First time I've heard audio on the #fairphone5 running #nixos, thanks to #postmarketos research in https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/3793#note_510714, it will soon™ Just Work™ in a mainline kernel near you!

My plan for the day is to see if I can turn these components into something that makes noise, following @todbot's CircuitPython synthio tutorials

At @DoESLiverpool for the Liverpool #Synth Meetup.
There are many, many synths of all sorts.
Our latest fortnight-notes went out earlier in the week: the end of the latest batch of @museuminabox, some finished packaging for My Bike's Got LED and more

Posters printed out and installed in @DoESLiverpool - one in the Events Space and one in the kitchen.
There's a version online if anyone wants to dig into the details.
tl;dr - we need more folk in using the space or we'll cease to exist. Tell all your #Liverpool friends who need a #coworking or #makerspace to come join!
Updating the @DoESLiverpool "Cost of Doing Epic" poster, so I've fired up our big poster printer!
As you can see, the red bar of expenses is still higher than the green bar of income 💔 They're closer than last time I ran it, but still the wrong way round.

Back on the @MCQN_Ltd My Bike's Got LED packaging kick for this #FreeCADFriday
I'd done a bit more work on it on Monday too and tried cutting it out. That wasn't too bad, but the tabs to hold the panel with the PCB on didn't keep it in place.
So today I reworked that bit to have the side panels to hold the battery hook over the PCB panel. That holds things much better.

For the next @does_salon, on Weds 12th Nov, Luke will be telling us about his work developing fuel cells and how their approach integrates with local circular economies and common ownership.
