Woohoo, I'm now hosting a weekly repair cafe at Principles GI Coffee House in Brooklyn: http://principlesbk.nyc
Does anyone who has hosted some have advice for things to do when starting out like what tools to bring for the first day or how to manage expectations when someone brings something that i definitely cannot fix?
@gbargoud you'll either have way too many tools or not the one you need, if not both.
The diagnostic tools needed for our local Linux install clinic have shifted over the years. I usually take every video adapter I've found and a portable flat HDMI display, spare keyboard, external CD/DVD drive, USB drive preloaded with Ventoy (usually with gparted iso, maybe some rescue isos, as well as install images).
Thanks, I think I will pack a live USB, needles and thread, some glue, and some multitools for the first one and adjust it week over week.
The coffee shop I'm doing this at has a well stocked bike repair corner so I don't have to worry about that part
