@freemo Since the update I get multiple end of voting notifications for each poll I have voted in (e.g. just got 10 notifications in a row for https://mastodon.nz/@pezmico/112028203100230568). It doesn't bother me so far, but I figure it might be a symptom of something with other annoying consequences.

incidentally, the two are related; back in late 1800s, when people wanted to manufacture things like typewriters and sewing machines, they didn't have an entire industrial base that would do precision things out of metal on contract available for them
they could, however, hire a gun manufacturer, which is someone who makes precision things out of metal on contract
TIL: Kanton Zürich apparently has detectors near a few #hiking trails to measure how dry/wet the ground is, so you can plan ahead of time for the right shoes and equipment!

I'm looking for a new job!
👷♀️ I can build software for your business (mainly in Rust, but I pick up new things quickly), or help you make sense of your existing software. I’m familiar with networking (I run AS213185 to experiment with BGP, OSPF and such), railway open data, and a bit of embedded stuff too (schematic/PCB design in KiCad, embedded Rust).
✨ Recently, I've tracked London Underground trains (and given a talk about it), reverse-engineered UK rail tickets, and built some hardware to make LED panels work. I have a website at eta.st with more stuff, too!
🌐 I'm looking for hybrid jobs (not fully remote) in the UK, but I could be tempted away to the Netherlands or Germany for the right role. I'm also open to contracting and part-time projects!
✉️ Send me an email at job@eta.st if you're interested (or want my CV)
Boosts appreciated! ❤️ #getfedihired
I wonder how much time will pass until I get the rest of the setup for problem 17 from https://www.iypt.org/problems/problems-iypt-2024/
Some guys reviving a scanning electron microscope from early 90s that was being scrapped: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1OWIgy9S0sOFNL3VpJq7UkqUR78M9EEU (commentary in Polish)
And there's one more eruption near Grindavik (this time closer to the town).

> The use of the system resembled its name, which had been intended to be spurious.
I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).
