Resistance is futile!

In other news, we now have a Borg-Cube inspired lampshade at #cccac

#StarTrek

#FediKleinAnzeigen I got a box of used PMTs. They were removed from a decommissioned detector.
I do not have matching bases.

If you want to build something with one or more of them, give me a ping. I want to give them away for free[1] to people that make cool stuff.

Since I will be at #GPN and #EMFCamp we can do handover on those events. Or you come to #CCCAC to pick them up.

[1] If you can afford it and want to give some money, please donate that to our hackerspace.

if you heard me shilling Hannover's CCCH last night, I did mean it as an invitation :) happy to show you around and host couchsurfers

especially if you'll bring me the stickers I left behind! <3

Do you remember the Wii Nunchucks? ... You know, the accessories Nintendo used to warn you over so that you don't injure someone when boxing in Wii Sports?

We'd like to invite you to next month's OSDev workshop, where we'll try to write drivers for them! It'll be fun... and safer than boxing — both in Wii Sports and IRL — promise!

The #repair of this day is the water cooling circuit of the laser-tube in #CCCAC which broke last weekend.

The fix was made with a 3D printed part (modeled in #FreeCAD) that fits over the broken barb.
Unfortunately the FDM print was not watertight even with 100% infill. So I had to put even more epoxy around the part. Not it does not look as nice, but It seems to work.
No drops after 30min of runtime.

Finished off the evening at #CCCAC tonight by playing #Celeste via the #FEX x86_64 emulator, it ran super well and I got a couple strawberries 🍓

Definitely not the most ergonomic, but impressed it works! Most cozy Celeste setup.

Nochmal #FediKleinAnzeigen
Dieses Mischpult wird nicht mehr im #cccac gebraucht. Soweit bekannt funktioniert es.
Braucht etwa 50W im idle.

Abholung in #aachen
Kein Preis, einfach vor Ort was in die Spendenkasse werfen.

Last month we replied to experiences of introverted peeps and non-members at our space. Our post was tone deaf and we'd like to apologize. Members do enjoy privileges. We missed the mark on what becoming one is about.

Improving our hackerspace is iterative and we often ponder changes. We want to be as accommodating as we can and we want your feedback on this. We're listening on Matrix (#cccac:ccc.ac), Fedi (you're looking at it, we'll reply individually), or mail ([email protected], can be slower)
