  Does #copyfail open any interesting doors for hacking (and upgrading/re-using) old locked down hardware? I'm initially thinking about old routers which couldn't previously have #OpenWRT installed on them 🤔 (I'm very much beyond my knowledge area, please inform/correct me) Edit: more info: https://copy.fail/ #permacomputing #hacking #RightToRepair #jailbreak

  Just looking into this event - looks awesome: "Feÿtopia Open Science & Human Pyramids" https://feytopia.com/events/openscience-humanpyramids2 I've wanted to visit #Feÿtopia for a while (a seasonal commune in a French château...) and this seems like it might be the crossover for me (#OpenScience + #communalLiving!? Let's go!) Anyone else from my fediverse networks thinking of going? #Feytopia #AI

  RE: https://social.coop/@da5nsy/116013773497388069 This event is on Thursday! Come along to learn more about #ElectronicResearchNotebooks It's shaping up to look like it's going to be jolly good fun indeed (if you're in to that sort of thing...!)

  I'm at the Open Science Retreat (#OSR26UK) this week, at the #CentreForAlternativeTechnology in #Machynlleth this week - surrounded by experimental #solar arrays (incl. some cool ones from "history") and it has reminded me about my account on solarcene.community (a #SolarPowered #mastodon instance) - time to dust that off and have a play! https://solarcene.community/@da5nsy

  Hackathon kicking off! ✨ (Pre-event for #OSR26UK) @priyasilverstein and Ruth Davies facilitating the day of updating the #UKRN resource "Open Research Across Disciplines" - "How the principles of open research can be applied to your discipline": ukrn.org/disciplines/ Intro slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1WASJvGs0nUsNOaRo64fERyKw0tvfrLMmL7sdAQ4eT6A/mobilepresent#slide=id.p #OpenResearch #ReproducibleResearch

  Hey fediverse, what's the latest on DIY #algorithms for #fediverse/#mastodon? I'm imagining the sort of thing where I could pull up a feed and it would show me things based on a prediction on what I'd like to engage with, but based on my own parameters which I could somehow tweak. What projects should I be looking at? (I know this is technically challenging for various reasons) Boost for reach please.

  I just had to write an introduction for a thing, and since what I do with my time has changed a bit recently I figured it might be time for a new #introduction here too! Hi folks! My name is Danny Garside and I wear too many hats - until recently I was a post-doc at Sussex University doing visual neuroscience things, now I'm transitioning more into the academic infrastructure world:... 1/n #academicInfrastructure

  "When people say “I’m not a tech person” (perhaps the single most repeated refrain in all our fieldwork) what they normally mean is something like “I can't work out how to operate the Torment Nexus like my niece can, she's a programmer you know”. Rather than seeing the underlying power relation: a system designed to make you feel alienated, on the outside, and needing a friendly corporation to help you, tech culture has managed to make you feel silly for not understandin...

  What if... we make a mastodon server but where each user has total control over their profile's CSS. Anything you can do with CSS (which doesn't take the server down) - go wild. Otherwise, totally normal mastodon server.

  #tailscale and #termux. This is very cool. I feel like I've just unlocked a new level of hacker nerd.

  @mntmn Would mntre make a laptop with an e-ink screen (perhaps using the @modos one?) I'm no hardware expert, I just want a laptop I can use from my hammock in the sun 💻🌞

  #GardenUpdate Feeling like the start of Spring. Taking stock of what survived the winter. Garden is growing nicely - bluebells and dandilions flowering, and the first of the Green Alkanet is flowering. Lots of bees. Some nice violets in the grass. 2/3 rhubarbs survived the winter. As did chard, beetroot and perhaps another leafy green thing. Pulled out a few alkanets to give some other things more of a chance. Oh and Rosemary, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Mint (in the pot out front) all doing well....

  I made a gap of the Broad Rental Market Areas (BRMAs) in #QGIS (because I wanted it, and also an excuse to try QGIS) to try and work out where we can afford to start a housing co-op. https://www.dannygarside.co.uk/blog/BRMA_QGIS/ #GIS #HousingCoop

  Well, I seem to be staying up to watch the results of the #GortonAndDentonByElection 😬🤞 #UKPol

  Got friends/family who live near Manchester or Stockport? Remind them to vote! It's TOMORROW (26th) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Gorton_and_Denton_by-election The polls have the Greens and Reform neck-and-neck on ~30% of the vote (with Green coming out ahead in a the most recent poll*), but with ~30% still undecided. TALK TO YOUR PEOPLE 🙏 This result is likely going to have major long-term implications for British politics - it will embolden either the Greens or Reform, and that m...
