The image features a ginger and white cat sitting on a brown surface, possibly a couch or a blanket. The cat has a neutral expression with its ears perked up, and its eyes are looking directly at the camera. The background is softly blurred, with a hint of a window and light coming through, suggesting an indoor setting. Overlaid on the image is text in a bold, white font with a black outline, which reads: "I am exactly where I want to be in life. At home, avoiding people." The text is positioned at the top and bottom of the image, with the top text larger and centered, while the bottom text is smaller and also centered.

The image is a three-panel comic strip titled "TWONKS." In the first panel, a woman with brown hair, wearing a red top, is speaking to a man with a bald head, wearing a blue top. She says, "Tomorrow could you make me breakfast in bed?" The man responds with "OK," and they both smile. The second panel shows the same characters with the woman smiling and the man looking content. The third panel depicts the man in bed, cooking on a portable stove, while the woman sits cross-armed, looking displeased. The bed has a blue cover, and there is a nightstand with a lamp and a kettle beside it. The background is a solid blue color, and the overall style is simple and cartoonish.

View a Beehive Up Close with this 3D Printed Hive
Bees are incredible insects that live and die for their hive, producing rich honey in complicated hive structures. The problem is as the average beekeeper, you wouldn’t see much of these intricate structures without disturbing the hive. So why not 3D print an observation hive? With [Teddy Hatcher]’s 3D printing creativity, that is exactly what he did.
Hexagonal sections allow for viewing of entire panels of hexagonal cells, growing new workers, and storing the rich syrup we all enjoy. Each module has two cell panels, giving depth to the hive for heat/humidity gradients. The rear of a module has a plywood backing and an acrylic front for ample viewing. [Teddy] uses three modules plus a Flow Hive for a single colony, enough room for more bees than we here at Hackaday would ever consider letting in the front door.
As with many 3D printed projects involving food or animals, the question remains about health down the line. Plastic can bio-accumulate in hives, which is a valid concern for anyone wanting to add the honey to their morning coffee. On the other hand, the printed plastic is not what honey is added to, nor what the actual cell panels are made from. When considering the collected honey, this is collected from the connected Flow Hive rather than anything directly in contact with 3D printed plastic.
Beehives might not always need a fancy 3D printed enclosure; the standard wooden crates seem to work just fine for most, but there’s a time and place for some bio-ingenuity. Conditions in a hive might vary creating problems for your honey production, so you better check out this monitoring system dedicated to just that!

The image depicts a person standing on a set of stairs in a futuristic setting. The individual is dressed in a traditional Jedi robe, consisting of a white tunic with a brown cloak draped over the shoulders. The robe is cinched at the waist with a belt. The person is positioned centrally, with their hands by their sides, and is looking directly at the camera. The background features a sleek, modern interior with a curved ceiling and wall-mounted lights. The stairs are illuminated by small lights embedded in the steps, creating a gradient effect from the bottom to the top. The overall color tone of the image is sepia, giving it a warm, vintage feel.

The referrer helps website administrators understand where web traffic is coming from. It's useful because it allows them to discover online resources.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •Will this enable analysts to group all Mastodon domains together as ’Mastodon’ traffic source, or as social network ‘Mastodon’? Or will every server still show up as its own unique traffic source?
At work we are looking at ways to make Mastodon visible, but its distributed nature makes that hard right now.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •Interesting. I copied a link to forward to somebody and amidst all the gobbledygook after the "?" In the URL, I noticed that it said the source was mastodon. I thought to myself that this must be something new, and indeed it is!
I am guessing that means either my server or the one that the link was hosted on has implemented this. I think it's great. It will show publishers and any site the actual reach (for better or worse, I guess) they are getting on here.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •It would be really nice if it were possible to extend this so that it could set something like '?fediverse=mastodon' or similar in the referrer URL. That would make it easy for analytics tools to search for '?fediverse=' to find all referrals from any ActivityPub software and for '?fediverse=mastodon' to find Mastodon specifically.
Currently, each Mastodon instance will show up as its own thing and someone looking through the analytics needs to track which domains are running Mastodon (or other kinds of Fediverse software) and correlate them. Meanwhile, Twitter, Facebook, BlueSky, and so on each show up as a single referrer.
