Whelp, my nextcloud server just shit the bed & rebooting took it from only ssh access to failing to even boot, and because I rarely have more than half a clue what I'm doing, it would be likely take hours to even figure out what went wrong. Hours that I don't have available any time soon or in any consistent fashion.

@ajroach42 it's not making the film itself, but Caffenol developer (made from coffee & other household ingredients) would go great with a homemade camera projecthttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffenol

Having some weird synchronicity going on today. Listening to the latest #HourofSlack (which happens to be a rerun from 2000) as I drive between service calls and I hear Pat Boone's lounge cover of Enter Sandman.I stop for lunch a few minutes later and go into a big name grocery store and...."Hello, hello, hello, helloooo..."The lounge cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Paul Anka is playing on the stores PA system.:blobmindblown:

This morning, my toddler insisted that I make him a hovercraft. I think I would call this a success#diy #MakeStuff

Finally managed to land on top of the fan!Then I went back to teaching my toddler to knock it out of the air with an elastic headband. He's got pretty good aim already.

@mansr now that would be a challenge. As it is, if it hovers over a blade for more than a second or so the downdraft starts the fan turning a bit making for a (slow) moving target

I am currently 100% safe from any sort of self-driving car related injury(On a northern New England island that is only accessible by passenger ferry, with no vehicles allowed here aside from a small handful of work trucks & golf carts.)

Just putting this out there for any fedi-folks at #HOPE2022 If anyone is working on a project and is in need of things like resistors, LEDs, switches, battery holders, or other commodity parts, hit me up. I have a bunch of stuff from when I raided a Radio Shack as they were going out of business years ago. @observer:hackers.town on the matrix

Tag sale impulse buy: I had a few different pairs of these when I was a kid, and this pair was surprisingly functional and sturdier than the cheap ones made in the 80'sDefinitely worth $1.00

I'm once again fantasizing about trying to get a hacker/maker space going in my area, and I figured a name would be an easy place to start. The concept I have in mind is a maker/hacker space with a repair cafe angle, so I figured 3 descriptive words plus the city name might work well, at least in the interest building phase.So do any of these jump out as good or bad in regards to rhythm, unfortunate acronyms, tongue twisters, or anything else? Feel free to boost or make other suggestions as wellThanks!

Is it too pedantic to post a rant about how "A4" is a 2-dimentional description of a paper size and says absolutely nothing about the thickness, any time I see 3d printer instructions advising the use of "a sheet of A4 paper" to set the proper nozzle height or level the print bed?Asking for a friend

As a straightish cis white guy, what's the best way to indicate (on flyers, webpages, etc) that the hackerspace/community I'm building is a safe space for, and more than welcoming to, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, & neurodiverse members? I want it to be blatantly obvious that this is the case, but don't want to seem pandering or <culture>washing
