Seems to be a hard working web developer, surely he can pay his rent

Developing the web and catching bugs, sounds like they’re earning their keep

printf("%s", name); ( akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

No doubt! I should be thankful!

Looks like you found yourself a network debugger

OKAY. I thought all the funny responses were already exhausted xD <3

Threaten it to call immigration if it doesn’t pay up.

printf("%s", name); ( akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

That’s… low. Even for me. xD

impose rent?

but…

it’s already working for you, setting up traps for flies.

bloody capitalists… always short-sightedly, myopically, trying to maximise wealth extraction.

True. Fully automated out of the box too! Like, no scripting, no broken config files, whathaveyou.

Been thinking of hosting a webcrawler myself.

Sweet! Let me know when your Codeberg page is up. Meanwhile, are you leaning in any particular direction?

Pup Biru ( pupbiru@aussie.zone ) · 28 days ago

rent? it’s keeping your house pest free… you owe it money

(also obligatory that’s not a spider THIS is a spider from australia)

palordrolap ( palordrolap@fedia.io ) · 28 days ago

The problem with the implicit size comparison in the Crocodile Dundee reference is that Australian spider size is inversely proportional to their actual danger.

I went here to tempt fate. Jesus Christ. If it’s any one of these living in my access point, I don’t know… Would a Norwegian reboot kill it?

printf("%s", name); ( akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

True… I don’t know how to pay her though. PayPal? Ko-Fi?

Pup Biru ( pupbiru@aussie.zone ) · 28 days ago

ko-fly preferable to ko-squito… they’re both pests but those fees really sting

printf("%s", name); ( akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

Okay okay OKAY. 🤣

Monument ( Monument@piefed.world ) · 28 days ago

She’s just trying to crawl the web!

printf("%s", name); ( akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

I’m afraid of what she might scrape while crawling.

blinfabian ( blinfabian@feddit.nl ) · 28 days ago

am i crazy or is there no spider in this photo??

printf("%s", name); ( akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

No, you are not crazy. Spider web is all there is. - akunohana 2026

What do you mean? It is already working hard to get rid of all the flies in there.

You sound more like a capitalist CEO. Are you going to take its healthcare away as well?

Wow, nice rack!!!

Thanks 🍈🍈

I actually did a little more in depth boasting here a month or two ago.

TWeaK ( TWeaK@lemmy.today ) · 28 days ago

They’re already working hard ensuring your local network web is free from bugs.

printf("%s", name); ( akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

True. I guess I can show it some leniency.

eta ( eta@feddit.org ) · 28 days ago

Similar to “bug” you can establish “spider” as a new computer term for things that infest a running system. Then you do conference talks, write books about it and keep all the earnings you get from doing that. The spider can’t sue you for a share of that if it doesn’t also pay you rent.

anton ( anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

A spider is something you release into your system to catch bugs.
For a small fee of 1000$/h I will tell your company how.

printf("%s", name); ( akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone ) · 28 days ago

Yeah I’m with the other commenter on this one. Spiders are deployed against bugs. I will leave her alone to dwell.

But seriously though… WHERE IS SHE?! xD

Me too. I have no earthly idea on how it “blew up” like this. 🤣🩷

Malica ( Malica@lemmy.zip ) · 27 days ago

I just love that you call it a network rack
