Threaten it to call immigration if it doesn’t pay up.

Similar to “bug” you can establish “spider” as a new computer term for things that infest a running system. Then you do conference talks, write books about it and keep all the earnings you get from doing that. The spider can’t sue you for a share of that if it doesn’t also pay you rent.

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

He’s just trying to crawl the web!

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).

They’re already working hard ensuring your network is free from bugs.

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?

@Digit@lemmy.today 2026-09-12 10:07
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.

Spider notwithstanding, looks like you’ve made an excellent partial faraday cage for your WiFi 😂

@aarch0x40@piefed.social 2026-09-12 09:36
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!!

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

His pest removal services are worth nothing? You’re already bartering.

He gets to keep 25% of the bugs he catches. You get to eat the other 75%. Any changes to the web will void his deposit and you get to eat 500 of his bugs to repair any damage. Utilities are not included. There will be a 5 bug charge for each droplet of water he drinks from the faucet. Even though he lives near WiFi, there is a hookup fee and monthly cost of 25 bugs. Implement those and you’ll eat like a king!

Looks like you found yourself a network debugger

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 love this thread

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

@Malica@lemmy.zip 2026-09-13 02:40
I just love that you call it a network rack

@humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2026-09-13 02:48
First, do you have access to a spider sized pen that it could use to sing a contract?

You could collect the spider silk and weave a cape. Golden Spider Silk Cape
