If you need to just relax with friends, we’re here for that. If you want to get your hands a little dirty, we can help there, too.

"This is always FREE, and always for EVERYONE—no matter your housing status, language or background.

#RepairCafe starts #TechAmnesty to support #community

by Alexandra Bassingham, June 24, 2025

"A community project, which encourages people to bring in items to be fixed for free, has opened an amnesty point for unused #technology to be handed in and repurposed for others.

"The Repair Café, started by Biddy Hammond from Somerset, has helped hundreds of people since being set up in October 2023.

"It has two donation drop-ins a month, one in #BurnhamOnSea and the other in nearby #Highbridge. Items can also be donated at the information bureau on Burnham seafront.

"They now have almost 20 #volunteers, fixing items including #SoftToys, #upholstery, #electricals, and #clocks, which in turn, reduces items sent to #landfill sites.

"Ms Hammond said they are looking for an offer of a storage facility space so they can support the community even more

"Ms Hammond said it was after hearing a woman at a charity shop saying she could not afford to fix her iron, that she came up with the idea of opening a repair café.

" 'I thought it's such a simple thing to do to help people out and it's pointless buying a new whatever every five minutes, because items work for such a short while nowadays.'

"Repair Cafe volunteers also visit homes with a thermal imaging camera, to help people increase insulation with 'simple fixes in their homes like thicker curtains,' Ms Hammond added.

"She said after lockdown the repair cafe has built the community in quite a strong way, offering a service and a social space.

"Hugh Champion, one of the repair team, said: 'We have a good time, hopefully delight a few customers, and send them home with things they had written off that are back to working condition again.

" 'And people are so delighted when you help them fix something especially when it has high sentimental value,' he added."

Hello, Fediverse. I'm looking for embedded experts to help save #LEGO MINDSTORMS!

Background: pybricks.com/project/saving-le

Help: github.com/pybricks/support/is

I've made major progress, but I'd love to get some help! If writing an SPI flash driver or USB device implementation is your thing, I would love to hear from you 😀

I'll gladly donate an EV3 set for this. We can do this as a paid project too if that's a better fit. Let's discuss!

*not sure exactly what qualifies as “ewaste with special disposal requirements”, or arrangements in my lga
*gave my old phone to asylum seeker resource centre. found someone else happy to take a very old ipad that won’t hold a charge
*try not to use anything with disposable batteries (exception is kitchen scale)

@cobordism @hyc @voxel It's called #mathematics, because #ASIC|s are simply manufactured #eWaste by virtue of being non-reuseable nor upcycle-able.

Your reply indicates that you ain't aware of fundamentals like what an ASIC is, that producing ICs is inherently bad for the envoirment and that these are just bad per concept, thus you've disqualified yourself with the saneist reply from any discussion.

  • I'll give you a timeout of a few days. Feel free to sincerely apologize after that...
berlin.socialAron Fischer (@cobordism@berlin.social)@kkarhan@infosec.space "Whether the PoS transition did save energy is debateable since #Ethereum uses #ASIC|s" can I have some of what you are smoking? Must be strong stuff :D @hyc@mastodon.social @voxel@infosec.space

@hyc @voxel also #PoS inherently rewards rich users and concentrates power even more than the nature of #PoW would, as running a #Monero #node or #miner doesn't require expensive custom #ASIC|s that are going to become manufactured #eWaste down the line and can't be repurposed for anything but being the noisiest and most expesive space heaters!

infosec.space/@kkarhan/1146386

  • Or to put it into perspective: PoS implementations like #Ethereum only rewarded already abdurdly rich capital holders and wiped everyone else out due to every PoS mechanism demanding a minimum of staked coins AND even if it didn't all of them inherently reward staking more with a higher "rent" / "reward"!

Case in point: There are only ugly and filthy solutions to that problem and Monero chose the "least worst" they could: Shure it still has problems but those are at least fully known, understood and working as in 'communities can outnumber single rich entities'...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@voxel like all #PoW #Cryptocurrency, #Monero too does #WastefulComputing. - Unlike many others it automatically adapts #Difficulty based off total #hashrate as it enshures a constant block reward of 0,6 XMR + Tx Fees per block at a constant block time of 2mins per block. That being said Monero was explicitly designed to not be #ASIC-able in a cost-efficient manner and be #GPU-unfriendly, so it's more #decentralized and doesn't cause harm by demanding custom hardware that can't be repurposed that causes 100% avoidable #eWaste! - IOW: I's the *'least worst'* option given it's PoW doesn't incentive or reward capital holders (beyond the ability to host and have power to mine)…
