privacy / crypto group - any ideas for a workshop on privacy with home voice assistants?

by Romy Ilano

Hey privacy folks - I recently got an Amazon Dash (Echo) and I'm messing around with Alexa. While there are a lot of great things about it, and I'm having fun as a developer creating, I'm interested to see what your perspective is for mainstream people. I saw this article on wired: https://www.wired.com/2016/12/alexa-and-google-record-your-voice You can tease me if you want: I use Siri and I'm interested in Alexa, and I'm sure many of you would never want to use these things. But I'm interested in the advantages and disadvantages of stuff like Alexa and Google Home. I'd love to hold a little workshop on it sometime, maybe after a meeting in January. Any opinions? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

non-profit/collective bike rentals / bike shares

by Romy Ilano

Hey matt, I have a guest in town from Greece. We are doing the usual bike rental thing from a cool bike shop. But are there alternatives to for-profit bike rental in Oakland? Does your collective rent bikes? Can people rent bikes on a platform for something that's not part of a big corporation or a start-up? Best, Romy ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Awesome outdoor POE device !

by Valent Turkovic

Has anyone played with Mikrotik Powerbox? https://routerboard.com/RB750P-PBr2 We just installed two, and they are AWESOME! We use them only as POE switches, but it would be awesome to get OpenWrt working on them... I'll look into that over the next few weeks... Cheers, Valent

transportation hack group -> let's start one

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/hacking-a-tesla-at-hardware-hack-night/ Hey I stopped by sudoroom! and the hardware guys were hacking on a tesla. We have people working at a bike collective too. we are all passionate about trains, I think some sudoroom members have travelled cross country on train as well. And we all know that we love BART and it needs all the help it gets as it reaches epic overcrowding. I'm going to start a SudoRoom transportation hack group! We can cross fertilize at Noisebridge... So there it is! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement I started the Wiki. I'll have more time over break to help out. Some thoughts: - I do not want to this to only be about ride share, although that's important. It'd be cool to have a communal, non-profit alternative to the current car sharing options out there. - Trains!!!!! - Cars - although I don't know that much about cars, I have worked for a car company and have owned a car for the past ten years. I still don't know that much about cars! There is no such thing as a car mechanic collective the way there is a bike mechanic collective. Bike collectives often have a "get to know you bike night" and nothing of that kind exists for cars. The only time I've interacted with cars is at car dealerships and at work and at a mechanic. Until recently I've received little or no detailed data about my car, and its health until a start-up had one of its indie mechanics fill out a "Car report card" for me. I'd love to have something similar for us! Rock on hope you are all enjoying your break! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

how to catch many mice/rats alive with one container

by Jake

this video shows a pretty straightforward way to catch lots of mice alive without having to reset a trap all the time. it's for mice, so since we have rats we would need to do it differently, with a much larger container. but the concept is pretty straightforward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChpMSrBbn3I

Environmental science / data science / collaborations? Student here from Greece until January 10

by Romy Ilano

Hi, I have a student from Greece staying here in Oakland until January 10. He's studying oceanology with an interest in data science around environmental sciences and green energy topics. Is anyone working on these kinds of projects at SudoRoom or counter culture labs? I think it's interesting. If we don't have topics around this subject we should probably plan some kind of collaboration! I remember Counter Culture labs had ever flux speak... is there a work group or anyone focused on these general topics? Best, Romy ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Re: [sudo-discuss] Help needed for Deli fridge for CCL - URGENT

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Sorry - false alarm. I bid up to $200, but I still didn't exceed the reserve price for this item. So I think we'll let this one go, and hope to get a free one through Bio-Link Depot some time in the next year...
