Hey meshers, In yesterdays meeting, we discussed a couple of open issues namely: https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/4 (can't connect to netflix) https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/5 (syslog logging on home nodes) and https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/8 (intermittent dropping of tunnel digger sessions) I've marked these issues with label "help wanted" and other appropriate labels like "firmware", "exit node" or "outreach/communication". These triaged issues/bugs can be found through https://peoplesopen.net/ helpwanted . How can you help out? 1. If you are interested in fixing issues, have a look at https://peopl esopen.net/helpwanted for some selected issues. 2. If you are aware of an issue but don't have time to fix it, please please document and label the issue such that others can pick it up. Please review existing issues at https://peoplesopen.net/issues ) before opening a new one to avoid duplicate issues. 3. If you are familiar with (parts of) our projects and feel like cleaning out stale / out-dated issues, please have a look at https://pe oplesopen.net/issues and help close out issues that have been addressed and label issues that need attention. If this is confusing, don't know where to start or if you have other ideas on how to encourage folks to help out, please contact me (or someone else!) offlist. Hope this helps, -jorrit

Part number is AG9800M and they're made by Silvertel here's the datasheet: https://www.silvertel.com/images/datasheets/Ag9800M-datasheet-miniature-iso…

BYOI and net neutrality

by Hilary Naylor

Hi all, Watching the excellent panel discussion (great moderating, Mai!) at BYOI yesterday < https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VaFFFw0hndQ > I was struck by the connection to a conversation with my colleagues at Tech Underground about setting up Internet/Intranet for small nonprofit organizations. We learned that AT&T's fibre 25/25Mb plan has an issue where you can only use the Arris BGW router they provide, and that this router will reboot itself whenever the NAT table sees more than 800 TCP sessions. 800 is pretty much normal for a group of about six people. So even though AT&T promotes this setup for organizations up to 25 users, it is not. The router reboots itself when 800 is exceeded, so everyone loses connectivity. The limit may vary depending on unknown factors, but also exists for Comcast small business customers, e.g. the limit is 2000 on the device provided by Comcast, but that the device itself eats up 700 or 800 sessions, before any traffic from the network has even been hooked up to it, leaving maybe 1200 for users. With a dozen staff, plus people's cell phones and VoIP phones, it hits the limit and crashes the router once or twice a day. Online research turned up a couple of people attempting hacks: 1. Super-linux-geek hack: http://blog.0xpebbles.org/ Bypassing-At-t-U-verse-hardware-NAT-table-limits <http://blog.0xpebbles.org/Bypassing-At-t-U-verse-hardware-NAT-table-limits> (basically, the hack is to take the DRM traffic to the AT&T router, and everything else to the router of your choice.) 2. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r29898675-U-Verse- Business-NVG585-NAT-limit We think AT&T is trying to reduce the number of customers who will try to share accounts, and live with the reduced bandwidth. TCP session limits are a big hammer solution to this problem, but it's one of the fall-outs of having "net neutrality" rules. If they can't rate-differentiate sources, ISPs will manufacture artificially handicapped hardware. thanks Hilary --- Hilary Naylor, Ph.D. www.a2zed.us Oakland CA

b-roll from tonight's event

by jacques revera

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gssNlRp5EfbA4lBir1n9Gv07eYa3KBex?us… You can download some clips from tonight's event I shot with my iphone for b-roll. I shot through the demonstration tables to the stage in most of these clips. So, most have a demo table and part of the stage in the shot. I think a still frame could be good for social media. More video coming tomorrow. Jacques

Proposal: Co-Invest in 15' Step Ladder

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings Omninoms/sudoers/CCL'ers/meshers, Last week, Omni's tall A-frame ladder disappeared from the entrance hall (if anyone noticed someone exiting the building with a ~13' wooden ladder, lmk). Robb and I did a bit of research, and ladders that tall are hard to come by and fairly expensive. This 15' A-frame Little Giant seems to be the best bet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00064C4SQ/ Our scaffolding is bulky, takes time to set up, and doesn't reach the ceilings in the ballroom, entrance hall nor sudo/ccl. A bucket lift is ~10x more expensive, and wouldn't be able to access some parts of the building we'd use it in. With a ladder this size, we could use it for working on the ceilings everywhere - and mesh could use it for our Sunday node mounts. The cost is $674.80, so I'm proposing the following financial split: * Omni - $330 * Sudo - $115 * CCL - $115 * Sudo Mesh - $115 Ideas on how best to securely store it? Please let me know asap if there are any blocking concerns or better ideas. I'll bring it up at the next sudoroom and mesh meetings and hopefully someone can bring it up at CCL's. <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

simple name discovery on mesh

by Jorrit Poelen

Hey! I've been helping to setup a mesh demo for this Saturday's workshop, and got some raspberry pis running on the mesh serving simple web pages. I've attempted to document my experiments here: https://github.c om/sudomesh/babeld-lab/blob/master/services_guide.md#use-case--- raspberry-pi-as-wired-mesh-node-via-home-node . For tomorrow, what would be an easy way to get folks to visit "cow" at http://100.65.20.66 and "chicken" at http://100.65.26.1 on their phones/laptops after connecting to the peopleopen network via some ssid/wifi? Curious to hear suggestions. thx, -jorrit PS Please note that links above only work if you are using a peoplesopen.net connection.

by jacques revera

Sounds good Jenny. I will be around for a bit after 7pm. If Robb can email me jacquesrevera(a)gmail.com, I will give him my cell number so we can figure out the best way for me to help. Jacques ~ "You cannot break all the chains, except one. You cannot say you want to be free of exploitation and oppression, except you want to keep the oppression of women by men. You can’t say you want to liberate humanity yet keep one half of the people enslaved to the other half. The oppression of women is completely bound up with the division of society into masters and slaves, exploiters and exploited, and the ending of all such conditions is impossible without the complete liberation of women. All this is why women have a tremendous role to play not only in making revolution but in making sure there is all-the-way revolution. The fury of women can and must be fully unleashed as a mighty force for proletarian revolution."
