I totalled up all of the costs for hosting #CommonsComputer. $550.32 per year, or $45.86 per month.
Which is pretty good for all the stuff it runs! There's no way I'd be able to keep all this stuff updated without having Cloudron just take care of it for me.
I met with Jon this morning at Z-Space after connecting at the Hardware Unconference.
He's a product designer with an expertise in plastics and hardware MVPs here in #Vancouver.
And as it turns out, he's also the creator of the Clug brackets we use for bikes in the studio!
Jon's new product is Relay Whiteboards -- small, re-usable, portable whiteboards that you can stick https://relaywhiteboards.com/
I ordered some to try out at the studio! Great to grow the hardware community locally!
Come join #DWebYVR for a #LOCALHOSTVan retrospective and look ahead for fall events, joint projects, and beyond.

My Daylight e-ink tablet arrived yesterday so I did a quick blog post with unboxing photos of what was included.
I’m part of the first batch because I paid for it in 2022, when the company had a different name!
It’s great to see Anjan Katta & team getting it into people’s hands!

I really haven’t used it much in the past 24 hours. Still exploring the companion apps and how I’m going to use it.
Thanks to Dawn, we're hosting a screening of Machine in Flames for #LOCALHOSTVan
"It was first distributed through a network of self-erasing USB data sticks dropped outside corporate campuses."
