Lata temu na Twitterze była ciekawa rozmowa o słowiańskich imionach dla piesków. Ciekaw jestem, czy od tego czasu coś się zmieniło. Znacie jakieś?

This stork lives in the largest nest in my area. He didn't build it himself – he inherited most of it. Some like living in huge homes built from sticks and shit by their ancestors. Enshittification is not unique to humans.

Found this weird plaster disk going through old junk and it brought memories of really bad times. I bought it over 20 years ago for something like a quarter of my monthly income, but my partner insisted. It was supposed to cure her cancer. Of course it didn't, but it gave her a bit hope. The things that helped were surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. She lived four or five years longer than the doctors initially expected. I was going to throw the disk out, but it turns out it helps to prevent diseases. We keep in on a small table on our porch. When we come home with #IdąPsięta, our dogs, from a walk through meadows and forests we sit at the table, smoke cigarettes, and pick ticks from the dogs. We put the ticks on the table and crush them with the disk. So it prevents boreliosis, babesiosis, and a number of other tick-carried diseases. A bit expensive device – we used cheap plastic lighter to crush ticks, but somehow this is more satisfying. And it's a good reminder – fuck quacks who make money on useless magical cures.

Our 1000 litre water tank holds water for gardening and power emergencies. It's also useful to put things on it. And its metal cage is often used for attaching things that go high up. That moose bone is very useful when you need something to jam the mast in a plastic pipe attached to the tank cage to keep the whole thing stable.

In order to put the gateway high up we needed a couple of things. A mast – no problem, there were 6m (about 20ft) of aluminium lying around in the garden for some reason. The hermetic box was a problem though. When you live in the forest of Eastern Poland you just don't walk into a store and buy what you need. You buy what they have. We needed a hermetic box for the Raspberry Pi. Our store had Barbie raspberry ice cream. A perfect fit.

A short thread about Barbie, drills, and #LoRaWAN. This is our basic drill with an attachment to make standard size holes in plastic. Today we decided to put the second LoRaWAN gateway up – signals from some sensors didn't get through when the gataway and the antenna lied on the dogs' favorite couch in our tiny house.

Testing a #LoRaWAN sensor in the surrounding forests. If you don't know why the cover is open, please don't ask. If you know why, please don't laugh.

Heavy undocumented traffic (ADS-B off) in the skies of #Polesia.

Cała piątka #IdąPsięta. Coraz rzadsze, bo jeden nie lubi już dłuższych spacerów.

Najwyższa półka #Polesia

Contrails in the skies above us have become very rare since the start of the war in 2022 as all civilian traffic was moved away from the border, so of course we'd like to know what was going on today. Nothing appeared on airplane tracking sites.

I wonder if they finally caught the wind of coal deposits just a few hundred metres below.
