“For Ever” 💘 ❌❌❌

This artwork marked the wall at the back of “Café Soundgarden”, a bar on Marnixstraat, that opened in the early “90s. The name comes from the well known American ‘grunge’ band “Soundgarden”. The live music and DJ nights are focusing on underground and indie scenes. 🎸 🎶

The bar is known for its canal-side terrace, and graffiti-covered walls. It is an independent bar that supports local bands. It’s one of the few spots in central Amsterdam that still shows the DIY spirit of the 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣0️⃣s scene.

Did you ever want a computer mouse that respects your #RightToRepair? A mouse that didn't force you to buy a new one, just because a switch failed?

Meet Ploopy: ploopy.co/mouse/

A fully open source, open hardware, repairable, #DYI friendly, #sustainability friendly, printable computer mouse made by 2 guys in Canada, that costs up to CAD$ 140, roughly 90 €.

Meet its authors:

@pronk

But this highlights a sad truth: these two guys in a first world country can send you a fully working mouse with so many good things and without the #enshittification for the same price as multinational megacorpos that manufacture cheaply in Asia, even though most likely, the cost-per-unit is at least an order of magnitude higher for Plooply than for the shitty-build mice in the market.

Had a lovely visit with my cousin this morning in his nursing home, then got home and finished my morning farm chores. Some lunch, then I'm going to go drop the gas tank on my wheelchair van to fix the vent hose, that after inspection inside with a camera, is totally pinched off! #family #DYI

Электронные песочные часы с Алиэкспресс

На алиэкспресс можно приобрести конструктор песочных часов, который собирается в течении одного вечера. Для управления светодиодами используется микроконтроллер STC15W204S с прошивкой, исходный код которой не предоставляется продавцами конструктора . В интернете несколько энтузиастов выложили прошивки и описание алгоритмов их работы. Но посмотрев исходный код, я понял, что можно попытаться сделать лучше. Насколько получилось лучше, чем у предшественников? Судить читателям.

Ça y est, l'album PIERRE de mon groupe Kickban est dispo en numérique sur toutes les plateformes !

J'ai fait une page regroupant tous les liens + les clips : kickban.fr/linktree-pierre/

Dans les grandes lignes : c'est du #pop #punk (donc du #rock avec du gros son et de jolies mélodies), on a des paroles en français plutôt funs et blindées de références à l'informatique, le web, les jeux vidéo, les séries, films... Bref des trucs de #geeks

Ça représente beaucoup de travail avec peu de moyens, entièrement #dyi ! Je suis super fier et content du résultat. N'hésitez pas à y jeter une oreille, et si vous aimez, à partager à fond ! 🙏

Managed to assemble my first #Gotek / CF-card combo. The 3D print could have been nicer, but I consider this a prototype. An excellent option for those with limited drive bays, who prefer easy CF card access. I plan to build a couple more, preferably in more suitable color to go in my #Commodore 386sx-16 and my #IBM #Aptiva desktop.

Hi there, I have a little project that I’m not sure how to tackle. I have ideas but the proof of concept would take a long time. Can the Fediverse help?

Here is the problem I’d like to solve:

My cat, Vanille, has a heart condition. She’s fine with regular medication but her continued well-being also involves me knowing when she is unwell and reacting fast. This is done through monitoring how fast she is breathing.

Apparently there is no better way than her RPM (respirations per minute), as funny as this reads…

Of course I can do this the old-fashioned way but she’s a busy cat, she doesn’t stay in place for long, and counting her RPM absolutely requires:

  • her being deep asleep
  • me being already in her vicinity
  • me not waking her up as I prepare the timer on my phone
  • her not waking up for at least a full minute while I count, occasionally with several recounts

So I have a low success rate, it takes a lot of time and I’d rather spend this time enjoying her company than stressing over her health.

Hence my little project. Can #dyi #electronics help solve this?

My naive idea was to add sensors near her favorite places, perhaps infrared cameras

If I were to setup a #DYI #NAS server in 2025, what should it be? I've got an HP Proliant N40L G7 with 5 drives (a mix of 750 GB and 1 TB ones) that used to run #Gentoo and had the drives in #RAID10 over #LVM volumes. This worked, but was quite a faff to manage.

What's the modern equivalent? I need it to run docker containers and serve files over LAN, that's it.
