Rolle Laukkarinen has written code for 30 years and hosted his own Linux servers for about two decades. He is founder and CTO of Digitoimisto Dude Oy, a web agency that has run its entire infrastructure on European servers since 2013 and publishes most of what it builds as open source, including the air-light starter theme with over 1100 stars on GitHub. He chairs Mementomori ry, runs the 1000-user Mastodon instance mementomori.social, and has published something online weekly since 1999. He still configures his IRC client exactly the way he wants it.
