Over the summer our 6 year old asked me to read to him from The Official Ubuntu Book (which I co-authored). On the page about the #Mycroft assistant device, I mentioned I had one. He was entranced.

Well, yes, I do. A Mark 1. It's been in my closet since I got it. It might be too old to run #OVOS. Or the hardware is dodgy. Maybe I should consider #HiveMind 🤔 Hey, someone upgraded it to use a RPi4.

What kind of hole am I digging for myself here?

Is there a moth identification expert out there? Spotted this beauty (sorry for blurry photos) at weekend on Samsø. Arter suggests Spilosoma urticae (hvid tiger spinder/ water ermine) but low confidence. I don't see fluffy white antennae on that one though. Any other suggestions? #hiveMind

EDIT: update, I think we have identified it as Euproctis Similis which may or may not be the same species as Sphrageidus similis. Known as Gulhale in Danish and Yellow-tail in English

I'm sketching out a new work based on this bridge (see photo) I'm not sure about the crop - 7x5 or 2x1. So I'm asking #hivemind #KindCritique #AskingArtists to suggest a preference (see poll in comments).
I think the 7x5 crop will be more trees focussed whereas the long format makes more of the bridge itself.
