Swarm alert! TOG member John recently caught a honeybee swarm to start a new hive — using a bait box, some comb frames & lemongrass oil 
He’s planning to monitor the hive with sensors & a remote camera, inspired by our aquarium project!

The current media system is stacked against us. It’s rigged, exclusive, and hostile to alternatives.
That’s why we need the Open Media Network.
Because without an open, trust-based infrastructure for communication and coordination, we’re just shouting into silos.
Let’s build something different.
Let’s make history — together.
Some people chase profits. Others build magic.
I love projects like this one: https://lnkd.in/dx2rU3un
It turns your MacBook trackpad into a digital scale.
No special hardware. No ads. No paywall. Just… curiosity turned into code.
It hijacks the Force Touch sensors, calibrates raw pressure data, and gives you surprisingly accurate weight readings—all with your finger and a clever hack.
This is what I wish more tech looked like:
smart
simple
not for sale
While others gatekeep innovation behind SDKs and subscriptions, this project goes:
here’s how it works, enjoy.
Open Source with purpose, not polish for profit.
It’s niche, odd, and brilliant.
And that’s exactly why it matters.
To everyone trying to monetise every byte:
You’re missing the joy. You’re missing the point.
To TrackWeight:
You nailed it.
Hacky, educational, experimental.
No evil. No upsell. Just exploration.
Thumbs up.
Why It Matters
If metadata is the new currency, then open metadata is the new commons. Capitalism runs on closed systems — the #OMN runs on shared knowledge and decentralized trust.
This isn’t about perfect tech. It’s about:
Human-scale trust
Community autonomy
Fast, messy, democratic distribution
Real-world resilience
It’s not utopia. It’s compost — and we’ve got the shovels.

My finished #DIY #solderfumeextractor.
The fumes are sucked in and pushed out through the flexible tubing which I hang out of my window.
It's powered by USB-C (12V) and can handily be plugged into my @iFixit #FixHub's second USB-C output as I've integrated a USB-PD trigger board.
The project is made from the packaging my FixHub came in - that's what I call #upcycling ;)
[Project inspired by YouTuber "DIY Perks"]

Caméra #Imilab EC2 : RIP la réparabilité ! 
Test d’une Imilab EC2 en 2021. 4,5 ans après : panne batterie.
Remplacement ? LOL. Il faut chauffer, décoller, arracher, tout démonter… pour trouver un pack 18650 + BMS indémontable, scellé Marre des produits jetables !
