This printer copier scanner thing doesn't do anything but say it wants blue ink. If nobody wants to buy it blue ink we should throw it out, unless someone wants to adopt it? -jake

Hackerspace Visit

by Andromeda Martian

Hey there! I'm Ana and I'm on a vacation in the Bay Area until the 25th. I'm thinking about spending time at SudoRoom every now and then, especially to learn more about the SudoMesh project. I tried finding something akin to README.MD on the project's Github but I couldn't find it, so maybe I'll just hang out at the Sudo lair :D ..I'd like to come to the hardware hack night next week, but today I have dinner around those times. If I ring the door at any time of the day, any day, how likely is there to be a member who can open it for me? Is there a chat room dedicated to SudoMesh project? Thanks! Ana

changing our internet to Monkeybrains

by Jake

I talked with Monkeybrains and apparently we can get internet from them! It will be much better than what we have now, and our politics and goals are very aligned. from their website: https://www.monkeybrains.net/ "Monkeybrains is a San Francisco based ISP founded by Rudy Rucker and Alex Menendez in 1998. With their crew of like-minded renegades, these two are bringing affordable, hassle-free, month-to-month internet service to the residents and businesses of San Francisco. Monkeybrains customers appreciate our incredible speed-to-cost ratio and our ability to install quickly, with minimal wait time from lead to install. In the late 90's Monkeybrains started out as a dial-up ISP running out of a warehouse in San Francisco. We ran the whole thing with a few desktop computers connected to a bunch of modems. In the early 2000s we moved operations to the datacenter and began offering web hosting and collocation services. In 2009 Monkeybrains dramatically expanded the ISP by offering wireless Internet access. We have come a long way since those dial-up days! Monkeybrains now operates a hybrid network of fiber optic and high capacity wireless links servicing over 20,000 locations with over 100 new locations coming online every week. With every installation, we push the limits of available technology and over-deliver bandwidth. We took this approach during a recent campaign where Monkeybrains delivered 300Mbps+ to approved residents of San Francisco using equipment only previously seen on commercial buildings. Our focus within San Francisco has enabled us to have a personal relationship with the individuals, businesses and communities we serve. In addition to our personal approach to service and support, Monkeybrains takes a progressive stance on Net Neutrality and we believe the Internet should be secure, unbiased and available to all! View our customer map to see if we are available in your area." Does anyone know who we have internet service with now, how much we pay, and whether there's a penalty for cancelling after we get service with Monkeybrains? Does anyone have questions or objections to Omni switching over? -jake

Change to the meeting schedule!

by Andrew R Gross

Hey folks! At a recent meeting we agreed to change the meeting schedule back to how it used to be: now, general meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month, and all other Wednesdays are parties. You can still bring up any business at a party, but the change is meant to allow people to know which meetings are likely to be most active. I will be at Sudoroom for tonight‘s party and encourage anyone to stop by in person or online. The next real meeting will be the first Wednesday of March. The agenda for tonight‘s party is hang out and share projects, and discuss a new calendar plug-in I’m testing. If you wanna add anything else this agenda, reply below! Here is the calendar I’m testing. The big differences are that it’s much easier to make events in this plug-in, and anyone can sync the calendar to Google calendars or icalendar. Thoughts?

Javascript Thursdays renamed to Programming everywhere! everything! all at once!

by Romy Ilano

I attended my first thursday javascript session and everyone agreed to rename it Progrmaming! everything! everywhere! all at once! I stuck Michelle Yeoh on the flyer if that's ok (I don't want to make stuff too commercial but her hot dog fingers and the movie reminded us that stuff is always perpetually changing) Last session we talked about using chatGPT. Even though it's trendy it was a cool debate, and someone used it to create a learning curriculum for learning programming, and even had it construct lessons plans that he was tweaking. The conversation got a little spicy we talked about if chat gpt would replace teachers (some people thought it would, some though it wouldn't.). The next one is next Thursday! https://sudoroom.org/events/javascript-thursdays-2023-02-02/ ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
