Just a lvl 28 guy from Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.

During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.

  • I’m having the same issue. After scrolling for a while, I get “Failed to load more posts. Try again?” Started happening today. First I thought maybe my instance is having problems but it seems the issue only happens with Voyager.

    I’m using the beta version of the app too so maybe something is indeed broken in the latest beta?

    Edit: Should have mentioned I’m on Android.



  • Nothing major, but I have two stories that have stuck with me. I’m not superstitious or anything, and obviously these are just coincidences, but it’s interesting how the human mind loves finding connections between things even when there aren’t any.

    One morning in 2020, during the covid lockdowns, I woke up to the sound of a small bird pecking at my bedroom window. It was really going at it and wouldn’t fly away even after opening the blinds. For some reason, I wanted to take a picture of it, and just as I grabbed my phone, it rang and I got the news that my grandmother had passed away during the night. Right then, I noticed the bird flying away. My partner at the time insisted it was my grandma saying her final goodbyes. While I don’t believe that, the memory of that moment has stuck with me, and it still makes my eyes water a bit.

    The second incident also involves a bird, funnily enough. A friend and I were driving to a national park for an overnight hiking trip when we accidentally drove over something on a small forest road. I didn’t see it, but my friend said it looked like a small bird. I wanted to stop and check, but my friend, who was driving, just kept going. I jokingly said something like "Now we have bad karma, and the whole trip will get ruined somehow.” And would you know it, that very same day an unexpected heatwave hit the area, making the entire hike pretty miserable. This has become a running joke between us, every time we go hiking, we joke about how everything will go fine, as long as we can get there without running over anything on the way.
