『she hacked you』 is like a pokèmon, evolving into a larger + more complex community project

SHY originally was only free educational computer science courses streamed live weekly; needing music for the stream, it became a music project, needing a community to tie everything together so there would be students and not an empty stream; I begun social media presence like on mastodon.social. Then overtime that has begun to change what the project is and means; and it has become more of a community.

Will it work? Who knows, probably not, but we can only know if we try

About Us

A community primarily made of various scientists, makers, hackers, communists, socialists, ecologists, mycologists, journalists, artists, arsonists, writers, environmentalists, witch apologists, engineers, activists, narco-terrorists, night-timers, day-dreamers and party-crashers

Different backgrounds, and beliefs; but what binds us together is the concern/care for other humans, and other creatures around us. Refusing to be bystanders in our universe

Objective facts are important to us b/c of our feelings

All languages/cultures/nationalities/identities are welcome: please join us and share your unique perspective, thoughts, posts, and interesting links

Rules

Essentially none; you are free to be stupid, free to post just about anything

Our goal is to mimic freedom of expression found on the early internet; but that is also freedom to endlessly ridicule, embarrass, insult and shame if you create stupid or hateful posts

But preferably, cultivate Interpersonal communication skills, be comfortable when incorrect, and learn from other people

Racist, fascist, and classical nazi to neo-nazi-- will wish you got banned; instead of consequences like suddenly bricked devices

Creating a database and search for physical objects (lemmy.world)

I was first inspired by this concept when reading the book Makers. Have you ever read the book "Makers" by Corey Doctorow?

He had a very clever solution which I wanted to try; bought the parts but lacked the motivation. Because the person I do projects with is very detail oriented and organizes things very well.

But the concept was you put an RFID on every physical item you want to index. Then you put a reader in a collection of bins. Then you just randomly put the items in the bins without thinking about how its organized.

Then you can write software to be able to do a search of your physical items that have the RFID (or even the newer low power Bluetooth would work too, didn't exist at the time of writing the book).

So when doing a physical search, the idea is that it lights up the container its in, then you can go directly tot that container and obtain the physical item without needing to do any organization.

I have other ideas; but that one is the first one that comes to mind, I highly recommend the book; and all his books, I'm a big fan. I never really got into his site Boing Boing but his writing is stellar.

If you can't afford it, or can't find it; let me know and I will post the audio book for you or the EPUB. Whichever you prefer.

With newer Bluetooth protocols, more complex versions of this is definitely possible.
