Thinking about
outdated robot, wearing a backpack with extra batteries and coprocessors to lower load on their systems
the extras probably more powerful than their actual hardware. To allow them to function better. More *being*
Well maintained.
Like, been watching videos of retrocomputers being expanded. Using a raspberry pi to expand an amiga, or an apple 2.
The expansion alone being more powerful in many ways than the original.
Perhaps some robot that has reached the end of possible expansion, architecture abandoned for others, memory and software tha makes them themselves not easily portable. Formats dying.
But still finding ways to *be*
My own fursoña is kinda close to that. But not quite, but it seems like a good concept to explore with another character.
re: vrchat photo, ec
I'm really happy I managed medium performance despite all of the physbones and features on this.
Still more to do, but this finally gives me the good brain juices when I use it, which is the most important part.

As the saying goes: feeling cute, might delete later.
(Finally stopped procrastinating enough to finish my custom. Model by me, wings by Zephyxus and Morghus.)

It's also probably not the work crew's fault, nor most of Comcast's. Specs and city plans can be inaccurate, underground lines can drift over time, and it's hard to get an accurate reading below concrete without, well, digging. I'm assuming they used their best judgment on this and only knew it was a problem after they struck the line.
Comcast probably had to haggle with the city to run a single line. Typically there's redundancy in these systems, so the fact there wasn't here is... a thing.
At 9PM yesterday, we lost home internet along with much of the greater Seattle area. Still out (I'm tethering over wireless). We figured it was probably a fiber cut, but not a whole lot of information was circulating about it.
Today we learned: at least three cities were disrupted by a single box in the middle of Renton:

Who would win: Comcast service for all of Seattle vs one shiny diggie boy.

I found this backup tape while sorting through boxes — the final resting place of Sound Bytes BBS.
Turns out I can still fire it up in DOSBox and browse through everything as a time capsule.
Though the farewell message suggests the BBS would return in summer of 1996, the world moved on quickly, and the BBS scene — as it was — disappeared just like *that*.
By the time 1996 did roll around, we were busy building our area's first dial-up ISP, and there was no turning back.

PSA, security disclosure: do not use Hive
Some reputable security researchers and SREs on birdsite are sharing that Hive has already had a major security breach and responded to private disclosure with public whataboutism instead of immediately patching:

Avoid, avoid avoid avoid with anything resembling sensitive data. This is about as big a red flag as they come.

The captain on a Star Trek show is what the show sees itself as and wants to be.
The main cast's engineer is what the show actually is.
