  • Well, There is a range of options in my opinion. They range from immediate to long term futur. They range from achievable alone to mass mobilization.

    • Reading how peoples sustained themselves during ww1 et ww2 ( start a garden, adopt chicken) but it does take more time and cost reduction is not immediate

    • Having a library of thing is a way to help community project like a community garden to do the trick

    • work in a cooperative, everyone is owning the workplace and having equal pay. It is not that we don’t produce enough, it is that capitalism is wastefull, the boss of your boss make 20 times what you do, is he 20 more productive that you?

    • Help friends and family, they often have things in surplus, than can reduce waste and give away things for free as they exchange it

    • Ask for help, you are not the only one struggling, like, we all are, i mean wtf. We all are struggling, we are not angry enough. You will be surprised what peoples are willing to do to help a stranger.

    • you are struggling against a system that is quite happy to fine with you struggling, you know what will offer better pay and conditions? Join the army! You can die and torture yourself forever defending a system that put you in such a conditions in the first place.

    • mobilize for political change, be creative! As long as you are 75% in accord with a movement, join it but do not compromise if the output is against the right of other people (except power structure like state, richs, or obviously privilegied people) lets be more equals !


  • Yes, thank you, my comments are praise and amazement towards contribution like those. There is a lot of work done and ambition it warm my heart. It is still very dangerous and experimental. And should not be attempted.

    I have far too little background in chemistry and microbiology to attempt such a project.

    Furthermore, mass spectrography (the machine that allow to know the chemical composition of a sample, which for this type of project is critical) is not open source ready (though some attempt were made and were kinda successfull)

    I do not have a personal vital need of such project, rest assured. I am still amazed of the work, dedication and selflessness that make this possible.

    For thoses that want clarification. Endotoxins are toxins that are present on the surface of bacteria. On ingestion it provoke an immune response like fever or likely an anaphylactic choc that can lead to death.


  • Thank you ! I found it ! openinsulin.org. It is even more infuriating when you know how insulin is made. As a simplification, a bacteria population double every 20 mins. So if you can get ONE bacteria that can already produce it or like the project genetic engineer one from scratch so copyright laws and patents and stuff do not apply. You want to double the production ? wait 20 mins.

    Thanks you for sharing such cools projects !!! If you have more like thoses, please continue to share, i will see if i can squeeze some € to them ;)



  • depend on the type of work or project you want to do multiples options exist. But i believe no project are science specific oriented so you will have to describe your search term in more mundane terms.

    i could recommend you open flexure. An open source 3d printable microscope. https://openflexure.org/

    The YouTube channel “the thought emporium” is open source friendly and very DIY, shoot them an email. (they automated pipeting work)

    You can look for local hackerspace. Some folk there are stupidly creative and knowledgable.

    I know multiples robots arm project exist but they assume you got some 3D printer. refer yourself to some hackerspace/makerspace

    If you have any luck, or found any goldmine tell us !!!
