Yann Büchau :nixos:<p>A self-documenting key storage system. You want the garage keys? Insert your name tag to unlock it. Done? Put the key back, free your nametag.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/keyguardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>keyguardian</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3dPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>3dPrinting</span></a></p>
Yann Büchau :nixos:<p>Working on a more useful evolution of the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/keyguardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>keyguardian</span></a>, my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3dPrinted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>3dPrinted</span></a> XOR mechanism thats useful e.g. to unlock garage keys with a name tag for auto-documentation who took them.</p><p>This compact board houses 20 of these XOR pairs, so 20 keyrings could be tracked. But I also think this could be turned into a rad <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/boardGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>boardGame</span></a>, what do you think?

Yann Büchau :nixos:<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@adamsdesk" class="u-url mention">@<span>adamsdesk</span></a></span> I have a ridiculous pile of keys on several rings, attached with a thin but long rope to my belt with a screw-lockable carabiner. Looks ridiculous and regularly destroys my pockets, but losing or dropping keys is one thing I never want to worry about ever again.</p><p>I also designed this <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/keyGuardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>keyGuardian</span></a> for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3dPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>3dPrinting</span></a> to organise keys others also need to use and force everyone to document who took which key:</p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/793767-keyguardian-dual-key-xor-mechanism" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">printables.com/model/793767-ke</span><span class="invisible">yguardian-dual-key-xor-mechanism</span></a></p>
Yann Büchau :nixos:<p>Anyone thought of turning the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HoneycombStorageWall" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HoneycombStorageWall</span></a> into a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BoardGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoardGame</span></a>? </p><p>It just came to my mind that e.g. with my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/keyguardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>keyguardian</span></a> [1] XOR-mechanism one could make a pretty interesting tangle-untangle-logic style game by connecting the keys with strings as in the video.</p><p>Any more ideas? The HSW seems like a cool base for this.</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/793767-keyguardian-dual-key-xor-mechanism" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">printables.com/model/793767-ke</span><span class="invisible">yguardian-dual-key-xor-mechanism</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>

Yann Büchau :nixos:<p>I used the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/keyguardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>keyguardian</span></a> to organise these keys. I added a version with a paper label slot and some printed name tags. Works very well! 👍 </p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HoneycombStorageWall" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HoneycombStorageWall</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/hsw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hsw</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Screwiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Screwiverse</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3dPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>3dPrinting</span></a></p>
Yann Büchau :nixos:<p>I finally made it: an XOR mechanism that requires exactly one of two keys to be inserted at a time.
