Make a home page like it's 1999! Join us at Iffy Books for a new workshop called Make Your First Website, led by Ragman a.k.a. Richard Green. You'll learn the basics of HTML and create a static site on the free hosting service Neocities. No experience necessary! Please bring a laptop if you have one. […]
Learn to make a programmable game timer and dice with a Pi Pico microcontroller! First you’ll solder six LEDs, two switches, and a vibration motor to the board’s GPIO pins. Then you’ll install and customize the CircuitPython code that makes it work. No experience needed! You’ll need to buy a kit for $8.50 to complete […]
Join us for a workshop on one-time pad encryption! We'll walk you through a technique for sending truly private messages without a computer, using 6-sided dice to generate random numbers. We'll use an encoder/decoder sheet that fits on a single sheet of paper and can be recreated from memory. You can find the workshop materials […]

At this workshop you'll learn to create passphrase-protected files using OpenSSL, a command-line program that's probably already installed on your computer. With this technique you can send encrypted files via email/Dropbox, then share the passphrase with the recipient on a secure channel (e.g., Signal). Useful for avoiding surveillance & data mining! Save message: echo "My […]

The Speculative Futures Reading Group meets on the last Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m.! This month we're discussing Planetes Book 1 by Makoto Yukimura. (Illustrated by Makoto Yukimura, translated by Yuki Johnson, adapted by Anna Wenger & Brendan Wright.)
In this workshop you'll learn the basics of soldering by building a tiny oscillator circuit with two transistors and two LED lights. No previous experience needed! Register: coming soon!
Homebrew Website Club is a growing world-wide network of meetups for everyone who wants to take back their web experience from social media silos, and own their online identities & content, or just want support with blogging!
➡️ Virtual Meetup Link Discord: Email neoluddite@victorgom.es for an invite! Full schedule: victorgom.es/neoluddite If you're joining for the first time, I'd suggest you read this before anything else for brief context: What the Luddites Really Fought Against by Richard Conniff.The only expectation is that you read the chapter(s) of the book that's listed for that […]
