    Les Pardaillan by Michel Zevaco.
    It is a series of 10 books. I am on the 2nd book right now.

    By far, it is the best story I have ever read. You are not reading the book but living in it - in France!

    I am on the 2nd book but already cried and laughed many times!

    Hello!

    I checked it as git.sr.ht as well and the result is same.

    I mentioned about Github just for the reference. I tried for the Github to see if I'm doing something wrong with generating SSH keys but it worked with Github. When I try to generate SSH key for Sourcehut, I'm having this problem. I seperated the keys by the way. I'm setting up the ssh key for the correct providers. They are not mixed in anyway. For test, I will remove all keys and make a new one for Sourcehut only to see how it goes.

    Hey guys.

    I'm trying to make the connection between my system and Sourcehut. I created my Ssh key and added pub key to the Sourcehut. Added the private key with the ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 code after the "eval" thing.

    Whenever I try ssh git@sr.ht, it asks for password. I do not know what password it is and I'm entering my passphrase but it says permission denied.

    On Github side, I managed everything without problem tho. Any hints?

    EDIT: I removed Git and SSH keys completely. Reinstalled Git again. Followed the instructions step by step for the SSH keys and it worked this time. I have no idea what I did different this time but it works now after 3 hours of hell.. I suspect that I made a typo in config file in SSH directory. Thanks for comments guys! I love you all!

    I would love to self-host a Tildes instance with my domain to create a community in my native language speakers. I saw, from old posts, that it is not an easy process at all. But I really love the concept and the style of Tildes. It is better than Reddit and other Fediverse platforms.
    Is there anyone who managed to host Tildes instance?

    I would be so glad to have some guidance.

    It has a very active community and there are lots of tournaments. Matches are very intense and fun.
    Europa Universalis IV:
    At this point of my life, I can say I am almost super pro at this game with thousands of hours 🥲

    I also want to get into Red Alert and Star Craft series but I find them super complicated for some reason lol. Maybe I lost my game learning skills at the age of 29…

    As a non-EU citizen, I was working in Estonia. The job was not bad but then I got offered an overseas sales position in Japan and moved here thinking my life would be better. Now I regret coming here so much due to working culture being so bad and seeing no future in Japan's economy...

    I want to return back to Europe to my previous job but I ended up spending most of my savings for coming to Japan and I don't have enough money to restart a new life there in Europe. Everyday is like hell to me here in Japan for 4 months. I feel like I messed up with my career at the age of 29. I feel really stuck here.

    Yes, owning a house is easier here. It is much more affordable. But Japanese Yen is getting cheaper recently and inflation is getting worse constantly. So I am not sure if the future is bright for those who earn salary with Yen :(

    I am earning over average so I am not in a bad situation but most of the Japanese people are having economical problems due to heavy inflation recently…

    Even with this inflation tho, quality of life is better than in EU or US. Japan is still safe, has good health care, there is no housing crisis, has good nature and delicious food. If I have the choice to choose where to be poor at between Japan or EU, I prefer being poor in Japan, I guess.

    I've been trying to learn Dwarf Fortress. It is very complex and deep. That's the reason why I love it but also the reason why it is so difficult to learn:) On my first game play, I made a huge stockpile underground. Gathered tons of sources thinking it was a very rich start. I was dreaming how awesome my base was gonna be. Then, the water started leaking to my stockpile and from there to my dormitory. I did everything to stop it, made tons of wall but in the end, I lost everything and everyone and did a rage quit :(

    I'm also playing Rimworld and I can say I'm not bad at it. But Dwarf Fortress is just another level at complexity.

    Besides these games, another favorite games of mine are Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour and Europa Universalis IV.

    I've been playing Generals Zero Hour online for like 15 years, I guess? It has a very good and active community. Games are always fun. There are lots of tournaments.

    Thanks to the Europa Universalis IV, I know the most of the city names in Europe and Middle East. I know main events, incidents in the history very well. EU IV is just love, guys. Please play it. Such a cultural piece of diamond.

    29/M/Japan

    My first job was a Japanese translator job at a world wide known Japanese company. My second was a dealer(gambling industry) job for super rich Japanese customers at a company in Europe. Now I work at overseas sales position for a manufacturing company as a Japanese, Turkish, English speaker in Japan.

    I'm self teaching web development tho -out of my work hours- as my dream is to be a developer.
