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.
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?

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
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.
