@xjasminelu hi, and welcome to Fedi! I wonder if you are aware of permacomputing projects and the communities around them, especially here?

[mplouffe@scholar.social]

@xjasminelu
Welcome!

[sandradejong@mastodon.nl]

@xjasminelu Welcome!

[nihilistic_capybara@layer8.space]

@xjasminelu you study electronic waste? I was not aware that's a thing you could study.

Perhaps I need to revisit my approach on what I want to do with my life.

Anyways.
Welcome to mastodon.
Glad to have you here!

If you are looking for cool people to follow @alice is a great start. She is the GOAT

oh this was me when I was a kid! I've put together tons of old PCs, servers, and network equipment from the 1990-2000 window (since I acquired a lot of forgotten junk in 2015 or so, and that stuff was comparatively "ancient" by then)... and have even managed to assemble a DEC PDP-11/20 minicomputer, IBM System/390 mainframe, and other non-computing devices by doing the same thing!

I am legitimately blown away with how far in life I've gotten on a zero-dollar budget, and I am convinced that you don't have to spend a dime to build a digital empire

Loyola is in a great part of the city! Congratulations on the professorship.

Check out the River & Roads coffee shop on Devon, just west of campus.

@xjasminelu Warm welcome to the Mastodon Sofa I’ll pop the kettle on. Have you heard about Patreon too? Both can be combined here and it is another lovely platform to network professionally. Swing over to say hi! https://www.patreon.com/posts/158135488?ut

@xjasminelu welcome
You should definitely connect with @martin who is a maker dealing with old computers refurbishment and @coralie who is a researcher working on the same topic, on infrastructure and the cost of extracting materials.
@adelfaure if you like low tech art Adel is a talented ASCII artist

I am sure they will be able to recommend other interesting people!

[catdragon@mastodon.world]

@xjasminelu there’s a person on here who has managed to solder wire onto ceramic pots. It’s brilliant.

[catdragon@mastodon.world]

@xjasminelu

@MLE_online has some fascinating information about experimenting with copper glaze to solder wire onto pottery. They seem to have invented a very successful method, I think you will enjoy the read.
