A photo of the KeebDeck Keyboard keypad and dome sheet. The dome sheet has many domes visible through the white plastic, and 8 black pieces of tape to cover where the backlight LEDs would be. The Keyboard has 69 keys with the usual PC layout, and a few extra ones color symbols and colors.

A photo of a device composed of two PCBs sandwiched together with a silicone keypad in the middle and poking through the front PCB. The keypad has an ortho layout with most keys of a PC keyboard. It also has some extra colorful macro keys at the top. There is a Solder Party logo on the Meta key as well as in the middle of the top row. The silkscreen reads "KeebDeck Basic, arturo182, Solder Party". The two PCBs are held together by four Phillips-head screws.

The wait is finally over, we're happy to announce that the KeebDeck Keyboard and our first product using it, the KeebDeck Basic, are now available for sale from our @lectronz.com store! ⌨️

Michael Mann to Bill Gates: You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Thanks, here's what someone else who actually studies the climate has to say about the Gates memo: thebulletin.org/2025/10/you-...

Meshtastic: A Tale Of Two Cities If I’m honest with myself, I don’t really need access to an off-grid, fault-tolerant, mesh network like Meshtastic. The weather here in New Jersey isn’t quite so dynamic that ther…

A comparison of #Meshtastic #LoRa nodes in rural and urban environments. It sounds like the use of LoRa for community networks is steadily growing.

Hacktoberfest and the OSI: Growing Open Source adoption October is here, which means it’s time for Hacktoberfest, the annual celebration of Open Source contributions hosted by DigitalOcean and friends. The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is proud to be once again a community partner of Hacktoberfest this year, helping to amplify participation and welcome new contributors to the Open Source movement.

Hacktoberfest provides a friendly, structured way for people to make their first contributions to Open Source, turning curiosity into meaningful participation. https://opensource.org/blog/hacktoberfest-and-the-osi-growing-open-source-adoption

I should also mention that the OpenFlexure project is here on Bluesky. @openflexure.bsky.social

Open Science and Epistemology with Haris Shekeris - Part 4 Part 4 of my conversation with Haris Shekeris, and is the last in this series. Haris and I wrap up our conversation about epistemology, democracy, open science, how people work together toward a common goal, and what Haris envisions as a potentially better system for all these things. I have found Haris to be a very open-minded person, who is interested in discussing these topics, and many others. Please reach out to him if you would like to discuss these ideas more.

Part 4 of my conversation with Haris Shekeris, and the last in this series. Haris and I wrap up our conversation about #epistemology, #democracy, #OpenScience , human collaboration and what Haris envisions as a potentially better system for all these things.

Andrew Thaler | Patreon creating tools for ocean science, education, and conservation.

We're coming down the home stretch of OpenCTD version 8, the finest DIY oceanographic instrument ever made. A few final hardware validations and I'll be ready to launch.

This update has been entirely supported by Patreon. Help us make the tools of ocean science accessible to everyone!

Is the conductivity sensor the most expensive item in the parts list? All of the ones I've seen are very expensive.

The OpenCTD can be built for as little as $400 (I know, it used to be $350, tariffs are really hurting the small technology fabricators) and can be built, calibrated, and maintained by the end user.

Open Science and Epistemology with Haris Shekeris - Part 3 This is part 3 of a conversation with Haris Shekeris. This episode will make the most sense if you listen to part 2 first, but it can be listened to stand-alone as well. Haris talks more about democracy, gives his “elevator pitch” for why democracy is important, talks about the importance of transparency and active participation, and explains the “democratic moment”. This conversation was recorded via Jitsi, and there were some technical issues leading to things like echo and a few drops during the conversation. Those have been cleaned up as much as possible and my hope is that it will not detract from the information being shared by Haris. This conversation was originally recorded in the summer of 2024.

Looking forward to KiCon Europe this week! Should be a great event. pretalx.kicad.org/kicon-europe...

Designed and rendered a measuring scoop using #build123d and #blender respectively. The user inputs a target volume for the measuring scoop, and then scipy traverses the search space and finds a scoop with the matching volume. There is a lot of potential in this kind of design optimization approach!

Open Science and Epistemology with Haris Shekeris - Part 2 A conversation with Haris Shekeris about his thoughts on epistemology, open science, open source/hardware, and how humans work together. This is part 2 of a multi-part conversation in which Haris talks about democracy, hawks and doves, and a possible healthy ratio of those in societies. This conversation with Haris was recorded during the middle of 2024.

Part 2 of a conversation with Haris Shekeris about his thoughts on #epistemology, #OpenScience, #OpenSource, and how humans work together. In this episode Haris talks about #democracy and how different perspectives (hawks and doves) fit together.

An aside: journalism exists in an attention economy where demand drives editorial decision making. If you find something you enjoyed, learned from and that moved you, share and share widely -- even four days late. I, and others, don't get to keep doing this stuff if no one reads it.

Open Science and Epistemology with Haris Shekeris - Part 1 An introduction to Haris Shekeris and his thoughts on epistemology, open science, open source (and open hardware), and how humans work together. This is part 1 of a multi-part conversation with Haris which was recorded during the middle of 2024. Future parts of the conversation will be released over time.
