Low-Tech Magazine and No Tech Magazine are such treasures of the web. I can just loose a couple hours surfing all the super interesting articles on these sites.

Hey #papernotebooks users, I'm considering getting some Field Notes Expedition notebooks but heard they are finicky with what pens will work effectively on them. I've mainly used micron 02 (I think) on my non-waterproof Field Notes and like fine tip but don't know how they'd work on an Expedition. I've heard Sharpies are a good alternative?
Some new #fermention after a long hiatus. We have spicy garlic cucumber pickles, spicy garlic honey, and garlic ginger beet kvass with and without dill.

We’re pleased to announce #MeshJam2022, a two-day celebration of mesh networking at Iffy Books. We'll have mesh talks and workshops all day on Saturday, August 13 and Saturday, August 20. Hope to see you there!
Dear fediverse, I need more rad #solarpunk people to follow. Please give me recommendations!
I haven't seen the #automat documentary yet, but for years now I always take the opportunity to pass by the original Horn & Hardart Automat location at 8th and Chestnut in Philadelphia. It's just a cool-looking building.

On Saturday, 7/23 at 2 pm, Mike Dank (@Famicoman) will give a talk called 'Networks of Philly' on the hidden telecom infrastructure that shapes our city. See you there!
I think I need to wire a new fuse holder into it but this RadioShack phone is pretty awesome looking even if it doesn't power up yet. I just got the power cable for it today as it uses a 5-pin DIN connector. I'm not even sure if this is supposed to work without the two (yes two!) lead acid batteries inserted but we will see.
I gave a talk about the Networks of Philly project (https://networksofphilly.org), which discovers and documents cool #infrastructure in Philadelphia, at @iffybooks this past Saturday. For anyone interested the slides are available here in a few different formats: https://github.com/networksofphilly/networksofphilly.org/tree/master/presentations
My next house will have a faraday cage room.
Hey Philly friends, come to the Bar Raccrawl this Saturday May 14th at @iffybooks and hang out with some local friendly hackers. More info here https://www.meetup.com/SecShell/events/283441501/?_xtd=gqFypzY4MzYwNjihcKNhcGk&from=ref

Hello, I’m Grimmware and I like to read books on magic and occultism and then translate those systems into code for Plan 9 from Bell Labs. I try to apply a rationalist credulity to magical and archetype systems, and I’m a big fan of using divination systems as a psychological prompt for learning and growing. I like operating systems, retro computers and digital electronics.
In my work life, I do defensive systems security and visibility.
