startup digest

replace light bulb stick

by Jake

one of the 8-foot fluorescent lightbulbs in the fixture in the south-east corner of the room needs to be replaced. it's the bulb on the west side of the fixture (the bulb with the blackened end) and it's causing the ballast to overheat and shut off regularly. please get the super-long free-standing ladder (it might be on the stage) and set it up next to the fixture, at the north end of the fixture so you can access the end opposite the spring-loaded contacts. Then push the bad bulb toward the south end to free it from the north-end contact, and carefully lower it down. replacement bulbs are in a box in the room between La Commune and the Ballroom, which is also between the two staircases that go to the upstairs kitchen area. You will need a key to access the room. There also may be new lightbulbs in a box in sudoroom/CCL or perhaps in the basement, or you can steal one from one of the fixtures in the basement labeled "ballast" if it has bulbs in it, but doesn't light up. If you access the supply room to get the bulb, you should consider putting a transparent sheath over the bulb, with the black plastic endcaps over both ends, before installing it. And tape to keep the endcaps from falling off. thank you -jake

Wanted: your Hackerspace Design Patterns

by Mitch Altman

I submitted a proposal for a talk at CCCamp 2015: an updated presentation of the Hackerspace Design Patterns. It was accepted! tl;dr: Have you observed a Pattern (what works well, and what not so well) at your hackerspace that you think others can benefit from? If so, please share it with me, so I can share it with others in my talk. Design Patterns are generalize-able statements of what works well and doesn't work so well -- so that others can learn what may work well (or not so well) for them. The original Hackerspace Design Patterns was presented at CCCamp 2007 and 24C3 when there were only ~40 hackerspaces in the world. Here's the original Design Patterns (which are way worth reading!): http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Fahrplan/attachments/1003_Building%20a%2… These patterns directly inspired the creation of the hackerspace movement. Now that there are over 2,000 hackerspaces listed on hackerspaces.org, it's time to update the Design Patterns to include 8 years of additional collective experience -- and present them at CCCamp 2015. FYI: A somewhat updated version (that needs more updating) of the Hackerspace Design Patterns are listed at hackerspaces.org: https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Design_Patterns Do you have any observations of what works well, and what doesn't work so well at your hackerspace (or any hackerspace)? Can you state it in a way that may be generalized so that people starting (or running) hackerspaces may benefit from your observation? If so, please send me your observation, and I'll incorporate it into my talk. My 30-minute talk at CCCamp 2015 will include some old and some new examples. After the talk we will have a workshop on Hackerspace Design Patterns, and really get into what works well, and doesn't work well at hackerspaces. I'll take notes, write it up, and post it so that everyone starting or running a hackerspace can benefit from our collective experiences. Thanks, Mitch.

Unpacking Windows Executables

by lewis_black

Hi all! I'm on linux and would like to see the file contents of an .exe file (from the terminal): Here's what happens when I run the file command: $ file some.exe PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, Nullsoft Installer self-extracting archive I've found several GUIs online which will run on windows and do the disassembling, but would love to just be able to unpack from the linux terminal. I've tried decompressing with bzip2, xz, gzip and no success. I'd figure I'd ask around if anybody has done this in the past. Thanks, -Luis

Re: [sudo-discuss] Rannette attacked someone physically for the second time

by johanna faust

@Wild Cat, way to go keeping level headed, its inspiring. even though i am not one of the individuals involved, and especially because i have at times found myself treated in a similar, if mild comparatively , way, (what a twisty sentence) *ahem* would like to apopolgize on behalf of humanity, which apparently has been acting reprehensibly. i am sorry. We monkeys are trying to get this sorted out -- we have to, and, i may like to see other ppls side of things mostly, but in this case any asshole or idiot who thinks otherwise is just plain wrong. wrong to treat you badly and wrong not to spend that precious energy and time helping to sort out the mess we call the human condition. I offer this even though you are a stranger, for being level headed, because it is my belief that the most levelheaded monkeys are our best hope of averting nuclear war or a similar, stupid fate.

Hacking at sudoroom tomorrow? (non-member)

by Stephen Whitmore

Hi there, I've been to sudoroom a couple of times for JS Study Groups and was very excited to find sudo's views on tech and social justice seem to resonate with my own. The space seems really cool and friendly and I'd love to spend some more time there and meet folks: I have tomorrow off and was thinking of coming by to hack on some projects for part of the day (July 2nd). I was thinking of heading over early afternoon (maybe around 1200h-1300h). Is anyone going to be in the space tomorrow around then that can let me in and feels like showing me around? Thanks! -noffle

We all go through this

by Romy Ilano

Adam We all go through these issues. We've all been there I attempted to work on a children health eating idea a few years ago. I was was also burned out Engineers don't immediately respect you if you look like a young girl despite years of experience ; having money is so important ; People give advice but it's not always correct; there are lots of cool people who who'll help you ; Start up events are important but you must prioritize ; you'll meet a lot of people but it's important to filter politely ; this stuff is hard; if people find out you're working on a Health App they'll aggressively push 1500 calorie greasy burritos on you; Unfortunately there are a lot of cultural forces at play ; companies do not really make money when people eat less and get healthy ; most major health problems can be solved in the U.S. By avoiding most processed and fast foods not by buying more healthy food ; exercise doesn't really make you that much healthier compared to avoiding most snacks and standard American diet Like Marc said take notes. Usually most of your thoughts are wrong often you're right I came out of it learning how to code, avoiding making html 5 apps, lost a marriage, a boyfriend, still nearly bankrupt but I learned a lot!
