hiiele?

On a serious note, while the eID/digital gov system is great and all it does have some jankiness. The address search system everyone uses has been a PITA for a while and the tax system still keels over for a day or so when the possibility of submitting returns opens. Then we had the case of one dude scraping several hundred thousand ID card pictures [0].

Also the broadband part is so-so. Estonian internet is notoriously expensive and slow compared to our near peers [1].

Hiiele!

X-Tee, the protocol that allows information sharing between goverment systems, is also a horrible pice of XML and SOAP with some crypto sprinkled on it.

I live bits that give rare insights into other cultures.

The description of the appropriate reddit page google-translates to "let's meet at the fire".

Is that correct?

More like "let's meet at the sacred forest" (to celebrate/rejoice).

"Hiiele" is the allative form of "hiis" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiis_(sacred_site) )

When finland is mentioned on the internet then people post "torilla tavataan" - "lets meet at the market!!". So we estonians started saying "hiiele!" - lets meet.. at the sacred forest on the same occasion.
