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?

p.s. Either way, it's nice to see user privacy get so much attention.
Hello Sudoers and Noisebridgers,
There are about six Cisco switches that I have been asked if we are
interested on getting as donation.
The model I can read off the attached photo is:
4- Cisco Catalyst 3750 24 Ports - 2x1G SFP (transceivers not included)
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/hardware/qui…
The others 2 that I think may be:
1- Cisco Catalyst 3550 24 Ports - 2x1G SFP (fiber transceivers not included)
1- Cisco Catalyst 2850 24 Ports - 2x1G (fiber transceivers not included)
If interested please let me know ASAP, since I have to reply to the person
offering this items.
He has been waiting for three weeks or so; for us to answer. He emailed me
today again.
Thanks,
Daniel A.

Friends,
Join us for our weekly sudomesh organizing meeting tonight at 7:30pm in the
upstairs den!
We'll be focusing on documentation and design to communicate the ins and
outs of the project to the wider community.
Friends,
Lots of exciting progress has been made on the sudowrt firmware, and we
have some organizing to do!
If you can't make it in person, you can add to the agenda or follow along
with the notes here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudomesh
Looking forward to seeing folks tonight! As there's a dance rehearsal in
the Disco Room, we'll probably converge in the upstairs den.
Mesh the pla.net!
Jenny

Hi,
We noticed this:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Hosting
We think maybe Gandi cloud VPS could work as a prod node. Want to try
it? We can give you a free trial.
Let us know if you are interested.

Maybe we should sign?

Subject: [liberationtech] Call for free software projects ( and other types
of organizations ) to sign an anti-patent-troll pledge
To: liberationtech <liberationtech(a)lists.stanford.edu>
Hi,
The Calyx Institute is running a campaign to try to get 40 organizations to
sign a pledge against patent troll lawsuits directed against Linux,
Android, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Tor Project and dozens of other free software
projects and organizations
What if your organization isn't one that develops software or holds
software patents? That's OK ! We still would like your organization to
sign the pledge.
Even if you run a supermarket, a social network or a workers union, we are
very happy with your organization becoming a member of the community
supporting patent non-aggression. Open source is everywhere (from the cash
register running on GNU/Linux, the server that hosts your website and mail
or the medical equipment measuring your lung capacity). Everyone should be
able to use these open source packages donated by their creators without
thinking twice. By joining, you make a difference.
The link to the pledge, and associated FAQ's is at the following URL:
https://nlnet.nl/help/
It's really easy to do, it should take less than 5 minutes.
Just click the URL, click on the 'Sign me up' button, then fill out your
project or organization's information, and just be sure to do what it says
in the confirmation email ( which comes from a totally different domain )
The subject of the email should be something like "OIN license agreement
for you" from licenseesign(a)openinventionnetwork.com
Thanks!
Nick
