Portable mini server! 👀 When plugged in, it hosts a tiny website available to anyone in network reach.
Thank you @kazc / @actinomy for the workshop and @ooooo for hosting us at t_cyberhol. Had lots of fun!

@semilanceata Very cool, and I love that it uses recycled batteries! Reminds me of this Iffy Books zine: https://iffybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/zines/Iffy_Books_Pocket_Wifi_Portal_Zine_screen.pdf

@semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo Loving it(!) The zine is very inspiring!

hey @deuxfleurs you're going to love that I'm sure :)

@semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo THAT'S SO COOL!

@semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo what's the hardware?

@ghosttie @semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo Looks like an ESP32-C3 super mini?

@linuxandyarn @ghosttie @kazc @actinomy @ooooo Yes! Also a LX-LCBST chip for battery management and a lipo battery recycled from a vape.

@semilanceata @linuxandyarn @ghosttie @kazc @actinomy @ooooo yes!!! I love that you used a recycled vape battery. I've been saving all my vape corpses so I can use the batteries for something. this is brilliant!

@semilanceata That is kind of cool.

Tic Tac case is the new Altoids tin, apparently. Nice project!

Now *that's* a device which could be real handy in these troubled times.

When many people imagine a "server" they imagine a warehouse-sized datacentre owned by one of a handful of hyperscalers. Even decision-makers for major online services often can't imagine servers working any other way;

This little plugin server shows how a server can be human-scale, and server farms can be community-controlled infrastructure

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/

@semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo i love this!

@semilanceata @alien @kazc @actinomy @ooooo Love it 💕

@aral @semilanceata @alien @kazc @actinomy @ooooo

Like a #piratebox ?

@semilanceata Oh wow! I love this cute lil server. I want to make one. I will look at the material.

@semilanceata I've been thinking about something similar with addition of utilizing mesh WiFi system of ESP32 boards to allow servers to swap files when they are near each other long enough and files match some rules.

dasgrueneblatt Jan 26

@semilanceata cute! 💚

@kazc @actinomy @ooooo

Ha this is brilliant

Geffrey van der Bos Jan 26

@semilanceata That's excellent! Unlimited LAN business cards! 😆

thunfisch Jan 26

@semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo

That is such a cool idea. I wonder if you could make it run on a tiny solar panel and supercapacitor and have it attached to your backpack all the time :)

Someone's trash is another person's web server.

@semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo it needs to host a game of tic tac toe 🤔

Emma Davidson Jan 26

@semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo I wish someone would host a workshop to make these in Canberra / Melbourne because I would absolutely go along and make fun things like this.

actinomy Jan 26

@emmadavidson @semilanceata @kazc @ooooo

maybe you can team up with someone and host it yourself :)) if you have any questions regarding hardware etc. we are happy to support!

actinomy Jan 26

@semilanceata @kazc @ooooo

@thunfisch @mikeful there are so many possible extensions from mesh networks to solar-powering, we'd love to see that happening!!

Witzig 😅:
Ich hab heute morgen diesen Post gesehen und fand das Konzept super cool! 🥰💕

Dann schau ich heute Mittag endlich die eine ARTE Tracks Doku über Offline Datenaustausch die ich schon ne ganze Weile auf "später ansehen" habe und zack: geht es dort genau um die Arbeit von @actinomy

📹 Zur Doku:

(Beitrag ab Minute 12, ist aber im Ganzen sehenswert 👀)

Tracks - Sneakernet: Internet ohne Netz - Komplette Sendung | ARTE

Wie haben wir Fotos, Dateien und Musik geteilt, bevor es das Internet gab? Wie können wir online Daten teilen, ohne sie gleichzeitig an die GAFAM weiterzugeben? Und was würde passieren, wenn Instagram, TikTok oder Gmail über Nacht verschwinden würden? Die Antwort mehrerer Nerd-Kollektive lautet: Wir gehen ins “Sneakernet”, ins „Turnschuh-Netzwerk”. Von Mensch zu Mensch.

@semilanceata I like how it looks like it's saying “AAAAAAAA💚" at the bottom of its board(?) and I have no idea how intentional that is

@semilanceata @kazc @actinomy @ooooo @David

This is beyond cool and all of it in a TicTac container!

@semilanceata this is what I want to see when talking about the intersection of art and technology!
