Happy to say that my Finnish language article on Renoise v3.5 features, with a brief mention of Paketti, is published on the newest issue of Skrolli-lehti, 01.2026.

That’s the magazine launched by viznut, whom I’ve always admired.
I envy the people in Finland who get to read a magazine like that.
@esaruoho Congratulations!

I imagine that your experience and memories of actively hosting and managing a BBS server at home—one dedicated to the demoscene and tracker files shared by all sorts of people—and of building and energizing that community would complement that magazine quite well.
Esa also ran a Bulletin Board System, Cloudcity, from 1992 to 2000 – utilizing HectoBBS (1992), SuperBBS (1992–1994) and PCBoard (1994–2000) BBS Software.
If they haven’t interviewed you yet, you might want to reach out to them with a proposal—they might be interested.
I imagine that this field is likely to offer a wealth of topics and anecdotes related to digital archaeology in Finland—subjects that would be of interest to the magazine’s readers from the perspective of contemporary computing culture.
