My local library makerspace has a free sewing machine AND a free serger... not sure what a serger is... but it looks fancy.

Maybe..... I'll make a quick appointment to get a badge for these machines... Juuuuuust in case I wanna do more sewing in the future.

Screenshot of the library's sewing machine. The caption reads: Machine embroidery is a process that uses computer-guided stitching to create designs on various materials and garments. The Janome Artistic Digitizer software offered at IdeaSpace allows you to prepare custom designs for embroidering. Our Janome Memory Craft 15000 has multiple embroidery hoops, including an AcuFil quilting hoop. This machine also has free-motion quilting capabilities.

Screenshot of the library's serger. The caption reads: A serger is a specialty type of sewing machine. Sometimes referred to as an overlocker, it uses an overlock stitch that does not come on sewing machines. It uses three or more thread sources to create this overlock stitch and create a professional-grade binding for fabric.

I highly recommend that you check this out and earn these badges! My library #MakerSpace really got me into sewing. Start with bags or pillow coverings and go from there.

Ah damnit...

I do NOT have time... nor energy... to pick up another skillset....

But I could totally do this and make it work for exactly what I'm looking for.

Preparations for the upcoming #fabacademy in the northernmost fablab in Lyngen Forskningsstiftelse Mit.

https://academany.fabcloud.io/fabacademy/2026/bootcamp-instructors/

https://fabacademy.org/2026/schedule.html

Besides updating the course material, I'm also working on new projects. I'll be giving workshops on #Meshcore/#Meshtastic and the #Fabsat. And all of that in a fantastic environment!

Do you hate #broligarchs?
#Billionaires? #AiSlop but still think there is merit in #AI?

Here is my proposal for a stand alone.
OFFGRID COMMUNITY AI SYSTEM.

That's right.Your very own co-op AI

The calculations are very much back of the envelope, first cut, but quite feasible.
A 32billion parameters, frontier level performance compatable open source #llm model. The power requirements is that of 3AC units including cooling. Serves 15-20 concurrent users. 40 households of 4 people each (taking into account actual AI model distributed use metrics and contention ratios)

40 households, subscribing at $30/month over 2 years + power (solar). Train with your own datasets.
Entire set up takes half a rack.

LETS GO!!!

Sketch of a community, stand alone, co-op #AI #llm system

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!

An A1 poster in a clip-frame mounted on a brick wall. The poster is titled "The Cost of Doing Epic" and shows two stacked bar charts for monthly income and expenditure, averaged over the past six months. The income one totals £6812 but the expenses one shades it at £7052. Sad face.

Oh boy, that was fast! Somehow we need to find more future-proof models for open-source hardware. Letting the market do its thing is showing its true colors once again. Pure evil! 👿

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.

It hasn't printed the URL at the bottom yet, which points to ways people can help: https://doesliverpool.com/help/

A close up of a very large printer, as it prints an A1 poster. The poster has a headline reading "The Cost of Doing Epic" and green and red bars of a graph showing income and expenditure are just visible edging their way out of the printer.

Spoiler alert, but the red expenditure bar is bigger than the green income bar... — A close up of a very large printer, as it prints an A1 poster.

#3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

1. Biked to a part of town that's new to me to make some new friends
2. Saved a knit sweater at a #RepairCafe in our community #makerspace
3. Spent time with a family that lives a couple blocks from us and are starting a #BikeBus with us this fall

Felt like a nice #SolarpunkSunday 🥰
