Hi there, It's been a while since I've chimed in here. For those who don't know me, I used to be involved in Sudo Mesh/People's Open between 2017-2020 until the pandemic kind of slowed everything down. I'm writing because I'm one of the core organizers of DWeb Camp, an event organized by the Internet Archive about building a better, more decentralized web. This year it's happening for the third time this June 21-25, 2023 in Mendocino at Camp Navarro: https://dwebcamp.org/ We've always had a … [View More]

Illustrated walkthrough for flashing "raw" Aruba AP175 boards

by Martin Kennedy

Hi all, I'm sharing this info in case other communities outside of Newport Wireless Mesh may find it useful. The Aruba AP175 is a high-power, stable, electrically protected outdoor access point that I recently ported to OpenWrt, and I hope other communities might get good use out of it. It's old hardware, but very available, and for multiple reasons will likely enjoy long-term supportability (ath9k, 128M RAM / 16M NOR). Newport Wireless Mesh will continue to use Aruba AP175s that I have … [View More]

Resuming Sudo Mesh

by Jonathan Cadle

I'm definitely up for helping out with Sudo Mesh, though to be frank I don't know that much about the topic in terms of expertise. I'm happy to be an extra pair of hands, and read up on anything I need to get caught up. Jonathan

Re: [sudo-discuss] Fwd: Re: Re: [omni-events] changing our internet to Monkeybrains

by Jake

Monkeybrains has expanded their coverage a lot since we last checked, and they believe they can hit one of their many uplink sites from our roof, and we'll find out tomorrow! You should come hang out on the roof with us!!!!!! Monkeybrains is also solar-powered (at least the Oakland facility) AND most of their vehicles are electric, so I'm guessing they're more eco-friendly than LMI :) and don't forget, LMI is just reselling AT&T...we are literally connected to the deathstar right now :( … [View More]

Re: [omni-events] changing our internet to Monkeybrains

by Jake

I have scheduled an installation appointment for Tuesday February 14th at 2PM, and I'll be at the building to facilitate this process. Since I only heard back from one person about my proposal, and our present ISP charges us like $155/mo and I am confident that Monkeybrains will charge us less for better service (and even more aligned politics than LMI/AT&T) I expect that unless Monkeybrains is unable to connect us (it's all wireless point-to-point links) we will be switching over to them … [View More]after the install.

Re: [sudo-info] We should test out the microwave internet link

by ajay t

replying partialyl to myself, partially to jake below.. And if it wouldn't work to do a p2p link, how far can we get, and maybe find some allies on the way? (eg the apt bldg across the street that used to have gear?) Per gMaps it looks like a straight shot, however are there hills, tall buildings, trees, etc? Is there a way to ascertain this online? In the meantime, I just did a quick G street view, and it looks like the building right across on 47th and perhaps a billboard or 2 might be the … [View More]

Re: We should test out the microwave internet link

by ajay t

Hi friends! I hear the Omni's call for faster internet (Gigabit fiber!), and The Long Haul in Berkeley has fiber, and we have no budget to pay for it anymore. It's through LMI. Would any folks on this list be interested in getting together to see if we can do a point-to-point link from Omni to Long Haul? warmly, ajay
