454) Invisibot. The culmination of our research into transparent components. We haven't had chance to figure out a use for it yet because we keep losing it. #SmallRobotsRemastered

another regular reminder: if your organization sends out phishing email tests on the regular - document the sending domain. dump it into virustotal. click on the details tab. Look at the SSL certificate details. More than half the time, they use a wildcard SSL cert. Congratulations, you just mapped out most of their phishing infrastructure because they re-use the same wildcard SSL cert fuckin' everywhere.

Search on the web is now just utterly broken. You can barely find anything using any of the search engines. We need a new player to come in and shake the whole industry up.

I'm so tired. People, I am not interested in reading *blogs* generated with claude, gemini or chatgpt. No, not even ones proofread by AI. Do it yourself. I do not wish to even accidentally click on "one-shotted" dummy projects. Don't show me your AI-generated analysis of anything. Above all, I do not wish to see images/artwork someone prompt created.

I value real content, with all its good and bad quirks, from actual human beings.

Somebody please normalize auto-tagging of AI generated content across all formats - text, images and code so I can blanket ban them from my personal computer.

This is a plead for help I never thought I'll have to make.

How have I lived to the Year of our Lord 2026 without having seen this meme before now?

well ok, but me complaining about Al is also here to stay

453) Balletbot. If you aren't able to access ballet lessons for your child, this graceful little robot can give them a solid grounding. #SmallRobotsRemastered

More "Laundry Animal Art" by Helga Stentzel, who I've posted before under the #WomensArt hashtag

But I especially love the dinosaur ... ! 🦕

448) Bouncycastlebot. If you're having a party outdoors, maybe you'll be lucky enough to see this robot hovering through the air, looking for a place to set down for a few hours before it goes off on its merry way again... #SmallRobotsRemastered

I am driving doesn't mean I am the designated driver because I am not drinking. I will leave when I want not when you have had your fill of drink. Show a bit of respect or make your own transport arrangements.

Had the pleasure of working on this commission of Hattie and Hugo. Hattie sadly passed away last week and I was asked to produce a commemerative print with her brother by her side

It seems the time has come, huh. Is anyone looking for a senior SRE with deep Linux expertise and experience with infrastructure at massive scales (ex-Meta, ex-Apple)? UK, remote (happy to visit the office anywhere in the UK every month or so). I prefer working on the automation, CI/CD, load testing, or low level debugging. However, I will not work on anything related to generative AI.
