Sudo Mesh name-dropped as resistance technology.

by Maximilian Klein

Hello All, I was reading "How to do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy" by local Oakland author Jenny Odell, an excellent book on how to reclaim your mind from the commercialization of tech. In Chapter 6 "Restoring the Grounds for Thought" sudo mesh is mentioned as an example of technology that can make the concept of "place" and "context" important again. It's a tad academic, but I thought you might like to read your fame: When I asked my friend Taeyoon Choi, cofounder of the School of Poetic Computation in New York, about a network that would allow you to “listen to a place,” he suggested local mesh networks like Oakland’s PeoplesOpen.net. The nonprofit Sudo Room, whose volunteers develop the mesh network, describe it as a people-powered, “free-as-in-freedom alternative” to centralized, corporate servers: “Imagine if the wifi router in your home connected to the wifi routers in your neighbours’ homes and they again connected to their neighbours to form a huge free wireless network spanning the city! That’s exactly what a mesh network is, or at least what it can be.”18 The volunteers add that mesh networks would be particularly resilient in the event of a natural disaster or state censorship. Alongside instructions for “building your own internet,” they provide a directory of other community networks, like NYC Mesh, Philly Mesh, and Kansas City Freedom Network. And PeoplesOpen.net’s mission statement seems to echo that of Community Memory: [W]e believe in the creation of local internets and locally-relevant applications, the cultivation of community-owned telecommunications networks in the interest of autonomy and grassroots community collaboration, and ultimately, in owning the means of production by which we communicate.19 Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

Fwd: [omni-accounts] Upgrade to blazing fast Phiber Optic Internet

by Yardena Cohen

We could have gigabit internet at Omni! LMI sent this almost 2 months ago and I'm not sure how to reply because the account is still in Marc Juul's name. Is there a way to change the account to give multiple people access to it? I just passed a Sonic truck on Shattuck on my way over here today. They're putting optical splitters to peoples' houses less than a mile up the road. It's time for us to get some of this. :) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LMi Info <info(a)lmi.net> Date: Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 1:13 PM Subject: [omni-accounts] Upgrade to blazing fast Phiber Optic Internet To: <lmi-bulletin(a)lists.lmi.net> Hello, We're reaching out to let you know that our fiber optic internet service is available, or will be available soon, at your address.

QUESTION: About newly flashed router

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello anyone out there, just flashed a router (My Net N600) using the auto-config latest version software, but the mesh SSIDs don't seems to connect, just the private one. Is the auto-config working properly or should not use it? Thanks, Daniel [Changed private SSID via browser, and root and admin passwords vis SSH.]

Fwd: Email Congress and join in the fight to #SaveEBS

by Benny Lichtner

---------- Forwarded message --------- From:The Calyx Institute <bounce(a)calyxinstitute.org> Date: Fri, May 3, 2019, 8:30 AM Subject: Email Congress and join in the fight to #SaveEBS To: sudo mesh <info(a)sudomesh.org> . [image: Tell Congress to #SaveEBS] <https://www.calyxinstitute.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3…> Dear Member, The Calyx Institute relies on the Educational Broadband Service (EBS) spectrum to provide unlimited wireless internet to members like you. However, after nearly 20 years of taking no action to expand EBS availibility, the Federal Communications Commisison is discussing how to license the rest of EBS. Can you ask Congress to preserve the education requirement for EBS licenses? <https://www.calyxinstitute.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3…> We've heard from many of you that our wireless membership benefit program has been crucial to keeping you online and connected to the Internet. We're working with our friends and partners at Voqal to ensure that EBS is used to help even more communities, families, and individuals are connected for decades to come. *Your current internet service is not at risk.* This is about expanding EBS availability to other parts of the country where it has been unavailable since the middle of the 1990s. Please reach out to your member of Congress through this link to ensure that this public resource services its highest and best use – connecting students, families and communities that would otherwise lack internet access. You can help by telling the FCC and your Congressional representatives to Save EBS here <https://www.calyxinstitute.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3…> . Thanks! Nicholas Merrill, Executive Director The Calyx Institute 254 36th Street Unit 48 Brooklyn, NY 11232 United States To unsubscribe from future mailings: mailto: bounce-u.196.6118.8ea2067a43190c77(a)calyxinstitute.org
