SUMMARY:💾🌾 Iffy Books Permacomputing Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Our next permacomputing meetup is on Sunday\, May 21st at 1:00 PM EDT. You can join us in person at Iffy Books (319 N. 11th St. #2I\, PHL) or via Jitsi audio stream. \n\n\n\n➡️ Jitsi Stream 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.

SUMMARY:📡 Meshtastic 101
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, May 19th at 6:00 p.m. we’re hosting an introduction to Meshtastic\, an application that lets you send private text messages over the air using pocket-sized LoRa radios. \nHere’s a link to our updated zine on LoRa + Meshtastic. (We’re still working on it; we’ll post a PDF version soon.) \nIf you have a LoRa radio (or reserve one below)\, we’ll show you how to flash the latest Meshtastic firmware to the device and customize the settings. If you don’t have a LoRa radio\, you’re still welcome to attend! \nNote that we have two antenna options: The slim antenna is smaller\, and fits neatly inside the Heltec LoRa32 V3’s plastic case. The other antenna is slightly too big for the case\, so you’ll need to attach it to the outside with a rubber band. The larger antenna comes with an SMA adapter\, making it easy to swap in different antennas in the future. \nRegister:

SUMMARY:PHL Virtual Meshtastic Meetup
DESCRIPTION:We’re hosting a virtual meetup on Tuesday\, May 16th at 7 p.m. to help Meshtastic users get connected. Our goal is to make a wireless chat network across the PHL area using low-power LoRa radios. \n➡️ Jitsi Meet Link\nTo join the Meshtastic chat\, you’ll need a LoRa radio such as a Heltec LoRa32\, LILYGO LoRa32\, or LILYGO T-Beam. Here’s a full list of compatible devices. If you don’t have a LoRa radio\, you’re still welcome to join the meetup. \nHere are a few things we’re hoping to accomplish: \n• Flash the latest stable Meshtastic firmware\, version 2.1.5.23272da. \n• Decide on a channel setting (e.g.\, Long Range Fast or Very Long Range Slow). \n• Discuss Meshtastic device roles (client\, router\, router client\, etc.). \n• Set up a shared encryption key. \n• Chat! \nHere’s our zine on LoRa + Meshtastic from summer 2022\, which is now slightly out of date. We’re working on a new version.

SUMMARY:☀️🔋 Let’s Make a Solar-Powered Chat Network (overflow workshop)
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, May 14th at 1:00 p.m. we’ll re-run our workshop ‘Let’s Make a Solar-Powered Chat Network’ for anyone who didn’t make it to the workshop the day before. We don’t have funding for this event\, so you’ll need to buy a solar chat node kit from the shop (details below) or bring your own hardware. \nHere’s the workshop announcement: \nWe’re looking for help to build a wireless\, solar-powered chat network across the Philly area! Are you interested in learning about off-grid solar power? Do you have a sunny place on your roof\, in your yard\, or near an upstairs window where you can leave a small radio transceiver? This workshop is for you! \nYou’ll assemble solar-powered LoRa node\, mount it in a weatherproof enclosure (provided by you)\, and use the Meshtastic app to start sending encrypted text messages. Here’s what the kit contains: \n• Heltec LoRa32 v3 w/case\n• 5V 6W monocrystalline solar panel\n• TP4056 battery charger module w/ header pins\n• 18650 lithium-ion battery\n• Battery clip\n• MCP1700-3302E low-dropout (LDO) regulator\n• 100uF electrolytic capacitor\n• 100nF ceramic capacitor\n• Micro breadboard\n• 1.25mm JST connectors\n• DuPont jump wires\n• USB-C cable\n• USB extension cable\n• Heat shrink tubing \nThis workshop includes some light soldering\, suitable for beginners. We’ll provide soldering irons and lead-free solder. If you don’t feel comfortable soldering\, we have a solder-free option for assembling the kit. \nTo complete this project\, you’ll need to bring a weatherproof enclosure for your LoRa node. An opaque\, light-colored material is best to keep the temperature down. Avoid metal containers\, which may block radio communication. At the workshop we’ll show you how to cut a hole in the bottom of your enclosure to pass a power cable through. Here are some items that would make good enclosures: \n• a plastic ammo box from Harbor Freight\n• a waterproof container for boating\, such as an Otter Box\n• an empty Gatorade bottle painted white\n• a food storage container with a good seal\n• a plastic bucket with lid \nRegister:

We’ll have routers\, switches\, servers\, and plenty of Ethernet on hand. \nFor this month’s meeting\, we’re asking folks to make websites ahead of time that they can share on the network. All you need is an HTML file called index.html and any additional pages and image files you want to include. If you want\, you can upload your tiny website using the form below (max size 5MB). \nMaking a website ahead of time is optional. If you’ve never used HTML before\, you can start with this guide. For design inspiration\, check out this gallery of GeoCities homepages from the ’90s. \nPhoto CC-BY Andrew Russell \nUpload your website in advance (optional):

SUMMARY:Meshtastic 101
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, April 30th at 6:00 p.m. we’re hosting an introduction to Meshtastic\, an application that lets you send private text messages over the air using pocket-sized LoRa radios. \nHere’s a link to our zine on LoRa + Meshtastic from 2022. (We’re currently updating it.) \nIf you have a LoRa radio (or reserve one below)\, we’ll show you how to flash the latest Meshtastic firmware to the device and customize the settings. If you don’t have a LoRa radio\, you’re still welcome to attend! \nNote that we have two antenna options: The slim antenna is smaller\, and fits neatly inside the Heltec LoRa32 V3’s plastic case. The other antenna is slightly too big for the case\, so you’ll need to attach it to the outside with a rubber band. The larger antenna comes with an SMA adapter\, making it easy to swap in different antennas in the future. \nRegister:

SUMMARY:Raise the Sun: A QTBIPOC Zine Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Raise the Sun: A QTBIPOC Zine Workshop on Friday\, April 21st\, 2023 will combine the spirit of Iffy Books’s zine collection and the aesthetics of solarpunk. We will discuss our relationships with the sun across our cultures and identities. We will learn how to make our own zines to share those experiences as we imagine and realize better worlds aligned with solar embodiment. We will center the ways in which QTBIPOC are leaders in the climate movement as we exist and breathe as our radical selves. \n\n\n\n\n\nPeople who identify themselves as both Queer and/or Trans and with Black folx\, Indigenous folx and/or People of Color are invited to participate in this workshop. A QTBIPOC space is a step towards ensuring these resources are accessible to groups that have been historically marginalized and are disproportionately affected by climate change. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is open to folx at all levels of experience\, whether this is your first time hearing the word “zine” or you’ve got a personal distro running out of your bedroom. We’ll have zine-making supplies to share\, but you may want to bring your own scissors. \nBased on responses to a pre-workshop survey\, Iffy Books will remain open during this event. But the workshop will be for QTBIPOC registrants only. \n\n\n\nRegister:
