Hello Folks,
It has been several days now that I am not on PON. The private network is
fine, it is just the mesh side that is down.
And, I feel that perhaps the latest patches may have broke this particular
node model. I have a TP-Link TL-WDR3500.
If someone in this list has the same node model, please, let me know if
yours is working.
Many thanks in advance,
--

my house in West Oakland needs internet service, and so far the only options I
know of are DSL (sonic/LMI/AT&T same wires) or Comcast Cable.
I just called Unwired and got a quote from them, details pasted at the end of
this email because why not, but it's not a good fit.
My house happens to be meshing with two other houses right now, and it has a
tall enough roof that we could put more signals up there, so if the mesh
project wants to share a fatter pipe with my house we could certainly …
[View More]do that.
I just don't know who to call though.
I talked with LMI (a reseller of the same AT&T DSL lines) and they said that
Fiber is still anecdotally about 6 months out.
thank you
-jake
Unwired says it looks like they should be able to service us
$49.95/mo residential
bandwidth is 10Mbit down / 3Mbit up shared bandwidth, you can generally get
those speeds but they're not guaranteed. we carefully manage our
oversubscription rates. rates never go above those numbers.
16 down / 6 up for $89.95
22 down / 9 up $129.95
onetime charge for installation $100
equipment $162 purchase and you own it, ubiquiti 5AC M400 powerbeam
if you run the cable, we might be able to reduce the price of the installation,
but you can only use the equipment provided by us.
30-day satisfaction guarantee or we would refund all costs to you
if you wanted to rent equipment it would be $19.95/month but that would be dumb

Hi Folks,
Here is a preliminary skeleton for localization via nearby BSSIDs.
Plenty of work left to be done, and I'm still trying to find a good way of
testing it, but I thought I'd throw this out there.

Hi everyone,
I'm Federico Capoano, some of you may know me for my involvement with
Ninux, NetJSON, OpenWISP and contribution to several editions of the
Google Summer of Code with Freifunk.
OpenWISP has been accepted into the Google Code-In:
https://codein.withgoogle.com/organizations/openwisp/
By participating in this program we hope to attract many new young
contributors in the world of open source networking, free wifi and
similar topics.
We aim at proposing easy tasks related …
[View More]to documentation, tutorials,
fixing small code issues, UX improvements and so on.
We are looking for mentors that share similar goals with us and want to
get involved, for those of you that are following the NetJSON
development or using some OpenWISP tool, this would be a good time to
start contributing!
We are also open to accept mentors that want to propose tasks that are
not directly related to NetJSON and OpenWISP, as long as they are aimed
at creating an ecosystem of interoperable tools for community networks,
free wifi and open source networking.
Important notes:
- we want mentors to take care of the tasks they propose
- please read the GCI rules, in particular section 2, 4 and 5:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/contest-rules
- take a look at the tasks proposals we are working on (we will export
this collaborative spreadsheet to CSV) and import it using the GCI API:

Hi,
We are starting a mesh in Paris and we are looking for hardware
recommendations. We have been looking at the Ubiquity devices so far. Do
you have any other brand to recommend ?
Which antennas/device would you recommend for the following scenarios
(each scenario being independent):
* Outdoor Long-range connection (>1km) between two devices with Line of
Sight
* Outdoor Area covering: one device (AP) at high altitude proving access
to multiple end-points in a square/park/building
What do …
[View More]you usually use the following for:
* Picostation
* NanoBean
* NanoStation
Have you ever played with the Unify Mesh hardware ?
Thank you,
Keoma

You have all probably already heard about the wifi KRACK attack. If not,
here is the lowdown:
https://www.krackattacks.com/
sudowrt is also affected. What this means is that your private wifi network
is... potentially a lot less private.
I started work on a fix here:
https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/109
but I ran into a build issue which maybe Grant knows how to fix?
https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/110
Hopefully we can sort this out over the …
[View More]next day or two.
In the mean time node-operates may want to disconnect any sensitive devices
from their private network. As always you should be using end-to-end
encryption for all communications. Install the HTTPS Everywhere
<https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere> browser extension if you haven't.
For situations where end-to-end encryption is not viable, using a VPN like
Mullvad <https://www.mullvad.net/> is a good idea.

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 …
[View More]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)

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
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.

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 …
[View More]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

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 …
[View More]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...

advice?

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 …
[View More]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
