my girls in a cozy summer house in Øster Hurup, up in northern Jutland. We always use these holiday breaks to escape the daily hustle and reset our minds, and this one was no exception.

The beach there is beautiful, calm and quiet, and we were lucky to have a great view right from the house. We played card games, enjoyed some good food, and let ourselves unwind to the sound of gentle waves and the blissful absence of city noise.

It was a truly peaceful and refreshing time. Just what we needed.

Lovely place to spend Easter at.

The Struggle

It’s a frustrating time. The atrocious Russian aggression against Ukraine drags on painfully, Palestinian civilians continue to suffer deeply, and unnecessary trade tariffs are being imposed everywhere. But I’ll keep this post personal, and on a much smaller (and insignificant) scale.

Linux Minting again

2025-04-12 by dino

When I made the switch to Linux full-time almost six years ago, my first daily driver was Linux Mint. The experience was so smooth and user-friendly that I stuck with it for over a year—it just worked, and that was exactly what I needed back then.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago: I built a brand-new main PC. Shiny new hardware, but there was a catch—my go-to distro, Debian, didn’t have the drivers or firmware to support it out of the box. Trust me, I tried everything to get my Ethernet and Wi-Fi cards working in Debian. After days of tinkering and failing, I had to admit defeat (temporarily) and test out other distros while waiting for Debian to catch up with a newer kernel—hopefully something beyond version 6.13.
