T hey’ve also become a source of frustration for many. Strict regulations govern the use of cameras in the Netherlands\, established by the Dutch Da ta Protection Authority (AP). Despite the guidelines\, many smart doorbel ls are installed in violation of these regulations\, but the police rarely intervenes. They’d rather want you to register your camera in their opt -in database. And every time the doorbell’s motion sensor triggers\, it saves the footage to the cloud... that belongs to Amazon\, Google or Eufy. No wonder neighbors feel being "watched" the moment they step outside.\n\ nCan we still use the smart doorbell’s fun functions without all that cr ap? .zip resident Roos Groothuizen and hackerspace Tkkrlab founder Dave B orghuis will teach you how to make your own (responsible) smart doorbell w ith no ties to Amazon\, Google\, the police or the government.\n\nIn this workshop you will learn:\n- How to use (surveillance) cameras in responsib le ways\n- How to work with a Raspberry PI\n- How to work with circuitry ( buttons\, sensors\, etc.)\n- The possibilities of 3D printing cool doorbel l cases\n\nAbout Dave Borghuis\nDave Borghuis is a software developer\, pr ivacy advocate\, and founder of the Enschede-based hackerspace TkkrLab.

It embraces the DIY spirit of the early internet\, a llowing users to build custom sites using HTML\, CSS\, and JavaScript with out ads or corporate restrictions.\nIts simplicity\, nostalgia\, and focus on creativity have made it especially popular among artists\, indie devel opers\, and those seeking an alternative to social media’s algorithmic f eeds.\nRecently\, Neocities has gained traction as a hub for digital self- expression\, retro web aesthetics\, and communities prioritizing personal ownership over centralized platforms.Read more about the web revival movem ent here.\n\n\nHosted by: Roos Groothuizen\nTo hell with boring-ass brainr ot scrolling on Instagram\, let’s handcode our own sites again\, filled with cool pictures\, funny texts and cute games. Did you know that’s rea lly easy??\nEvery month\, we get together at .zip to work on our personal sites with HTML\, CSS and Javascript. When we get stuck on difficult codin g challenges\, we have each other to help out. At the end of the night\, we’ll show off our pages\, and join each other’s ‘webrings’.\n\nPS : Making a personal site on free hosting platform Neocities was the motiva tion to start this event series (it’s nice\, you can follow each other a nd it has a cool online community!).

The design challenges are based on needs and ideas voiced by pa rticipants during the Technology in Public Spaces unconference held in Jan uary with one central question:\n\nHow can we re-use existing public soft- and hardware to better connect local communities?\n\nParticipants will wo rk in small teams to rapidly prototype 'ghost hardware': speculative\, low -threshold technologies that intervene in public spaces. All prototypes wi ll be presented at the Speculative Futures Evening on 2 April\, hosted by Anouk Geenen and Julieta Matos Castano at the Municipality of Rotterdam. D uring this follow-up event\, each prototype will form the basis of a specu lative fiction scenario or use case.\n\nParticipants join one of three tea ms (4 people per team):\n\nִׄ˚ • ˖ ⭑ Team One: Sensor Network to C ommunication Mesh ₊ ⭒ *ೃ༄\nExplore how environmental sensors can f orm a local messaging network focused on neighbourhood safety.

During the 'unhackathon' th at followed on 27 February\, participants redesigned public technologies a round two of the previously identified topics and created new speculative technologies.\n\nDuring our meetup on 2 April\, we will introduce two spec ulative technology concepts that emerged:\n\n One of them imagines a publ ic transport experience where your daily tram or metro ride becomes a shar ed space for urban poetry\, questions\, sounds and stories created by fell ow travellers.\n The other explores how technology could help people shar e experiences of public space\, as if the city itself had senses that coul d capture and transmit moments to others.\n\nThese two concepts are specul ative prompts to help us think differently about how technology could supp ort connection and care for place and for each other.\n\nThis time\, we wi ll explore these ideas\, reflect on them\, and imagine the kinds of future s they might inhabit and create. We will do so in an active format\, where we will specifically focus on placing the discussion in the context of Ro tterdam. What could we learn from them about how we design technology and community life today?\n\nYou do not need to have attended the previous eve nts to join. If you enjoy inspiring conversations with a diverse group of people\, imaginative thinking\, and an informal and creative atmosphere\, we would love to see you there on 2 April!\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i0.wp.com/zipspace.nl//mnt/ssd/wordpress /2026/06/Garagesale1.jpeg?fit=1531%2C1531&ssl=1 CATEGORIES:meet-up END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20@zipspace.nl DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260421T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260421T220000 DTSTAMP:20260412T092033Z URL:https://zipspace.nl/events/neocities-coding-night-3/ SUMMARY:Neocities Coding Night DESCRIPTION:During Neocities Coding Night\, we teach each other how to use html/css to build our own personal sites on Neocities.

And what a utopia that is: Constantly tai loring your content to their algorithmic rules\, while no one can even fin d your posts because of that same algorithm. Oh\, and if your politics don ’t align with big tech\, you might find your account suspended without r eason one day.On top of that\, social media has become so dominant in the world of communication that many small venues don’t even have a website anymore—you can only find them on Instagram. That’s gotta change!We’ ve concluded that we’re tired. Tired of platforms\, tired of constant ma intenance\, tired of all the obstacles. We want to organize cool events\, while knowing that people actually get to see our love and labor.prikbord. page offers an alternative information route. This website is accessible t o all\, built by and for venues\, and both the code and the server are wit hin our reach in Rotterdam.prikbord.page has:\n\n no algorithms\n no str ict curation or difficult delivery specs\n multiple ways to post your eve nts automatically (e.g. through your website or Stager)\n a print functio n that turns a single event or calendar into a funky poster for you to pri nt (!)\n a quirky design ideology\n an open-source repository: our code can be adopted by other cities if they wish\n\nThe first version of prikbo rd.page will launch at Roodkapje West on Friday\, May 29\, in the afternoo n. Do you organize cultural or artistic events\, and/or do you have a nich e audience? Or are you someone who loves visiting these spots?Join the lau nch! With your feedback\, we can assess what the site still needs. This is your chance to co-design prikbord. We can also connect your venue to the site while you’re there.
