Does anyone in #Pennsylvania or #Maryland inside the #Harrisburg, #Philadelphia, #Baltimore triangle have a line on free, used networking racks, mounting hardware, etc.? I'm looking for mostly the rack rails for some projects.

When I was doing construction/remodeling I saw these getting thrown in dumpsters so often that it feels weird to pay for new ones when I fell like there should be some out there somewhere that are about to get binned.

Under the kitchen sink, we have a cardboard box we use for recycling. It’s been in my possession for over 13 years, and our recycling box for 10-12 of those.

I got it for free from Davis Square Liquors in a big flat stack of boxes to pack into for our move from Somerville/Cambridge to Seattle. Biked them home from Davis to outside Teele on my handlebars. About 9 years ago, when we moved house in Seattle, it moved from under that sink to its current sink.

What a good box.

About #GPL .

If I buy a second-hand device with #Linux on it, who's responsible for giving me the sources?

It seems logical to me that the person I bought it from. But good luck getting sources from a private rando ( #sustainability #reuse ).

On the other hand, my #ISP sells me, say a #Huawei device. Is the ISP obliged to give me sources or can they say "it's not our problem" and send me to the manufacturer?

#PSA Please when designing new tech consider that not everyone has a reliable 24/7 broadband internet connection, or a large screen, or a keyboard, or a mouse, or is able to get a domain name, or is able to run services from home, is able to power their home-server for the whole day, or can rent a VPS, or can have their ip-addresses be linked to an identity, or has one legal identity, or has one name, or has a recent computer, or has easy access to a debit or credit card, or has a bank account with either, or has a PayPal account, or has bitcoin, or one of many other things some and often many people just don't have, etc…

#Solar #Reuse Anyone interested in a solar hotwater panel, plus pump and controller in Arrowtown? Good condition (12yo) and free to a good home. Plumb in to your hot water cylinder, spa pool or swimming pool.

Replacing with PV solar. Please boost!

Rather than buy a new shaver point for the redecorated bathroom I thought I'd see how the perfectly functional old one came up with a bit of careful cleaning. It's looking like new, very surprised!
Having removed it I can also see it would qualify as 'vintage', with its tested label dated September 1979 😁
