SRE and cultural anthropologist.
beating the drum to understand software and cloud infra as #sociotechnicalSystems. to do what actually works and matters.
I like smol individual electric mobility, large mass electric mobility (trains), porcelain, comics, weird bikes, bricolage, low carbon emission travel and food.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I just got this photo from my sister.
Adam found a half-melted vodka shot glass in one of the last pockets of ash.
Somebody drank from this shot glass before the War. Somebody laughed and cried over it.
Then the War happened, and this shot glass half-melted in the embers of Warsaw, burning during the Uprisings.
And today, almost 80 years later, it was found in the floor of my bathroom.

This is a tide driven mill in Hénan nearby Pont-Aven in Finistère in #Breizh from the 15th century.
When the water pushes out the dam, it drives a water wheel.
I took this video during my #tourDeNiu

one of the under-reported features of mastodon is the NOTE-option.
you can add a private, only visible to you (and people with database acess, I guess) note to every profile.
so imagine somebody is grinding your gears with a mansplainy response. you want to block/mute them. you can add a little note like "muted for being a kacknerd". So you'll remember.
you can, of course, also fill the notes with heart-emojis. but I'd suggest to send those emojis as a DM.

From my #tourDeNiu alongside the Meuse river in 2022
In the summer I did a tour from the #Netherlands through #Belgium and #France to #Breizh with a smol electric scooter and a tent. Using little roads and the #CampingMunicipal owned by the local government.
It was an experience in slow #lowCarbonTravel and I'll post pictures of it under from time to time #tourDeNiu
This is the patio of a very nice, friendly and cheap bar in Givet, France frequented by the locals and the tourists alike.
Für jedes freie kreative, schaffende Radikal, dass sich seine Community auf Twitter aufbauen konnte, bedeutet der Niedergang Twitters möglicherweise das Ende der Relevanz.
Es kann also sein, dass, je nachdem, was aus Twitter wird, wir eine Phase der Ent-Demokratisierung des Internets erleben.
Dass das bisher an einer einzigen Plattform hing, war ohnehin ein Problem. Es war, wie gesagt, nicht nachhaltig.
