The mottled sea hare is a sea slug. It feeds on grasses, algae, etc. it’s very hard to tell but this is the front, if you will. There are two tentacles on the front that it uses to eat with. It has “wings” that it uses to swim with. I’ve gone snorkeling in some of the back bays and come across groups of these, it’s really cool to watch them sort of float/swim/glide from plant to plant. They even release an ink of sorts when disturbed, it’s red-purple and they get it from the red algae they consume. Humans can pick them up carefully, but keep your pets clear, they are extremely toxic to dogs. Even just sniffing/licking can be very dangerous.

This one got washed up on the shore, so I scooped it up and tried to put it back in the water but once something like this gets into the breakers it’s pretty hard to keep it from coming back, I need a kayak to get past the waves really. It will end up right back here again unfortunately.

I’m going beachcombing again today and plan to take a Cambro container w me in case I see another one, I can put it in a quieter part of the surf with better success hopefully. I’ll post more photos if I see one.

I post a lot here, and just want to make sure I’m not spamming y’all’s feeds, btw. If I am let me know and I’ll tone it down. I try to only do 3-4 of them to keep it reasonable but I have enough photos from my visits to really wreck some feeds. Sorry if I am.

They're really getting desperate.

People have always been trying to find ways around the paywall. Turns out I was able to download my library app (LibrariesNI, I don't know if other UK libraries have the same benefits, but I assume they would) somehow dug out my old childhood library card details (I had it saved on Google Drive because of school I guess from when I was a kid?). Anyway I logged on, it prompted me to download an app called "Libby" which then offers 30 day access to pressreader which seems to be infinitely renewable.. at least I hope it is

Anyway, thought you should know

Long Claw Hermit crab. These tiny little guys only get about an inch long. Their right claw is a bit longer than the left, which they use to block the shell opening against predators. This one was plodding along the waters edge when I found it. It is living in a Cancellate Whelk shell.

Atomic Arch is a major AUR supply-chain attack (over 1.5K packages affected as of now) where attackers hijacked orphaned Arch packages and used malicious install hooks to pull npm payloads that executed a Linux ELF infostealer. It targeted developer secrets like SSH keys, GitHub/npm tokens, browser sessions, Docker/Vault credentials, and chat app data, while also using an eBPF rootkit to hide itself when run as root.

Hi guys, I need some help with my printer, an Epson Ecotank ET-7750. I installed printer support during the installation, both normal CPUS and the HP stuff. But my printer isn't recognised by the system automatically. If I try to add it with the tools in KDE Plasma or CPUS, it doesn't recognise the driver correctly, it always wants to make it into a dot matrix printer. If I give it the commands to print, it does print when I set it as a dot matrix printer. But the bitmap is always a garbled mess. Basically it says in plain text "bitmap start" and then prints out meaningless symbols as if you were to take a picture and load it into a text editor. I came from PopOS 22.4 LTS and then I installed cachy this year. The printer did work perfectly with PopOS and they also use cups for printing. Am I missing a package? Can you guys help me please?
