Our current VPS provider for our exit node (VPN) is being even more
annoying than usual. Asking us to prove that we aren't hosting specific
content for which they've received DMCA complaints.
We got two identical rack-mount servers donated via one of our members
(who'm I'd like to give credit but they may prefer their privacy) and these
should be perfect for exit node usage.
My plan for Tuesday is to set them both up with nearly identical
configurations and put one at Hurricane Electric later …
[View More]this week and
another at sudo room, though the one at sudo room can remain powered off
until the one at Hurricane Electric dies.
Then we'd run a mesh-wide update to the node configuration, telling all
nodes to switch to the new exit nodes.

Hi folks,
I'm planning to get to the omni early today and make the repairs. From the
research I've done I don't think it should take long.
I'm planning to take the broken piece to Home Depot and get a matching
piece, come back and caulk it in place.
best,
Arthur
(510)-227-7411
Grant noticed, and mentioned via Signal, that the map on the website (
https://peoplesopen.net/) is down (HTTP 502 Bad Gateway error).
Does anyone know how to fix that?
At the moment, the main link on our site (i.e., 'JOIN THE NETWORK') points
to that map, we probably want that link to work, especially considering our
workshop this weekend.
Sierk
FYI: It's not a reimbursement thing, it's a show up and fix it thing.
Unless you can bring in professional roofers to replace all the panels
with skylights of course: that would be great.
Please talk to Omni about taking care of the roof. There was a work day
flyer posted in the basement.
Whoever is maintaining the list: Please don't edit this comment or bump
down. Talking about the hands on/ community nature of the space is not
negative/ demoralizing, it's essential.

Hello,
I thought I would share this here -- Mozilla is offering a two million
dollar prize to decentralize the web.
https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/06/21/2-million-prize-decentralize-web-a…
I've been interested in mesh networks since I learned about them, and
the idea of a mesh network seems to be a very good fit for the concept
that Mozilla is putting out there with this concept.
Best,
Ian
Folks have been talking about using splash pages and captive portals. I
figured I'd summarize past sudo mesh experiences.
Neither the wifi standard nor any commonly implemented network standards
include a mechanism for logging in, paying or even clicking accept before
gaining access to a network.
As a sorta hack people have implemented captive portals where you connect
to a network but then don't gain access to the wider internet until you
perform some action.
This is usually implemented …
[View More]such that when you connect you appear to be
connected to the internet, but trying to access the internet doesn't work
and when you attempt to access a website via HTTP you will instead get a
different website showing you some sorta login or splash page. This is done
by intercepting HTTP requests and always sending the splash page as a
response, no matter what the HTTP request was. This hack was already very
problematic for headless devices since they have no way of performing the
web action required to gain access to the network.
With the widespread use of HTTPS, the splash page hack became even more
problematic since the browser upon seeing a site other than the expected
site will of course give an SSL warning due to the SSL certificate not
matching the domain name.
Devices then began implementing captive portal detection. This is bad. It's
a hack to deal with another hack. They accomplish this by requesting a web
page over HTTP from a specific URL where they know what the response is
supposed to be, and if they get a response other than the expected response
then they know they are behind a captive portal and they can present the
user with the splash page. This is implemented differently by different
devices. Microsoft devices and Android devices contact a specific hostname
(or set of hostnames) that are set aside for only doing captive portal
detection. Apple devices are different in that they try to access a web
page at apple.com. As far as I know, no linux desktop systems perform
captive portal detection. Most devices will pop up the captive portal page
when they detect the captive portal, but e.g. some android devices will
show the connection icon in yellow instead of white and will put a
notification in the notification area that can be clicked to pop up the
captive portal. This can be very easy to miss and the user might just get
annoyed that the internet isn't working. Also, some iDevices will only
sometimes show the captive portal page. It seems like they tend to show it
the first time they encounter it, but when re-connected they sometimes
seemed to sit there doing nothing. This was a couple of iOS versions ago so
it may have changed.
We previously implemented a fake captive portal, where the idea was that we
could pop up a splash page by pretending to be a captive portal by faking
out the captive portal detectors, which would cause them to display the
splash page even though the internet is fully available. This solution is
good because it doesn't interfere with headless devices.
However, this is really complicated. You have to know the IPs of all
hostnames involved in captive portal detection, and of course Apple,
Microsoft, etc. use many different IPs for the same hostname, so the IP a
given client receives from a DNS server can be different from the IP
another client gets. So you either need to constantly keep a fully updated
list of IPs for each hostname or you need to try to ensure that all clients
use a DNS server you control so you can provide fake responses to DNS
queries for those hostnames. This last solution is probably the best one
(and the one we used), but then you end up with the apple-specific issue
that now all DNS requests for apple.com end up going to the IP you provided
rather than apple.com. You can forward everything but HTTP requests to the
real apple.com IP but for the HTTP requests you'll have to filter them and
forward all of the requests except the captive portal requests based on
URL. We had several issues with e.g. iOS updates failing due to this system
being imperfectly implemented on our end.
This whole system was implemented on the exit node but it gave us quite a
few issues so I ended up disabling it until we could find the time to get
it back up.
You can find most of the related scripts here:
https://github.com/sudomesh/exitnode
with a few scripts from this system also present in the firmware.
I can walk anyone interested through this system when I get back.
Apologies for the undirected info dump but I figured it might be useful.

thank you Jorrit for talking about this on the mailing list and not on
the other platforms, l don't have a phone.
it's the Solstice today & the weather is bloody gorgeous, so l will
definitely show up later to the meeting. hopefully everyone hasn't
escaped from the heat by the then.
l've been working on graphics for BYOI and will go to the Bay Area
Alternative Press today to get the ball rolling on making fancy,
hand-made, printing press flyers.
learning stations: l imagined them …
[View More]like science fair displays, but here
is an article about 'chat stations':
https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/chat-stations/ they discuss exercises
related to feedback and modeling behaviour for participants to emulate.
worth a look.
l want to push for some sort of audience discussion about applications;
it will help us think about what to build. what Mario suggested is a
good example, but most people are probably not coming into the workshop
with an existing idea or as lucid as he. This type of discussion will
also help everyone think about what/ how they can contribute.

I just saw Mario's message to the mesh mailing list
@mario - apologies for the delay! It turned out your message got stuck
in a review queue, probably because your are/were not part of the
mailing list.
Hopefully we can chat a little more about this project at tomorrows
meetings.... here's a rough sketch of a network diagram https://github.
com/sudomesh/disaster-ping-pong/blob/master/images/disaster-
plant.dot.png we put together last week.
------
Hello all,
My …
[View More]name is Mario and I represent a plant biology group at Counter Culture Labs at the Omni Commons.
At the June 13 sudoroom meeting, we proposed a collaboration to build a 'garden widget' using the disaster radio technology with which you have been experimenting. Our hope is that you can use this collaboration to build a robust field test for the technology and we can benefit from your expertise.
An example of a closely related existing technology is the EDEN system, https://edyn.com, which uses soil moisture and an Internet connection to control irrigation. We would like to give home gardeners access to an automatic garden environment log that would include specifically light intensity and period, and temperature and moisture measurement for air and soil.
Please contact me if you have any questions, we plan to have a prototype hack night Tuesday June 20th at the 8pm sudoroom meeting at the Omni Commons if you are interested in learning more and/or participating in the project.

Adding the mesh list, as this would be a great opportunity for neighborhood
outreach, and we could set up some of the hardware and promote our next
BYOI (build your own internet) workshop on July 1st.
Unfortunately, Marc and I can't help to coordinate as we're out of town
until the 27th, but I believe Grant said he'd be down, and maybe others
would be interested?
I like the 'take stuff apart' idea, Patrik :)

The post about the Wired inquiry reminds me:
The SF Bay chapter of the Internet Society has a web site -- sfbayisoc.org
-- and guest blog posts are invited.
Would someone like to write a piece about the project?
I'm sure one of the longer-term members/founders of sudoroom would do a
better, more succinct job than me.
it would be a way of getting word out to our members.
If anyone's interested, let me know.

* jehan: I'm the guy who brings the five-pack. I've been working on the
email server and sorta made some progress with some help from marc. running
for @peoplesopen.network.
** also researching ipv4/ipv6 for fun
*** marc: going down rabbit holes... both email & ipv6 are headaches
* daniel: what about spam filters etc?
** jehan: using mail-in-a-box that has a …
[View More]bunch of spam filter stuff
* grant: working on the firmware, kinda done. need to do more testing on
the extender node firmware. also messing around with the esp286's a bunch.
programming in C and learning a lot
* scott: no updates
* bullitt: playing with ssb (secure scuttlebutt) on raspis and such. not
working for me. last weekend got on a roof and helped with installing a
physical node.
* jenny: there was $400 in our paypal account that paypal was gonna steal
due to inactivity but saved it. ~$169 for officers and directors insurance
* lesley: i am lesley and this past week helped install a roofnode.
substack helped me get a patchwork pub server running on the sudo room
sever (the one hosted in sudo room and accessible from the internet)
* eve: only useful thing i've done this week is get an adapter so i can
help daniel with ?. playing with arduino's. wanna make it flash pretty
lights
* jeff: also trying to set up a patchwork pi thing. interested in roof
mounting
* jonas: i'm not sure what you do. i have interest in mesh networking and
have been using esp8266 for two years. a year ago i wrote a lisp
interpreter for it. i really think mesh networking would be interested. i
want to use the esp to build a computer keyboard from scratch using wood
keys and microswitches. encoding is done by diodes. trying to build a
circuit board. i want to build a wifi home computer from an ESP.
* daniel: i'm helping with little things here and there. tonight I'm
planning to continue working on the equipment we got donated last week
which is to update the wireless controller and update all the APs via the
controller. I was mentioning to jenny earlier today that with this donation
we have the opportunity to install APs all over the building (we have 28).
** jehan: think it's a great idea, no problem w/ proprietary software
they're just APs
* juul: worked on DisasterRadio a bit this week. LoRa radios connected to
esp8266. can't use two serial ports simultaneously. made a telnet console
and implemented a web console. now you can console in and as soon as you
open the telnet or web console it talks to the chip. dhcp working, dns for
the most part. also a web server serving up a web app. so the plumbing is
working! now just to deploy a small chat and/or map app.
** jehan: doesn't it have a super long range?
*** juul: urban range around 3 miles. low bandwidth, very low power. 900
mhz, small packet size. Can use it for mapping out resources in a disaster
scenario.
** jonas:
** markus: part of omni welcoming group. attending hardware hacknight.
* Marc: $900-1500/month for gigabit connection from LMI, can install
hardware on the roof
** jehan: lot of money off the bat. network not in a very advanced state,
can get more practice building out network around the omni
** lesley: cumulatively that's $12-18K/yr, what about instead investing in
a server that would host some of the most commonly visited sites on the
network
*** marc: wouldn't cost any money, we have stacks of unused servers
** jehan: more you buy the less you pay, economically logical
* main link would be gigabit, spread it out at like 300mbps connections.
can spread it out enough that we can get enough people to donate monthly.
there'd be a lag, maybe 6 months, where we'd be paying out of pocket
** jeff: how many people to make it economical? like 20 people?
** jehan: lots of interest but not that much geographical
** promising leads other than LMI: BART and Laney College

[View More]home nodes do
IPV4 masquerading to IPV6 and they wouldn't need their own /26 because you
could have identical IPV4 addresses on different home nodes that way?
meaning, the IPV4 address given by DHCP by a home node is only for that node to
talk to that client, and everything goes out over IPV6 from node to node and to
the exit node (where it does reverse masquerading to the internet for IPV4
traffic)
does this make sense? i know it would be a lot of work but maybe it's a good
path forward.. and it simplifies some things, for example no more need to
coordinate 100./26 IPV4 subnets between home nodes... you could use the home
node's MAC address for its IPV6 subnet.

spaces I am organizing another Omni Sale/Giveaway. This time I am going to
market the day as a “Pay What You Can Sale”. My intent is to get as much
stuff out by giving it away and people can pay whatever they can in a
donation jar on their way out.
I’m thinking of having it 3 - 4 weeks from now.
That said, it is imperative if you have stuff in Omni common areas that you
pick it up WITHIN the next THREE WEEKS, otherwise you are agreeing to
donate the item(s) to Omni.
If your collective has stuff in common areas and wants to keep it but you
can’t move it to its final home before the sale, you must clearly label it.
All personal items must be removed, there is no personal storage at the
Omni.
DO NOT bring stuff in for this sale!!!
The last giveaway back in August was a great success and effectively
cleaned-out the basement. I am shooting to see the basement emptied out
again and ready for a tenant.
Contact me if you have any questions or want to help,
Marcus

I had thought that it might be more professional if we were able to email
people from @peoplesopen.net addresses instead of just using our personal
addresses. The current peoplesopen.net email setup is that there are
forwarding rules (you can receive mail on a @peoplesopen.net address), but
you can't send it. To be able to send emails, we need an email server.
I've set up mailinabox on a ubuntu server, it's a pretty good combo of
dovecot, a webmail interface, some spam stuff, and an admin …
[View More]panel with
status checks. It will even automatically get letsencrypt certificates.
However, setting up the DNS has proven to be very hard for me to get right.
I've set up DNS for email and websites before, but never on such a complex
setup with so many domains and things that need to keep working.
I've tried a bunch of stuff, but either webmail doesn't work, forwarding
doesn't work, or all emails from the server end up in the spam folder. Marc
has been helping me, since he has control of the DNS, but I don't want to
bother him too much if it's not a priority for him.
I'm wondering if anyone who is experienced with email and/or DNS wants to
hack on this email server with me, maybe Tuesday before or during the
meeting. If nobody is interested, I'll probably drop it for now and we can
keep using personal email addresses.
