Morning After-Action Report: Good visit with client. Despite one-star review on Yahoo!, Otay Mesa Detention Center staff extremely professional and pleasant and facilities better than average for secure detention facilities. Front sally port enclosure has pleasant view and prompt steel reinforced doors. IHOP proximate. Allows laptops. Possible my review influenced by ability to leave.
A sci-fi/fantasy convention in Poland wants to hold a #solarpunk edition this year, but there's a problem:
There are almost no Solarpunk stories published in Poland.
They would like to give the participants a PDF / booklet with a few introductory stories, whether translated or in English.
We already have 2:
Jerri Jerreat's "Rules for a Civilization"
T.X. Watson's "Boston Hearth Project"
Could you recommend any other short stories which can be a good intro?
W sumie pomalutku będę przypominał i spamował ;) że 15 maja w "Proximie" gramy z basnią koncert jako support The Mission. Fun fact: "Jest to nowa data wydarzenia pierwotnie planowanego w dniach 7-8 kwietnia 2020 i dalej przełożonego na 29.03.2021 a następnie na 28.03.2022". Mamy nadzieję, że teraz już się uda, bo to nasz ostatni występ ever xd

I have an immediate opening for a sysadmin in an OT (industrial) environment. Primary responsibilities are further rollout of our monitoring system, administration of networks and servers, and security ops. Experience with Linux, Python, Ansible, bash scripting desired; tolerance of windows. Open source mindset is a must.
Contract is local so must be willing to relocate to Germany (Düsseldorf area). We provide relocation assistance, also for non-EU citizens. DM for details. #getfedihired
A neighbour asked me how to safely dispose of her old #mercury #thermometer. I expressed my sadness that it was broken. She said it wasn't, but she heard that mercury is toxic. Our old mercury thermometer broke some two years ago. No containment breach, so I didn't even have to get powdered sulfur to neutralize it, and I didn't get to play with those amazing blobs, like I used to as a child. Anyway, we now have a perfectly working, precise thermometer that doesn't need batteries. Being ill is now much easier.
Amazing Uranus with its rings photographed by the infrared camera of the #JamesWebb telescope. The polar cap and clouds are clearly visible in the photo. But it is, of course, the rings captured with such accuracy that are the highlight of this photo. #BeautyofSciencd Photo: NASA/JamesWeb

A black widow just crawled out of the old brocade switch that I'm disassembling. Is that what y'all mean by "physical network security"? #neteng #NetEngChic
Asked for examples of sexual harassment at law schools, ChatGPT named a GW law prof accused of touching a student on a class trip to Alaska, citing a 2018 Washington Post story.
The law prof is real. The rest was made up.

I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
