As part of the Parallel Library Services workshop series I installed Bibliotecha
onto a Raspberry Pi that I usually use for different experiments. It is nice, that on each return to an experiment with the Pi there is some small incremental progress. I'm able to set it up headless(?) now and configure SSH access.
There is a gyre of knowledge accumulating from these small steps into other protocols (Gemini, Hyper) systems (Tilde) and things (Pi, Arduino) along with the overlapping communities that create the dialog around each of these.
I always enjoy reading the gemlogs that imagine new protocols or examine parts of existing ones.
I have a bunch of Wemos D1 mini boards from a project that fell apart a while back. They're tiny boards that can be used in IoT type projects and can run as a miniature web server. I reinstalled the Arduino IDE and have been playing with a few sketches. Attempting to make the board do things.
An offline/online hub. A hardware text. The text is on the chip. It isn't useful like the library. It isn't read/write. It's store/read. It is storied. Huh. It is a prompt.
The example code is a few steps away from being something like text that is stored in a very specific space and accessible from close proximity. The login details could be shared with friends and when nearby they could open it up and see. Messages could pass along.
Like the Bibliotecha setup it introduces its own constraints and methods of access, modes of community, that must be worked out and created.
Careful Networks opened last week. It was very encouraging to post about the project on Mastodon and be engaged with different conversations and discussions. It seems to be mirrored fairly consistently at the moment and you can visit via:
Tom who is my friend and built the site has been talking about co-ops for a long time and we've finally started finding space to make a few things happen. He's documenting stuff at:
