Today's NB Privacy Hackathon: 7-10pm (come to RIOTcon in Oakland right before!)

by Steve Phillips

Hey there privacy hackers, The weekly privacy hackathons hosted at Noisebridge via the Cypherpunks Write Code <https://www.meetup.com/Cypherpunks-Write-Code/> meetup group are generally 4-10pm, but *tomorrow* (Saturday) it is *7pm to 10pm* (at Noisebridge). This is because of RIOTcon <https://riotcon.github.io/>, which I'm speaking at: RIOTcon (Radical Interactive Open Technology Conference) is a new > conference seeking to highlight the intersections between radicalism, art, > and technology. RIOTcon is from 11am till 5pm. My talk is at noon, and I'll be staying for the entire event before heading to Noisebridge for the CWC hackathon. More details about RIOTcon, including talk descriptions/summaries/abstracts: https://www.facebook.com/ events/2014315468855418/ I hope to see you all at the conference and/or the hackathon! --Steve P.S. *Of course* my talk is about Pursuance <https://pursuanceproject.org/> !

Stripe Subscriptions

by Kyle Mitchell

Following on from the finances discussion during last week's meeting... On manual review of our Stripe account, I see 36 monthly recurring dues subscriptions through sudo-humans for a total of $1,290 per month. There were a handful of accounts with failing transactions. (This tends to happen when a card expires or a number changes.) However, those accounts probably add up to <$100 per month altogether. If we expect, say, $1,200 per month actually paid, and our sole bill is to Omni, for $2,000, we are running an $800 shortfall. $800 over 30 people is $27 per. $800 over 15 people is $54 per. I've just updated my plan accordingly. As I recall, one of the big open questions from the meeting was whether Sudo pays any other recurring bills. We know we have insurance, and use utilities. It wasn't clear whether those are billed through Omni, and covered by the $2,000 per month, or not.

TAZ 3D printer needs a heating resistor

by Jake

our black TAZ "3" 3D printer doesn't work partially because its hotend resistor is burned out. Its hotend is a "Budaschnozzle 2.0" Here's a link to the nozzle: https://www.lulzbot.com/support/budaschnozzle-20 this is the parts list: http://download.lulzbot.com/Budaschnozzle/v2.0/Budaschnozzle_2.0_0.35noz_re… the part we need is: [ PC-RE0007 ] Heat Resistor, 4.7 Ohm this seems to be the sale page for replacement resistors: https://www.lulzbot.com/store/parts/heat-resistor but we can probably find one lying around, and maybe someone has thermally conductive epoxy for gluing one in? -jake

Treasure or trash?

by Ed Biow

Folks, a crony gave me a 6+1 DVD duplicator and a couple of external firewire DVD-RW burners, plus a laptop cooler pad dealer (see attached picture). Maybe we could use the duplicator to burner videos of an event in the ballroom for quick distribution. I have a few spools of DVD-RWs I could throw at it. Otherwise this stuff just goes in my e-cycling pile, though I have to say it does make a pretty cool electronic samurai sculpture in my living room. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&fiel… Edlardo -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If God is watching us the least we can do is be entertaining.

Removing bogus wordpress users

by Charley Sheets

Hi everyone, I am removing bogus-looking wordpress users, subject to my own discretion as to bogosity. One such account has the username part of the email address as "gcjrminsgbkbwbacdega". That kind of thing. If any real user finds that their wordpress account stops working, I apologize. Should that happen, please request a new account. Thanks for understanding. -- Charley

SUDO room scanner light replacement discussion thread

by jacques revera

https://forum.diybookscanner.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3477 Jonathon Duerig (I believe he took over much from Daniel Reetz) responded that we have a 'hackerspace' model scanner and offered some advice. I asked if we could buy the "lighting system" parts of a 'quill' model and if it would be feasible to mount on our 'hackerspace' model. The logic is well put here http://diybookscanner.org/archivist/index322f.html?page_id=459 beginning with the sentence "Lighting for scanners is incredibly difficult to do right. " Check back there for the reply

Omni annual meeting Jan. 18th - call for sudodelegate, nominating officers-in-training

by Jenny Ryan

'ello sudoers, Omni's annual board meeting is next Thursday (the 18th). Any sudoers interested in being a delegate and/or officer-in-training? Robb and I have been interchangeably sudo's delegate for quite some time. It essentially involves attending delegates meetings (1st & 3rd Thursdays from 7-9pm) and relaying proposals to and from sudo room via the mailing list and monthly meeting for consensus decision-making. Nominating "officers-in-training" was Laura's suggestion. Current officers are Lynn (president), Brian (treasurer) and myself (secretary). You'd work with us to learn how to keep Omni running in the day-to-day. I can say from personal experience that I've learned more over the course of the past three years than I have in any of my academic degrees and jobs - and the rewards of successfully hacking bureaucracy are especially sweet ^_^ Brian and I will be sending out a defined list of responsibilities this weekend. Additionally, I have invited the Sin Fronteras cafe folks to tomorrow's meeting-flavored party, but haven't heard back yet. Hoping one or more of them can make it to answer any remaining questions and we can get to know each other.

Fwd: [dorkbotsf-blabber] A Thousand FREE Lithium Batteries For YOU

by Patrik D'haeseleer

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Johny Radio <johnyradio(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 10:45 PM Subject: [dorkbotsf-blabber] A Thousand FREE Lithium Batteries For YOU To: Dorkbot-Blabber <dorkbotsf-blabber(a)googlegroups.com> Hi all An energy company donated a hundred thousand barely-used lithium nanophosphate cells to my nonprofit org. We need places to store them! THE CELLS: These are industrial-grade A123 High Power Lithium Nanophosphate ANR26650M1A cells. They are authentic, strong and safe. They are 26650—same height as 18650’s, but fatter. Photos: https://image.ibb.co/dfD9XG/steve_freewire_sm.jpg https://image.ibb.co/ea0Cmb/A123_cells.jpg Battery specs below. THE DEAL: In exchange for storing a few boxes of batteries, we’ll gift you approx one- to two-thousand cells, free. You could build some power walls, power a bunch of bicycles and portable LED projects, etc. We need to move the cells within a week. Each box is approx 4’ x 2’ x 2’. If we deliver to you, plz store 9 boxes minimum (we’ll have to rent a truck). If you pickup, then fewer boxes is fine. Gift to you will be approx 1/10th of the cells you store. WHY YOU SHOULD HELP US J I founded a nonprofit org, to teach electronics to at-risk teens in SF. We teach kids in the hood to solder, drill, assemble, and more. Read about us in MakeZine and Burning Man Journal: boo.ma/makezine boo.ma/burningblog www.bayviewboom.org Like us on www.facebook.com/bayviewboom Follow us on www.twitter.com/bayviewboom 501(c)3 Nonprofit umbrella: www.empowermentworks.org BATTERY SPECS: Datasheet: http://e-motion.lt/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ ANR26650M1A_Datasheet.pdf Safety spec: https://fmo.unl.edu/sds/lithiumionbattery.pdf 2.3Ah, 3.3V nominal each Performance: 30C continuous discharge, 60C pulse Recommended Charge: 3A to 3.6V CCCV, 45 min Fast Charge: 10A to 3.6V CCCV, 15 min Power: Over 3000W/kg and 5800W/L Form factor: The cells are assembled in battery packs. Each pack contains 100 cells. These packs were used in an installation with strict constraints, so they had to pull these packs from service at 75%-80% capacity. In reality, most of the cells in each pack are in great condition. You’ll want to break down the packs and pull the individual cells. Plz contact me ASAP by replying here, or at john(a)bayviewboom.org, or at 415-689-4335 <(415)%20689-4335>. Thx!
