A high pressure weather system just passed over California, and I was thinking that scattered shower about an hour or so before sunset is the perfect conditions to create rainbows. I also discovered a bunch of CalFire and PG&E webcams on top of mountains around here, and my conjecture was correct:

Apparently it's National Fox Day! Here's the @hacksterio.bsky.social tute for my #fennec #fox companion bot, F3NR1R (also in my pfp) ^_^ This fall, I'm working to bring 1-2 #robots (back) to solid functionality; been building them since 2018, but they all broke down during years of burnout. Onward!

for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com

"The whole β€œOh no, our models went rogue” thing … When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy?" www.wired.com/story/one-of...
