as a member of this community i hereby post the following: seeking a housemate to fill a bedroom of about 140 square feet, on the ground floor of a duplex in west oakland, starting on December 1st. the monthly rent is $900 due to circumstances beyond my control. myself and the other two housemates are paying more for larger and less for smaller rooms, as is fair. I will try to get you onto the lease so you have full tenants' rights. The house is in good condition, has a large common room, and clothes washer/dryer. 1.2 miles from MacArthur BART station it has a nice backyard which is shared with the upstairs apartment, which is used as AirBNB by the capitalist landlord, but it's nice because it means that most of the time it's empty. Please contact me by email with any questions.

Hourly rate is $45/hr. for the contract phase, and upon conversion to FTE, salary would be $80k + full comp. package. I wanted to reach out to you and see if you were interested or if there is anyone you know who could be a good fit? " I have the recruiter's contact info if someone is interested.

Help moving small fridge to CCL?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Anyone have a van, pickup truck, or even a large hatchback available, to help me transport a 1/2 size fridge from South SF to CCL? I bought an undercounter lab fridge on a biotech auction last week (to replace the one in the BSL2 lab that decided it would rather be a freezer), but now I need to go pick it up by the 17th. I could rent a uHaul, but with mileage that would cost more than the fridge did in the first place... Anyone available today, Wed. or Thu? Thanks! Patrik

'emergency' mtg tonite re: Omni & protests, 7pm entrance hall

by David Keenan

hi all, ok not really an 'emergency' unless you count the forthcoming four-year-long state of emergency we're entering into post-Trump - I would like to get together with anyone who is feeling the rage and despair against the election outcome, to brainstorm how Omni can best provide shelter, workspace and solidarity to those presently engaged in the protests against the insanity of recent events which has ignited the bay area. This might mean: - Making a flyer encouraging activists to use omni for meetings, going to protests, and handing them out? - Organizing banner-making sessions, weekly assemblies, etc? - protest tactics, info sessions? - generally getting the word out that omni can serve as a site of interconnection and possible collaboration for various groups of activists and activated friend groups, etc - what can member groups supply the effort..? Ideas: Sudo - (just riffing here): -- disseminate peoplesopen.net to support protests? -- fab some drones? BAPS: -- classes on community, solidarity, resistance, political philosophy meeting praxis others: ? I am aware of other calls to action and convergences elsewhere, but I figure we as the omni community at large should also figure out how we might best make available our resources to the mass effort. Niki and I will be hosting, we will try to bring some yummy food -- and super late notice I realize but we figured hell, no time like the present please come if you can :) and pass the word on - love & solidarity David

Fwd: [omni-discuss] Washington Post editor seeking opinion pieces

by Patrik D'haeseleer

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura Turiano <scylla(a)riseup.net> Date: Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 12:01 PM Subject: [omni-discuss] Washington Post editor seeking opinion pieces To: I just got a message from a friend saying that the Washington Post digital editor is looking for opinion pieces from activists, DREAMers, and "protest organizers." His name is James Downie and his email is james.downie(a)washpost.com He wants people to pitch their piece to him, not the full piece. I assume he wants reaction to the election and where the country is going. Please feel free to forward.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [sudo-board] [URGENT] Please sign incoming document to resign from Sudo's Board

by hol＠gaskill.com

I need to be at home during tonight's membership meeting but will plan to attend remotely starting around 8-8:30.

After reading the draft fiscal sponsorship agreement it looks like there are only some minor revisions needed so the 'bit of time' you spent on it was epic and has already gotten us to the home stretch pending Jesse's detailed review. There are some common sense conditions placed on the sponsorship arrangement that I concur with, so will happily walk back the 'without precondition' part. HOWEVER, SECTION 8 I THINK WE NEED TO STRIKE COMPLETELY AS ALLOWING ARBITRARY TERMINATION OF FISCAL SPONSORSHIP: > "8.

I have not seen discussion on the topic but it seems like unless Omni2 is anticipated to load up on additional cash, all orgs' rent should go down to ~1/2 of existing rate assuming we refinance with a 30-year mortgage around $250k additional costs to pay down old debt and make repairs to building, etc prior to the balloon payment. None of this money is sudo's to spend regardless, I am just asking in order to get a sense of what sudo's expenses would look like on a cost recovery basis. There has been some discussion of 'market' adjustments but this seems to conflict with the overarching principle of maintaining this space as a commons so I propose we nip it in the bud. > > Thanks again to all who have gotten us to this point! > On 2016-11-06 23:37, Jenny Ryan wrote: > > I'm sorry, Hol!

That being said I have deep concern about the way this is being pushed through. The meeting minutes from 10/12 and other docs linked to today still refer to a 50/50 split and tenants in common agreement whereas my understanding was that the legal entity we have been calling 'Omni2' would have sole ownership of the building to keep things much simpler. Any resolution the board passes should match what the membership has approved and not take liberties with important variables. This entails having actual meetings that are actually facilitated by someone who actually creates an agenda, communicates with the membership, takes notes, and records them on the list and on the wiki. That has not been happening for many months now, and my agreements with others to take over facilitating such meetings with sudo have not, to my knowledge, other than Marc presenting the 10/12 proposal on my behalf, resulted in anything resembling facilitated and structured meetings. We need to meet on Wednesday then, and pass this proposal. I will update the agenda and facilitate this Wednesday, unless someone else volunteers. > So far the board are just being asked to resign (to be clear, I am happy to step aside myself rather than sign something that puts sudo room's ability to receive donations at full face value) and trust that Omni's board will act in our interest, but given the level of distrust some individuals within that group have expressed of sudo room, it seems wholly defensible for us to define some critically important terms prior to handoff while we are still legally whole. Omni's bylaws empower a Delegate's Council composed of a representative from each member collective - including Sudo Room - to approve decisions by consensus. Would people feel more confident with Hol as director of Sudo Room? It has been me since 2014, but I'm happy to cede that seat and remain an officer (secretary or president) if and as nominated and elected. If neither, Hol you will need to work closely with me over the next several weeks to review and sign many documents. > Per Jenny's and my meeting 2 weeks ago with Kyle (while he was still our legal counsel) the current board was to pass the resolution renaming sudo room's legal entity and enshrine a few protections for the soon to be much more vulnerable sudo room prior to resigning to make way for the new board. Pasted below are the concerns that I raised on 10/20 on the board listserv. There was no discussion on this topic on that listserv other than from Jenny and Kyle, so I am repeating now for the general membership to weigh in and maybe clarify how these concerns relate to some of the discussion at the 10/12 meeting, and their sense from being there. THE MOST CRITICAL IS ISSUE 2 WHERE WE WOULD NEED TO CLEARLY INDICATE THAT SUDO ROOM WOULD BE A FISCALLY SPONSORED PROJECT OF OMNI2 IN PERPETUITY, WITHOUT CHARGE OR PRECONDITION, REGARDLESS OF MEMBERSHIP STATUS WITHIN THE OMNI. IF THIS IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENTATION YOU LINKED, PLEASE POINT US TO IT, BUT I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING COVERING THIS. This is a really excellent point. As mentioned in the timeline spreadsheet, Jesse is preparing the fiscal sponsorship agreement, but that document is not ready yet and would be consented on in collaboration with both Omni and Sudo's responsible groups (Omni's Finance WG + sudo room's membership consensus at a meeting). However, given the concerns you've raised and the timeliness of the matter, I took a bit of time to draft a version of Omni's standard fiscal sponsorship agreement myself and shared it with Jesse in the event further edits are needed. Please comment with proposed changes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FpE1-OikfLmqENzIprlHatZpi9UhCzJteI6qcTG… [8] > _PROPOSAL TO INCLUDE IN TRANSITION DEAL:_ SUDO ROOM'S RENT AND PERCENTAGE ALLOCATION OF SHARED COSTS ARE CAPPED AT CURRENT LEVELS, AND CURRENT SPACE ALLOCATIONS ARE PRESERVED AS LONG AS OMNI2 OWNS OR MANAGES THE BUILDING. SUDO ROOM WOULD HOWEVER NOT BE EXEMPT FROM NORMAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO OTHER COLLECTIVES FOR MAINTAINING GOOD STANDING. ANY FUTURE INCREASES IN RENT OR DECREASES IN SPACE MUST PASS BY CONSENSUS AMONG SUDO ROOM MEMBERS. There was discussion around issue 1 in the notes but nothing in the resolution. I will pass this along to Jesse, but again, such decisions are governed by the Omni Delegates Council, and Sudo's Delegate is responsible to represent the consensus of the membership. > issue 2: fiscal sponsorship > This is the obvious one - by becoming a fiscally sponsored project of Omni2, we would need guaranteed continuity in fiscal sponsorship, free of charge or precondition. > _PROPOSAL TO INCLUDE IN TRANSITION DEAL:_ SUDO ROOM WILL BE FISCALLY SPONSORED BY OMNI2 UNCONDITIONALLY AND FREE OF CHARGE OR PRECONDITION AS LONG AS OMNI2 AND SUDO BOTH CONTINUE TO OPERATE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUDO ROOM REMAINS A COLLECTIVE IN GOOD STANDING WITH, OR TENANT OF, OMNI2. The conditions are outlined in the fiscal sponsorship agreement, and this seems extreme. Any collective - including Sudo - could become soured by nefarious characters or general malaise, and no responsible organization would sign a document tying them to another indefinitely regardless of the other remaining in good standing. Either way, sudo would have no difficulty obtaining a new fiscal sponsor immediately if the paths of both orgs were to diverge. The charge is the monthly rent, which I've proposed to reduce from $2446 to $2000. Omni will remain fiscally-solvent, and sudo moreso, as our currently monthly income is around $1500 (we've been heavily subsidized by generous members for months now). I will make this an official proposal in the coming week. > issue 3: sunset > If the mission has been completed or changed from 4799 ownership, org reverts to sudo room control. No assets, building, etc, just the piece of paper back. Intent is to leave language allowing Omni 2 to do more than this, but at a minimum maintain 4799. This is the whole reason it makes sense to go out on this limb, to stand our ground and maintain a commons where we are. > _proposal to include in transition deal:_ In the event Omni2 amends its mission statement to no longer include ownership and management of the building or otherwise reassigns this activity to another organization, or should 4799 Shattuck for any other reason no longer be in the possession of Omni2, the mission of the organization shall revert to the original sudo room mission and the sudo room general membership shall nominate a new board. That is a really interesting piece I didn't grok fully when I first read your email. I will pass this along to Jesse. We could possibly incorporate this into new-omni's bylaws. > That's the end of the text I sent the board. Below are 2 new minor issues I observe from looking through the google doc folder: > -Actions for sudo room's board reference an Exhibit A (and in the Omni folder an Exhibit B is mentioned) but neither exhibits appear to be in cluded in the shared folder for review. Everything is still in process, namely the amended bylaws which I will work on tonight. Relevant notes for this are in the 'Status' column. > -Whereas 45 day notice is claimed, the date on the proposed meeting for sudo room is 9 days from now. I would ask Jesse to clarify whether this detail of the proposed schedule satisfies legal requirements. There are 2 special meetings of the members that are being called, because according to Sudo's bylaws, a 45-day notice of a special meeting and quorum consent by members is needed in order to pass an amendment to the Bylaws terminating membership. The new-Omni board can pass the rest of the amended Bylaws. So the 1st meeting, which requires only a 10-day notice, is for sudo's membership to change it's Articles of Incorporation to reflect a name change to'Omni Commons' and to incorporate the charitable activities of Omni. This was sent to the membership list (not the full -discuss list, as only members can vote) on Nov. 5th, scheduled for Nov. 16th at 7pm. I updated the membership mailing list prior to sending the notice, incoporating any new currently-paying members registered on sudo-humans. That list has 93 members. We need a quorum of 10 in consensus to pass the proposed amendment. The new Board of Directors, whom I am electing upon resignation of the rest of the Directors, incorporates an updated list of Directors consented on at the last Omni Delegates Meeting. I have compiled this new BoD list here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bml7wmHk1l1gwB-hRV-CHB0w2x_hv6tCZhZKMij… [9] > Thanks to all who made it this far in this brutal textwall. Again, I am happy to step aside if seeking written resolution of these concerns comes across as obstructionist - I am simply reading as much of the plan as currently proposed as I can in the same day, and sharing my analysis with sudo room's membership, which is the behavior that I think led to me being asked to occasionally read and sign things in the first place.

Sudo Monthly Meeting-Flavored Party Tonight

by Jenny Ryan

7pm! We need a quorum of 10 members to consent to the amended building purchase proposal: Since the last monthly sudo meeting, in which we consented <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2016-10-12#Proposals> to a 50/50 split of ownership with the omni by accepting the $1m donation, amending our name and bylaws to mirror that of the current Omni entity, and becoming a fiscally-sponsored project of this reformed org, the Omni's Fundraising Working Group has developed a proposal that eases the financial and bureaucratic overhead of splitting all income, expenses, and responsibilities. The delegate council of the Omni has consented to a proposal that sudo room accept BOTH the $1m donation and the $1m loan, fully adopt Omni's bylaws and Board of Directors, and steward full ownership of the building moving forward. *Proposal: Extending the proposal consented on at the October 12th meeting, Sudo Room will also accept the $1m loan and steward full ownership of 4799 Shattuck. To this end, Sudo Room authorizes Jennifer Ryan and Matthew Senate, who are currently the authorized signatories of Sudo Room's bank account, to make any financial transactions necessary to complete the building purchase on behalf of the organization.* If you cannot attend in-person, you can attend remotely on the pad. Hope to see some of you tonight!

Re: [sudo-discuss] [sudo-board] [URGENT] Please sign incoming document to resign from Sudo's Board

by hol＠gaskill.com

sudo room membership, I understand Jenny and many other folks have worked hard on this and I fully believe that sudo room's future is inseparable from the Omni. That being said I have deep concern about the way this is being pushed through. The meeting minutes from 10/12 and other docs linked to today still refer to a 50/50 split and tenants in common agreement whereas my understanding was that the legal entity we have been calling 'Omni2' would have sole ownership of the building to keep things much simpler. Any resolution the board passes should match what the membership has approved and not take liberties with important variables. So far the board are just being asked to resign (to be clear, I am happy to step aside myself rather than sign something that puts sudo room's ability to receive donations at full face value) and trust that Omni's board will act in our interest, but given the level of distrust some individuals within that group have expressed of sudo room, it seems wholly defensible for us to define some critically important terms prior to handoff while we are still legally whole. Per Jenny's and my meeting 2 weeks ago with Kyle (while he was still our legal counsel) the current board was to pass the resolution renaming sudo room's legal entity and enshrine a few protections for the soon to be much more vulnerable sudo room prior to resigning to make way for the new board. Pasted below are the concerns that I raised on 10/20 on the board listserv. There was no discussion on this topic on that listserv other than from Jenny and Kyle, so I am repeating now for the general membership to weigh in and maybe clarify how these concerns relate to some of the discussion at the 10/12 meeting, and their sense from being there. THE MOST CRITICAL IS ISSUE 2 WHERE WE WOULD NEED TO CLEARLY INDICATE THAT SUDO ROOM WOULD BE A FISCALLY SPONSORED PROJECT OF OMNI2 IN PERPETUITY, WITHOUT CHARGE OR PRECONDITION, REGARDLESS OF MEMBERSHIP STATUS WITHIN THE OMNI. IF THIS IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENTATION YOU LINKED, PLEASE POINT US TO IT, BUT I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING COVERING THIS. ISSUE 1: PRESSURE FOR SPACE, PAST AND FUTURE For the past 2.5 years it has been a struggle to keep the building occupied, energized, and above water in terms of expenses. Huge amounts of energy have been spent by key sudo room members and there has been much progress and stability compared to those early days, and with the prospect of owning the building I think alot of orgs that were tentative or on the fence will want in. From reading the notes it appears this is already occurring. While those here today know that sudo room and the people it brought into the building have been essential to carrying us to this point, this may not always be the case, and we may be faced with growing pressure to pay more than we can afford, or make do with less than we need, when so much has been sacrificed to stake out this small piece of space in Oakland for our activities. Since moving to the Omni and almost doubling our expenses to keep things afloat we have not been fiscally solvent and we must protect against further rent increases as part of this transition if we are to exist long enough to bask in the success of Omni as a whole. As we will be buying the building outright, I cannot think of a financial pretext for future rent increases on sudo room, and any increases in sudo room donations can go toward our important work. _PROPOSAL TO INCLUDE IN TRANSITION DEAL:_ SUDO ROOM'S RENT AND PERCENTAGE ALLOCATION OF SHARED COSTS ARE CAPPED AT CURRENT LEVELS, AND CURRENT SPACE ALLOCATIONS ARE PRESERVED AS LONG AS OMNI2 OWNS OR MANAGES THE BUILDING. SUDO ROOM WOULD HOWEVER NOT BE EXEMPT FROM NORMAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO OTHER COLLECTIVES FOR MAINTAINING GOOD STANDING. ANY FUTURE INCREASES IN RENT OR DECREASES IN SPACE MUST PASS BY CONSENSUS AMONG SUDO ROOM MEMBERS. There was discussion around issue 1 in the notes but nothing in the resolution. issue 2: fiscal sponsorship This is the obvious one - by becoming a fiscally sponsored project of Omni2, we would need guaranteed continuity in fiscal sponsorship, free of charge or precondition. _proposal to include in transition deal:_ sudo room will be fiscally sponsored by Omni2 unconditionally and free of charge or precondition as long as Omni2 and Sudo both continue to operate, regardless of whether sudo room remains a collective in good standing with, or tenant of, Omni2. issue 3: sunset If the mission has been completed or changed from 4799 ownership, org reverts to sudo room control. No assets, building, etc, just the piece of paper back. Intent is to leave language allowing Omni 2 to do more than this, but at a minimum maintain 4799. This is the whole reason it makes sense to go out on this limb, to stand our ground and maintain a commons where we are. _proposal to include in transition deal:_ In the event Omni2 amends its mission statement to no longer include ownership and management of the building or otherwise reassigns this activity to another organization, or should 4799 Shattuck for any other reason no longer be in the possession of Omni2, the mission of the organization shall revert to the original sudo room mission and the sudo room general membership shall nominate a new board. That's the end of the text I sent the board. Below are 2 new minor issues I observe from looking through the google doc folder: -Actions for sudo room's board reference an Exhibit A (and in the Omni folder an Exhibit B is mentioned) but neither exhibits appear to be in cluded in the shared folder for review. -Whereas 45 day notice is claimed, the date on the proposed meeting for sudo room is 9 days from now. I would ask Jesse to clarify whether this detail of the proposed schedule satisfies legal requirements. Thanks to all who made it this far in this brutal textwall. Again, I am happy to step aside if seeking written resolution of these concerns comes across as obstructionist - I am simply reading as much of the plan as currently proposed as I can in the same day, and sharing my analysis with sudo room's membership, which is the behavior that I think led to me being asked to occasionally read and sign things in the first place.

We are down an Ed

by Ed Biow

Ed Rippy Jr. <http://erippy.home.mindspring.com/> died Tuesday, November 1st after a long battle with lung cancer. He was a veteran activist, a sudoroom <sudoroom.org> member, the web master for the Oscar Grant Committee <http://www.oscargrantcommittee.org/>, very involved in Occupy Concord, an excellent writer, active in 9/11 issues & the fight against imperialism, and much, much more. Sunday at 1PM his friends will gather at Vinnie’s Bar & Grill <http://vinniesbar.com/> at 2045 Mount Diablo Street <https://www.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode&q=2045+mt+diablo…> in downtown Concord to celebrate his life and maybe raise a few bucks for his cremation, etc. There will be three great local bands, Blue Moonshine <http://bluemoonshinerocks.com/>, The Breedloves <http://www.the-breedloves.com/> & Celtic trio Sin Silver <http://www.sinsilverandtheavenue.com/>, as well as some BBQ, all for only a $5 cover. The event will go on until 8 PM. https://sudoroom.org/events/memorial-celebration-for-sudoer-ed-rippy/ https://occupyoakland.org/event/celebrate-life-ed-rippy-benefit-bbq-concert/ I've tried to step up and take over some of Ed's responsibilities for the Oscar Grant Committee's web site, I'm not superstitious just because he is my namesake (crossing himself violently even though he is an atheist, thank God). I might have room for a person or two if they show up at the Oakland Museum around 4 PM, some of us OO folks are meeting on the stairs there at 2 PM for the free day to see the Black Panther special exibit. https://occupyoakland.org/event/occupy-oakland-visits-oakland-musuem-black-… “Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.” -Mother Jones & Not-So-Special Ed

Nation of Makers, Maker Meals, and Oakland Makers

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, As some of you may know, I've been involved in the Nation of Maker initiative to create a national 501(c)3 umbrella organization for makerspaces. If folks from Sudo are interested in being more involved in this process, let me know, and we can get you in touch. Some of the ways you can help out would be by writing a letter of support on behalf of Sudo. Maker/hackerspaces around the country will also be organizing "Maker Meals" where they invite their neighbors to sit down over a meal or potluck. If anyone in Sudo would like to help organize such a "Maker Meal" together with CCL, please let me know! I don't think we have enough free energy to do one of these by ourselves right now, but we are definitely planning to write a letter of support. We're targeting all this for the week of November 15, when there will be a big announcement planned for the Nation of Makers initiative. The email I attached below has much more info on everything that is going on with Nation of Makers, Maker Meals, letters of support, etc. Along the same lines, I recently reached out to Oakland Makers to see if they were still alive. They were very active two years ago or so, with a ton of support from the City under then-mayor Jean Quan, but it seems they mostly went dormant for the past year. To my surprise I got an immediate email back from Hiroko from 25th Street Collective, suggesting we set up a conference call or meet up with Karen Cusolito from American Steel and Danny Beesley. If anyone would like to be involved in reviving Oakland Makers (and maybe put some more of our own stamp on it!), please let me know... Thanks!

His bio, and the abstract for the talk, can be found below. He give this talk in earlier in the week at OpenDNS, so this is your chance to catch it at Noisebridge!

Talk runs 45 minutes, free to the public, and ends with a Q&A that typically runs just as long. Bring your questions! [edit <https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Advanced_Introduction_to_GnuPG&acti…> ]Abstract GnuPG is a powerful tool. In this practical presentation, I will start with an overview of OpenPGP, the messaging protocol that GnuPG implements. Then, I will explain GnuPG's architecture, some good practices, and some neat tricks. This talk is specifically targeted at people who already have a basic understanding of how GnuPG works, and are interested in understanding what's under the hood. [edit <https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Advanced_Introduction_to_GnuPG&acti…> ]Bio Neal has been hacking on and contributing to free software for over 20 years. Among other projects, he has contributed to GNU Hurd and GPE (the GNU Palm Environment). After g10code's highly successful fund raising campaign at the end of 2014 for GnuPG, he was hired by Werner Koch to work on GnuPG. During the past two years at g10code, Neal has implemented the new trust on first use (TOFU) trust model, and fixed GNOME Keyring to better interact with GnuPG, among other things.

small lipo battery

by Morgan Allen

Trying to slap a demo together for Hackaday SuperConf and I forgot to order the battery I need and won't be able to get one in time so hoping someone might have something I can borrow or buy. Looking for a ~110mAh battery similar to this. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13853 I think there are some small drones that use tiny lipos like that, maybe someone has an extra. Need something by Thur morning. Thanks

Who makes Robots?

by Cole Church

Hi all, I was referred to your group by a colleague. I work on photo shoots and we are looking to have a robot made for it. The image being shot is young people in a class room scanning the robot in a 3D printer. The shoot will take place in the bay area. Here are the basic requirements for it: Cannot be proprietary, must be unique Does not have to work (but must look like it does) Appropriate for high school age kids Be approx 12” high We are open to someone who already has one built or someone who can build one. We need it by next Friday. Please email me at cole(a)blueceiling.com <mailto:cole@blueceiling.com> if you are interested and we can discuss the cost of rental/building, details of the robot, etc. Thanks so much for your time! Hope to hear from some of you. Best, Cole Church

11/01 OpenLate @ OpenDNS - An Advanced Introduction to GnuPG

by James Sundquist

http://www.meetup.com/OpenLate/events/234006159/ Tuesday, November 1, 2016 6:30 PM 135 Bluxome, San Francisco, CA (map) Neal Walfield is giving a technical talk on GnuPG. His bio, and the abstract for the talk, can be found below. Abstract GnuPG is a powerful tool. In this practical presentation, I will start with an overview of OpenPGP, the messaging protocol that GnuPG implements. Then, I will explain GnuPG's architecture, some good practices, and some neat tricks. This talk is specifically targeted at people who already have a basic understanding of how GnuPG works, and are interested in understanding what's under the hood. Bio Neal has been hacking on and contributing to free software for over 20 years. Among other projects, he has contributed to GNU Hurd and GPE (the GNU Palm Environment). After g10code's highly successful fund raising campaign at the end of 2014 for GnuPG, he was hired by Werner Koch to work on GnuPG. During the past two years at g10code, Neal has implemented the new trust on first use (TOFU) trust model, and fixed GNOME Keyring to better interact with GnuPG, among other things.

Specs of e325 "rack" server machine

by aaronco36

Robb suggested that I might want to post this info on the General Discuss list, so am doing so. Just wanted to provide anyone else interested with some of the specifications of the e325 rack machine I'm currently testing on the SudoRoom hackatorium table. To be donated to (and hopefully used by) SudoRoom. TL;DR at - https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=migr-53255 - http://www.amdboard.com/ibm_eserver_325_specifications.html (but upgraded to AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248) - IBM Rack eServer 325 - Dual 2.2GHz AMD Opteron CPUs - Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports - 3 GB total PC2700 ECC DDR RDIMM memory - 120 GB IDE/PATA hard drive w/ OS, extra inserted but unconnected 120 GB IDE/PATA hard drive in adjacent drive bay (might have FreeBSD pre-installed?) - Unit with both IDE/PATA hard drives weighs 30lbs? - Debian GNU/Linux Jessie i386 installed - Completely insecure default login accounts posted on top of and below machine. Further nitty gritty details down below....... likely much TMI The internal fans make a big screeching racket when machine first powered on. Might need some dusting+cleaning+lubrication. Screeching soon disappears once machine passes through BIOS startup screen(s). -- aaronco36 aaronco36@ Nitty Gritty Details Full SMP CPU info ====================== processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 5 model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 stepping : 8 microcode : 0x46 cpu MHz : 2193.026 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 1 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fdiv_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext lm 3dnowext 3dnow vmmcall bogomips : 4386.05 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts ttp processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 5 model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 stepping : 8 microcode : 0x46 cpu MHz : 2193.026 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 1 siblings : 1 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fdiv_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext lm 3dnowext 3dnow vmmcall bogomips : 4386.28 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts ttp Full Memory Info ========================= MemTotal: 3111972 kB MemFree: 2143560 kB MemAvailable: 2472080 kB Buffers: 69812 kB Cached: 436264 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 692480 kB Inactive: 225308 kB Active(anon): 413340 kB Inactive(anon): 21596 kB Active(file): 279140 kB Inactive(file): 203712 kB Unevictable: 32 kB Mlocked: 32 kB HighTotal: 2237896 kB HighFree: 1569908 kB LowTotal: 874076 kB LowFree: 573652 kB SwapTotal: 4610648 kB SwapFree: 4610648 kB Dirty: 120 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 411732 kB Mapped: 145028 kB Shmem: 23236 kB Slab: 31560 kB SReclaimable: 22072 kB SUnreclaim: 9488 kB KernelStack: 2392 kB PageTables: 4892 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB WritebackTmp: 0 kB CommitLimit: 6166632 kB Committed_AS: 2218716 kB VmallocTotal: 122880 kB VmallocUsed: 5392 kB VmallocChunk: 116372 kB HardwareCorrupted: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB DirectMap4k: 16376 kB DirectMap2M: 890880 kB Full Partitioning and Drive-mounting Info ======================================= Disk /dev/sda: 111.8 GiB, 120034123776 bytes, 234441648 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x9ff62775 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 81915434 81913387 39.1G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 81915435 91136744 9221310 4.4G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 91136745 100904264 9767520 4.7G 83 Linux /dev/sda4 100904265 234436544 133532280 63.7G 83 Linux Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 39G 3.0G 34G 9% / udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev tmpfs 608M 32M 577M 6% /run tmpfs 1.5G 68K 1.5G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda3 4.5G 253M 4.0G 6% /var /dev/sda4 63G 93M 60G 1% /home tmpfs 304M 4.0K 304M 1% /run/user/117 tmpfs 304M 8.0K 304M 1% /run/user/1000 Internal Devices Info ======================= 00:06.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

pair programming station and UPSs

by Jake

by "jake's co-working station" robb means "the pair-programming station" which is a desk on wheels with two monitors, two keyboards, and two computers arranged symmetrically so that two people can use the same computer. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ there are three UPS at the pair programming station. One is the one that the station is plugged into, which does not have a USB port, just the weird DE9F socket that may have this pinout: http://www.diger-mobile.narod.ru/pic/apc_conn.gif or this: http://www.junradio.com/mid/UPS/image003.gif there's another large UPS on the floor which got rained on and stopped working, which is unfortunate because it has USB and i actually had it working on a rooftop system, protecting that system from unexpected power failures (it would safely shut down when power went out, and turned back on when power returned) but maybe it could be fixed and the third UPS is a weird 12v thing like this: https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Battery-Backup-Supply-BU3DC000/dp/B004RRX1CG http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/p75319-b-bu3dc000-12v.pdf it doesn't have any alarm outputs (unless you count the LEDs) but since it serves the DC output directly, we can monitor battery voltage the same way it's done at the front door computer - that is, it's 13.7VDC when AC is present but it will go down if the power fails. -jake On Thu, 27 Oct 2016, robb wrote: > there's a working 12v ups by jake's co-working station > > is ccl onboard with locking the door? > > On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 3:43 AM, Marc Juul <juul(a)labitat.dk> wrote: >> We definitely want a door.
