Another chemtrail in our sky. I really like the term chemtrail, although formally they're called contrails. They're very chemical indeed. Lots of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO, very, very dangerous) surrounded by concentrated nitrogen with some oxygen and argon. 1/If you want to know more about DHMO, here's a good link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_parody

What's at the end of a chemtrail? Precious metal, of course. Usually aluminium is not considered a precious metal, but when it's packed in the form of an E3-A Sentry it really is. Were just 30 kilometres away from Russia's ally, Belarus. Those planes are here to detect threats.

I wouldn't be posting this picture had the airplane not been sending and ADS-B signal. Sometimes they don't send them, but this is not a secret mission, NATO wants Russia to see them. I just wish Russia finally lost and retreated. And the airplanes would stop scaring our dogs.

The bike paths of #Polesia are demanding. And the bogs along the way are perfect for disposing of those who didn't manage to get through.#PolesianLies

Had to move Barbie to a new house. I'd take the gateway down every time it was supposed to rain, which wasn't too often. But, hopefully, this will now change.I put it up almost two months ago, here's the story: https://qoto.org/@szescstopni/112407837893877604#LoRaWAN #Polesia

The box on top spent the last few weeks high up in the sun, holding the #LoRaWAN gateway. The box on the bottom was just taken out of the freezer. Beware of the sun.

I thought of giving all our gateways names form the Barbieverse. The one on top of the house was supposed to be Ken, but it has some serious problems and skips a lot of data frames, so I'll call it Skipper.

If you bought a piece of #Polesia for your garden, please send it back. Our wetlands are not happy.

This tree is not dead yet – this is the tree of death. Raptors sit on the dead branches with a clear view of the surrounding fields full of rodents.#Polesia

I just had my XKCD-806 moment. There's a company from which I've already bought some equipment for our #LoRaWAN project in my #wetlands. But this time I had some questions and called them. I pressed the number for tech support and heard that I need to use the form on their website and got disconnected. Why bother with giving a number that won't get me to talk with a real person? I called again, but this time selected payments. Of course someone picked up. No, they don't have a line to tech people, they don't know about xkcd or shibboleet. Please use the form on our website. I asked if this approach is why they named their company Botland. No answer. But they promised someone will call in two hours. https://xkcd.com/806/

Someone called. A real tech person. I know people on help desks shouldn't laugh when talking to customers, but they did when I said that I'll take their stuff and if all goes south I'll have very little e-waste to dispose because the devices are really small.

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.

Potrzebuję miernik zuzucia prądu przez urządzenia, taki do kontaktu. Ktoś może coś polecić? Widzę całą masę po 30-40 PLN na Allegro i nie wiem czy warto.

It's not easy to buy a washing machine without Wi-Fi. But it's even harder to find one with RS-232.

Just put one #LoRaWAN temperature sensor in the freezer to check if it's running. The freezer, not the sensor. RSSI went down. but SNR increased. I don't understand freezers.

I see one of our #LoRaWAN devices reporting -22.1°C and have a mindfuck and then remember I moved it from the greenhouse where it's 32°C to the freezer.In other news – whoever made this site is a genius: https://symbol.wtf/#
