I think this was more furry art than I expected to see on a technical blog post.

See, a friend of mine suggested having some illustrations to go with the concepts to glue them in the mind of the reader. And since I have no artistic skills, I had to get them commissioned.
Since I grew up with Italian Disney comic books, an anthropomorphic yak sounded perfect, so I turned to a friend for suggestions on artists, and eventually contacted FurryViza (https://twitter.com/FurryViza).
I just gave her a prompt of what I had in mind and let her take it from there. I'm absolutely stunned by how it turned out!

You can tell that friend that it worked! They’re a great addition to the post.

To be fair, the domain is flameeyes.blog .
Also that joke about how downing a single plane on the way to a furry convention could cripple a countries IT capabilities :P

Not as unique as you might assume. https://soatok.blog/2022/02/09/using-rsa-securely-in-2022/
His technical blog posts are top notch mixed in with furry drawings and content galore. Definitely unexpected for every first time reader.
