Norwegian border town that for decades built its identity on east-west cross-border contacts and travel, #Kirkenes:
“Russia has become an authoritarian regime. Any contact on a municipal level is not possible anymore,” says Magnus Mæland, mayor of Sør-Varanger to the Barents Observer.
“It’s not in my interest to have this kind of contact with Russia, because it’s a security threat to the world.”

With #Hurtigruten 🇳🇴 over the northernmost section of the Norwegian mail ship route, from #Kirkenes to #Tromsø. I’m travelling on the #Nordnorge, a lovely ship built in the 1990s. Fascinating scenery here, way north of the Artic Circle, with temperatures just, just above freezing point.

Most Western governments do not appear to think of themselves as being at war with Russia. Russia, however, is at war with the West. “That’s for sure—we are saying that openly,” the Russian representative to the United Nations recently declared.
[..] The air-traffic controller sighed. “We’re back to the Cold War,” he said. “And I think it’s going to be like this for the rest of my life.”

"Kill your darlings" sier de, og jaggu endte jeg opp med å skrive ei heil bok om samisk #historie uten å få plass til å nevne samiske #brettspill én eneste gang. Prøver å gjøre opp for det ved å delta på flere spillbegivenheter utover høsten.
Først ut er et kurs om sáhkkuens historie og design i #Kirkenes /Girkonjárga 26.09 (18:00, UiT)
...og 21.10 går den årvisse sáhkku-cuppen i Oslo/ Oslove av stabelen på Samisk Hus, meld deg på mens det ennå er plass

Leaving #Norway from the east en route to #Finland is one of the oddities of #geography: although one moves west, the timezone changes backwards from UTC-0200 to UTC-0300.
Surprisingly, both #Kirkenes and #Vardø are located east of the entirety of Finland and east of Saint Petersburg. Which makes the name "Norway" a bit of an understatement as on top of being "the way to the north" it should also be considered "the way to the east".

I dag hadde vi klimaaktivister i byen som blokkerte gata midt i sentrum.😀

The first test at moderate temperatures of -13°C of the solar powered Li-Ion Capacitor charger (rev 2) from Jasper Sikken @jrsikken achieved good results. The last winters we had several days with less than -30°C but this winter has been much warmer so far. The next step is to build a LoRaWan sensor and test it year-round. We have 2 month without direct sun, embedded in 2 month mostly cloud covered. If it works here it will work everywhere!

Har fått nå et brukt pyranometer fra ebay for å måle global solinnstrålingen. Den bruker en termisk sensor og har et flat spektrum fra 285 til 3000 nm. Den omfatter altså hele sollys spektret.
En solsensor med en fotodiode ville derimot være mye billigere, men har bare et begrenset spektrum. Disse blir vanligvis kalibrert til bruk i sentral Europa og har dermed stor avvik nord for polarsirkelen.
Da er det bare å vente i 4 uker til sola endelig kommer tilbake! -
Jeg tenker det er på tide at vi endrer loven slik at det skal svært mye til for at noen kan straffes for å for ulempe politiet ved bruk av ord eller håndbevegelser.
Slik det er nå misbrukes dette straffebudet av politiet og det er ikke bra for respekten og tillitten vi må ha.
