Hi Sudoers:
See below: Sodoroom member Thomas Lopes also runs the Raspberry Pi
interest group of the Berkeley Linux Users Group, he'll be holding their
meeting from 11am-2pm at Sudoroom, it'd be great to have a bunch of
veteran Sudoers present to hang out, help him host and welcome newcomers.
Thomas also knows how to flash the locked Dell Chromebooks so if you
wanted to unlock some more Chromebooks tomorrow would be a good day as
he's around. (We could use some more to hand out as general purpose
laptops.)
Cheers, -Peter

Now with Pi 5!
I still have one Pi 5 8gb from the launch event last month and a 4gb
that I pre ordered from the announcement.
The launch event went pretty well. People were interested in how the 5
would work in their projects. And one 8gb Pi 5 was given out (and a
couple of 4s).
Sorry no giveaways this time.
So at SudoRoom in Sunday November 19 from 11 am to 2pm. There is a
buzzer at the door or call or txt me at 510-984-2455 for access.
I'll be 3d printing some parts and looking at Sudo's little metal lathe.
Alan had been checking out the lathe and we have gotten some parts but
there is still some things to check.
Hope to see you there.
Thomas

Hey Sudo Room, what do you think about this statement that was posted to
consensus? The last two paragraphs were taken out by another editor but I
prefer them left in.
Solidarity for Palestinian Liberation
We at Omni Commons demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, an
end to the murder and genocide of Gazans, and all forms of apartheid,
occupation and ethnic or religious supremacy. We demand full human rights
for all people, including the right of return for Palestinians.
Israel allows Jews from anywhere in the world to move there, and become
full citizens. They give free plane rides and ten-day tours to young Jews
age 18-25, full of Zionist propaganda. This trip is called “Birthright
Israel” - it preys on ignorant and vulnerable Jewish youth by recruiting
them for Israel’s settler colonial project. Young people who fall for this
recruitment are then drafted into Israel’s occupation army. Even as war
rages, Birthright is shamelessly continuing with all their Winter trips.
Meanwhile, Palestinians’ freedom of movement has been restricted since the
1948 war, when Zionist terrorism drove hundreds of thousands to flee their
homes. Many of these families, now millions of people, still live in
refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the West Bank. The largest is
Gaza, with almost 2 million refugees. Some elders still carry the keys to
houses they left 75 years ago. If Israel was willing to recognize THEIR
birthright, we’d have had peace 30 years ago. Time and again, Israel walked
away from peace talks over this very issue. Instead, many Palestinians'
property was simply given to Jewish immigrants, with no consent or
compensation. This is stolen land.
Jews have always been the minority in Palestine. It was true in 1923, it’s
true in 2023. Israel maintains the illusion of a Jewish “majority” only by
brutal suppression of Palestinian human rights. This is Zionism! All human
rights should be respected, including Jews, but no government built on
minority rule has any right to exist.
We do not welcome Zionism at the Omni Commons. We are critical of anybody
who accepted Birthright trips to apartheid Israel in their youth, including
among our own organizers - but we also recognize that people can learn,
grow and change. Peace and justice require us to forgive people for their
mistakes.
We acknowledge that a stand for Palestine has to be a stand against
imperialism as a whole.
Biden is sending billions of dollars to fund Israeli settler colonial
projects to massacre the Palestinians while millions of us struggle to
survive here on the streets.
We believe in abolition. The abolition of open air prisons, caging
indigenous Palestinians genocide. The abolition of the Zionist state. The
abolition of US imperialism and greed for profit.
Liberation must be fought for. We must fight to make each other free.
There's an entire slack channel on Women Who Code of women from Latin
America learning English through programming chats. I'm learning Spanish
(Argentinian but Mexico is cool too)
I mentioned this for Women & NonBinary nights... but would it be cool to
suggest for SudoRoom in general?
I am travelling to Buenos Aires at the end of the month and won't be able
to be in a lot of the mondays and Tuesdays in November. I think this would
be a cool initiative though - help SudoRoom's wings spread!

Hey Sudo Room,
I'd like to invite you to join a meetup and mailing list for Bay Area arts
co-ops and makerspaces. We're trying to gather organizers from Bay Area
makerspaces to build connections, share what's working and where we are
struggling, and figure out how we might collaborate across spaces!
Here's the link:
https://groups.google.com/g/bay-area-makerspaces-arts-coops/about
We had a casual chat this month in SF with representatives from Syzygy,
Noisebridge, Maker Farm, the Box Shop, and Double Union in attendance.
We're planning to do another one in early November, this time in the East
Bay!
The current meetup plan is for November 9, 6-8pm at Temescal Brewery, 4115
Telegraph Ave (near MacArthur Bart).

last night I played with the Sparcstation 5 that Phil got working, and tried
to get it on The Internet
it's plugged into ethernet, and i wanted to get it an IP address and all
that...but first i had to figure out why it didn't have a MAC address. Its
ethernet port is "le0" (in linux we're used to eth0) and something online said
do this:
# ifconfig le0 plumb
but then its MAC address was 0:0:0:0:0:0 which was not gonna work. Trying to
set it from ifconfig like this didn't work:
# ifconfig le0 hw ether 1:2:3:4:5:6
bad address
so I had to reboot and type a bunch of stuff into the "ok" prompt it boots up
to, like it says here
https://gist.github.com/amdprophet/e010803d581d676003a90ba36da8a269
after a reboot it started saying the MAC address I entered upon boot (before
the "ok" prompt) and actually it was trying to network boot, or access
something on the network - i had to press STOP and A to interrupt that, and
get the "ok" prompt, where i typed "boot disk" to boot up from disk.
Then I set the IP address and gateway route manually and was able to ping and
telnet sites by IP address, on the internet!!!! but DNS didn't work.
I put this in /etc/resolv.conf:
domain jackpumpkin
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
and then nslookup worked! But other commands line ping and telnet and the web
browser still couldn't resolve DNS names. I went home, but Marc says:
what does /etc/nsswitch.conf say?
You might have to do: cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
if the .conf does not exist
Apparently this OS ships with a bunch of example config files with different
extensions instead of .conf, and you copy the one you want to .conf and then
edit to your liking. That's probably how we should set up the networking,
rather than typing ifconfig commands each time.
also don't forget to run "bash" in the terminal so you're not stuck in an
annoying minimalist shell
here's the wiki page i made - if you don't have an account, request one!

I can't make it to this event tonight - can other people make it to this
meetup or edit it? for hadrware hack night?
We made it so more people could also edi the Omni meetup.com -
