I kinda don't want the normies getting access to the top tier stuff, that's how it gets taken down ...

Then again, probably not many normies here

IMO, there should be resource sharing but no step by step guides so simple a kid could follow them

no feedback on this? Still struggling to find an answer

Hey! That's my principality!

Here's a map to satisfy your curiosity: https://www.google.com/maps/place/33589+Covadonga,+Asturias,+Spain/@43.312553,-5.0595534,18.46z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0xd49df5f8662f05f:0x1c9adf9d5f25fbf9!8m2!3d43.3123308!4d-5.0593809!16zL20vMGhfams?entry=ttu

The site is tied to a very interesting tidbit of European History. You may know that during the 800's Spain was conquered by the Umayyad Islamic caliphate, and their European expansion was stopped by french Hero Charles Martel "The Hammer" ... well they never did manage to conquer the north of Spain that was mostly mountainous land inhabited by Christianized Vishigoths.

The Cathedral of Covadonga is the site of the last stand of King Pelagious of the Visigoths against a much numerically superior Islamic army. Next to the cathedral there is a small chapel built INTO a cave under a waterfall, the Visigoth army survived on honey from the cave and whatever else they could forage and defeated the caliphate invaders in part by throwing rocks at them from the heights.

This battle was historically significant because it was the first meaningful Spanish defeat of the Caliphate and it kicked off the "Reconquista" (The native Spanish reconquering of their own land)

To this day we have a saying that translates into "Asturias (the province where this site lays) is Spain, and the rest is conquered land" (Asturias es Espana y el resto es tierra conquistada)

This site lays in the Cordillera Cantabrica (Cantabric range) which has a lot of beautifull sights, not far from here lays the "Lakes of Covadonga" which are two ancient glacier lakes atop the mountain range and the highest elevation lakes in all of Europe.

Please correct any inaccuracies I may have committed ... I'm currently on the clock and didn't have time to double check all the info. Mostly going from memory.

Also feel free to ask any questions, I'm a local that has since moved out of the country and I'm really excited to share my province in my online community.

That shit has been a battle for the best part of two decades .... Can't believe it finally happened

Wololo

The problem is most of us techy people that care about open source are introverts ....

Try meeting some normies via websites like meetup or local hobby communities.

I've had good luck meeting fellow computerphiles because we're in the same circle of friends and we even have our own events now IRL (LAN parties, retro arcade nights, programmer trivia nights etc)

look into chipless printing.
