One of the projects I have built is Minetest server. As I didn't need a graphical user interface for this, I just used the lite version of the Raspbian operating system.
As a result, there is no nice graphical help to help users connect to Wi-Fi or other networks
The wpa_cli command utility helps to connect to a wifi network from the command line, taking information such as SSID and passphrase and connecting to the required network.
Once installed you can run wpa_cli and it will go through the connection process.
There are some instructions here that should work, but it depends on your individual usage needs.
At the library, there is a need to connect via a captive portal, so this method may not be suitable, but for other networks it should be fine, one of the reasons I want to get something up that can provide a local network for playing games, where an internet connection isn't required.
I have now set up a Minetest server on a Raspberry Pi. This works and I am able to ssh in to the Pi and start remotely.
I have also set up a 3.5” Pi screen, set the pi to auto login and display the IP address(s) of the Pi. I followed some of the instructions at [2],[3] to set up the screen but didn't need the sections for setting up the gui.
The next step is to set up a router so try and provide an internal network at the library for playing minetest. I followed so
HFD is a global celebration of Free and Open Source Hardware (FOSH). Our mission for this celebration is to enlighten the public worldwide about the advantages of using high-quality FOSH in education, government, at home and in business — essentially, for all conceivable applications! The non-profit group Hardware Freedom International spearheads HFD on an international scale, offering resources, giveaways and a platform for collaboration. However, it's the volunteer teams across the globe that tailor the local HFD events to make a lasting impact within their communities.
This year, hardware freedom day takes place on April 20, 2024
A link to this was posted to the Fediverse today. So I am sharing here as it is still Science related.

So back to some Physics videos, what is space-time?: This video does a really nice job of explaining this in a way that is understandable, but not so simple it loses any meaning.
I have included links to wondorium below, as well as links to the usual discussion forums.
Useful article on 'How to Assess Peer Review Quality'. This was posted to the Fediverse, EASE @EASE@mstdn.science. Important topic, you can read the article here on Google docs.
