In honor of the #ScandinavianFestival here in our little town, I have added a pair of Norse gnomes to keep the porch dragons company. This one is Hamar with Phillip the porch dragon. His twin is Ragnar and he stands next to George. Yes, I named them. Deal with it. 😁 #dragons #gnomes

There would be *a lot* to say about the #LittlePeople, or #HiddenPeople!¹
Each country has several beliefs, sometimes very different one from each other, but this is one of those that can be found in many places, with different names.
Probably, the most famous version is the #Irish one, the Danann², or Danaan. In this #mythology, we can find many stories about several characters who twisted their destiny with the mortals' ones.
Similarly, a less noble version of a similar concept is from #England: they are often called pixies, or #fairies. This is a general term to indicate a universe of extremely diverse creatures, it depends very much on the region: they can be more helpful (as the Brownie³ from #Scotland), or even extremely dangerous (like the Cu Sith⁴, a ghostly dog from the Highlands).
Also, in all places, stories have been… Christianized, in the last centuries. For example, in #Iceland, it was said that the Hidden People were the children of Adam and Eve, who lied to God when He asked if she had any children. Since she was ashamed the babies weren't washed (baptized) yet, she lied, and the children escaped to a lake. From then, they lived in pools of water or in rocks… like #dwarves.
In fact, #gnomes, dwarves, #elves, and similar beings are pretty much all derived from the concept of Hidden People: some beings we can't properly see, but they are real indeed — we can *feel* it. And they have a huge power that should not be underestimated.

But among all those programs, “tool-boxes”, Pods and SDK; do you know what takes the most cpu and memory on my system?
#msteams the communication tools I’m required to use for my job… and it’s full of bugs. I really don’t like it…
