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!

It’s an advertisement, not a question.

No it’s not. This was one example of a powerful resource. Another is Libgen, and the List of Awesome

Posting the same to several communities does not help to your defense either.

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.

Hundred Rabbits is a two person collective living aboard a boat, planning for the collapse of modern technology and how we will rebuild it. They have a wonderful knowledge base about off-grid living and you can view it offline with Kiwix, a wiki reader designed for situations without internet. You can download Wikipedia, medical articles, stackexchange forums etc

Aren’t the Hundred Rabbits the UxN people ? I think I saw their work in a Tsoding stream

Openstreetmaps has 10.5 million contributors and has an open license that provides more detail and has many third party apps unlike Google Maps or Apple Maps.

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
