It is fun. I am active in the one in my hometown near Stuttgart. We meet once a month to help people that come with their items. It is amazing what people bring and what percentage can still be repaired. On some events we had auccess rates of over 70%!

Götteborg is a little too far to travel with a cracked kitchen chair for my friend ;-) I hope @Meduza knows of a local one in Stockholm where she could get help.

Yes, it sounds like a very good initiative 🙂
I try to fix most of my family’s stuff still.
I don’t like that we are in a buy-use?-throwaway world 😕

Well a huge storm hasn’t hit , winds were in the 60 to 90 mph range. Lots of trees down and power is out. Thank goodness I didn’t have anything trying to print. But I’m told I may not have power back for 1-4 days!

Very busy as usual and a power failure at work yesterday afternoon didn't make it better.
Luckily nothing broke this time, just a bit of work to get everything up an running again.

When we had a power failure a year ago there was some sort of voltage spike which took equipment for ~$15000 with it, in our group alone, so these incidents always makes me worried..

Haven't done much interesting when it comes to printing lately.
Printed this one yesterday though: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2255308
It is a rather nice print if one scales it to 200% :-)

My position at current workplace was terminated and I was given rather extended period of 3 months to look for a new job. So I do.
In-between, preparing to give the first prosthetic hand we prepared for a kid, and we are excited!
Also printed this cute egg as Anders did, my daughter loves it, even though it was printed at 100%.

Sorry to hear about your job loss. I went through that a few years ago and quickly discovered how fought the information technology field is. Lower wages and a lot of outsourcing/ contractors.

@LePaul I just noticed the login page is not https, just unencrypted http. Something we can do about it?

Yeah, it has said not secure since day 1...I'd have to check with phpBB to see what it takes to firm that up.

And I just renewed the hosting plan today and the domain name gets renewed this week too. All the bills hitting all at once! :)

I checked (again) with phpBB. There isn't any direct support for SSL in phpBB, it is handled through the web server (easy enough if you are running Apache2 - I have it setup at work for our internal services).

But to quote the phpBB forum "why would you need SSL for a BBS?" Just don't use the same account login as you do for your banks and other more critical information (duh).

As "dumb" as this sounds, but I completely agree... https doesn't mean your data is secure. Just that the data transmission is. It doesn't protect your data to be stolen on either your side, or the hoster's.

I too agree that this is not the issue of phpBB, it is an issue with how it is deployed. The only thing that could make it an issue of phpBB is if they have something hardcoded in their code that called out to non-SSL resources if it was deployed over https.
