I know a certain accounting firm that used a stack of 7 USB sticks to do daily backups.
Finally, one day I asked if they'd ever looked at those sticks to make sure their backups were valid.
They finally did, and they weren't - they had no backups. All of their sticks had corrupted, accepted writes and saved garbage - day after day after day.
CHECK your backups! Many USB sticks (not all!) are NOT what I'd call reliable.
On April 18 at least six police officers from the National Operations Department (NOA) of the Swedish Police visited the Mullvad VPN office in Gothenburg with a search warrant.
They left without taking anything and without any customer information.
This #Naturli #vegan #plantbased milk is amazing. I've gone from being the person who said, I could never be vegan because I must have cow milk in my tea to actively preferring a vegan substitute.
Remarkable (a shame it's twice the price of cow based milk!)

For #DarkSkyWeek, let's remember the importance of reducing light pollution to help ensure the survival of many amazing creatures!🐢

If you ever pull up OpenStreetMap and notice that it has stale/bad data for an area, I now have firsthand experience with the knowledge of at least two reasons why:
1. The community includes the sort of people who'd rather have an incorrect map than an organized queue of issues that need to be addressed while working through them—the type of person for whom a thousand tickets marked "resolved" without the underlying issue being actually resolved is preferable because it gives a clean dashboard.

Y'ALL. THERE *IS* #GOODNEWS.
"Some more good news from the United States. Voters in Wisconsin have won a major victory for reproductive rights, New Hampshire has stopped further restrictions on abortion access and instead passed legislation to protect it, Missouri is making period products free in schools, Maryland has strengthened transgender rights, Minnesota is making itself a safe refuge for transgender people, Kentucky just legalized cannabis...

Everyone who's ever said "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" is somebody who is trying to bully you into giving them the power to strip you of your dignity at a moment's notice.
On a whim, whenever it's convenient for them.
That's the fight. It's not about privacy, and never was. It's about about power.
Our #wetlands are drying out. Only a few days ago this meadow was partially covered with water. The white patches in the picture were green algae, growing in flooded spaces between clumps of tall grass.
A small dog for scale.
Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (also spelled #Polesie) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #dogs – #IdąPsięta.
