Happy to share that our project compost.cc will have its first presentation in the Future Territories exhibition at Das Lot in Vienna on May 7–10

https://en.lot.wien/futureterritories

We'll run a Bring-Your-Own-Device workshop on Saturday 9 at 3pm. If you are in Vienna and have a spare device (an old computer, laptop, Android tablet or cell phone), join us and walk out running your own compost.cc node.

– an essay by Noemi Garay Murcia @Error417

Netstalgia is not a harmless longing for a better internet, it is the cultural symptom of platform capitalism in crisis.

Last night, we watched Project Hail Mary in Friedrichshain, and we were surprised and moved by the inclusion of Violeta Parra’s “Gracias a la vida” (Mercedes Sosa’s version) in the film's soundtrack. Thank you to whoever made that decision!

Jailbreaking Old Devices

> At this meetup Sam Heckle will lead us in a demo of “jailbreaking” to get old devices hampered by planned obsolescence up and running again (think old phones, media players, game consoles). We will be looking for ways to play around with the existing hardware and re-incorporating them back into serviceable devices, running a web server, media player, and more. We'll also continue our discussions on permacomputing and ways we can hack existing devices to extend their longevity and limit our own production of e-waste. Devices are planned to become obsolete, and it is our job as soft(ware) custodians to maintain, cultivate, and care for these old and forgotten tools. Please bring your old devices/phones/game systems. The talk will demonstrate jailbreaking iOS devices but you are welcome to bring what you have.

Pleased with this little weatherproof #meshtastic build, with the RAK Wisblock and a few sensors, a little 1200mAh LiPo and built in solar panel. Initial readings show that with good placement it should not run dry across a few heavily overcast days but will see.

I drilled a hole for the SMA antenna connector and mounted it facing down to avoid humidity build-up.

Reception is good with that little stock 900MHz omni, seeing many nodes in our neighbourhood, some kilometers away direct (0 hops).

Zachary Furste and I are working on a #permacomputing project through which we are facilitating the creation of a network for collectively preserving endangered #archives. It's called compost.cc and you can learn more by visiting the about section: compost.cc/about
