I have to pause my transmission of toots.

The battery level has dropped below 60%

The device I'm currently on is also Hotspotting the internet connection to three other devices.

Hotspotting is very costly for the battery

.

A Smart router has to be enabled for the connection to be distributed to the other clients. The routing consists of the gateway which talks to the 4G ISP and a switch which talks to the devices. A process which maintains the tokens for the min LAN that's created also needs to run. Both physical devices are connected as a transparent Bridge.

The whole process just takes a lot from the device. I normally have a separate mobile Wi-Fi router to do the work. However this ISP gave me more bandwidth, much more bandwidth, than the other.
Only SIM cards of the other ISP work in dedicated Wi-Fi routers. The current ISP explicity prohibits this by preventing the sim card to login, when the device is detected.

LiPO batteries also have another weakness, if someone is unfortunate and the BMS on the battery and in the device fails, that LiPO battery will explode in their hands, when it reaches 70° c and it stays there for long enough. The victim will not even hear explosion it will just be like getting shot in the chest Center Mass with a firearm of grand caliber.

I shall be back

A Horrific Fire

I was going to my schatje.

It was somewhere in the early morning 02:30hrs

As I was approaching the neighborhood where she lives, the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up; that indicated Mortal Danger. This was at a distance of about 7 minutes from destination.

When I was 2 minutes out I could see the fire, massive flames, meters high in the street where my schatje lives. When I reached there the scene was much more horrific than I captured in the two photographs that I shared.

Multiple buildings were ablaze.

A hellish scenario

It was the other side of where she lives. The fire was so intense that we could not go closer than across the street, which was about 12 meters. One Of The Women immediately ran towards me; she only had a pangi on, her top was open. She give me her phone begging me to call the fire department.

My report was short

• four buildings a blaze
• fire jumping towards others
• name of the street
• estimated time of Fire

I appended my name and my ID number at the end of the call and drop the line.

The fire department called back in eight seconds, they shot a couple of questions which I answered methodically and fast; they dropped the line

The fire department is normally eight minutes out.

They arrived in six with the small fire engines. The others arrived two minutes afterwards. The work was executed methodically. The power company was mobilized and they came along with the fire department cutting off all the power to the neighborhood which was in danger.

It took less than ninety seconds to have the first fire hoses deployed and to start with methodically isolating the fire from the other buildings since what was burning, was already lost.
The Last Trucks which arrived were The Water Reserve Trucks; Massive Trucks with GIANT tanks.

It took the fire department more than fourty five minutes to have the fires isolated so that other buildings wouldn't catch a blaze. It took the buildings about an hour extra to totally burn out. The fire was declared under control, a couple of hours after my phone call.

The fire experience has an aftertaste. I shall talk about that in another toot

There was a time when I published stuff on dev.to as you can see at the link here

It was a time when Twitter was still normal and I used my one of my Twitter accounts to get into dev.to

Time has changed a lot.
I just came in from a dev.to login. I wanted to see how bad it was now on Twitter.

The user interface has become foreign The icons don't tell you a lot about what happens there.

Strange posts are on your feed. Subjects you would never interact with.

Everything is dark gloomy, frightening just like a scene in a Stephen King novel.

However Stephen King makes Beautiful Stories Twitter is just horror for being horrific.

I closed the tab fast

I went back to dev.to so I could check out the articles I've written there many years ago.

Twitter is now worse than you think stay away is my advice.
