Updated list of things I haven't finished, but keep adding to:

- DIY space station
- DIY Laser cutter
- DIY Open source camera
- Long range spacecraft
- Small submarine
- Human cloning
- Full cyborg body replacement
- Floating sea habitat
- Hacker bunker
- DIY computer
- Wood stove
- Cabin in the woods

So the project that comes closest to a decent open source camera is the AXIOM project

Except for the physical sensor itself, the hardware appears to #opensource. So is the software

It seems to be mostly a complete project including the lenses

Unfortunately, the whole thing is very expensive. Way outside the budget of most film hobbyists

But I wonder if it's possible to make some of the components less expensively

@freakazoid Oh sorry, that's my mistake. I should have been more clear. Yeah, open source hardware is a pickle for the most part. There's just so much money going into fabs, it's probably the last place they'd release it

@freakazoid There appears to be DNG capture for it licensed GPL 3.0

Not quite the 24MP of the Fuji, but there appears to be an #OpenSource image sensor as part of the AXIOM project that delivers 12MP and 4K capability. It's also APS-C albeit smaller res

This is an interesting perspective

“If you are interested in the future of the internet (a popular synonym for economy), study deeply what's going on in Africa right now. Its way more futuristic than anything silicon valley has to offer. A master class in resilient network design for post climate change realities.”

I wonder if not having infrastructure was a blessing in disguise. Normally, you’ll be pulling out what exists to upgrade. But if nothing exists, your only hard limit is funding

@mdhughes Man, I’m the opposite (except cheese, which is the food of the gods). I love milk. I think it’s all the processing that takes the flavor away

When I was in Sri Lanka, I had a chance to have fresh milk and it was delicious. Obviously, the problem is hygiene and if I didn’t trust the farmer, there’s no way I’d have any

This is the new FujiFilm mirrorless X-T100

It has a 24.2 megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor that can give pretty nice 1080p and 4k video (limited to 15fps in the latter). This style of camera body has been the classic as far back as I can remember

The things is, the specific combination of components is hard to put together, but the individual components (body, lens(es), adapters, software) are possible to duplicate individually

CNCs that can churn out decent parts are around. Sensor is the issue

@freakazoid Good question. If they were intolerant, that explains a lot of the disdain too
