Far away, but up on a hill - what rig should I get?

by Scott Jackisch

I am far away (Globalize node on map near Piedmont) but high up. What rig is recommended to connect into downtown? Marc Juul, is this possible? What equipment do you recommend? On a side note, I bumped into Alex Hagen of Etheric Networks at that EFF event tonight an he was open to possibly donating bandwidth. I will follow up and pester him about it. -- Scott Jackisch

Networking Class Meetup Thursday 6pm

by Max B

Hey meshy folks, As per our conversation last week, we're DEFINITELY having a networking class meetup Thursday at 6pm at sudo. This officially means that we're all accountable. The format can be super relaxed, but I would highly recommend that people watch at least the first two weeks of lectures and have tried to do the first two weeks of homeworks. If you're behind, it's ok, but we should all really try to make an effort. Also, we can try to remember to be on IRC, so if remote folks want to … [View More]

Fwd: ACTION: The Day We Fight Back -- February 11th

by Mitar

Hi! Spamming. :-) Mitar -------- Original Message -------- From: Katitza Rodriguez <katitza(a)eff.org> Subject: ACTION: The Day We Fight Back -- February 11th To: katitza(a)eff.org Dear Friends of the Internet: The Snowden revelations have provided us with disturbing details and confirmation of some of our worst fears about the NSA and its partners’ spying practices. Indeed, the NSA and its allies in five English-speaking countries have been building a global surveillance … [View More]infrastructure to “master the internet” and spy on the world’s communications. They are undermining basic encryption standards, the very backbone of the Internet. They have collected the phone records of hundreds of millions of people who are not suspected of any crime. They has swept up the electronic communications of millions of people at home and abroad indiscriminately, exploiting the digital technologies we use to connect and inform. They have secretive data sharing agreements operating outside the rule of law. But we aren’t going to let the NSA and its five allies ruin the Internet. Inspired by the memory of Aaron Swartz, fueled by our victory against SOPA and ACTA, we are joining the DayWeFightBack campaign to demand an end to mass surveillance at home and abroad. The SOPA and ACTA protests were successful because we all took part, as a community. As Aaron Swartz put it, everybody "made themselves the hero of their own story." We can set a date, but we need all of you, the users of the Internet, to make it a movement. When: The Day We Fight Back has been set for February 11th. Here's how you can join the effort: 1. Send an email to rights(a)eff.org confirming your interest in participating in this action and receiving updates.

If you are a citizen of the world, sign the 13 Necessary and Proportionate Principles here: https://en.necessaryandproportionate.org/take-action #privacyisaright 4. Use social media tools to announce your participation. 5. Develop memes, tools, websites, and do whatever else you can to encourage others to participate. 6. Be creative -- plan your own action. Go to the streets. Promote the Principles. Then, let us know so we can broadcast your efforts.
