It's been non stop at the #repairCafe here.
The queue was out to the car park.
70 items arrived and many have left successfully repaired! I've heard the successful repair bell ring at least 20 times but a few people snuck out without dinging...

A8 I was worried there wouldn't be any questions about photos!
Just today, I discovered the county installed this at the library. How cool is that? It has a full supply of tools, a pump and a place to hang your bike during repairs.
And our last question of the week:
Q8. It's already mid-January! Do you have any photos, cycling related or not, to share from the past week? Tell us about it!

A painting that I think went better than I expected.
I think gold won’t help or heal what ails us, but it would be useful if billionaire money was redistributed to help the poor.
This series vacillates between fool’s gold & true gold. Gold that repairs, versus gold used to destroy.
I think of true gold as wisdom, discernment, integrity, understanding, compassion, etc.

Thank you for showing this, I never knew how to repair a hole in a knitted sweater, and this solution makes the reparation visible.

Repair a ship’s hull still in the river in -50˚C (2022)
#HackerNews #Repair #Ship #Hull #Cold #Weather #River #Techniques #Innovation
@bigblen I assume the lower part is required as a kind of latch? But my first though was one or two D-shackles and drill a hole through the "latch" part. But not sure if there is enough material for this.
@waldschnecke The thin part with the small hole has a spring along it, and is used to disengage the chain from the door.
The exact shape is fairly important, though I'm not sure what the sloping nipple is for.
Meanwhile, I went to the MenzShed and made a replacement from steel.
It isn't hollow, so needs a shorter spring.

I finally watched Cory Doctorows talk at #39c3 about a post-American internet, general purpose computing and the right to repair. May have to watch it again, because he speaks fast and hit a lot of fair points there about the US and captialism in general having crossed over a tipping point. If your're interested, have a look for yourself at https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-american-enshittification-resistant-internet (no Youtube link!).

L'intelligenza artificiale incontra l'archeologia a Pompei
Il progetto #RePAIR finanziato dall'UE utilizza l'intelligenza artificiale e la robotica per ricostruire affreschi frammentati come un gigantesco puzzle. Testato su affreschi della Casa dei Pittori al Lavoro e della Schola Armaturarum, dimostra come la tecnologia possa aiutare gli archeologi a ricostruire il patrimonio culturale.

This shitty broken cast metal part is why my Merlin garage door opener is not usable at the moment.
The chunk that is broken off transmits the force from the trolley latch on the chain to the trolley assembly that pulls the door up.
I estimate the area of the broken surface at about 40 square mm.
As far as I can make out, this part is not available as a spare, despite only needing 3 screws undone to get to it.
Thinking about how to make a new one...
