is there something wrong with the DSL modem or the Dell server (not rackmount) that's supposed to be serving non-monkeybrains internet? and the jitsi telescreen is not working, perhaps it's not on the internet? -jake

Hey everyone, Tonight is a weekly party, but I just don't have the energy to host these right now. If someone else does, that would be great. We have a general meeting next Wednesday, May 3rd.

4/19/23 Meeting (Jonathan)

by Jonathan Cadle

We didn't exactly have much of a meeting tonight, but progress was still made. - We talked about what to do with the recent influx of Chromebooks that came in. Most of them currently cannot be used because the Fremont School District hasn't de-authorized them yet, so they're hard locked to those Google Accounts, and can't even be properly wiped. This may resolve itself soon, as we were told they would be deauthorized soon. - Discussions about what OS we want to favor for the laptops we're giving away were also had. There's a tradeoff to be had between favoring stability/simplicity (e.g. Debian) or more frequently updated distros (e.g. Arch) which offer a wider variety of packages. - I brought in some linux install CDs/DVDs, along with a a CD of rEFInd, as I noticed we didn't have any install media that just "belonged" to sudoroom, for anybody to use. I left them on the cart under the TV; please don't take them home, so that the next person who needs them can use them too. - I also brought in a keyboard. Ideally I'd like for us to have a couple of "shop" keyboards that are kept relatively clean and accessible, so that we can use them whenever. Not sure of the best way to do this right now. - I proposed an idea to draw new people to sudoroom by offering a "learn linux" program. I'm thinking we can take some of the older laptops/mac minis/whatevers, and show interested people how to build linux systems from a minimal install (i.e. week 1: basic terminal stuff; week 2: adding a display manager/xorg/window manager; etc.) The idea seemed well received, but I wanted to see who all would be interested in participating, and if anyone had ideas about how we could let people know about this. I was going to propose doing it on a couple of wednesdays a month, or Friday if those are open. - It looks like two of the newer mac minis were found - these have HDMI ports, so they're easy enough to hook up to any monitor. Some folks wanted to keep OSX on them. --Jonathan

Tim O'Reilly on AI

by Peter Mui

“...how do we align AI-based decisions with human values?” Also: the insight of corporations as “slow AIs”: maybe governments – or any organized association of humans – are “slow AIs” too? https://www.oreilly.com/content/you-cant-regulate-what-you-dont-understand-… -Peter
