A section where I will insert what I've been learning during XPUB years. I will try to make it legible, both for my future self and possible external readers.

COMMAND LINE

# = draft stuff

#What's the command line?

#Commands are programs

#there's a command about how command work

#yes, you can "man man"

#Chaining things together (Piping)

#Input and Output

#Order of execution

#Never remove "/"

BASH

Scripting commands

HTML, CSS, JS

We finally got here, where I don't know how to autonomously spawn stuff on my own but can understand most things. The method that I am using to some of these things together is opening an "about:blank" tab and writing stuff step by step in the console.

HARDWARE MISC

Last year in March I found an old computer in my basement, my grandma used it mostly to send emails and apparently. I also remembered using it, so I wanted to check it out, but when I tried to turn it on, the screen did not start at all, but I was sure that it worked because the LEDs were on.

...This was my introduction to: don't think about it, buy a new one. Turns out the new one was way worse than the old one, costed more, and was frustrating to use outside of the box.

...I started reading through the iFixit news section, and through there most of my questions or concerns were clarified, like basic do and don't in terms of safety (for devices and for people).

...I am planning to try to hint a bit more at the fact that these basics are knowledge you can build and if you want, expand, that even if the steps are

..I had in mind a broader plan:

1. have together moments @xpub where we collectively open our own devices we dust them off, and then close them back again (maybe change the thermal paste), nothing too crazy, no compressed air needed in my opinion, so this breaks dowwcomplex

2. have broader walk-ins on the 4th floor where, after some basics skillshare we form multiple tables where people can come with their devices and together we look them up

3.

all in all this is highly dependent if point 1 is manageable. There a 4 gens of mac laptops and I remember hearing and skimming around that Apple is not easy to deal with when talking about hardware. But, remember to fill this entry when you're sure this can be a pain. Anyways, I'm interested in how this things could be distributed, I am thinking of gatherings and get-together moments that then self-replicate, instead of keep these things centralized maybe making the source On The Go could help create lesser ones, independent and localized.

TODO: ☻ Ask around in the interaction station if one or more tutors already have done this, or if they have equipment laying around, a tube of paste for example.
