Some days we wake to find a silverfish (sølvkre) on our bathroom floor. Our neighbours have the same and asked the board if they could do something to get rid of them.

According to FHI they aren't really a problem unless it's out of control and they're eating your antique books and stamp collection.

They're cool little insects though. Fast movers, shiny silver, fluid movements.

An illustration of a silverfish. It's a wingless insect in a silvery light grey colour. Its abdomen tapers at the end, giving it a fish-like appearance.

Hota getting back to art! @ShindaHotaru@mastodon.art

It‘s that time of year again! Watch out for the little guys!

This image is a two-panel comic. It's in greyscale. In the left panel it shows two original characters, one of which is a human-like one with a pumpkin head wearing a shirt, pants and sneakers and carrying a backpack. They look at their companion, a simple shaped ghost, who makes big steps and watches closely where they are stepping. The pumpkin-head-person says,"You walk weird." And the ghost answers: "It's crowded." In the right panel you see a close up of the ghost foot as it tries to avoid stepping on ants, a snail and a ladybug. The snail says: "Thank you, Ghost!" The ants say "So kind" and "I know right?" The ladybug also thanks the ghost. Below the comic you can read: "Crowded sidewalk. Relatable Ghost by ShindaHotaru." and "more on apparentlyalive-designs.de"

Shit! I just realized the cause! Mounting microcontrollers that use the UF2 format for loading firmware.

I think there was a macOS bug a few years ago around this issue.

I user Raspberry Pi Pico boards at home and micro:bit boards at work. Both mount in the Finder.

The Finder got locked up and I was able to relaunch it only *after* I unplugged a Pico.

Well, now I know what to look for.

I really have a soft spot for my little beetle magnets. They remind me of Pikmins

Three different felt beetles, facing each other in a triangle formation, photographed on a black and wooden background with a few decorative plants and pieces of felt.
There is a long green and orange beetle, a round blue and orange one, and an oval pink and blue one (it has a bright green belly)

The image depicts a close-up view of a bee interacting with a honeycomb. The bee, characterized by its striped yellow and black body and transparent wings, is positioned on the honeycomb, which is filled with golden honey. The background is blurred, emphasizing the bee and the honeycomb, and creating a sense of depth. The lighting highlights the intricate details of the bee's body and the texture of the honeycomb. The overall composition focuses on the natural beauty and industriousness of bees in their environment.

The image depicts a group of bees congregated along the edge of a shallow, curved water dish. The bees are lined up in a row, seemingly drinking water. The water dish appears to be part of a birdbath or similar structure, with water gently flowing in the background. The scene is set outdoors, with greenery visible in the background, suggesting a garden or natural setting. The bees are focused on the water, indicating their need to hydrate.

Canon had a good app for Android called Camera Connect - to download images to the computer and connect to the camera. However, it was full of bugs, errors, slowness, imperfections, and insane battery consumption.

Today the app was updated, and I had a naive thought: "Updated, fixed, improved!" Sure. Now they have, in addition to everything that already didn't work, added mandatory login via CanonID. And registration is not possible - the page, probably written by the same clumsy development team, consistently goes to a 403 error.

I hate corporations.
