That janitor just goes from building to building helping people. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/equati... PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
10-panel SMBC comic update. All the panels are dialogue-less. Two researchers are writing equations on a chalkboard. A janitor watches them from afar. The researchers leave as the janitor is still mopping the floor. The janitor walks up to the chalkboard and writes on it with purpose, admires what he wrote, and leave late in the evening. The two researchers return at dawn, and are shocked by what is written on the blackboard. Over their half-erased equations, the text "ChatGPT, do a breakthru, no mistakes, thankx."

I recently built a custom @kiwixoffline.bsky.social hotspot using a Raspberry Pi 5 and a 3d-printed case. When powered on, it creates its own WiFi network that ~12 devices can connect to simultaneously, to freely browse offline copies of Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, iFixit guides, and much more.
Disassembled hotspot. Black, 3d-printed case and screws, a microSD card (1tb), and a Raspberry Pi 5.Assembled hotspot with USB power cable.

depths of wikipedia @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
something fun you can do on wikipedia without knowing a ton about editing is trimming down absurdly long “plot summary” sections to 400–700 words!!! here’s a big list of articles that need it
