Seems to be a hard working web developer, surely he can pay his rent

No doubt! I should be thankful!
His pest removal services are worth nothing? You’re already bartering.
Shoot! I had completely forgotten about that! Well, I’m convinced. They can stay rent free! :D
By avoiding being a capitalist landlord, you have become a feudalist landlord.
Except this is entirely on the spider’s terms. Land is given but there’s no quota, no tax. The spider may come and go as he pleases and only needs to catch enough pests to feed himself.
Looks like you found yourself a network debugger
I was going to say web admin but yours is good too.
OKAY. I thought all the funny responses were already exhausted xD <3
Came here to say this. Thank you for making my job easier!
You’ve considered a capitalist solution, but have you considered
Restorative justice: the spider is a trespasser, but will likely not find enough prey to survive. Capture the spider and relocate it to a suitable habitat where it can thrive. Check on it occasionally to ensure it is doing well
Libertarian anarchism: leave it be. It will die, survive, or thrive on its own terms
Authoritarianism: tell the spider if it doesn’t remove itself it will be arrested, start ordering it to get on the ground, fire 13 rounds at it, preferably missing all shots but hitting a nearby toddler. Institute martial law against the “foreign threat”, citing the recent death of a toddler
SirSamuel, you enlightened bastard! You don’t know how much I needed this laugh.
Also, I decided to go the pre-Marxist socialist route: the spider is allowed to stay and to contribute according to its abilities and shall be compensated according to its contributions in the pest elimination field.
impose rent?
but…
it’s already working for you, setting up traps for flies.
bloody capitalists… always short-sightedly, myopically, trying to maximise wealth extraction.
It gets to keep 25% of the bugs he catches. You get to eat the other 75%.
Any changes to the web will void it’s deposit and you get to eat 500 of it’s bugs to repair any damage.
Utilities are not included. There will be a 5 bug charge for each droplet of water it drinks from the faucet. Even though it lives near WiFi, there is a hookup fee and monthly cost of 25 bugs.
If it is late on monthly bug payments for more that 1-week. You get to eat it’s web and all the bugs. The spider will be taken outside on a paper towel or in a cup and left on the nearest leaf.
Implement those and you’ll eat like a king!
I died xD
But…
I’m affraid he’ll try to circumvent my espionage with some spidey encryption… No idea how to counter that. :/
Threaten it to call immigration if it doesn’t pay up.
That’s… low. Even for me. xD
Been thinking of hosting a webcrawler myself.
Sweet! Let me know when your Codeberg page is up. Meanwhile, are you leaning in any particular direction?
Its already a work in place of rent situation. I have tenants with similar contract in my kitchen window, my shower ceiling, the storage/work room window, and the one that doesn’t follow the rules in the front entrance arch who is likely to be evicted.
I see. But, all in all, a quite decent customer/tenant base! :D
Keeping the computer bugs at bay
True. Fully automated out of the box too! Like, no scripting, no broken config files, whathaveyou.
She’s just trying to crawl the web!
I’m afraid of what she might scrape while crawling.
Wow, nice rack!!!
Thanks 🍈🍈
I actually did a little more in depth boasting here a month or two ago.
They’re already working hard ensuring your local network web is free from bugs.
True. I guess I can show it some leniency.
am i crazy or is there no spider in this photo??
No, you are not crazy. Spider web is all there is. - akunohana 2026
What do you mean? It is already working hard to get rid of all the flies in there.
You sound more like a capitalist CEO. Are you going to take its healthcare away as well?
