cross post of Would any one be interested in joining a distributed laboratory?
It would have a public website with an inventory of laboratory locations, collective inventories of the members, documentation/knowledge base, members contribute with operations recommendations, network for a parallel distributed system, sensor nodes for stuff like weather/lab conditions, schedules of lab and computing resource availability for operations proposed by the community, datasets/online resource sharing etc.
The goal would be to create a helpful environment for DIY science, and a secure network for people with the same locale to share equipment, chemicals, materials; and for people outside of those locals to contribute computing power/datasets.
I'm a hardware/distributed systems engineer with a biochemistry friend, we've been toying with the idea for a while.
This is a great idea, but I don't really have any equipment I could help with.
Start a chat server or whatever you want to use for communication and I'll join.

can you tl;dr this please some of us don't have 30 minutes to spare

I have a few scopes, some bench multimeters, signal gens, power supplies, a VNA, and a spectrum analyzer in need of repair but I'm not interested in sharing. Knowing the idiots here they'd probably end up breaking stuff and most of it cost me a small fortune.
Samuel Moore
Holy fuck the hackers are back!
Set up something and I'll try to contribute.
Christopher King
someone will inevitably infiltrate and start mining
Caleb Edwards
cryptomining that is
Colton Young
As opposed to... mining for coal?

you don't have you share your equipment directly to others, you can share/rent out your services as a lab tech or any good documentation you have
