Hi everyone,
You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss
email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly.
Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in
person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email)
ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area
at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and
textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing
machines available. You’re also welcome to bring your own machine to have it
checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST
WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something
you should go outside)
in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence
Jenny put it on the Omni calendar:
https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/
Here it is on the sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/
that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier.
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway!
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:
https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here:
https://sudoroom.org/humans
and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/donate
if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and
chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
(don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually,
and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and
talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room)
see you soon!

Well in the light of current events, I guess it would be very cool to spearhead some more blatantly feminist and LBGT supportive groups.
I would prefer as little involvement in committees as possible! SudoRoom is a hacker's organization
LBGT and trans outreach
I'm still trying to brainstorm any trans outreach. It's looking bleak.
IUD education
At the moment it is dangerous even for pregnant women to exist in most of the red states. People could die from ectopic pregnancies at any time. Therefore it is crucial to educate as many young women on how to get an IUD as possible. (Condoms are insufficient)
Displaced Homemakers API
I am continuing learning back end on helping displaced homemakers. I think this is pretty crucial considering ow many young women enter into marriages and become stay at home moms without understanding the psychological and financial consequences of their decision. It would be very cool for people to also help displaced homemakers as they frequently fall into poverty.
I have been having a hard time getting creative work done in hackerspaces lately, as I've mentioned. There always seems to be an agenda completely unrelated to doing cool stuff when I am there, so it's a relief to do cool stuff!
Maybe the creative spaces can exist outside of the hackrrspace, in bars?

It would be cool to return hackerspaces to places where people can be creative again!
Hey all,
Normally I host JS Thursdays. My shoulder is really hurting today and I
need to take a break from sitting at a desk tonight. Sorry!
Thanks,
Charles
hi, does anyone know how to make it so that the wiki underlines all links?
It's nearly impossible to see links without that, unless you really expect
people to see the difference between black and dark blue which is ableist.
I opened this file but all the things i tried did not do anything to cause
links to be underlined. I think both internal and external links should be.
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css
i know this should be really really really easy, and my google searches keep
pointing me in circles suggesting that nobody else has had this problem, but
i'm apparently missing something fundamental.

python3-serial is installed and "import serial" works fine in python3, but the
programs for controlling the robot are made for python2 and i don't know how
hard it will be to port them over:

thank you for any help! This is really weird.

what specifically is the problem you're encountering? Do you need a stereo
transmitter for testing? I might have one or two....
also we have USRPs and transmitting SDRs around, so we could make a signal.
Also in sudoroom there is at least one really fancy "arbitrary waveform
generator" that you could use to produce a pilot tone, etc...
