Although not a big fan of Christmas, tradition, and Christmas tradition, Stefan used the realraum nightshift to build a lamp as a Wichtel present. The lamp features a mountain on the front side, which is lit from the inside by some simple LED setup. Furthermore, it is able to change the color of the light via an IR remote.

The process of creating the lamp involved vectorizing the image, lasercutting the pieces, rasping some small errors, soldering and glueing of all the things! So basically all important parts of realraum’s infrastructure were used in building the lamp. ;-)

Special thanks to erdbrbl, equinox and xro for their assistance, guidance, and teaching me how 2-components adhesive works.

OpenPGP workshop

Geschrieben am von

Npgp-lock-logoext Tuesday (24th), I will hold an OpenPGP workshop in r³, starting at 20:00.

OpenPGP is a (some say the) standard for providing strong cryptographic confidentiality and authenticity for files, messages, software, …

If you use an operating system that authenticates its software updates (and that is not Windows), you probably already rely on it without knowing!

You can find all the details in Grical, but here is a quick overview:

  • We will talk about what this is, and what this is not.
  • We will walk together through how to use this.
  • We will discuss best practices, and how to apply them in a not-inconvenient way.
  • Bring your own laptop, and a USB thumbdrive that you can format (even better, install Tails on it if you know how).
