SUMMARY:💾☀️ Permacomputing + Solarpunk Meetup
DESCRIPTION:The Permacomputing + Solarpunk meetup is every other third Wednesday at Iffy Books! You can join us in person (404 S. 20th St.\, PHL) or remotely via Jitsi Meet. \n➡️ Virtual meetup link\nFrom Permacomputing.net: Permacomputing is a more sustainable approach to computer and network technology inspired by permaculture. Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in digital technology. In a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste\, permacomputing encourages a more sustainable approach\, maximizing hardware lifespans\, minimizing energy use and focussing on the use of already available computational resources. We do this because humans are part of nature and technology is an extension of humans\, and we acknowledge that technology has been used to harm nature. We want to find out how we can practice good relations with the Earth by learning from ecological systems to leverage and re-center existing technologies and practices. We are also interested in investigating what a permacomputing way of life could be\, and what sort of transformative computational culture and aesthetics it could bring forward. If you want to know more\, please start reading about what is permacomputing in essence\, and then dive into its principles. \nPermacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Design Constraints in Computational Culture by Mansoux\, Howell\, Barok\, and Heikkilä (2023)

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.

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.
