SUMMARY:👻 Wi-Fi Tricks with Ghost ESP
DESCRIPTION:If you’re interested in learning about wi-fi and Bluetooth networking but you can’t afford a Flipper Zero\, this workshop is for you! Ghost ESP is a network analysis/testing tool that can run on a low-cost ESP32 microcontroller\, as well as variants including the ESP32-C3. Ghost ESP offers wi-fi scanning\, custom SSID beacons\, captive portal mode\, BLE scanning\, and even deauth attacks (for demo/testing purposes). \nIt’s super easy to get started! In this workshop we’ll install Ghost ESP on our ESP32 & ESP32-C3 devices using the ESPressoFlash web flasher. Then we’ll interact with Ghost ESP using the Ghost ESP web serial console or the Arduino IDE. \nRegister:\nRegistration for this event is now closed. We'll offer it again soon! \n  \n

SUMMARY:🔁 Cassette Tape Loop Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn to make physical audio loops with used cassette tapes! No experience needed. \nFor the workshop we’ll be using cassettes with screws in the corners\, which are easier to take apart but less common than the ones fastened with glue. We’ll have regular cassette tapes for $1 each if you want to keep experimenting at home. \nRegister:\n\n  \nStep 1: Choose a used cassette tape. \nStep 2: Rewind the tape and record a minute or two of music\, your voice\, and/or percussion sounds. Then eject it. \nStep 3: At the bottom of the cassette there’s a small area where the magnetic tape is exposed. Use a paperclip or pencil to pull the tape out an inch or so\, then cut the tape with scissors. The recording you just made is now on the smaller spool\, while the bigger spool contains whatever was originally on the tape. \nStep 4: If you’re using a glued-together cassette (no screws)\, carefully separate the plastic shells using a pry tool. Ask the instructor for help. If you have a cassette with screws\, use a tiny screwdriver to unscrew all four corners. \nStep 5: Print and assemble tape loop template. \nStep 6: Cut several 9″–10″ lengths of cassette tape. \nStep 7: Wrap a length of tape around your template tube and attach the ends with a tiny drop of superglue. To avoid using too much glue\, you may want to apply it using the tip of a needle. \nStep 8: Put your loop into a cassette shell and screw the corners together. \nStep 9: Load the tape into a tape player and press play!

SUMMARY:👻 Wi-Fi Tricks with Ghost ESP
DESCRIPTION:If you’re interested in learning about wi-fi and Bluetooth networking but you can’t afford a Flipper Zero\, this workshop is for you! Ghost ESP is a network analysis/testing tool that can run on a low-cost ESP32 microcontroller\, as well as variants including the ESP32-C3. Ghost ESP offers wi-fi scanning\, custom SSID beacons\, captive portal mode\, BLE scanning\, and even deauth attacks (for demo/testing purposes). \nIt’s super easy to get started! In this workshop we’ll install Ghost ESP on our ESP32 & ESP32-C3 devices using the ESPressoFlash web flasher. Then we’ll interact with Ghost ESP using the Ghost ESP web serial console or the Arduino IDE. \nRegister:\nRegistration for this event is now closed. We'll offer it again soon! \n  \n

SUMMARY:⚙️ Neo-Luddite Reading Group: 'The Mechanic and the Luddite' by Jathan Sadowski
DESCRIPTION:➡️ Virtual Meetup Link\nDiscord: Email neoluddite@victorgom.es for an invite! \nFull schedule: victorgom.es/neoluddite \nIf 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 meeting. You’re still welcome to participate if you haven’t done the readings as long as you are mindful. For each chapter\, I’ve also noted some optional readings for context\, so I’d suggest checking those out rather than reading ahead in the book. And remember\, if you ever find yourself struggling with any of the readings or concepts\, reach out! Either directly to me over email or to the entire group over discord.
