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.
This is cool and interesting, making locks from Lego. Great way to learn about the engineering principles behind locks and keys. I found a link to this on Fediverse (Mastodon) earlier, so am sharing.
We had a quiet session today so we were busy getting two computers installed with Windows 8, and another dual booting Windows XP and Windows 8. This went really well, after installing the OS we installed some applications that we want to use during sessions.
We spent the latter ½ of the event trying to sort out Wi-Fi as one of the computers lost connection, we ended in the IT suits, using the e-machines as a Wi-Fi hotspot (bridge to library Wi-Fi) so the Lenovo could connect properly.
We really DO need a reliable solution for this.
At some point we should be able to get a multi-player mine test game going as we have access to a server.
