Hello everyone, I think we aight to have a meeting today despite the cold
rain. Who can come out?
I'm sorry I didn't call this earlier, I've just started a new job and I've
been so busy. Anyone know how useable the sudo room is with the work being
done?
See you soon, drive carefully with all the wetness.

Hi everyone,
I seem to be plagued with too many electric vehicles, from about 10-20 years
ago. They are really cool and fun to drive, but they need work and I'm out of
space and time to store and work on them.
Most of them are 2002 Toyota RAV4 EVs, which many people don't even know were
ever made. Here's the wikipedia page on them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_RAV4_EV#First_generation_(1997)
If you have a place to park a project car and interest in working on one,
please let me know. If you are a PG&E customer, you can get up to $4000
(depending on your income) for buying a used EV like this (whether it drives
or not)
I will be fixing mine and my friend's over the next few months and I can help
you fix yours too. Just let me know if you're interested.

Hi,
The roof repairs are still going on, and we are getting A LOT of the tar
debris in sudo room. We did some cleanup Saturday and Monday, but I'm sure
there will be more debris coming down, and it will be a lot of work to get
the lab benches clear again.
We put up one more tarp, but more would be great to cover all the lab
benches.
Also Thurs/Friday Free Store + CALLI (building owners) are running this
event. If Sudo Room has items wanting to give away, we could join. I'll be
there on Friday if anyone would like to coordinate.

Hi all, I've been trying to find a Mini-XLR Female to 3.5mm Female adapter
but I haven't been able to find one. There were a few on Amazon but the
reviews all said the left and right audio were reversed...
My current idea is to instead purchase a Mini-XLR Female replacement head
and solder on a 3.5mm Female head with attached cable. But I see different
cable styles attached to the 3.5mm, there is a 2 cable version and also 3
cable version? And it sounds like this is Mono vs Stereo? But the XLR talks
about "Ground, Hot, and Cold" and I can't tell how this maps onto the 3.5mm
cabling? If we have any people knowledgeable about audio cabling would love
help untangling this mystery, thanks!

I’m Hex Ripley [it / its]
I came in yesterday (nov 26) for the fix it clinic, had a lot of fun meeting y’all and working on to virtual machine set ups, working on the upstairs 3D printer, & helping come up with a solution to fix the roof rack cargo box.
I’d like to be a member to contribute monetarily and with labor. I love doing electronics repair and I want to make use of my skills in a way that can help others. I’d love to participate in the fix it clinic regularly & also I’d be happy to work on the laptops in order to get them functioning for donation, teach people some electronic troubleshooting & repair should the opportunity be available. Also happy to be additional hands on any facilities work. Basically I think y’all are cool and I’m here to be useful :)
Want to mention that I live in Guerneville, happy to drive in & also would be happy to carpool people who live in the Sonoma/Marin area as well.
Current projects I’ve got going:
I have an IBM Thinkpad 701c (the one with the cool keyboard!!!) that I want to restore - failing that, it will be up-cycled with a more modern motherboard & screen, preserving the keyboard.
Other Projects in various stages of incompleteness:
- USB-C to Barrel Jack chargers
- search.server.lgbt (my SearxNG instance, google/ddg search proxy)
- 2010 Lenovo ThinkServer Rebuild (may end up in a colocation center… eventually?)
- Ender 3 repairs (never ending ;-;)
- iPhone powered Pwnagotchi case
- Mini Model M keyboard cyber deck
- punk.lgbt (lgbt / womens healthcare resource directory, not up currently, looking into threat model)
