Another iteration of the #Meshtastic #LoRa gateway living permanently on my balcony:

RAK WisBlock base (RAK19007)
LoRa module (RAK4631)
Ethernet module (RAK13800)
PoE module (RAK19018)
8 dBi LoRa antenna
IP67 electric box

With the previous 5 dBi antenna I had successful links well over 30 km, let’s see how this one works 🤞

Об этом со ссылкой на запись в реестре наследственных дел (РНД) сообщил бывший вице-президент «ЮКОСа» Леонид Невзлин.

«Наверное, трудно поверить, но я искренне сочувствую отцу, потерявшему ребенка. Как сочувствую маме Алексея Навального. Как сочувствовал последние годы маме Бори Немцова, покинувшей нас в этом месяце. Мои соболезнования семье Сечиных, вынужденной скрывать свое горе», — написал Невзлин.

Согласно реестру, Иван Игоревич Сечин умер 5 февраля в возрасте 35 лет. Ранее о его смерти и ее причинах публично не сообщалось.

«Медиазона», проверив запись в РНД, убедилась, что она оформлена на Ивана Игоревича Сечина 1989 года рождения, который жил в Москве по адресу Шведский тупик, дом 3. В 2013 году РБК называло это здание домом для «соратников Путина». По информации РБК, там жил в том числе и Игорь Сечин.

Anyone complaining about #windmills has never visited a #coal power plant

I watched last year’s #Poland truckers protests with great interest since early 2023. I followed arguments of both Poland and #Ukraine, even though the latter largely ignored the protests until November 2023 when they turned into blockade.

The truckers’ protest was suspended in January, but we now have a second iteration of farmers’ protest with ongoing border blockade. The first one actually preceded the truckers’ protest in 2023, but was noticed by even less parties than the truckers’ one.

One qualitative difference to the current protest I’ve noticed was that the truckers generally avoided anti-Ukrainian slurs and often highlighted that they don’t intend to disrupt Ukraine’s war effort and they’re forced to protest by dire economy.

Right now we have a full spectrum of vicious anti-Ukrainian slurs, hate speech and flood of very aggressive fakes alleging various forms of filth accompanying Ukrainian food products. This new wave emerged very quickly and is accompanied by massive bot campaigns on commercial social media.

While I believe the original farmers’ and truckers’ protests weren’t directly inspired by Moscow, I have a very strong feeling that this one actually is. Russia noted a divisive topic that emerged organically and this time decided to fully invest its highly efficient information warfare to capitalize on it 🤷

Another day of having nothing planned. If I'm not needed anywhere, I kind of just sit there.

The surgery was a success. You are now a cat.

Inaccurate. Not #washable

🇷🇺 Navalny’s death, which comes nearly two years to the day after Russia invaded Ukraine and ahead of sham elections in March, is a reminder that Putin’s regime is waging a war on two fronts — externally against Ukrainian citizens and internally against its own.

"People upgrade their phones every 3 years"
Even if, theoretically, right now I had cash to spare I see zero incentive to get a newer phone.

The only reason I see for "upgrading phone every 3 years" is planned obsolesce — not really my case as I barely touch my phone and it doesn't even have prominent scratches, the battery has just started degrading, but it still at 95% of its original capacity, and this phone was futureproof to begin with — I have Poco X3 Pro, the last column, 256 Gb storage 8 Gb RAM version.
Zero new features in 2 years, all specs at ~ the same!

And I'm not even comparing to newer Poco X Pro models, as you can see in the second table, X5 lost the SD card slot and did NOT get spacier internal storage options, X6 Pro did get more storage, but lost the headphone jack. In anything, they only got worse!

And flagships… they have nicer screens. They have better camera, usually some "AI" shit — completely irrelevant to me. But they never have headphone jack and they cost five times more — what the fuck for?

After being with Mozilla for a little over 5 years, I've been laid off today, alongside a group of some of my favorite people. So, I'm on the job market! I've got ~8 years #iOS, #Swift, and #ObjC under my belt, working on everything from libraries all the way through full user-facing features. So, I'm #opentowork. Remote (US), working out of the Chicagoland area. Boosts would be much appreciated!

The BBC is extending their Mastodon instance hosting trial, citing the first 6 months has been a positive experience.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-extending-our-mastodon-social-media-trial

Hi everyone, I’m looking for work! I have ~7.5 years experience working on iOS apps, both Objective-C and modern Swift.

I’m based in the Netherlands and would be looking for a fully-remote position.

Boosts appreciated!

Everyone wants to help clean the heat pump filters...for some reason.

And I only have one cat. Even neighbor cat came by to help.

#Caturday #NotMyCat #HeatPump

Actively working and looking for a new gig since my workplace is making another major push away from hybrid work to in-office. Figured I’d drop a casual post to see if anyone comes across something! Pref fully remote.

Software dev for about 6 years, mostly web applications, always full-stack. Primarily work with c# and dotnet, but at home I primarily use C/Python for desktop applications + game dev engine tinkering.

I don’t need much more than a shell, text editor, and browser. I get up and running with new languages and frameworks quickly, so switching around doesn't bother me.

I reference WCAG often, use NVDA/Lighthouse to assess my application's usability, and try to share what I know with my peers at appropriate times.

Boosts are welcome!
