All we know about them is pure speculation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_and_Gleb). But I didn't have the time to go deep into their story – I was too busy dealing with calls from customers, most of them worried, a few angry. But Boris and Gleb, having been martyred together, according to the legend, gave the name to a town founded some 600 years after their death, Borisoglebsk. Russia had a military air base there, and for some obscure reason they gave the name Borisoglebsk to an electronic warfare system, Borisoglebsk-2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borisoglebsk-2). I wonder if there was a Borisoglebsk-1, but I have many calls to answer and no time to do research. 2/n
Since yesterday afternoon (UTC+01:00) many of our rural Internet customers started complaining about the quality of our service. Low transfer speeds, loss of connection. No fun for anyone in Eastern Poland who wasn't lucky enough to get fibre (surprisingly, fibre coverage in rural areas is pretty good compared to the US or UK – most of it was built with money from the European Union). But fibre can't reach everywhere, and this is where we come in. But the last 24 hours were hell, and we don't know when this will end, although we know the cause. Let's start the story with those two Russian saints from the 11th century, Boris and Gleb. 1/n
Environmental researchers gathering crucial data on hydrological conditions in the #wetlands.
The level of water on our #wetlands is still a bit low, but it's getting better. Unfortunately Vuko, the wetlands protector, is just a small dog and won't be able to do much when draining of those meadows starts in the spring. He's has great teeth, but they don't work on treads of heavy machines.
Zosia seems to like #wetlands. This miht not be apparent from this picture, but all the other were blurred.
Our last car went down. 1.5 km from the house. Oh, well, mud and water. You love them and you hate them when living in a bog.

Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (#Polesie in Polish) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #dogs (most of them rescue dogs) – #IdąPsięta.
#RuralBroadband provider by accident. Starting a small #LoRaWAN project to monitor our wetlands. Coding, mostly in #Python. Luddite.
#Atheist. I don't believe in #science – science is our defence against belief.
Fuck nazis.
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
