This one is Bruno's. The Polish name for his breed is Polski Owczarek Nizinny (Polish Lowland Sheepdog), PON. Our Little Pony.
Some of #IdąPsięta have their songs. Moro's is the Ballad Of Tolek Banan. If you're not Polish you've probably never heard it.
I've been living in the #wetlands of #Polesia permanently for the past eight years and this is the first time a saw a beaver in the wild (that small bump in the water). When I was taking the photograph I didn't know it was there, I just wanted an image of the small dam under construction. My wife saw that beaver moments later. I tried to take a photograph but the settings were wrong so nothjng came out.
It took us a while to figure out what the fuck is going in this picture, and we might be wrong. #Polesia will always surprise you.
Struggling with very bloated js codec for a new #LoRaWAN sensor. There must be a more simple way to do this. This means I'll have to learn js. Aaargh.
Finally the #LoRaWAN sensors from Botland arrived. Thanks to @piotrsikora I managed to activate the first – a GPS tracker that's supposed to go on one of the #IdąPsięta for testing. Getting a SenseCap AppKey sucks, and I couldn't find a way to get it, Piotr did. You have to curl sensecap )(the device maker) with your deveui and device code and then you get the appkey. Motherfuckers.
The package from Botland included a "personal" letter to fe from some scammy outfit "Mennica Numizmaty" (Numismatics Mint) which gives me a ¾K€ if I buy some gold-plated patriotic junk from them for 1K€. The language in the letter is typical for 419 scams, and of course there's a picture of the Pope, the only Pope Poles accept, JP2, on the leaflet stuck in the envelope. They used the wrong color profile, though, and there is definitely not enough yellow (if you want to know what that means I'll try to explain)
I wondered why should Botland, a company selling #IoT devices, do something so ugly and evil. This might be a case of nominative determinism, once they've taken that path they have no choice but to go deeper. Or maybe their cousin is working in this "mint" and thought it was a great idea to offer this, because a lot of people buy motion sensors, intrusion detection systems, and location tracker to put on their trophy wives. I understand. Such people are likely to buy shit that makes them feel special (yes, I will get a free watch, wallet, and pen if I take their offer).
All I need is sensors to monitor wetlands – temperature, humidity, soil moisture, water levels – and see how badly my bog bog is being fucked up, so that, basing on data, we can start fighting to save and restore them.
We need our wetlands. You need our wetlands, even if you don't know that.

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 haven't deleted my account on Twitter, for good reasons, but I'm not using it anymore. https://twitter.com/szescstopni
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
