Where to find the Code-Op

Wow, thanks for the stickies! Love all the activity in this thread. I love our coding comrades!


Hey fellow Hexbearions! I have no idea what I'm doing! However, born out of the conversations in the comments of this little thing I posted the other day, I have created an org on GitHub that I think we can use to share, highlight, and collaborate on code and projects from comrades here and abroad.

  • I know we have several bots that float around this instance, and I've always wondered who maintains them and where their code is hosted. It would be cool to keep a fork of those bots in this org, for example.
  • I've already added a fork of @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net's Emoji repo as another example.
  • The projects don't need to be Hexbear or Lemmy related, either. I've moved my aPC-Json repo into the org just as an example, and intend to use the code written by @invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net to play around with adding ICS files to the repo.
  • We have numerous comrades looking at mainlining some flavor of Linux and bailing on windows, maybe we could create some collaborative documentation that helps onboard the Linux-curious.
  • I've been thinking a lot recently about leftist communication online and building community spaces, which will ultimately intersect with self-hosting. Documenting various tools and providing Docker Compose files to easily get people off and running could be useful.

I don't know a lot about GitHub Orgs, so I should get on that, I guess. That said, I'm open to all suggestions and input on how best to use this space I've created.

Also, I made (what I think is) a neat emblem for the whole thing:

Todos

  • Mirror repos to both GitHub and Codeberg
  • Create process for adding new repos to the mirror process
  • Create a more detailed profile README on GitHub.

Done

Today on the Xi’an city wall, I upgraded to Robot Dad. These rental exoskeleton legs transformed the usual kid-carrying grind into a fun—albeit tiring—adventure. Now I’m petitioning for robotic arms to be developed next. The future can’t come soon enough for my exhausted shoulders.

How a $10 part and some 3D printing filament just exposed a $5,644 fraud — and why the people profiting from it are quietly rewriting the laws to make sure it never happens again.

A Marine Lance Corporal figured out how to replace a $5,644 military antenna part for ten dollars using a 3D printer. The Marine Corps saved $600,000. Within months, the lobbying organizations representing Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman killed Military Right to Repair in Congress — in a closed door meeting, no cameras, no public vote.

That's not a coincidence.

This video connects the dots between the death of Military Right to Repair, the wave of 3D printer control legislation moving through California, Washington, and New York right now, and the real reason micro-manufacturing in the hands of normal people is being legislated out of existence.

It was never about firearms. It was always about who controls manufacturing — and what happens when you don't need them anymore.

This wasn’t a software launch. It was Europe rewriting who controls the digital layer beneath its economy.
