The #hackerspace was itself the best project. It still is.

Sewing rooms, plural. Woodworking, CNC, auto body, and bike mechanics shops. Fab labs for 3D printers, laser cutters, and 3-axis milling machines. We converted the warehouse's elevated supervisor booth into a treehouse lounge, one of several. A vending machine that runs on the honor system. _Working bathrooms._ Industrial-scale particulate filters. Safety training.

And in the beating heart of it all: the electronics lab.

I recently visited i3 Detroit on a lark to see how they're doing. It was bittersweet; seeing a #hackerspace get so large and successful was a joy. But now its maintenance needs outpace the capacity of volunteer labor. Large overhaul projects are stalling midway through; I saw people burning out.

So what is the most Discord- or Slack-like thing that one can self-host for a Hacker Club?

edit: an idea of requirements...

I guess I need it to have an easy web page front end so rank beginners will know how to use it; I'll give up as much fancy functionality as I need to for that.

Also needs to be self-hosted with no surveillance or shitty commercial license or capitalist issues. Again, I will give up as much fancy functionality as I have to.

From there, I'd like to have as much Nice Stuff as possible, groups, spaces for admin, different topics, etc.

Thinking Matrix via a web frontend? Not sure about the licensing/beholdenness of Matrix.

We're meeting tomorrow (Fri 4th Apr) at #Glasgow #hackerspace - @thegamerclub at 153 Bath Lane from 6pm 'til late - all welcome!

Hackers, crackers, geeks, hats of any colour, technology enthusiasts, hacktivists, and other like-minded folks are most welcome. We do not judge anyone and everyone has something to contribute, no matter their level of expertise!

Also join us in Matrix at #2600:glasgow.social (invite link: glasgow.social/matrix)

Merendojo es un evento gratuito organizado por la #Devscola y el #Hackerspace #Valencia.
Trabajamos en equipos para resolver pequeños problemas con programación, para aprender de las demás personas, mientras disfrutamos de una deliciosa merienda. No importa los conocimientos que tengas de programación.
Habrá, algo de merendar y algo de beber.
Si puedes traer un portátil, mejor. Si no, puedes ponerte con alguien que lo traiga. C/Francisco Martínez 19 Acc, bajo, Valencia. Lun 7 Abr, 19:00h

@sheddi @pluralistic @frameworkcomputer @iFixit Meanwhile, if a larger #hackerspace can recruit enough mechanics and electricians (and a couple engineers, if they're not already members) and partner with a suitably equipped garage, there could be a similar market for replacing computerized automotive electronics. Perhaps this would be best paired with an existing #EV retrofit business.

But the appliance retrofitting would have a much lower capital startup cost. Perhaps automotive electronics retrofits could be a sequel to the appliances, seeded with proceeds from those.

@ooguz Build a tool to circumvent censorship during protests over legacy comm's such as #SMS, #lora, #radio and Dial-up. He published software today. So if anyone want to help him develop this idea further please give him a hand. Dialup used to be a backbone service for many protests since 2010 in east and making it more accessible is valuable.

@revspace @hsnl Update: We went, it was great, we spent a good couple of hours and are thinking up projects and plan to join and go back.
Everyone was very friendly, even the VAX 11/750!
It’s rewarding to have people model in a friendly way, “this is hard; I don’t quite know what will work but I’m experimenting (carefully, safely) and it’s fun even if it doesn’t work yet.”
