[57north-discuss] Open Tuesday 21st December 2021
Hello Hackers, I plan to be in the hackerspace tonight trying to get one of those multidimensional printers to create some shapes for me. I guess I'll be in from about 7. - Tom -- Now begins the important COVID information transmission, please pay attention and be sure to comply in the space: We are participating in the Scottish Government's contact tracing programme. You will find purple posters at the entrance to the space and around the space that contain QR codes. Please scan the QR code and provide your contact details. If you are unable to scan a QR code, there is a link to type into your browser. If you cannot use the link, ask someone else to check in for you and provide them with your email address and phone number. Please note that contact tracing is a requirement of participating in an Open Tuesday in person, and is not negotiable. If you do not provide tracing details you will be asked to leave. As we emerge from this global disaster, some will understandably be cautious about being in new spaces. Please respect people's boundaries by maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask as you move around the space. If you are sat down, you can take off your mask to have easier access to your face if needed for eating or drinking. Use common sense and remember this is a shared space. As this event is open to the public, the wearing of a face covering while "not seated, eating or drinking" is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT. If you are in early, open windows to get air flowing through the space. It could be a good idea to bring a jumper or something as the space could be a little cooler than you might expect because of this. DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE MAN WATCHING US HE HAS A LIST HE IS ONLY CHECKING IT ONCE DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Ideally both sides of boards. It is hard to get part numbers to show in pictures so writing them down while the board is open can help. Some times they are really hard to read, so a photo with light coming at a particular angle can help and sometimes you have to try a range. I think this board is quite large, I would suggest one front and back and then the closest shots you can manage of all chips on the board. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

If you can get a u-boot prompt then you can probably dump the flash. From u-boot, I don't see the normal 'press any key to interrupt boot' message so you might be out of luck. If you can share internals photos and a firmware image then we might be able to manually flash any spi eeproms.

I would say for any idea we try it once, but give it attnetion and announcements, from the film night it was obvious that people don't know when it is or what is planned. I think we have to accept that we managed to trick people into remembering the friday mumbles and let them be what they are now. I do think adding an extra 'hackerspace' thing one week night a month will be fine.

[57north-discuss] Hackerspace virtual activities
Hello Hackers, It pretty clear to me that this cycle of lock up lock down is going to continue for the next few years. Rather than dispersing slowly I think we should make a deliberate effort to do at least one thing each month. I don't know what we should do and I am not gong to organise all the things, I think you as a member are a great source for ideas. Lets share ideas for virtual things we can do and then figure out where there is weight of interest to organise around. Virtual meetings are going to be the mode, but we can arrange to have a variety of different topics activities and forms for them. Once we accept that we won't be in the space on Tuesdays we can start to figure out fun and crazy ideas to implement. I look forward to hearing your ideas and seeing what plans we can come up with to make them happen. -- This is of course on top of our twice weekly mumble calls that have been running without fail since March 2020. The next mumble call is tonight, you should join us. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Of the previous two items we have bought (hot air station and oscilloscope) we have frequently 'wanted' a usable scope, but been unable to access consistent access. The hot air station was a bit of whim of mine, but I have had great use out of the work one and it seemed like a good tool for us to own. Right now I think all of our radio curious members have a radio and a spare they could lend to someone interested/the space. I think this amount of money would be better directed to a more general fabrication tool, or hand/power tools than a specific item few people can use. This radio might be a better group purchase similar to how we bought the first two 3d printers. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

[57north-discuss] [REMOTE] Friday Mumble
Hello Hackers, Once again it is Friday, our favourite day of the week because we get to have the Friday mumble! There will probably be someone on the call from about 2000 so if you want to going us point your mumble client at mumble.milliways.info Today at 1800BST (1700UTC) I will be hosting the FreeBSD Foundations FreeBSD Friday stream. Doing stuff in the hackerspace is part of how I got my FreeBSD commit bit and so there should be a 57N shout out near the start. https://altelectron.org.uk/notice/9z0yhO9bjb2WDQAI8O https://live.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/freebsdfriday/ I have already had someone say they want one of these delicious looking raspberry pies, I don't think they could spot a scotch pie when there is distracting fruit on top. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Hello Hackers, Again it is Tuesday, the day that would be our open night, but the world got a bit sad and told us to stay home for a couple of months. Instead of meeting in person we have been having weekly chats via mumble. You can join us by acquiring a mumble client (available basically everywhere, but no RISCOS, sorry!) and pointing it at mumble.milliways.info If you have any trouble joining, audio trouble is the most common form, they jump into irc and we will guide you the best we can. Normally there are people around from about 2000. I plan to be on, but I also have a giant list to get through so I might vanish at any moment. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Hello Hackers, Once again it is Friday and so it is time for our weekly Friday day mumble call. If you wish to join us you will need to acquire a mumble client and point it at mumble.milliways.info If you need any help (and most of us do on our first time joining) jump into irc so we have a second channel to use to walk you through what to do. This weekend some of the radio weirdos are going to be in a field, you should join if you have any interest in radio or at a minimum ask them about it tonight on the mumble. I probably won't be around tonight and if I am it will be after 11. Will you be on? - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Hello Hackers, It is Tuesday again which means we will have our weekly Tuesday Night chatter. We do these using mumble, acquire a client (on every platform) and point it at mumble.milliways.info. There are normally people on the mumble from about 2000, if no one is around or if you are having bother generating responses try debugging in irc. I should be on, but maybe from an exciting out of the way location. It all depends if the radio is generous or miserly. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

We should be on from about 2000 Tonight for a change we are going to be trying to watch a film together. We are going to catch up on Zero Cool and see what he can get up to in a new town.

Hello Hackers, Have you got that Friday feeling? I don't, just a warmth in the back of my left hand that I think might be the first rsi tingles. Nevertheless, feelings or no, it being Friday means we MUST have our regular Friday night mumble. You can dial in by pointing your mumble client at mumble.milliways.info Come by and chat the best shit you have. If you've got a hardware or hacking or hardware hacking project you have been working on we would love to hear about it. Ideas and dreams are cool too, but solid work always wins out.

[57north-discuss] [REMOTE] Tuesday Mumble Call
Hello Hackers, Once again it is Tuesday and why the outside here thinks that means a cloud needed to land I will never no. No! Tuesdays mean the hackerspace comes together to burn as much time as possible talking about strange pointlessness. If that sounds exciting to you (and how could it not) then you should join us on mumble from about 2000. You can dial into the mumble, by pointing your client at mumble.milliways.info. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Hello Hackers, I hope you survived that storm, if you slept through the rain you missed out on a really impressive amount of wind and rain. Thankfully inspections do not show any additional flooding in the hackerspace and it is still the empty void we all hold close to our hearts. As it is Friday (how did that happen) we will be having a mumble call. The mumble calls are a voice chat using a piece of software called mumble. You can connect by configuring your mumble client to connect to mumble.milliways.info If you have trouble connecting or more likely getting your audio to not be awful it is best to also be in irc so we have a second channel for communication. I look forward to speaking to you strange nerds tonight, whether you are on the call every week or if you have finally summoned the courage to do voice comms. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Hello Hackers, Again, I find it to be Tuesday and while in the days of yore that would mean an open night in these times it means we jump into mumble and chat shit without any of that awkward eye contract we used to have to make. You can dial (well only if you have a dial connected to your computer that opens a mumble client) into the mumble by pointing your client at mumble.milliways.info. If that proves to be hard (and it frequently is) jump into irc so we will have an extra channel to help you debug. Tonight I thought it might be nice to talk about projects we have been working on or have thought of while enjoying the summer. If you have been up to something or want to try out an idea speak up and we will offer 'help'. - Tom ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Hello Hackers, Some of us plan to take advantage of our lovely car park on Saturday the 18th July 2020 to have a socially distanced BBQ. If you plan to come, we really do insist that you let us know. We need accurate numbers so we have a good idea of how strong our precautions need to be. The BBQ will be in the rear car park and I imagine people will start to show up mid afternoon. We do not plan to really use the hackerspace apart from its toilet facilities. The building currently has a 1-way system in place and all attendees will be required to follow it (up the front, doon the back). This BBQ will be a bring your own stuff event, things like: - a bbq - food - alcohol - shelter from the weather - ppe - banter The building and the hackerspace will have hand sanitiser, but bringing your own isn't an awful idea.

The £125 does about 5.5m of that. Thanks for the clafification. The mountain of crap from the mens shed hides a lot of the space we need to cover. I am told that they will start moving this (or next week), but they are also going to paint once then move has started (who knows why). Once they have moved it will be clearer how much space we need to cover. Shelves across the entire room is certainly overkill, but I think a first section of shelves is a great idea. > Robert > > > Robert McWilliam r...@allmail.netargh.technology > > What do you consider to be your median achievement? > > ___ > 57north-discuss mailing list > 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co > http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss -- - [tj] ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

- Forwarded message from Aaron Swartz Day - Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2019 23:22:44 + From: Aaron Swartz Day Cc: "aaronswartz...@protonmail.com" Subject: Aaron Swartz Day and International Hackathons! Dear Hackerspace Organizer: Pleased to meet you. I'm Lisa Rein, a co-founder of Creative Commons, where I worked with Aaron Swartz on its technical specification, back in 2002, when he was 15 years old. CC'd is Matt Arcidy, who is helping me get the word out to folks about this year's hackathon :-) I'm writing you on behalf of the Aaron Swartz Day & International Hackathon, which takes place every year on what would have been Aaron's birthday. I founded Aaron Swartz Day with Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, shortly after Aaron's death, in 2013. Every year, we gather to celebrate Aaron, educate the world about his projects that are still ongoing, such as SecureDrop and the Open Library, and participate in an international hackathon where folks can contribute directly to these projects and others. We were wondering if you would be interested in having a hackathon in your town, at your hackerspace. We can help you get speakers. For more information about organizing one of our hackathons, see our "Hackathons 101" page here: https://www.aaronswartzday.org/hackathons-101/ One thing we are trying to do this year is to try to get as many hackathons as possible going in the weeks leading up to our November 9th event. Let us know if you might be interested. We're happy to answer any questions you may have - and don't worry about taking up our time when you're not sure if you have an event space yet. It's a process :) ok! Thanks for considering having a hackathon in your town. :-) Yours truly, Lisa Rein and Matt Arcidy Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email. - End forwarded message - -- - [tj] ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss
