Apparently it's National Fox Day! Here's the @hacksterio.bsky.social tute for my #fennec #fox companion bot, F3NR1R (also in my pfp) ^_^

This fall, I'm working to bring 1-2 #robots (back) to solid functionality; been building them since 2018, but they all broke down during years of burnout. Onward!
