The horns on my vehicle are larger than the horns on his vehicle,
Today, on my way to yet another #RuralBroadband installation. #Cows need good access to Internet too.
This is why we called off the #RuralBroadband installations we had planned for today. Climbing roofs in this weather is not a good idea.
Another #RuralBroadband installation. And we have a nice site for backup IPOAC just off the premises. We normally use pigeons, but if our customers managed to live here without Internet for 4,000 years, they'll be happy with a backup that works only in the summer. Standard #BirdMigration problems.
This is how today started – on me way to another #RuralBroadband installation, still a few hundred metres from home.
Heavy snow can break branches, and we want to keep those trees, as they shield us from the road. It's good to have a supply of 6 m (20 ft) aluminium masts which we normally use for our #RuralBroadband installations – they're great for removing some of that snow. The dogs have no idea what's going on, but enjoy it.
Had to call of today's #RuralBroadband installation. This means I could start the day with a glass of whisky, but I'd have to drive to the village store to get, and I probably wouldn't make it – our only 4WD car is being repaired, so we might be cut off from civilization for a few days. The joys of living in the middle of nowhere.
Living with a pack of dogs, #IdąPsięta, and running our small #RuralBroadband service in a #TinyHouse in the forest, where everything but the bathroom is an open space, means that all of our few hundred customers have our dogs' hair on their contracts.
Mixing Python code with politics, vulgarity
I'm writing code to grab and decode data from the devices I monitor to solve problems with our small #RuralBroadband operation. I decided to use the sequence '***** ***' as a section separator within text files containing the captured data. You can read more about this sequence here https://notesfrompoland.com/2020/10/30/the-symbols-of-polands-abortion-protests-explained/ but it basically means "fuck the ruling_party". It also means "fuck the makers of the equipment we use", as they did not provide an easy way to get this data.
Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (also spelled #Polesie) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #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.
My account on Twitter is still up, for good reasons. https://twitter.com/szescstopni
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
Zdolny, ale leniwy.
