Normal opening hours are:
Remember to check the open status indicator here on the website before dropping by, since it's not guaranteed that anyone has arrived yet. Or just ask on IRC/XMPP.
We are also listed on spaceapi, which has phone apps available. Just search for "spaceapi" wherever you get your apps, install any one you like, then search for "Umeå Hackerspace".
Today we (tms, jonasbits, GINYFB and baader) sorted and packed stuff that had already been deemed trash and sent it to the great beyond. Some of the stuff was donated to Returbutiken.
There are still some more things to get rid of, like the old broken flatscreen TV, lots of …
Now that the pandemic is effectively over (or is it?) members have been returning to the space and noticed that lots of stuff has mysteriously accumulated over the last couple of years. Mostly in the form of cardboard moving boxes containing mysterious things. Luckily some members have been picking up …

Our spaceapi endpoint has been broken ever since asbest broke. Yesterday we spent some time fixing it. Our endpoint now lives at https://umeahackerspace.se/spaceapi.json.
For those unaware, spaceapi enables apps and other websites to query our space whether it is open or not. In particular, Android and …
English version further down.
Nu när pandemin börjar lugna ner sig så har vi återgått till normala öppettider. Alla medlemmar och presumtiva medlemmar är välkomna! Även öppetstatusen på hemsidan och på IRC fungerar igen. Öppetskylten däremot måste fortfarande lagas.
Now that the pandemic is winding down we are returning …
Regular visitors may have noticed that this website has been down for a few days, as well as IRC still being down. This is because the server that has been running most of our services, asbest, died a few days ago after 18 years of operation. In honour of this …
We have collaboration fixed.
After three years of no one really caring about it, the blog is now alive again! Members can now edit it by cloning the www.git repository on asbest, editing then pushing the result back. Hooray!
Som det blir ibland i gamla hus så har vi nu trasiga rör i Spacet som läcker. Husets vatten (alla lägenheter) kommer från detta rör så det måste fixas omedelbart. Rören går inne i väggarna så vi kommer behöva för både våran och lerstenens del att plocka bort så mycket …

I recently bought a used Nexus 6. It was factory reset by the previous owner which apparently in recent versions of Android means that Factory Reset Protection may cause the new owner to be unable to initialise the phone because a previously signed in account is required.
However, the protection …
Vi ordnade problemen med servern för några dagar sedan / We fixed the problem with the server some days ago
Vad tar vi som förening gärna emot som donationer? Vad vill vi inte ha? Vad har vi?
Pga lite disk och överbelastad server är GNU Social-tjänsten tillfälligt avstängd medans vi fixar problemet. Detta för att inte webbservern ska gå ner. Detta förväntas vara fixat någon gång nu i helgen.
Due the server being low on disk space and being overloaded the GNU Social service is temporarily disabled …
