- sudo-discuss - sudoroom.org

by Lovi

Sudo room is a disaster of flooding! Thanks Patrick. A black bin was full to overflowing where the tesla coil had been. But there are still leaks everywhere. David suggested we could borrow some totes from the basement so I did. I grabbed anything that wasnt porous or obviously filled and not dumpable. Micheal and I each spent several hours mopping and vaccuuming and bucketing. Michael says he gave them a bargain basement proposal for the roof (covering supplies moastly in March. This is not his fault! There are a million seam on the roof because of how previous people cut the sheets to go around the windows and everyone was so focused on the ballroom and that part of the roof drains to sudo area with no outlet. If you care about Sudo or things in it please show up to rescue it in next day or so.

Omni Roof leaks status - CCL-urgent

by David Keenan

CCL: has multiple significant leaks. * IMO, a ccl member if at all possible needs to come on-site stat to assess lab & equipment if they haven’t already. * in the event the sump pump is at all inactive or affecting flow of ccl drain, I cleared away items in front of access hatch in NW lab. ** If possible I would like all shelving / items in NW corner of the NW lab temporarily removed asap in case the sump pump itself needs to be accessed / assessed, which is presently blocked by interior siding / shelving here (predating Omni’s possession of premises.) * * sump pump function to me as a layman looks unrelated to roof drain flow over CCL, but roofer may want to check this to be sure. * if it can’t be feathered up, west edge of building may need additional roof drains. Water collects here and flows too slowly to NW roof drain, the indent in the roof here appears to lead to thicker layers of elastomeric collecting here which it turned out did not have enough time to cure before the weather turned. Ballroom: three leaks, one on main floor (severity: medium), one on east mezzanine (medium), one on south mezz (mild) Roof drainage: - 48th st drain near corner door: is flooded / partially blocked at 2nd-story air gap, resulting waterfall down side of building. Water is flowing off roof but itappears that roof drainage is insufficient on this side and an additional drain must be added. Termination for this drain at curb: I just noticed is only about 20% of drain orifice, significantly reducing flow rate of bottom portion of drain. To fix, either the street must be dug out a bit around opening to unblock, or the sidewalk must be trenched and the horizontal drain level raised. - 48th st drain closer to ANV room: drainage works but appears pretty slow; & termination at curb is 50% of orifice. - 48th st drain near trash room (from ccl): flows, but w/ 60% clear orifice at curb face The rest of omni from a cursory check appears leak-free.

Active leaks in CCL and Sudo

by Patrik D'haeseleer

I counted at least five active leaks in CCL, four in Sudo - details below. I put bins under the worst ones. The water leaking through is milky, which suggests some of the roof coating is dissolving. Can't stay here all day, but it would be good to have several more visits from Sudo and CCL members while the rains continue the next two days! In CCL, we were getting leaks on the HPLC again (tarped, but some water pooling on the bench), on the bioreactor table (which was *untarped*, but most of the water seems to have landed on the table. Cleaned up and tarped now, but an expert should come look!), and on the cart with some electronics right in front of the big screen TV. Sahib and I moved the 3rd bench, bioreactor table and some other gear out of harm's way, mopped, and put down a few more tarps. In Sudo, there was a very active leak right on the big Tesla coil. I pulled it away and put a large bin there. Also active leak right on the first table. Quick sketch of leak locations attached below. Patrik

Hardware Hack Tuesdays proposal

by David Keenan

Hi fellow Sudoers, I would like to propose that the weekly HHT’s begin by a 10min period of emptying sudo’s garbage, and cleaning out the fridge. I recently emptied the overflowing sudo garbage zone again and had to stomp out a bunch of cockroaches. Needless to say its an entirely avoidable situ and this life hack of regularly emptying waste bins regularly will only make sudo a more welcoming place. It will also aid in preparation for walking banks and lenders through, and reduce the maintenance load instead conducted by other omninoms when sudo lapses in this regard. Can this be adopted as a proposal for the next sudo / HHT meeting? with love - David

Re: sudoroom.org migration happening now (Yardena Cohen)

by John Doeadeer

Hi folks. Most of you havent met me, i go by jonnika. I donated an 8tb backup server to the room about five weeks back at OHWH Night i think mike was present. I have been dealing with some non covid related health issues, otherwise i would have been a bit more active. I hope this is both pertinent and helps the cause. I also have a contribution id like to make regarding the mesh project-as well as becoming an active member of the group as a whole. Stay safe!

Need volunteers for Omni Roof work Fri-Sat!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Mike Tenuto, who will be doing roof work at Omni, is requesting volunteers to help out* tomorrow Friday and especially Saturday 10am-5:3-pm*. Please pitch in if you have some time - Mike is giving us a $4K discount if we can provide him with some extra hands! I believe part of the work will consist of hauling buckets of roofing compound up the stairs, and helping spread it out. May want to bring some shoes and pants that can stand to get dirty... Looking forward to no more leaks at the Omni! Patrik

Lovi introduction.

by Lovi

Hello my name is Lovi, and I am a consulting gardener and Sacred Geometry artist and am from Portland and San Francisco. I grew up in Portland and move to SF when I was a teen. I graduated in SF and studied Environmental Education up north at a very progressive college (Black Lives Matter!). My father's family is from Oakland and SF. I have been a part of several collective environments including DIY community bike shops such as Bike Farm in Portland(2017-2018), and Food Not Bombs in SF(2000-1), Olympia(2007-8), and Bellingham(2010-11). As well as the biking communities in Portland and SF. I have lived extensively off-grid with only solar power in the woods as well. I had been working at Noisebridge and will again but am taking a break for a couple weeks as I was putting too much time in working on their laser cutter ventilation without being able to make art and the pressure of that and mourning family from SF who have passed started getting to me very bad when I moved back just a month before. The quietness of Sudo Room appeals to me at the moment but I hope to help Sudo grow in membership by helping out the website with copywriting and design help, and also printing promotional signage or other graphic design and in other ways participating in boosting membership and involvement I have been working with the laser cutter these last few days, and I can now cut through 1/8th inch acrylic in one pass. There are improvements to be made but I won't digress. In my life broadly I am a plant geek but have been focusing more on tech and art these last few years. I've been using Linux since 2011. I'm studying JavaScript. For art I have made glow in the dark black light reactive sacred geometry screen-prints, and have moved on to laser cutting in last few years as it is more exact and I like to help teach people about the actual patterns in the universe and natural history through my art. Broadly I wish to inspire folks to cultivate a sense of environmental, alchemical, and universal awareness through my art. Hail Gaia

Fwd: [omni-finance] EBC roof fix quote & skylight quote

by Yardena Cohen

Sudoers, any objections to omni spending $12k now (plus $12k later) to fix our roof? Deal of the decade IMHO. Can we consent on this by tonight? Also, who's tonight's delegate? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Nov 18, 2021 at 2:32 PM Subject: Re: [omni-finance] EBC roof fix quote & skylight quote To: David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> Cc: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, building <building(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, <finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org> <finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org> David I thought you were gonna tell me when you were meeting Mike at Omni!

I think Omni should jump at this opportunity. $12k for a 7-year guarantee on the whole roof, plus another $12k that we don't need to pay until refi? AND skylights? It's a no-brainer to me. It's a chunk of our current savings, and we'll need to be extra frugal after this, but 100% necessary. Hardest part may be finding 7 dry days in a row, and 3 volunteers to commit to being there 3 days in a row. I can to commit to being one of them - can 2 other people commit to that also?

That's not so much and so just speaking personally, I am not as concerned about the structural impacts of the weight of the additional layer as I would otherwise be, though others may be concerned (since it's also true we don't know how many layers of roof we presently have, as we have not yet cored the roof.) > > Skylight replacement quote: > > - $8.945.21 incl. donating his labor time (!) to Omni. > > - Needs 100% down to schedule as skylights would be custom-ordered. > > My thoughts: > > Mike seems incredibly nice.

potential diy fix macbook

by Juhlz VT

Hello! A friend referred me to Sudo to see if anybody could maybe help me out in fixing my laptop. It's a 2014 macbook pro, the battery had been fussy for a while, then I didn't use it for a couple months and it started getting slower with the mouse freaking out frequently. Then my friends cats knocked a small amount of water onto it which I cleaned up, and now it wont turn on. The charger also won't charge it. Hopefully it's just an issue with the battery, what do ya'll think? Thanks so much, Juhlz

El or Ellis set fires in the building

by Jake

Tuesday night around 10PM, two people came into Sudoroom while we were having "Hardware Hacking Tuesdays" and one of them said he had been there before, and he said his name was "El" or "Ellis". He was about 5'10" and had short black dreadlocks and no glasses. I don't remember his friend's name, but he left after not too long. El asked for help with setting up speakers, asked if he could use the computer for something, asked for various tools and seemed to be working on something like hacking a piece of network gear that had been in the e-waste pile, which seemed normal enough for someone coming to hardware hack night. We helped with various requests but mostly he worked on it by himself. He had his phone connected to the speakers near the laser cutter, and a few times I had to ask him to turn down the music because it was making it harder for us to talk to each other, but it wasn't a big deal. He asked if he could smoke inside, which was one of several times the topic of fire came up. Apparently at some point he said "I like to set things on fire" but I didn't hear that. We told him that people don't smoke indoors and someone took him outside and showed him the side doors so he could smoke out there, and then he came back in. He went out and came back in a couple of times. Around 12:45 AM, I got up to go to the bathroom and when I got to the door to the hallway next to CCL's entrance, it was closed, so I opened it and he was standing there and said "there's a fire" and I turned and looked and there was a paper shopping bag on the floor that was on fire. I yelled and stomped out the fire and the others came to help. He said "You locked me out. You stole my phone". I told him to gather his shit and we escorted him to get his phone and other items, and I escorted him to the door and made sure he had all his stuff with him and he left. I was unable to get a picture of him. After he left I looked at the area where he was standing, and there had been a sign or paper on the door that had been entirely burned, as well as the paper bag set on fire. I poured water on everything and made sure there was no fire left. Myself and the others present then went around the whole building to see if there was anyone else inside the building. The side doors (on 48th street) were not latched, although they were mostly closed. We should probably try to make those doors close automatically. If anyone else has information on "El" aka "Ellis" please speak up. One person said "Well that's horrible. That guy has been to sudo many times before" good night -jake

Basement items being removed

I believe this had been sudo’s, but I’m not sure. - 1x heavy piece of what I believe is motorized bookbinding equipment. - Large mirror from basement kitchen, & plates / kitchen supplies from its NW pantry Removal of the basement items has been been noticed before, but I just wanted to make sure y’all were aware David
