Hello y’all People of the Fediverse old and new! ✨
I have tooted a lot lately, YET,
I have neglected tooting an #introduction all this time, so here it is:
Hi! I’m Em!
I’m an Accidental Tooter Tutor, but very happy to be 🐘✨
When I don’t give Mastodon tips to newcomers moving away from a Twittertatastrophy, I give tiny #privacy tips, big privacy tips, and big privacy opinions 🔒
I talk about code, security, and human rights 💻
I like encryption, but end-to-end encryption even more. If I write crypto here, I mean cryptography.
I make bad puns and laugh a lot at them in secret. I laugh a lot at your puns too!
I like weird electronic with flashy LED lights. Right to Repair on everything. DIY anything. Big fan of all #FOSS
I boost photos of mosstodon, cause we all need it 🌱✨
Rainbows, cats, and cute emojis make me happy. I also like kind humans, and open software
Diversity is key. Representation matters. Cooperation over competition. Listening is vital. Kindness is essential
Despite all the bad going on, I still believe together we can change the World and make it much better and fairer for everyone ✊
@skanman breakfast of champions!!
@skanman I guess research physicists eat to live, not live to eat... thanks for the follow back, I’m expecting to see your dinner 😂
Most people that I meet on my photography adventures don't know that "taking pictures for Wikipedia" is a thing. So, when I'm out shooting, I often engage in conversations about how Wikipedia needs more photos. That's what happened this morning, when I took this image for the article "Greater white-fronted goose":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_white-fronted_goose
Please consider sharing your photos with a global audience through #Wikipedia !

@kitty_kelliher 🤣 Mastodon isn’t ready for us yet
@skanman I was actually thinking - you don’t see many here do you?!
@kitty_kelliher ha yes! That is definitely mining the same vein from the same folk roots. All the talk of keeping your garden fair and lusty sailors stealing your thyme. Very laden with metaphor.
EirGrid: "We welcome today the signing of key financial and technical agreements for the #CelticInterconnector project. This is a significant milestone and an 'anchor' in the future of the Ireland-France energy relationship.
The Celtic Interconnector is a key part of EirGrid’s strategic goal to transform Ireland’s power system and increase the use of renewable electricity. Interconnection with France makes the power system more resilient." 🇮🇪🤝🇫🇷 #energy #EnergySecurity

@kitty_kelliher cue for a song. It’s hard to find recordings of this but I thought this one to be an original twist.

Friday night: The Strand, Falcarragh. Saturday night: Teac Jack’s, Glassagh. Could get used to this #kidsAway 😊
Eigg isn't connected to the UK national grid. Instead we generate 90% to 95% of our electricity from wind, sun, & water (hydro). Community-owned Eigg Electric was switched on in 2008. Islanders are trained and employed to manage it. Electricity costs 28p per unit/kWh. Before 2008 each property had its own diesel generator. Now we have 24kW of wind, 110kW of hydro, 170kW of solar PV, storage batteries, and a back up generator. Next challenge is #netzero #renewables #eigg http://isleofeigg.org/eigg-electric/
@ianRobinson I think I shall always keep it going for the sake of strong friendships there but just whittle away more screen time over here 👈
@kitty_kelliher So great to get a sixer all clear!
