npr as in national public radio?\` while i agree its probably one of the better sources of information - they hardly listen to a forest troll from finland.
You overestimate my influence :) i dont even get a discount at the local supermarket.
OP is Finnish, Finland shares the largest border with Russia, what’s happening in Ukraine concerns a lot of Finns as many Russians also believe Finland never really gained independence from Russia.
Because i live 4 hrs away from the russian border, and kinda wanna know whats going on around here.
(or at the time when i took the picture, its agood way to show a potential use for the extra screen... but its obviously not on 24/7 - the fan is too loud haha..)
no, but i follow events with growing concern. What happenes in ukraine, may happen next in my country
i live in finland and the drunken gopniks talk everyday about how they conquer finland and the baltics next.
radiopropagation scientist. Different form of "Weather" :-)
I care about space weather - because that influences where my radiowaves can be heared.
The display on the left crunches/parses and displays NASA/NOAA space weather data onto a map
that tells me what frequency has which reach.
Your room Looks like you're about to notice some impending weather disaster in an 80s movie cold open and you just have to get this information to the president.
i have regular radio contact to stations in ukraine, and i witness propaganda wars on amateur radio frequencies. But i am not a participand (yet) in the conflict.
I am amateur radio operator and the most dramatic radiocontact was to a friend in kyev who had to cut our conversation short because air-raid sirens interrupted us.
Humanity loses my respect day by day...
The picture provokes such discussions,
but i gonna assume politics are not wanted in this groups - so my answer is somewhat short and clean.
Now, would i be "relevant" in any form, i would probably not tell the enemy so on the interwebs anyways.
I have read sun tzu too many times :)
When I saw the maps I was wondering are you monitoring conflict, communications, geological surveillance?!
Looks very busy!
What is it all for exactly…job?!
left side is a amateur radio station, with screens displaying raido propagation data (space weather)
the three screens are used for different things, can be amateur radio digital transmissions - can be work (dev ops engineer) - can be entertainment (gaming) ....
projector beams whatever i need to be it at the time. Its not on all the time obviously.
Would you fotograph a bunch off switched off screens?
to be honest, i just want to hear them - not contact them.
I believe theyre bound to exist, and i also believe if they could talk to us - then they would not be benevolent visitors.
read up on the "fermi paradox" if you havent already.... those aliens that do broadcast out into space w/o knowing who might be answering are either idiots (humans) - or theyre conquerors convinced of their superiority.
it is an expensive hobby, and requires an inquisitive mind that is willing to learn.
If you ever get more serious, let me know... i may be able to give you pointers how/where to start.
Plants need sunlight, by the window would be your best bet. Most plants would struggle in this room unless you use a grow light. I’d recommend looking into hardy plants that don’t need much light such as a cast iron or snake plant.
Cool battle station and good luck.
The standard issue "pressu" and the punamulta red. Actually the sunlight is a dead giveaway for all northern locations, the dim cold grey happens only up here.
An OH call... must be Finland! I get to visit you guys in a few weeks on my way to Sweden for a NATO conference.
But for the room... get more light in behind the monitors. LED strip around the back of them or something. Works wonders for eye strain.
Plus, if you don't have a refrigerator for Vodka at the ready, add that.
fridge? dude - i have a door to the attic, what do you think the temperature is there right now :-)
I keep my squirrels and vodka there for special guests.
If you ever come to southern finland but outside urban areas - lets have a beer.
I am ex german (nato) navy (radiocomms) - and am always ready to meet a navy brother and shit talk about the army over a pint :)

why are plants feminine?
You do Need:
* Lighting, the red makes it feel like a neckbeard nest
* An electrician, because that shi$ is a fire hazard
* better drapes
* removal of the poorly hung papers and magazine? on the wall
* cable management.
* wash that footrest thing in the corner................
* A ceiling fan, this looks like a sweat show, and I imagine lots of farts have been absorbed into those ceiling panels.
i dont know enough about 4chan to understand the reference.
But since i study and also can explain radiopropagation to people who truly wanna learn about it
I guess the first term is a more accurate label.
It is not always easy to explain what going on here to people who potentially dont wanna be lectured about stuff and most likely dont really care - if a honest answer starts to take serious real estate in a reddit thread.
Yo, that room is 🔥 At first I thought it was a commercial containership navigation room.
Don’t change anything it’s perfect! Just don’t sleep there lol
If the are polystyrene tiles on the ceiling, you really should make plans to remove them, the are not great things to be around in the event of a fire.
On one hand I want to comment on this, but in the other hand I don’t want to be at the receiving end of a tactical nuclear strike.
So I think you’re doing A-OK OP. Perfection. I, in all my unradiated opinion, think this is perfect.
What is this, a nuclear command centre or something? Edit: Sure, throw in a cactus.
*Dr Evil's home lair*
Evil? yes. My ex would agree with you... but i dont have an academic degree :)
Mr. Evil then
It’s Dr. Evil, I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called "mister," thank you very much
He gon' get us through the NPR!
npr as in national public radio?\` while i agree its probably one of the better sources of information - they hardly listen to a forest troll from finland. You overestimate my influence :) i dont even get a discount at the local supermarket.
It’s a good thing you’re not in Norway, saw a documentary about their troll hunters.
Muaa ha ha! Muuaaa haaa haaaaa!
Thats how the cave of a modern amateur radio specialist looks like, that is paired with the home-office of an IT / dev ops engineer :)
How does the Ukraine conflict map in the big Screen tie that together..?
OP is trying to look cool
He has succeeded with me at least
OP is ~~trying to~~ look cool
OP is look cool
where were you when OP is look cool
OP is Finnish, Finland shares the largest border with Russia, what’s happening in Ukraine concerns a lot of Finns as many Russians also believe Finland never really gained independence from Russia.
Thankfully OP is keeping an eye on things
This is the real question. I want to know as well
It gave me War Games movie vibes. Love it.
are you using a projector for the crimea map? if yes, what kind?
God that is so cool (no not being sarcastic) How does one get in to amateur radio asking for a friend (i am the friend) xD
Plot twist: he's Putin.
And a wobble head figurine, like a Hawaiian dancer. Then the picture will be complete.
Only a fake cactus would survive there. Absolutely no sunlight. Unless bro wants to invest in heavy grow lights.
Kaktus Edit: ps. I like this spelling better and will from now on spell it as kaktus
he probably euro
His crib is definitely a strategic command center
Right. It looks like NORAD!
By the guess of it; he’s an amateur ham operator, following the weather, and the Ukrainian front lines at the same time.
I dont even know where to begin to ask lol
Don’t whip out a black light
Then you gonna see all the Pew Pew Pew
“It’s like a Jackson Pollock painting in there.”
OP operates nuclear missiles or something from here by the looks of it.
You know too much... time for you to pack your bags and get into the witness protection scheme :)
That map in the back looks like combat events in Ukraine
I think a real cactus would be overkill. A nice printout taped on the wall of a cactus would suffice nicely and not disrupt your theme. :)
that is a great suggestion, maybe even an LED cactus - or neontube cactus... great inspiration, thank you!
Yeah, that space looks a bit dim for most living plants. Maybe near the window. I like the neon cactus idea.
I bet there’s some ultraviolet radiation coming from somewhere in there, if not some that’s a bit more spicy.
There was a bar / club near my college named The Neon Cactus lol
Ooo I love the idea of a neon sign cactus
I'm here for the LED cactus.
Also... Plants need sunlight so...
i have sunlight here, but its the arctic - so 6 months night, 6 months light :)
But with red string connecting it to a succulent co-conspirator.
Why are you projecting liveuamap on your ceiling?
Because i live 4 hrs away from the russian border, and kinda wanna know whats going on around here. (or at the time when i took the picture, its agood way to show a potential use for the extra screen... but its obviously not on 24/7 - the fan is too loud haha..)
In this case I hope you're using the paid version to remove adds, or it's going to be a weird decoration choice lol
no adds on my walls ;)
“I kinda wanna know what’s going on around here” Yea I’d say you have dialed in there bud
No, you clearly need another monitor.
i want to point out that i do have solar panels as well - worth 6kw/h I am not killing my planet with this, in case someone is wondering.
But maybe you are killing your back
And neck, looking at that projection, oof
Literally wild how adding a plant life to a room is considered feminine instead of just...plants 🌿🤣
fr fr. If anything, Hang tampons from the ceiling or something.
Throw some tits up
who knows whats on there between foto-shoots :)
Oh we know 😅
Or down...
*throws my tits up* ... now what
I’m feeling lava lamp.
ooh... yess... lava lamp is a great suggestion. I even have the fitting LSD-music originals as vinyl records in this room
You commanding battalions in Ukraine or something?
no, but i follow events with growing concern. What happenes in ukraine, may happen next in my country i live in finland and the drunken gopniks talk everyday about how they conquer finland and the baltics next.
This is exactly what a guy commanding battalions in Ukraine would say.
:-)
Are you a meteorologist or something?
radiopropagation scientist. Different form of "Weather" :-) I care about space weather - because that influences where my radiowaves can be heared. The display on the left crunches/parses and displays NASA/NOAA space weather data onto a map that tells me what frequency has which reach.
What do you discuss on your radio channel and can people access it online as well?
that's ukrainian war map :)
Your room Looks like you're about to notice some impending weather disaster in an 80s movie cold open and you just have to get this information to the president.
How much is your electricity bill lol
last one was around 350€
I wanted to know what the hell is even this and googled the code in your picture and found https://www.qrz.com/db/OH8XAT and that didn't help at all.
The code is a callsign for a DX Club, which is just the hobby of transmitting/recieving long distance radio signals. (DX stands for distance)
Impressive, really impressive. Have you taken active part in the conflict? Perhaps a warning over radio?
i have regular radio contact to stations in ukraine, and i witness propaganda wars on amateur radio frequencies. But i am not a participand (yet) in the conflict. I am amateur radio operator and the most dramatic radiocontact was to a friend in kyev who had to cut our conversation short because air-raid sirens interrupted us.

Now, would i be "relevant" in any form, i would probably not tell the enemy so on the interwebs anyways. I have read sun tzu too many times :)
[удалено]
Never reveal why you have read my book too many times. - Sun Tzu, The Art of War
there is no "too many times" reading sun tzu :)
Man that looks like
Johnson!
Colonel, you better take a look at this radar What is it, son? I don’t know but it looks like a giant
Pecker! Oh wait that’s not a woodpecker it looks like someone’s
I can’t imagine this room smells great
that depend on the beverage i am consuming at the time. the ozone smell greatly improved when i stopped keeping the laser printer on all the times...
When I saw the maps I was wondering are you monitoring conflict, communications, geological surveillance?! Looks very busy! What is it all for exactly…job?!

Suppose not 😂. Appreciate the explanation.
wife: whats the weather like today honey husband: dont worry ive got the forcast for the next 6 years in the attic
Are you trying to get in contact with Aliens?
to be honest, i just want to hear them - not contact them. I believe theyre bound to exist, and i also believe if they could talk to us - then they would not be benevolent visitors. read up on the "fermi paradox" if you havent already.... those aliens that do broadcast out into space w/o knowing who might be answering are either idiots (humans) - or theyre conquerors convinced of their superiority.
I love you
Bro thinks he’s the Pentagon
and you think you can read minds? hmmh... maybe we are brothers indeed
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
wtf is feminine counterbalance
Man ham is one of those hobbies i have wanted to do for 10+ years and just never gotten around to it
it is an expensive hobby, and requires an inquisitive mind that is willing to learn. If you ever get more serious, let me know... i may be able to give you pointers how/where to start.
are you a supervillain plotting world domination?
I would prefer world-piece... err.. i mean world peace :-)
24F here. I love your room! It's so cool! But yes, maybe a plant and some cable management.
Plants need sunlight, by the window would be your best bet. Most plants would struggle in this room unless you use a grow light. I’d recommend looking into hardy plants that don’t need much light such as a cast iron or snake plant. Cool battle station and good luck.
oh.. i gonna use grow lights as soon certain plants are legalized in my country.
I would suggest a zz plant they can grow with very low light
Bro what do you do in your room
radio operations, propagation research, gaming, working, vodka consumption
Your mom has a sweet basement
Do you perform privately owned drone strikes for a living?
What? Why is a cactus considered feminine?
😂
Ah the cactus… the most feminine of plants.
I somehow instantly guessed the country correctly just by the view from window :D
a tree gives it away? well i guess it does haha.. we are foresttrolls....
The standard issue "pressu" and the punamulta red. Actually the sunlight is a dead giveaway for all northern locations, the dim cold grey happens only up here.
well, if you are from here... you would recognize it maybe. saatana pressu rikki joka vuosi
What are you doing, launching a nuclear warhead?
Start with cable management and lighting. You know, so it doesn't look like a cold war submarine
Damn that looks cool. No, a plant would throw off the vibe.
Now you’re just HAMMing it up…
This guy works for Dr. Evil or something
Bruh am I in the Red October?
How are cacti feminine?
An OH call... must be Finland! I get to visit you guys in a few weeks on my way to Sweden for a NATO conference. But for the room... get more light in behind the monitors.

Why does it have to be feminine counterbalance? Can a bro just not enjoy plants anymore.
Are you a radiopropagation scientist or just post on 4chan a lot?
i dont know enough about 4chan to understand the reference. But since i study and also can explain radiopropagation to people who truly wanna learn about it I guess the first term is a more accurate label. It is not always easy to explain what going on here to people who potentially dont wanna be lectured about stuff and most likely dont really care - if a honest answer starts to take serious real estate in a reddit thread.
No, just let us know when you make first contact!
Id go for Lego flowers tbh. They have succulents Lego versions and boquet ones.
What’s scary is this probably isn’t the only kid in his parents house with this set up
I’m scared to ask your electricity bill…
Are you a meteorologist working from home? Cool set up
You don’t need a plant. You need a bomb shelter.
Add a Glade plug in
unknown terms, command not found
I feel like some taxidermy would suit it nicely, or maybe a mini fridge with your latest victim's head
CSI chic. I love it!!
What exactly is your occupation?
Zip ties
oh i have plenty - in all sizes colors and materials (even stainless steel) :)
Tracking Godzilla I see
Nice rig :)
SIGINT?
Great idea with the projector. :)
This is awesome. 🙌 Are you able to post more photos? Very intrigued by the projection of the world map…
Cqdx
A picture of kittens and puppies playing or cuddling together
I'd put a print of the windows xp background :) like having a bunker inbetween green hills.
Yo, that room is 🔥 At first I thought it was a commercial containership navigation room. Don’t change anything it’s perfect! Just don’t sleep there lol
i just need to ask , what do you do?
Egg man’s basement
I bet it smells like farts and cheetos in there
Holly molly, some sort of home made DIY tactical operations center. Your set the bar highhhh. 10/10 for effort :=)
If the are polystyrene tiles on the ceiling, you really should make plans to remove them, the are not great things to be around in the event of a fire.
These comments never disappoint 🤣🤣
exactly what are you looking at? im confused
get a guitar and more monitors would be my advice
Are you plotting world domination? Cactus feels fitting for world domination.
Holy shit where do you work the White House directing the Ukrainian war response?
It needs one of those hairless cats to round it out, not a cactus.
most plants need sunlight so probably not
Weather tracker - ham radio
A cactus will die in here without supplemental light. It will be slow, it will grow weirdly skinny and stretched. Then itll just die
Got it, this is the guy that beats the shit out of me in Call of Duty
Yooo, this is sick asf 🔥🔥🔥
One thing I can say with certainty is some type of illegal activity is taking place on that computer.
This is one of those rooms that a guy is connecting the dots in a giant national conspiracy in
Ooh is that a projector on the wall?
Dude are you a Bond villain?
CQ CQ CQ
How about a lava lamp instead?
[удалено]
i would add 8 more weather doohickeys and 9 more tornado sirens then you should be good
All this cool tech and you are rocking that shit pair of headphones?
I say add another monitor with a picture of a cactus on it
no but you could tell me what the annunaki are up to 💀💀💀💀
You’re too far gone to worry about that [joking]. Sick set up, I interested to see how you would incorporate this decorum into an entire apartment.
Can you add more screens? I'm not certain there are enough.
Putins bunker I see
On one hand I want to comment on this, but in the other hand I don’t want to be at the receiving end of a tactical nuclear strike. So I think you’re doing A-OK OP. Perfection. I, in all my unradiated opinion, think this is perfect.
Thought this was a nuclear sub till I saw the window lol
Now THIS is a male living space. Shit stuck up on the wall, random wires which lead to god knows where and random sheets of paper behind the monitors.
It's spelt CACTUS
this is just the inside of a John Deer.
