Looks like you found yourself a network debugger
Came here to say this. Thank you for making my job easier!
I was going to say web admin but yours is good too.
OKAY. I thought all the funny responses were already exhausted xD <3
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.
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.
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
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.
Threaten it to call immigration if it doesn’t pay up.
That’s… low. Even for me. xD
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?
Spider notwithstanding, looks like you’ve made an excellent partial faraday cage for your WiFi 😂
Well, the wavelength of 5GHz is
56 cm. The smaller gaps between the bars on the individual “shelves” are 2.6 cm and the bigger gaps are 14 cm. While the smaller gaps could disrupt the waves, the bigger gaps, at which the antennas are pointed, do not.
You should write a tiny letter
You’ve considered a capitalist solution, but have you considered
Restorative justice: the spider is a trespasser, but will likely not find enough prey to survive. Capture the spider and relocate it to a suitable habitat where it can thrive. Check on it occasionally to ensure it is doing well
Libertarian anarchism: leave it be. It will die, survive, or thrive on its own terms
Authoritarianism: tell the spider if it doesn’t remove itself it will be arrested, start ordering it to get on the ground, fire 13 rounds at it, preferably missing all shots but hitting a nearby toddler. Institute martial law against the “foreign threat”, citing the recent death of a toddler
House spiders generally don’t survive outdoors. They’re cave-dwelling species and they seek out indoor spaces by instinct.
This is a very good point. In rebuttal
A. I did say “a suitable habitat”
B. I was very clearly shitposting
Sure, though my comment wasn’t strictly a rebuttal to yours. It was as much an FYI to anyone who stumbled across our comments and has relocated spiders outside out of a desire to save them.
I’m glad you posted your original comment. I tend to be pretty tongue-in-cheek, both online and IRL. Sorry if it comes off as abrasive, in my mind it’s all in good fun. Love you and hope you have a fantastic day <3
No worries! People can be both amused and informed!
This little heartfelt, wholesome back and forth between you two was exactly the medicine that I needed to calm my nerves after I unintentionally started what seems to have become the shitstorm of the ages over at linux@lemmy.ml . May all the spiders of the universe have mercy on my soul.
If you’d like more wholesomeness and spiders, check out Travis McEnery’s The Spiders in Your House series. He goes really in depth on tons of spider science, all about common (and uncommon) house spider species! Both wholesome and informative stuff!
SirSamuel, you enlightened bastard! You don’t know how much I needed this laugh.
Also, I decided to go the pre-Marxist socialist route: the spider is allowed to stay and to contribute according to its abilities and shall be compensated according to its contributions in the pest elimination field.
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
No doubt! I should be thankful!
am i crazy or is there no spider in this photo??
No, you are not crazy. Spider web is all there is. - akunohana 2026
They’re already working hard ensuring your local network web is free from bugs.
True. I guess I can show it some leniency.
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?
Keeping the computer bugs at bay
True. Fully automated out of the box too! Like, no scripting, no broken config files, whathaveyou.
You could collect the spider silk and weave a cape. Golden Spider Silk Cape
I’m not well enough versed in the ways of textiles and such. But if the silk conducts current, maybe I could create some sort of signal carrying wires? And if they exceed CAT8 speeds, I’ll trademark them.
well, did it work? :P
First, do you have access to a spider sized pen that it could use to sing a contract?
Hm… I have some ideas, but not ready to use pens: I’ll dip my smallest screws - M.2 securing screws - in ink and hand it over to them as a “house” warming gift?
You have already realized that deception will be key. Bravo. Make sure you photograph the spider close to the paragraph that says “I have read and understood this entire agreement.” This will be key to future enforcement actions.
