The vending machine now provides some more feedback after money is put in.
Source code associated with my contribution is here. I haven't documented
the other components of the vending machine.

Based on the implementation details, it appears to me that
the bill acceptor is in fact plugged into one board (Arduino Leonardo)
that is connected by serial to another board (Raspberry Pi). Why is
the former board used at all? That is, why is the bill acceptor not
plugged directly into the latter board?
Hey folx, we are coming up on the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street
and so far no one that I am aware of has organized any events for the
Bay Area. Around the country other people <https://linktr.ee/occupy2.0>
have begun to plan things, open mics and art shows, vaccine clinics,
free masks, Pussy Riot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_Riot> is
even supposed to show up in Los Angeles. As you can see from the
attached video cliplet, there are people who would really like to see
something happen in the Bay Area, as well. At this point those of us who
are mulling this over are leaning towards doing something on Friday,
September 17 rather than Occupy Oakland's 10th anniversary on October 10th.
Since I am a pro at crastinating, if it were up to me, we might well
have to wait until the heat death
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_timeline_from_Big_Bang_to_Heat_Death>
of the universe before something gets organized but I'm willing to throw
gobs of food at an event if other people are also interested in getting
together for an open mic or speak out or something & are willing to put
some energy into making it happen. I can also bring an EZ-up or three
and a microphone and speaker, and maybe a few chairs and tables if we
can achieve critical mass. I could even cobble together a flyer if we
can agree on something.
Anywho, if anyone would like to help put something together maybe that
could join the biweekly rump of Occupy Oakland's GA (generally just a
few people) Sunday, August 28th at 4 PM. I believe that will be here:

Susan, I asked Jay Ponti <https://betherevolution.us/> to send me a link
to today's Zoooom meeting. I uploaded it to a personal server because I
don't know if the link he sent me was for general distribution:

I’ve contacted Occupy the Farm and Strike Debt and of course the Public Bank. Should we invite SF? If I write to Ruthie, everybody will come, so I’ll ask for RSVPs and threaten them with running out of food if they don’t reply.
If SF isn't organizing anything I think we should send them something,

Subject: [omni-consensus] OMNI NEEDS LEGAL OFFICERS
To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Please forward to your groups and collectives - Omni Commons is
seeking candidates in our officer election for 3 positions: president,
treasurer and secretary.
At minimum, folks in these positions need to have their names filed
with the California secretary of state and be available to
occasionally sign things.
At best, folks in these positions would join the finance working group
to take an active role in administrative paperwork, writing checks,
paying bills and so forth. An active treasurer would enable us to have
separation of powers between the bookkeeper and the money spender, for
example.
Your primary interactions would probably be with finance wg members -
currently me, Sarah Lockhart, John Torok, and occasionally Silver.
Like all community members, you'd be encouraged (but not required) to
attend delegates meetings on 1st and 3rd Thursdays.
As soon as we get enough interested candidates, we will hold an
election to get delegate approval.
Thanks,
Yar

Dear all,
eQualitie is seeking an experienced networking software engineer for
DevOps and infrastructure automation duties. We’re looking for someone
who knows how to build and manage cloud services with an emphasis on
FOSS solutions that we run _in-house_ <https://github.com/equalitie/>.
Our new colleague shares the company’s _values_
<https://equalit.ie/values/> and is ready to play an important role in
protecting freedom of expression and association on the Internet. In
turn, you will get exposure to and a say in the design of current and
future _defensive _ <https://deflect.ca/solutions/>_web
<https://deflect.ca/solutions/> technologies_ and _decentralized
solutions_ <https://github.com/censorship-no> for avoiding Internet
censorship, as well as personal satisfaction that your contributions
create real change for people around the world.
*Job Description*
You will work across tight-knit project teams and interface between
software developers and systems operations. Your primary
responsibilities will include building and tuning tools to improve
network availability, service performance and censorship resilience. You
will introduce common systems and processes for a variety of in-house
technologies, spanning DDoS mitigation, a clearinghouse for anomalous
network behaviour and a decentralized peer-to-peer web caching network.
You will take an “automate everything” approach, introducing and
improving automation, orchestration and monitoring tooling across the board.
*About you*
You love dashboards and hate network latency. You understand the
building blocks of the Internet and are familiar with its core
protocols, including decentralized networking. You value
infrastructure-as-code systems and believe in prototyping, fine-tuning
software configurations and performance monitoring as the primary ways
to improve an Internet- reliant product or service. You have a depth of
knowledge, experience and a passion for Internet technologies that allow
you to learn new systems relatively quickly. Also, you will have:
* Excellent Linux administration skills, performance- tuning and
server hardening;
* Demonstrable experience deploying and managing technology using
Ansible, Docker and/or Kubernetes;
* Experience with data engineering, analysis, visualization of web
traffic and network statistics (e.g. Kibana, Grafana, Icinga,
Prometheus, etc);
* Experience in network programming (HTTP, TCP/IP, UDP) with knowledge
of peer-to-peer (BitTorrent) technologies a strong asset;
* Familiarity with coding in Python (with Go and/or C++ experience a
strong asset);
* An active appreciation for reading and writing documentation!
*Now, a little bit about us…*

Reach out to me if you'd like to know more! I've had a great time
working with this team over the past 9 months, and am looking forward to
expanding the team :)
Warmly,
Hey everyone, we're doing a short study and I think someone from the
sudoroom community could be a good fit, anyone interested in talking about
your experience or know someone who fits the bill?
Do you need to share files privately with a limited and select number of
people? Are you concerned about security or access, and don't want to use
commercial providers like Dropbox? Have you ever tried setting up a
self-hosted server, like FTP, FileZilla, or NextCloud, to do this?
We're booking 15-30 minute conversations to hear more about your needs. We
are Rae and Kelsey from Simply Secure. Thanks to support from the Open Tech
Fund <http://opentech.fund/>, we're working on making sensitive file
storage, backup, and sharing much easier.
Sign up on this brief form
<https://form.jotform.com/filezilla/usability-interviews> or send an email
to filezilla(a)simplysecure.org to get started.
Thanks so much and looking forward to speaking with you soon,

I cleaned out a full trash can of moldy and rotten shit from this same
fridge a month or 2 ago. apparently it has reverted to the same state as
before. I think it is a bio hazard, breeding flies, spores, bacteria and
other organisms that we don't need in Omni Commons. I think that the best
solution would be to dispose of it.
Hey Sudo Room,
I attached Counter Culture Labs just in case as the Sudo Fridge has been
out of power for awhile and all the food basically exploded with mold and
microbactic life ?
(This is why I attach CCL to see if they want to do biohack experiment on
the new life forms popping in the Sudo Room fridge.)
Disgusting mold food pictures attached.
Lot of this food has been in there PRE-COVID ?

replace the shitty chairs around the Omni with them.
