[Vanhackspace] Internet service at space

[Alexandre Harvey]

I'm planing a electric stike (thats the lock to buzz ppl in/unlock the door)
for the VHS space if it works out maybe we can convince the landlord and do
it for the building.

Its about 35-40$ for the strike, the catch is installing it can be a
troublesome.
