The Moving Mud Spring. This is another geothermal feature. This spontaneously opened up near the highway a few years ago and kept moving and growing despite all attempts to stop it. They had to move both the highway and the railroad tracks. It's nice to sea Earth occasionally lay waste to man's hubris.

@MLE_online Like a real life Donut County.

I always meet people that tell me they don’t know where to ride their bikes, I made some cards to giveaway showing my favourite places in #ottbike

business cards showing multiple bike paths around Ottawa.

The card says: “want to ride your bike… but don’t know where? OttawaByBike.ca maps, tips, and more!

I'm going to try to reverse engineer this mystery video frame grabber card!

A nondescript-looking ISA card, except it has two video connectors on the bracket along with 3 trimmer potentiometers

The Canon Cat credits easter egg.

Mino "I didn't touch those bits" Taoyama.

@vxo Yeah, and software is way more efficient at managing sockets nowadays. And as you say, if you have money you can just buy massive amounts of IP space to request from.

#Pride

The image features a collection of nine black crows, each holding a different flag in their beaks. The flags represent various LGBTQ+ identities and pride symbols, including the transgender pride flag, the intersex pride flag, and the rainbow flag. The crows are depicted in various poses, some standing, some flying, and some with wings spread wide.

do the internet a favor: Reverse Slow Loris your unfriendly local AI crawler today

serve it pages of Markov backwash that load at 150 bytes/sec or something... just fast enough that the clients don't timeout... but slow enough to waste their time spectacularly

@vxo Already on it 🫡

(And remember to limit the connection rate too or they’ll just parallelize the slow loads)
