Hello, is there a phone # for peoplesopen.net that I can use on a donation request form? Filling up the form now. It will be great if I can get the number ASAP, if there is one.
Thanks,

The NanoBridge doesn't show up on the lan at all for me - if I turn it on,
usually the switch will have no link light and the feedhorn will have a link
light; unplugging and replugging cables will sometimes switch this. Other
lights appear to go on correctly (power, reds and oranges if I reset it).
The NanoBridge and NanoStation spec sheets says they expect 24v 0.5A PoE,
while the injectors I've got are 15v 0.8a, which is what the PicoStation
wants. (The wiring is the same either way, pairs 4,5+ and 7,8 return.)
The NanoStation is fine on a 15v 0.8A injector, though.
Compiling for ar71xx gets me a binary that runs on the NanoStation. Woot!
Haven't yet been able to get the NanoStation radio into master mode, though.
IIRC someone was working on open-source drivers for it under FreeBSD - what's
the status of that?
It looks like part of my patch is in the official firmware, but not all of
it - the tweaks to telnetd and ntp hotplug aren't in.
HTTP interface feedback: (running a bastard hybrid of my
firmware and the github version, as of Dec 6):
The default hostname is picostation-juul, regardless of actual hardware
platform.
On initial HTTP connection to a passwordless router, I get both a
'No password set!' message instructing me to go to password configuration
and an 'Authorization Required' dialog.
The intuitive behaviour for me was to enter desired username and password
in the big fat boxes, when apparently the CORRECT thing was
to click 'Go to password configuration': which redirects to the
identical-appearing page http://10.0.0.237/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/admin
At that point, I'm supposed to ignore 'Go to password configuration' and
instead log in, at which point I'll have both the auth config screen and
a message admonishing me to go to password configuration.
When you scroll down to the bottom and click 'Save and apply', you get
a very small notification that the password has been changed and a large
'Applying changes' animation that was still running a couple hours later.
ps showed no obvious sign of any processes related to the 'Applying changes'
message, though I might have missed something.
Typing your password twice (this time, on an actual picostation) and then
pressing enter deletes your dropbear settings. Bad from a usability
perspective. The deletion also appears to be persistent, while the big
save buttons at the bottom would suggest that dropbear changes wouldn't
take effect until you save & apply.
Recommendations:
1) Take the user straight to passphrase configuration if they try to admin
a router without a passphrase set.
2) Passphrase configuration should be just passphrase configuration; dropbear
should have its own page.
3) Status reports should be prominent and not interleaved with the
rest of the design.
4) Links should be underlined and coloured; bold alone is too subtle.
5) Call it 'passphrase' rather than 'password', so we get more correct horse
battery staples and fewer swordfish.
Excellent, maybe we can get Luis to skip work to join too ;) he is one of Sameer's former students.

p.s. reading "pop quiz" made me throw up a bit in my mouth.

Sounds rad! Marc and I are down to come. Maybe they can help us brainstorm on innovative business models for the mesh ;)
I can bring the poster, too. College kids love having something they can read and copy down in their notebooks. We should also give them a pop quiz at the end.

Hey all, got a request from Sameer Verna to talk about the mesh in a computer networking class for business students, I believe at the downtown SF State campus.
"Would anyone at SudoRoom have interest in speaking with my students in person or online abt the mesh project? Dec 12 at 2:10PM."
I think we should do it, and I'd be happy to go, any thoughts or interest in presenting?

Hi!
http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/11/silicon-valley-isnt-a-meritocracy-and-…
"Let’s say that most people can have access to computers sometimes but
only some people can have access to computers all the time, and then an
even smaller group can have access to the net while they’re just out
wandering around doing Twitter, right? They’re like, I have my phone and
I can say things while I’m walking around where somebody else has to
actually go home, to their one computer that they own. So the more that
you want to participate in this network of wealth and
entrepreneurialism, the more stuff you have to have to participate in
it. So there [are] these levels of participation that are enabled by
either being wealthier or having the free time to participate."

Calea doesn't need to mod the end modem to do interception. If you are transiting the modem, you are going through the CO, where they can tap.
Tr069 is a really nice standard for mass configuration at scale. Open source bits exist, I've not been able to play with them yet.
So the linked technologies aren't really in support of the articles main point.
Now in the case of all in one residential gateways, internal traffic is very susceptible to intercept.
My home network is setup like this
Cable modem -> pfsense edge router -> core switch (cisco 3550) -> core ap (wndr3800 running openwrt).
I've also tapped the outside of the pfsense (modem Ethernet side) and seen very large amounts of neighborhood WAN traffic. So I don't even need to be the government or telco to spy. Just think, they only need to comp some modems per neighborhood to see everything.
I run all my DNS lookups over a VPN connection to a non logging resolver in an on net facility. I've considered running all my traffic out the Colo and via tor, but I'm not that paranoid yet. He he.
Interesting article for sure. Remember that openwrt can be comped as well and WiFi can be trivially tapped.
