The goal of this post is to provide a hub to discover some powerful internet resources out there.

For example here’s one I wanted to share.

  • Open Source Ecology is a project for open source hardware that is significantly cheaper than retail costs. Some of the equipment include open source designs for CNC machines, windmills, tractors, plasma cutters, power supplies, motors, generators, and much more!

    Everybody on Lemmy gets kinda weird and cagey about them for reasons I could not give less of a shit about, but I have a hopeful eye on everything FUTO is doing. Some of it’s really not public-ready yet, but they seem like a good organization to me.

      Oh? I didn’t know that. They seemed like a good organization to me too. Open source hardware is quite lacking compared to the software side so I hope they succeed.

      I haven’t seen anything bad about them (haven’t been looking though). I’ve been using the futo keyboard and like it so far, the swipe isn’t great but they’re crowdsourcing the training so I have high hopes

    Not sure if it’s exactly what you mean, but the YouTube channel Project Kamp is a bunch of folks who’ve bought some land in Portugal to experiment with sustainable living.

    They have a website, in which they house “research modules” which are basically open forums for ideas about what to do and how to do it. https://projectkamp.com/

    ARTIQ (Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics)

    State of the art control system for physics experiments, for example atomic clocks or ion-trap based quantum computers. Originated at NIST.

    Open source and open hardware. Official way to install on Linux is via Nix package manager. Very awesome and very fun. Experiments are written in Python.

    Might be a stupid question, but I’d there a GNU license equivalent to patents? Could you patent something that could be used for free, but not used by a company in a for-profit matter?

          Sorry didn’t mean to cause any trouble. I collect and share internet resources with others. If you want to verify this for yourself, my post history has questions similar to this one. I removed the image to make this post more ‘generic’. I am genuinely trying to share resources. My apologies if it came across as advertising.

          I’m trying to figure out how someone’s request for others to provide additional open-source projects like this, even if cross-posted to an astoundingly vast quantity of two communities, is even remotely problematic. The post doesn’t violate either community’s rules, invites other posters to continue the discussion with similar resources, and OP has been engaged.
