Dutch hackerspaces and FabLabs

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/15

Before visiting Bitlair 2 years ago, I didn’t know there were so many hackspaces and FabLabs in The Netherlands.

There are (:

Starting points:

This is the hackerspace closest to my home: [Wayback/Archive] Technologia Incognita. At Louwesweg 1, 1066 EA Amsterdam, it is about 15 minutes bicycling distance (more information on in their wiki at [Wayback/Archive] ACTA – Technologia Incognita; onofficially on Twitter at [Wayback/Archive] Techlnc ☸ (@Techlnc) / Twitter).

    Required hardware

    • 3D Printer or access to 3D printing service.
    • Screws:
      • 13 x M2.5 threaded inserts, outer diameter 3.5 mm (other diameter will require altering the holes for the inserts) + tools for inserting them.
      • 9 x M2.5×4 (-6) for case assembly.
      • 4 x M2.5×4 (-6) or stand-offs for motherboard assembly.

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/23

Sometimes you need a relatively low-tech solution for updating.

Hopefully a newer and more reliable “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device will ever be released

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/30

For my link archive as this was a cool idea, but for many their device didn’t last that long:

[Wayback/Archive] ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_ComputaPranksta_Support: Public support for my “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device I sell on Amazon and elsewhere.

This device is a mouse jiggler. It keeps your computer awake. It can also be used to have some fun with your friends (please don’t take it too far–it’s meant to be used in good, friendly gest–not for any type of malicious purposes).

Notes:

Links on those USB Mouse Jigglers below, but first some links on the Computa Pranksta:

In-rackIf you ever need a large bunch of Mac minis in a data center, then start reading at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – Uptime-Lab/KVM-rack-stand-for-16-Mac-minis.

The repository by Ivan Kuleshov has all information you need, including scripts for Pi-KVM, and 3D printing STL source files.

It was covered in [Wayback/Archive] The MagPi issue 139 — The MagPi magazine (direct [Wayback/Archive] MagPi139.pdf; it’s too large for [Wayback] Goole Docs on-line viewing).
