🥁 Did you know a baby gorilla’s gentle chest pats are the first steps toward one of the forest’s most powerful signals?

As adults, male gorillas produce chest beats that can travel over half a mile. Research shows these drumming patterns encode body size and vary between individuals, carrying presence through the forest canopy.

🌿 Every beat tells a story.

Veterinarian shares 7 signs a cat loves you, even if it seems like they couldn't care less

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.upworthy.com/7-signs-a-cat-loves-you-ex1

I wonder if it makes sense to approach job search through hobbies and side activities rather than just by past employment history.

In my free time, I do #microbiology. I have a #biolab in the cellar with petri dishes and microscopes and all. I ferment #olives which grow in my tree and make pickles out of them, I make two kinds of #sourdough bread from a culture I extracted from quince fruit peels from my own tree, one wheat and one #rye.

I do #mycology. I have some 2,000 photos of wild #mushrooms in my Facebook photo albums.

I do a lot of software-defined radio, I have more #antennas than I care to count, and also more #SDR modules than I care to count. I stream radio data directly to my own #ElasticSearch which I can visualize in different ways in Kibana.

I do home automation, and the house has countless sensors and cameras. I use #HomeAssistant for this, with lots of modules I have implemented myself, for example for scraping data from my Huawei solar panels and graphing their historical data.

I have a home #Kubernetes cluster with many nodes and several public-facing services with some 99.9% uptime like a local Mastodon instance and also a #Matrix instance, in addition to lots of local services.

I am a data archivist and I have lots of stuff backed up locally if the internet goes down like it did during the notorious #apagon in Spain.

I play strategy games in Playstation, some of my current favorite games are #Stellaris and #Tropico6. I just like resource optimization over time.

I grow vegetables and some fruit trees. Trying to get really hot chilis growing here as they aren't readily available in stores. I have eaten the One Chip Challenge without even wincing a bit. I am a #ChiliHead.

I administrate all sorts of online communities and web pages. I read a lot of books and whenever I get into a new domain, I tend to read several definitive reference books of the topic from cover to cover. For example I now know more about #cancer biology than I ever thought I would.

I used to take a lot of #Coursera courses, also in non-technical topics such as #virology, #BrainPhysiology, #AnimalBehavior and such.

We have 3 cats, 2 siamese and 1 rescued as a kitten from the neighboring empty plot where he was born.

Ask me anything about these things!

If you need someone like this in your team to build great things, working remotely from Spain, let's chat!
