Today’s project: an powered VOC sensor above my cat’s litter box, to try and detect when she’s pooped.

I love her, but she can be a smelly girl. If I can detect when she’s gone, I can automatically dispense some air freshener!

Hello! My name is JoAnna, I am a science writer (#scicomm) and science cartoonist (#sciart).

I cover a plethora of topics, including #space, #environment, #oceans, #animals, #earthscience and more.

I'm available for #commissions for pet portraits, illustrated figures for your #science paper or publication, or silly cartoons for your friends and loved ones.

Ya know, I don’t think I’ve EVER regretted doing my due diligence before sending a salty email.

Turns out my secondhand SAS drives aren’t busted — my RAID controller was just overheating with no top cover on the server chassis. Problem, uh, “solved”!

Starting my day off with a fun paper from University of -- feeling the pride! 🇧🇬

I have a lot of pride in my Bulgarian roots, and it makes me really happy to see some representation. And I have huge respect for places that don't have massive funding or resources, but make the science happen anyways.

(Disclaimer: My astrophysics days are behind me, so I can't critically evaluate the scientific content of the paper much)

Today’s project: I picked up a proper 12U cabinet, so I’ve been moving my server and from my IKEA Lack tables over to it.

Don’t have proper rails for the server because broke , but I’m test printing some brackets to mount it on. Not sure they’ll hold up its weight, TBD..

Also couldn’t resist setting up some LED lighting inside!

I'm in the Fediverse since 2019, but never did an #introduction so far:

I'm a #Linux #sysadmin, digital #forensics expert and #Debian developer. Programming in #Perl and #shell most time.

I insist on a #mechanicalkeyboard.

I like #Citroën #oldtimers (#2CV, #HY, #CX) and the #CityEL. I travel with #motorhome and #Brompton.

I'm going with #BikeToWork and like exotic #bicycle types: #foldingbike, #recumbent and #trike.

I am and always was a #nonsmoker. Have #asthma, though. I am #vaccinated.

So I was looking at the #smartplugs I have at home, and ended up down a spaghetti loop which ended up with #homeassistant feeding #grafana data which made a dashboard which shows the #energy consumption on each smart plug.

I know there are many different and probably better ways of doing this, I learned a few things though..

So… this is my #cat #introduction. You’ll be seeing a lot of her. :ablobcatheart:

She’s 16 1/2 years young - She’s half #MaineCoon so she’s always telling me stories and looking for snuggles. :blobCatComfy:

She’s a natural therapy cat and always finds me when I need her. #MentalHealth
#Cats #pets #MastoCats

Do you also have a pet that is your world? :ablobcatangel:

I feel like any enthusiast knows how much fun a good benchmarking sesh is!

In this blog post, I share some CPU from upgrading my quad-socket to 4x E7-4870s
