Indoctrinate the spider that it will catch many more bugs by using AI tools, and then let it pay.

I cannot be held responsible for when it eventually falls into spider AI psychosis.

Even more gain! Do you know what prozac does cost? Its family will need to pay the pharmacy bills if it doesn't want their loved one ending up homeless.

You're evil and I don't hate it.

Considering household insects like cockroaches often look for warm, dry locations to lay their oothecas (egg capsules), and have been known to get fried and damage equipment while doing so - I'd say you actually might have a useful symbiotic pal there, protecting your gear (do I see an MT-6000? Great gateway).

You're absolutely right! The spider stays!

The rack goes:
The ISP's ONT (in the hallway, not visible here) ---> a TP-link SG105E swtich:

  1. ---> a VPN router (RPi4 + OpenWRT + Mullvad) ---> an Asus RT-AX58U AX3000 router (in access point mode, 2.4GHz turned off) ---> most appliances at home
  2. ---> a plain router (RPi4 + OpenWRT) ---> an Asus RT-AX58U AX3000 version 2 router (in access point mode, 2.4GHz turned off) ---> Tor bridge (the white device in the picture, a RPi 5) + occasionally backup for internet access

You’re seriously considering charging the spider rent after he provides you an excellent web connection without asking you for so much as a dime?! How dare you, sir?! How very dare you!!

I have made a fool of myself. You are absolutely right! I'll do some ping, traceroute and nslookup and get back to you! :)
