TOmesh and sudobuilds machine

by G Gallo

Hi y'all, So I've been out of touch for a little while. During my trip, I had a lot of time to clear my head and talk with people outside our little bubble in the Bay. Specifically, I had the good grace to meet with some of the folks working on TOmesh in Toronto. They had lots of great ideas and an interesting perspective on what it means to be a "mesh network project", I'm excited to get back to Oakland and try to share some of their thoughts. Anyway, one idea from TOmesh I really liked, was the their mission to make all of their hardware, software, and code entirely ship-able. It's an idea that has bounced around our group a number of times under the nym, "mesh-in-a-box". For us, we are so far along, that we would have to completely rethink, or at least simplify, our project to make it fit in a box (quite literally). TOmesh has the benefit of being a younger project, but also they started, from my understanding, with different base assumptions. That is, they did not assume that everyone has access to (or knows how to use) git or can reach openwrt packages or fulfill docker's strange dependencies (an irony considering docker's raison d'etre). So they have assumed positions as educators, teaching the skills and concepts related to networking, privacy, and security with a limited focus on the real, physical implementation. Then I saw the recent difficulties with building the firmware. This all got me thinking about the way we share knowledge and collaborator with one another. It has also has encouraged me to propose a project that has been mentioned countless times. I would like to try building a firmware building machine. I realize some of the group might see this as constructing big-bad centralized-server that controls all the firmware running on the mesh. However, I encourage you to read my proposed requirements or add your own to the issue or by responding to this email thread. https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/111 I've previously worked on similar projects (albeit in a Windows environment), and I think I'll have a good amount of time to work on it come November(post-disaster radio proposal). We'll be needing help with hardware selection, *nix sys admin knowledge, and content creation and documentation writing. Key to this idea, is that it should not be seen as centralized solution to a decentralized problem, but rather a way of off-loading some of the knowledge currently centralized in a few individuals. Hope everyone is doing well in the Bay, I look forward to getting back. Thanks, -grant_____(@paidforby)

More on gotenna and mesh’s own emergency tenna

by Andrew Cawley

So there is not much bandwidth beyond text, but what would be the difference between more bandwidth? Is it simply a space/antennae size issue or can this be tackled with software? Is anyone coordinating satellite launches for our own antennae into space yet? Do you have a minimum size/effectual range quotient? Sending all my love sudo A

Re: [Mesh] mesh Digest, Vol 57, Issue 15

by Eve Edelson

Thanks for this good advice, Marc! Meanwhile I will be out for a few weeks, sick this week & running weirdfilmfest next Tuesday, and possibly/probably in Unsafe Networks, where the advice will come in handy.

Roof anchors

by Andrew Cawley

Someone had a question about roof walking. They are about 20 bucks it’s a metal eye you can tie a rope too you lift a roof tile, attach to something solid like a stud which can be found at joints on the roof or every 24 or 16” inches.. attach rope with bowline if not used to knots, attach to harness, voila you’re a piñata if you fall. lol. but hell if the roof is less than 8/12 pitch, just walk it, normal shoes should be fine. I’m very glad to see progress down there, you guys have such an awesome attitude. The guide is coming along well, and is almost ready to be released. If anyone wanted to get on board the apis are finished and working on UI now, could always use help (: I have property here by Portland and in Joshua Tree where projects have begun. I have housing if anyone needs it, is what I’m saying. Much love A Sent from my iPad

mesh routers can't opkg install kmod-usb-acm

by Jake

i'm trying to use a mesh router to operate a duck coop door, and this means i want the USB port to recognize an ACM serial port. This is a normal thing for openWRT and usually works thusly: opkg update # downloads opkg package lists to /tmp opkg install kmod-usb-acm # installs a kernel module for ACM serial USB devices unfortunately, there are some problems with present mesh node firmware (including a node that was flashed in December 2015 and another which was flashed recently) and this process doesn't work. for starters, the opkg.conf on mesh nodes is messed up - i'm not sure why but there's a github issue here: https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/108 to get "opkg update" to work, follow the instructions in the first comment. That works for me, but when i do "opkg install kmod-usb-acm" i get the following error: # opkg install kmod-usb-acm Installing kmod-usb-acm (3.18.23-1) to root... Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/generic/packages/b…. Collected errors: * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for * kmod-usb-acm: * kernel (= 3.18.23-1-b2f200610f46d20ef52d269421369d0c) * * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-acm. # uname -a Linux jerkey-tl-wdr3500-2 3.18.23 #1 Fri Dec 25 00:14:49 EST 2015 mips GNU/Linux i have no idea what this error means or why it's happening, can anyone offer advice? thank you, -jake

Crow Funding for Students (Q'eqchi', Kiche, and Mam) in Guatemala

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello Sudoroom folks, I hope you don't mind me sending this email to the list, but I hope some of you could help these students. Please, when you get a chance, see the details+images on this page I put together. https://www.youcaring.com/help-escuela-chajsaquil-recover-from-flood The short version is that, on October 5th, a tropical storm flooded the Escuela Mixta Official Barrio Chajsaquil and their already old furniture got ruined even more. How I learned about this is because I joined their Facebook group after meeting its principal and knowing the building itself when I was traveling in Guatemala in Dec. 2016. This time I was wondering if you know of someone/organization/company that could help the school economically to bring these students new desks, and other needed school furniture. The list its in the fundraising page linked above. If so, please share the link and this email if you want. In regards of donors wanting a tax exempt form, I am in the process of getting approved by OmniCommons. So they can be the financial sponsor; so Omni be the one sending the money to the school. We are open to the person/organization/company also being the direct donors to the school itself. The school location: Escuela Official Barrio Chajsaquil San Pedro Carcha, Alta Verapaz Guatemala Thank you, and thank you for all you do to make this world a better place. Sincerely, Daniel Arauz Cell: 415.336.9143 <(415)%20336-9143> Signal: 415.336.9143 <https://whispersystems.org/>
