Me: Hmm, this whole thing of buying a derelict chateau or mountain cottage and fixing them up sounds really appealing!

Also Me: what? a plumbing job and a shelf need attention? – Ugh, do I HAVE to?

39c3: In-house electronics manufacturing from scratch: How hard can it be? [video]

My daughter asked me for a bookshelf. Five pieces of wood and six hours later, it stands in her room.

Creating a shelf like this is really easy. You need a saw, a cordless screwdriver (or a drill), and optionally an eccentric sander—that’s all.

Hey Fedi!

I recently built my first bike wheel! It is a rebuild of the rear wheel around the original hub for this ~25-yo Peugeot bike. 36 spokes, three cross pattern. It was way easier than I thought it would be, even without a truing stand and a tension meter.

As usual, a shout out to Park Tools for the excellent instruction video. :)

✨ #Deafspace Makeover, Teil 2: Verkehrsspiegel für visuelle Orientierung ✨

Im unserem Hackspace #Deafspace gibt es einige Ecken, Gänge und blickdichte Türen, die das frühzeitige Erkennen anderer Personen erschweren können. Um dennoch visuelle Sicherheit und soziale Interaktion zu gewährleisten, werden gewölbte Verkehrsspiegel eingesetzt. Sie ermöglichen es, Bewegungen im Raum besser wahrzunehmen und Aufmerksamkeit rechtzeitig zu erkennen.

#DIY unexpectedly my partner has said I’m all caught up on maintenance and household DIY. This means she has forgotten about the broken house front door handle :)

Please enjoy this ridiculous thing I made for my new bathroom. My self-assigned brief was:

- Store bulk toilet roll in that convenient space over the cistern,
- In a way where you can easily grab a new roll from sitting on the toilet,
- Without risk of toilet roll avalanches when you do so.

It's a dispenser loaded from top, with a sloped bottom that leads down to a hole at the bottom corner to take one roll at a time.

It is not neat or polished but it DOES work.

I replaced the battery for my Dell laptop and was curious to see what was inside. I was vaguely aware you can check how far gone your batteries are by reading out the voltage and to my surprise they read 4.21V, 4.25V and 4.28V. According to my laptop battery information, the total capacity was around 35% (14 Wh).

I know very little about batteries but given all three cells are seemingly fully charged, it is possible there's an issue with the circuit of the battery? I'm just curious to learn more about these batteries as it seems wasteful (and perhaps dangerous?) to recycle these given they're fully charged.

The decision by #MegaCorps to follow the #enshittification path of things forces us to re-gain control over various parts of our life one by one.

Please, creative #hackers of this world, more of that! 🙇
