Marc and I are driving back from Stanford in heavy traffic and will be
10-15 minutes late. A quick reply to this thread on whether you're
attending would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

Last night I switched the mesh over to a new exit node. The exit node is
the server that acts as a VPN for all of the traffic coming from people
connected to a peoplesopen.net access point.
This switchover means two things:
1. You won't see any more nasty capthas form google. Craigslist works
again, and so does editing wikipedia \o/
2. You may get a warning from google or other sites that you're logging in
from a new IP (since our new exit node has a new IP)
This new exit node actually has multiple IP addresses which means we're no
longer sharing a single IP for the entire mesh (so feel free to set your
torrent clients to use as many simultaneous connections as you please :p).
It's also hosted at a Tor-exit-node-friendly hosting company (psychz.net)
so we shouldn't get any trouble for running a VPN.
A few people have removed the ability for sudo mesh to remote-update their
mesh nodes and opted to manage their own nodes. If this is you and you
still want to switch to the new exit node then you can log into your node
as root and run the attached script (note that this will reboot your node).
I should note that the old and new exit nodes are interconnected so even if
you aren't using the new exit node yet, you're still on the mesh. I'm not
sure how long the old exit node will stay up though.
If you have any questions, just reply to this email :)
and as always: MESH THE PLANET!
