How to set up Wi-Fi or Mesh Network for the City of San Bruno?

by Yosem Companys

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We don't know whether the City will fund it, but we have grassroots volunteers ready to help. Also, I should note the City owns its own cable company. Best, Yosem

ISPs will no longer send copyright alerts in the U.S.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

http://www.pcgamer.com/internet-service-providers-will-no-longer-send-copyr… Internet service providers will no longer send copyright alerts in the U.S.Failed strategy for fighting piracy. "For the past several years internet service providers (ISPs) have been sending copyright alerts to online pirates on behalf of movie studios and record labels. These letters often used intimidating language with threats of hefty fines and service throttling, but much to the dismay to those who supported the effort, the letters were about as effective as spitting in the ocean to raise the tide. Even so, many of those involved in the initiative called the voluntary program a success even though they're choosing not to extend it. “After four years of extensive consumer education and engagement, the Copyright Alert System will conclude its work. The program demonstrated that real progress is possible when content creators, internet innovators and consumer advocates come together in a collaborative and consensus-driven process. CAS succeeded in educating many people about the availability of legal content, as well as about issues associated with online infringement," members of the Center for Copyright Information said in a statement <http://www.copyrightinformation.org/statement/statement-on-the-copyright-al…> . The program offered considerable leeway to pirates. Potential penalties weren't levied until an offender ignored six or more warnings and generally did not include the cancellation of internet service. Part of the reason is that ISPs weren't comfortable with being liable for their customers' behavior and having to penalize them. It took years to hammer out an agreement between major ISPs and both the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Part of the agreement called for the creation of the Center for Copyright Information to take charge of the program and provide a way for those who received notices to challenge them in arbitration. While some are spinning the program as a successful education campaign, Steven Fabrizio, executive vice president and global general counsel at the MPAA, remains frustrated at the lack of results among the worst offenders. "These repeat infringers are the ones who drive ongoing and problematic P2P piracy. In fact, an estimated 981 million movies and TV shows were downloaded in the U.S. last year using P2P," Fabrizio said in a statement, according to Variety <http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/copyright-alerts-piracy-mpaa-comcast-a…> . As to the copyright alert system, Fabrizio said that even though a "significant number" of users stopped pirating content as a result of the alerts, the program "was simply not set up to deal with the hardcore repeat infringer problem." He also said that ultimately it's up to the ISPs to address the issue by leveraging the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

TV white spaces technology?

by Valent Turkovic

Hi, is anyone tracking how are things developing regarding TV white spaces technology [1] in US and EU? Microsoft has been doing some pilots [2] in Africa and Ofcom in UK [3], and there is a interesting study [4]. But I don't see if it is actually possible to buy any 2nd or 3rf gen devices either in US or EU. If anyone has some links please share them. What is the current legal situation, will tv white spaces spectrum be free to use, ie ISM or not? I have seen some discussions at the end od 2015regarding making tv white spaces ISM but nothing since then. I was trying to find some up to date information for EU and tv white space technology, but came short. If anyone is tracking this please share any info you have. Thanks, Valent.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Door hacking

by Jake

> I'll see what I can manage. Do you have a datasheet for the latch > release scheme you're using? i don't understand. you just flip the pin high for a few seconds like it does in the code and it unlatches the door. i guess you probably mean the motor controller shield, which is listed on line 12 of the code: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoMotorShieldR3 but we won't be using that anymore, so the latch function will be very simple, just flipping a pin to undo the latch. the complicated part will be driving the three-phase permanent-magnet motor that I just rigged up, which will be the front-door opener for the omni: http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/omnidoormotor1.png http://i.imgur.com/FUp1dvu.jpg basically i will be controlling about 6 pins to drive that motor, and monitoring 2 pins which will tell me quadrature of its position for that purpose. and another output pin will control the latch. this is a diagram of a similar motor, except it shows three hall-effect sensors and i think our motor might only have two, is that possible? I need to look. http://www.avdweb.nl/Article_files/Solarbike/Motor-controller/4-Pole-brushl… this is the chip in the motor controller that I will be using, i worked on it last night and am half-done wiring it up: http://www.intersil.com/en/products/space-and-harsh-environment/harsh-envir… there are three of those, to control two three-phase permanent-magnet motors, because each motor needs three I-bridges. Since we only need one motor to move the door, i'll just use one of the ones on the second side for the latch solenoid. here are pictures of what i was doing last night: http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/2017-01/doormotor.html all you need to do is get the RFID code that Henner wrote to compile in arduino, and i can do the rest. what do you think of that? i look forward to working with you on this, i think it will be more fun and rewarding than some of the stuff we were doing before, since we'll actually be getting the door to open and close from software. the other thing is that there's more of a deadline on this project, since we're apparently able to get in trouble for not being ADA compliant. -jake

Video shooting in CCL Monday

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, Just a quick heads-up that there will be a video crew shooting some footage in CCL this Monday. So please try to keep any noise to a minimum, especially within CCL / Sudo. We've scheduled the actual shooting to be mostly in the morning and early afternoon, so hopefully it won't interfere with other activities in the space. Thanks! Patrik

help build a motorized front-door opener for omni commons

note: this email goes to four lists. Please reply only to the Access and Building lists to avoid clogging Omni and Sudo lists with this thread.

...which is most irrational and patently absurd, so if i ever do it myself, i sincerely hope i catch myself, cease, and desist (and 'catch myself' includes being caught: let's put the virtue -- the 'face' -- back into willing admission/self-correction of error). here's a philosophical hypothesis: it might all go back to the concept of 'usury' and the dominant concept of money. this might best be illustrated by an often mistranslated, or misremembered adage: *AMOR PECUNIÆ RADIX MALORUM* money is not the root of evil. * the love of money* is the root of evil. anyways, ff On Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 9:23 AM, Sonja Trauss <sonja.trauss(a)gmail.com> wrote: > "our" side does this reasoning all the time.

donation of vinyl cutter and rolls of vinyl

by Jake

attention sudoroom: do we want to accept a donation of a vinyl cutter which comes with a bunch of rolls of different colors of vinyl material? I know noisebridge has one but they also have a lot more space than we do. I understand the rolls of vinyl take up most of the space. he says the machine works but it uses a serial interface, and probably windows software. I think we could easily set up a computer to dedicate to it so it wouldn't be a barrier to someone who wanted to use it without going through a software oddysey first. i'm guessing it looks something like this: https://productrealization.stanford.edu/content/05-resources/02-processes/1… On Fri, 9 Dec 2016, Cory Albert wrote: > Jake: do you know of anyone active in the printed artist's spaces that I > Cory could donate a big roll of vinyl and vinyl cutters to for sign > making?

Makerspace at Mosswood Park

by Rick Abruzzo

Hello Sudoroom, Jake Spaz mentioned there was some discussion on this list about the Makerspace and suggested I join so you can ask me questions directly. I'm going to include here the update I sent to the interested parties earlier today so you can have a clear idea of where we are at and what the current challenges are: Hey all, I wanted to give you an update on the Maker Space. Myself and Erin Burton, the director of Mosswood Park, were hoping to have access to 'the barn' by now but as it stands its still fenced off, even though its structurally sound. This is just to keep people away from the Rec center which is a burnt husk. I think first important step in building a proposal is getting a tour of the building and seeing what already exists and what we can do with it. Unfortunately Oakland DPW isn't promising access to the Barn till late March, mid April. Erin can enter it but she can't bring guests. Also I have made contact with Sudoroom and they have an open forum meeting the 2nd Wednesday of the month which I hope to attend in February to give a pitch. I have not heard back from Ace Toy Monster or Mothership Hackermoms. If you know anyone over there you can poke to see if there are members willing to contribute to the proposal or commit to a build out once the proposal is approved, that would be most welcome. Erin already mentioned the makerspace to DPW and they grumbled and said no. Erin says we should ignore this and I agree. Any DPW in any city in the world's main job is to say no, even if it doesn't draw from their resources because from their point of view any changes to anything single thing, even the changing of the wind, effects their resources. DPW isn't tasked on building a community, we are, so froward we march. If you have any suggestions on how to best utilize our time till we can gain access to the Barn, I'm open to suggestions. Thank you for your time and your patience, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. always, RICK! -- FIGMENT Oakland: oakland.figmentproject.org Oakland Awesome Foundation: awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/oakland/ Dancehall of Beautiful Radiant Things: dancehallofbeautifulradiantthings.com Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Portfolio

This may include drones but also ways to hack planes. There's some excitement over flying car start-ups in the bay area lately as well, although that stuff up until now has been very costly. I'm sure there are lots of amateur plane makers all over, and I know that gliders bought used are as much as very cheap used cars. I've met people who worked at big airplane companies, but to be honest, I've never seen much on open sourced flight information. Does anyone get the opportunity to hack on that stuff? It always seems to be interesting rich people. In the ultimate MFA senior thesis in college, a rich classmate bought an entire plane for a sculpture, and what can I say, that stuff looks pretty cool.

I don't know the details - something about tight flight paths in the mountains, and one of the local tech billionaires pissed people off so much flying his jet loudly in the south bay that private flights are banned in Silicon Valley. But hey! It's always good to know.

New Wiki: Movement/Trains

by Romy Ilano

We need a SudoRoom wiki page on trains. Many members are huge train enthusiasts, taking the Capitol Corridor to work on the South Bay or the Caltrain. A lot of SudoRoom members regularly Amtrak their way to hacker conferences all over the country! Nerds are fierce bike and Caltrain advocates in Silicon Valley, and they are known to pelt well meaning but surprised officials with elaborate spreadsheets explaining the lower cost per rider of a bike train place than a parking spot place. It'd be cool to see more hacker advocacy, as local trains have increased service this year on the Amtrak due to higher ridership. Preliminary Wondering[edit <https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Movement/Trains&action=edit&…> ] - How do trains work? - Are trains still hackable? - What ever happened to model trains building and collecting? How will we live with ourselves until the 2019, when the model train section <http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/exhibitions/transport/model-railway/> of the Deutsches Museum is open for the public again? - Will the USA ever get the gleaming speed trains being put up with blinding speed in China? - Has anyone ever tried to illegally hack together a new railways system in some kind of squatter/burning man area or interesting part of town? - Some people are building handmade railcars to explore abandoned railway systems at the TechShop - Neat! http://www.instructables.com/id/Railcar-Project-Techshop/ https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement/Trains ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Mac Minis donation

by Carl Gorringe

Hey Sudoers, I came by Sudo Room Wednesday and dropped off a donation of 13 Mac Minis! They were donated by Liz from Mozilla. Some other hackerspaces also got some including Noisebridge. Specs: mid-2010 model, Core 2 Duo cpu, 4 or 8GB RAM, 320 GB HD (wiped clean), DVD-RW drive, HDMI video out. They are missing power cables (but they're standard and power is built-in). They'll work with the latest Mac OS - just need to be installed. Or you can install Linux. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini#Specifications_3 Enjoy! -Carl G

Hardware Hack Night: Movement - Car and bike related stuff

by Romy Ilano

Hey everyone, I'm excited about Hardware hack night. I'm continuing my connected car hack (using the automatic API) so I can track my car and do fun experiments: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement I'm going to focus on completing a project and having something to present by the next meeting, and giving tips on how I did it. In the future I'd like to: - Encourage people who drive cars to exercise more - Find ways to enable people to ride the Amtrack more by make tools that solve the last mile problem, since we sorely need more rail in the East Bay - explore topics around hacking wheelchairs.

Paper towel dispensers?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

How do we feel about paper towel dispensers at the Omni? Are we intentionally doing without, to save some trees? Are people worried the paper towel roll will get stolen? Or have we just not bothered putting any up yet? I'm planning to get one for our lab sink in CCL, but I'd love to have one in each bathroom at the Omni. Touchless towel dispensers start at $25 at Office Depot. There's probably better places to get them too... Patrik PS: Ditto for wall-mounted soap dispensers...

Hello Barrett, (I am not sure if this email is spam or legit. I hope is the second one.) I don't know about how you can get funds for your book, and I am not sure if members of Sudoroom can help you either, since that is not necessarily in our mission. However, I am forwarding your email to our main discuss list, and if you would like to provide more information on a second email, please do, so I can forward that one as well. Good luck! #daniel On Mon, Dec 12, 2016 at 12:20 PM, Barrett Booth <bbooth0000(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > My name is Barrett Booth. > > I am interested in learning about ways of obtaining funding for a book > project.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] Proposal: Repurpose 'Omni1' 501c3 into a Land Trust

by David Keenan

Hi all, So sorry to spam all the lists.. After a month, I'm bumping this proposal up again for this Thursday's omni delegates' meeting / GA, because it has become suddenly pressing in the wake of the Ghostship fire. I was really hoping member collectives might be able have had some discussion about this and hopefully attned this thursday's meeting to achieve quorum (and maybe even, pass the proposal? :) The proposal is in essence the following: 1. Repurpose Omni's 'extra' 501c3 corporation we no longer need, which originally was going to be wound down, to be used as a non-profit Land Trust and resource specifically for DIY / community spaces (also for DIY living spaces) currently in need of much support as they are presently facing a wave of punitive code enforcement and eviction. 2. For this to happen, some logistical hoops have to be jumped through: - Complete the disengagement of omni's finances of last year, from our old 501c3. Yes, I'm told this could take a while, but I'm optimistic :) - Mild modifications to the old c3's statement of purpose, charitable activities, bylaws (this being mostly low-level stuff.) Jesse, our lawyer, has verified this should be possible. 3. After such a proposal was approved and the necessary logistical steps taken, this land trust could then optionally become omni's land trust, at the collective's choosing -- i.e., a Trust ensuring that the building stays used for community use into the foreseeable future and follows its own bylaws, founding document, statement of solidarity etc long after we are all gone. Personally I think this is very important to the long-term survival of omni, but that particular aspect, of being Omni's land trust specifically, is *not* part of the scope of this proposal at this time, as it would have to be a later and more substantial proposal unto itself, encompassing many logistical aspects. So this proposal is just a proposed use for our old 501c3, for when we have fully disengaged our finances from it and no longer need it. 4. In the immediate wake of Ghostship (note: which occurred after I made the original proposal), members of the wider oakland community assembled to help DIY spaces stave off eviction, code-related closures, and to commit core fire life-safety improvements: The 'DIY Safety Group'. This group, which I (among many) helped to assemble, currently raises donations for such work, and this money is presently being stewarded by Omni as a fiscally sponsored project to the tune of ~7% in fees (not atypical for a sponsoring 501c3.) The sooner Omni is able able to unmoor our 'extra' 501c3 corporation to use as a land trust dedicated to helping and preserving DIY spaces like Omni, the sooner that group can take on the accounting overhead, eliminate this 7% fee and rather use 100% of funds raised to help other critical community spaces are currently being actively threatened. Anyhow I am hoping the dire needs of the community at large in this time is enough to get quorum Thursday and hopefully, consensus on the productive use of this extra c3 per this proposal :) If anyone has any questions or objections, please fire away :) Best, David On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 8:19 AM, Kazoo Studios <lovekazoo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hey David! > > I like the way you're thinking, and the direction things are moving. > Creating the land trust out of the former c3 seems prudent in terms of > effort, money, and time.

privacy / crypto group - any ideas for a workshop on privacy with home voice assistants?

by Romy Ilano

Hey privacy folks - I recently got an Amazon Dash (Echo) and I'm messing around with Alexa. While there are a lot of great things about it, and I'm having fun as a developer creating, I'm interested to see what your perspective is for mainstream people. I saw this article on wired: https://www.wired.com/2016/12/alexa-and-google-record-your-voice You can tease me if you want: I use Siri and I'm interested in Alexa, and I'm sure many of you would never want to use these things. But I'm interested in the advantages and disadvantages of stuff like Alexa and Google Home. I'd love to hold a little workshop on it sometime, maybe after a meeting in January. Any opinions? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

non-profit/collective bike rentals / bike shares

by Romy Ilano

Hey matt, I have a guest in town from Greece. We are doing the usual bike rental thing from a cool bike shop. But are there alternatives to for-profit bike rental in Oakland? Does your collective rent bikes? Can people rent bikes on a platform for something that's not part of a big corporation or a start-up? Best, Romy ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

transportation hack group -> let's start one

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/hacking-a-tesla-at-hardware-hack-night/ Hey I stopped by sudoroom! and the hardware guys were hacking on a tesla. We have people working at a bike collective too. we are all passionate about trains, I think some sudoroom members have travelled cross country on train as well. And we all know that we love BART and it needs all the help it gets as it reaches epic overcrowding. I'm going to start a SudoRoom transportation hack group! We can cross fertilize at Noisebridge... So there it is! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement I started the Wiki. I'll have more time over break to help out. Some thoughts: - I do not want to this to only be about ride share, although that's important. It'd be cool to have a communal, non-profit alternative to the current car sharing options out there. - Trains!!!!! - Cars - although I don't know that much about cars, I have worked for a car company and have owned a car for the past ten years. I still don't know that much about cars! There is no such thing as a car mechanic collective the way there is a bike mechanic collective. Bike collectives often have a "get to know you bike night" and nothing of that kind exists for cars. The only time I've interacted with cars is at car dealerships and at work and at a mechanic. Until recently I've received little or no detailed data about my car, and its health until a start-up had one of its indie mechanics fill out a "Car report card" for me. I'd love to have something similar for us! Rock on hope you are all enjoying your break! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
