Mechanical Keyboards

by Jonathan Cadle

Is anyone else interested in mechanical keyboards, or just keyboard collecting/customization as a hobby? I got really into it during the pandemic, and I was thinking that organizing some kind of mechanical keyboards meetup could attract additional attention (and possible venue revenue?) for the Omni/Sudoroom. I'd also just love to geek out over builds, cool vintage finds, etc. What do you all think? Jonathan

If you’d like to join to hangout or play a game, message me your interest! 2. *Movie night:* This is very tentative, but if you’d be interested in watching Hackers or Lawnmower Man or something, message your interest and availability in April. Would you rather it be on a weeknight or a weekend? 3. *A Sudo Mesh meeting* (!): I'm trying to organize this on *a Wednesday night or Sunday in late March*.

Copying ideas from Retail stores

by Romy Ilano

I'm pretty busy this week and have an art show in Los Angeles next weekend ( https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/sta/los/ver.cfm?event_id=24476779&fuseactio… ) I had a thought about the space, we're always trying to make it more presentable. I think it would be cool to copy concepts from retail spaces - not really like make SudoRoom a store, but like display projects and make things prettier to lure things in. This could dovetail nicely with the hardware hacking / fashion / light projection projects =D as we oculd turn SudoRoom into more of a gallery spaces while simulatenously making it look nicer. And the cleaning issue would resolve itself in this way because then we'd have to throw things away to make space for blank pages I think this would be super appealing to tech people who are stuck working on software all the time. it would also be a chance to show off team members projects, imagine robot art on a pedetal or hanging on th ewall you can't have a nice retail space without emptiness and it would help us work on the clutter which really drives a lot of people away too ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Introducing myself

by Jonathan Cadle

Hello, I've been lurking in the IRC channel for a bit, and I'd like to formally join the list and see what I can do to contribute to the group as a volunteer. I love computers and technology, and I have a bit of experience troubleshooting/building computers. I do some goofing around with linux now and then, but I wouldn't call myself an expert. I'm also a bit of a mechanical keyboard hobbyist. I'm a short drive/bike ride from the Omni, so I think I can make it to meetings in person now and then. Are there any projects in need of some extra hands?

Hardware and softWEAR* Hacking Tuesday is tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever, in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email) ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing machines available. You're also welcome to bring your own machine to have it checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others. in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway! You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -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

need a Molex Micro Fit 3.0 8-pin connector

by Jake

i'm looking for a connector (with wires already on it ideally but i'll take the kit if that's what's available) like this: https://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/436450800_sd.pdf number 43645-0800 which is the eight-pin connector but i also happen to need two of the two-pin ones, although those are less of a problem for me right now. I'm talking about the "plug" end which has holes for metal pins to stick into, from a connector that mounts on a board. I need the end that goes on wires. thank you! -jake

do you have plastic straws we can use for bike lights?

by Jake

weird question but i'm looking for plastic drinking straws to use for bike wheel lights. I know they're illegal in california so i figure people probably have some stashed and hoarded and don't want to give them up, but we need them. we're planning another bike light making session and then a bikelight installing event before the next East Bay Bike Party, which happens on February 11th from Rockridge BART (nearby sudoroom!) I want to make lights like these to go on wheels: https://www.radlicht.com/store/products/radlicht-bike-wheel-light-red/ we have tons of battery holders with switches, plus we can make some sort of automatic thing to turn them on - not sure how to do that yet so suggestions are welcome! Probably a two-state tilt thing that charges a capacitor to turn on a FET to turn on the lights, so it only takes power when the wheel is turning. -jake

occultation

by Edwinsaurus

Hey Peter, Thanks for drawing my attention to the occultation. It was fun to watch even with the light pollution we have in the city. When mars got very close to the moon, my eyes couldn't see it because the moon is so much brighter but the Griffith Park telescope in LA streamed the view of the setting and rising of mars nicely. Here's a photo taken by my friend Hector in Waterford, CA [image: signal-2023-01-30-182913.jpeg]

Partial Occultation of Mars by Moon Tonight

by Peter Mui

Tonight (Jan 30th) in the early evening, there is a very interesting astronomical event -- an occultation of the planet Mars by the Moon. A full occultation (eclipse) of Mars is visible all across the southern portion of the United States (and further south). For the Bay Area, the Moon will narrowly miss Mars. You have to be south of a line from approximately Soledad through Fresno to see Mars fully covered by the Moon. Closest approach is about 8:54pm PST for the Bay Area. The orange-red color of Mars will make a striking contrast with the silver-white surface of the Moon. This event can be seen naked-eye, but binoculars or a small telescope will definitely help. Cheers, -Peter

Laser cutter.

by cc OrangeLush

This is just a heads up about the laser cutter. PLEASE make sure the chiller is operating/on when you are using the laser. IF you do not know what the chiller is you SHOULD NOT be using the laser cutter. I found the chiller unplugged due to something laying on the power cord causing it to become detached. If we are not vigilant in the start up step of the laser sudoroom will not have one due to operator error. Not wanting to be a castigator just wanting people to know that stupid things like a badly placed object can be the end of great equipment. cc

Requesting a laptop from the laptop locker

by Andrew R Gross

I'd like to take one of the laptops from the laptop closet, and wanted to check if anyone had any plans for it. It's a Sony Vio with some cosmetic damage on the side. Jake said that there's a spreadsheet for tracking the donated laptops, and I wanted to ask for access and instructions on how to withdraw one.

setting up recurring meetings Wednesday nights on the sudoroom calendar

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/sudoroom-meetings-2023-01-25/ I couldn't make the last meeting - but we didn't have meetings set up in our calendar - I'd like to also have this regularly sending out tweets to remind people, I always forget - I guess we should earmark some sudoroom meetings as more significant, larger, so people who can't always go can be poked and reminded of a larger one? I guess ideally too we could have a quarterly email list showing what was going on , what updates we have! It's cool, it was the first time I was able to attend the women in coding group last monday (only online). Maybe i'll join in remotely! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
