cloud services that promote data privacy?

by Benny Lichtner

Usually I think of cloud-based services as necessarily antithetical to user data privacy, but telegram doesn't seem to think so. They claim to be very interested in privacy (read here: https://telegram.org/faq#q-what-are-your-thoughts-on-internet-privacy) and also not to currently be or ever become motivated by profit, but they store most of your data (encrypted) on their own servers for convenience (easy access, search-ability, etc.) Is user data safe with promises like these? Is the threat of legal action enough to guarantee that an organization like Telegram is indeed practicing what it claims to be practicing? https://telegram.org/privacy --Benny p.s. Either way, it's nice to see user privacy get so much attention.

Needing someone with Switching and Routing experience

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, We have physically connected two switches: HP and Cisco (I believe), via CAT6 cable. One switch is located at the Server Area and the other on the second floor (which will be used to connect computers that can be used by the public in general). THE CALL: The layer one part is done, but I feel that someone else with more switching/routing knowledge than me should check this two switches for any possible misconfiguration. I am not keen on this, but I could help someone that can lead this part. Please let me know if someone else already done this, so I can drop this part and continue with the rest of things that need to be done on the second floor.

2nd Floor - Server area cable done + Relocating HP 24 port switch

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Okay folks, the run from the second floor (where the public computers area) to the server area has been done. It took me a few hours, moving like molasses, but it is done! :) * One end has been terminated at the Server area patch panel port 32. * The other end of the cable was terminated to a female RJ45 connector (without a box, because I didn't find one). I WILL BE MOVING HP SWITCH UP THE WALL: I noticed that a HP Procurve 24 port switch was left on top of one of the desktop computers; but I will move it up to the column above this table, so members and visitors don't mess with it. -Remember, this switch is feeding a connection the door lock system and, I believe, also the bookstore register area. And we really don't want those two connections to lose connections, just because someone unplugged the wrong cable or unplugged the wrong electrical cord or etc, etc. I will be updating the chart by the patch panel at the Server area to reflect this new connection.

Flutter boards beginning to ship!

by Marc Juul

The mesh will soon be receiving two flutter boards since we funded their kickstarter. These are 900 mhz fairly long range low bandwidth (i think up to 1 mbps?) boards that can be programmed with a modified Arduino IDE. These would be pretty good for a low-bandwidth disaster recovery mesh, or for sensor reporting. I'm sending this mail to start people thinking about possible uses. Here's their kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flutterwireless/flutter-20-wireless-ar… Here's my old write-up for the DisasterRadio project for inspiration (currently in suspended animation): https://sudoroom.org/wiki/DisasterRadio -- marc/juul

ISO people to go the Pride Parade OR to work at the Omni. :)

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, I am free until 3pm or so and I would like to use that time by going to the Pride Parade or by working in the Omni. Pride Parade:I can meet you at the Omni and then we can take BART. Omni: Well, this will be work, running the network cable from above La commune register area to the Server area. Please let me know if interested on doing any of the two.

Should we take about 20 used Aasus Eee PC 1201n Netbook donation?

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, here are the deets: CONFIG: Intel Atom CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz x 2 2GiB RAM HD 243.9 GB STATE About five or so years old machines. -All of them need new keyboards, and about 4 of them need new displays. REPAIR CO$T: Some people won't mind typing on the keyboard holes, while we buy the keyboards, oh yeah, the cost. I ran a quick search and each keyboard is between 7-15 bucks each. WHY? The current owners don't like them, besides that they been vandalized (Users removed keyboard keys from all keyboards, and about three w smashed displays). Besides that they feel that they run too slow for the software they would like to use. MY TAKE: My take is that for Sudoroom they will be just fine. I brought one home to test and installed Ubuntu 14.4 LTS 32Bit (they may take 64Bit) and it is running fine while browsing, emailing, IRC-ing. :) WHAT IS THE THING? There are two thing, a) I cannot be the Sudo representative. b) The process usually takes about a month - two months to get it completed; so we can start getting the ball rolling next week. Daniel p.s. of course we should get it! :) -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Omni Network Wiring

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Sierk (a potential new member) and I came to the omni to finish the run that somebody started at the basement, but walking around we saw that there are more things pending. I am planning to be here for a couple of hrs more or less. Anyhow, I started a list of things to do ( https://pad.riseup.net/p/omniwiring ), in case someone would like to add more items or see what is pending: OMNI NETWORK WIRING - LIST TO DO June 27, 2015 PENDING RUNS: * From the computers by the kitchen to the Server Area * From Server area to Basement TERMINATIONS: * Cable that come from the door at the corner to the computers in the second floor. OLD RUNS THAT NEED TO BE RE-DONE: * The phone line (I am 50% guilty of this lousy run) needs to redone at least from the CCL to Server room. * A white cable comes from the basement and goes under the door to the Server area. NOTE: people know that there is a 16 port switch under the 3D printers.

3D Printing Area has a Switch now - Network Access

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, For those working by the 3D working area here a few notes. 1) For your convenience and to help to clear up some of the extra cables in the vicinity a 16 port switch has been installed under the 3D Printer table. 2) All the extra network cables removed from the 3D printing area are now in the Server area, if you need them. 3) The red and black color electrical cable that was feeding power from the basement has been relocated. Now the power is coming from the Server Area; but this should be considered a TEMPORARY solution, since it should be better to have a formal electrical outlet instead. Thank you Sierk (he is not in this list yet), for helping; very appreciated it.

Scuttlebutt
