Just a reminder that #IdąPsięta are moving to another instance:

#IdąPsięta are slowly moving to new doghouses – physically and virtually. There's a good chance our new house will be finished in two or three months. And because of some weird issues on this instance they're now mostly here:

Because of technical circumstances #IdąPsięta are slowly moving to a new doghouse.

#IdąPsięta, my most faithful followers.

#IdąPsięta aren't sure if they want to walk out of the shade of that huge linden tree.

Now that I've lied down in this cool water for a while I'll run home and jump into my people's bed.

Masza photobombing Vuko.

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.

Heat.

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.

#IdąPsięta on a levee. There's no water in the ditch, just a bit of mud. We don't want them in pur bed tonight.

#Polesia

Bruno is very visible, almost as if he got repeatedly boosted.

#IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia #wetlands

After the rain it was cool enough for Bruno to come with us for a walk, so here are all five #IdąPsięta together, bravely trotting through the forests of #Polesia

Today was very hot. It got a bit cooler just before the storm so #IdąPsięta and I went on a short walk near the house. Fortunately a tractor passed here recently, otherwise walking in the tall grass would not have been possible.

#Polesia #wetlands

At last some water in this desert. But it's flowing out – it will get worse.

#IdąPsięta #wetlands #Polesia

#IdąPsięta not really helping with testing #LoRaWAN in the #wetland forests of #Polesia.

In the tall grass of a #wetland meadow a tractor is a dog's best friend.
