Filezilla Call for Participation: Secure File Storage & Sharing

by Karissa McKelvey

Hey everyone, we're doing a short study and I think someone from the sudoroom community could be a good fit, anyone interested in talking about your experience or know someone who fits the bill? Do you need to share files privately with a limited and select number of people? Are you concerned about security or access, and don't want to use commercial providers like Dropbox? Have you ever tried setting up a self-hosted server, like FTP, FileZilla, or NextCloud, to do this? We're booking 15-30 minute conversations to hear more about your needs. We are Rae and Kelsey from Simply Secure. Thanks to support from the Open Tech Fund <http://opentech.fund/>, we're working on making sensitive file storage, backup, and sharing much easier. Sign up on this brief form <https://form.jotform.com/filezilla/usability-interviews> or send an email to filezilla(a)simplysecure.org to get started. Thanks so much and looking forward to speaking with you soon, -- Rae McKelvey Researcher, Simply Secure decentralization off the shelf <https://decentpatterns.xyz> | about me <https://okdistribute.xyz>

fridge

by Edwinsaurus

I cleaned out a full trash can of moldy and rotten shit from this same fridge a month or 2 ago. apparently it has reverted to the same state as before. I think it is a bio hazard, breeding flies, spores, bacteria and other organisms that we don't need in Omni Commons. I think that the best solution would be to dispose of it.

I'm resigning as omni delegate

by Yardena Cohen

Hi all, I've been sudoroom's delegate to omni commons on/off for many years. I don't want to do it anymore and I think it's time for someone else to step up. I'm happy to help prep new folks for that, but I'm not going to wait around for a transition period. If nobody else steps up by next month, sudoroom will become "inactive" and will no longer be able to block consensus decisions. Best, Yar

Looking to gift a used CNC to anyone who has the space/time

by Jack Kern

Many years ago I had my small CNC hosted at sudo, I don't think it got much use as I wasn't around to help people learn it. Currently that machine is just sitting in storage now and it feels like a waste to keep it there. I'm trying to clear out this storage unit and my move out date is the 28th of this month. The system was gifted to me, and I have since gotten it working again and learned a bunch -- I would love to pass that gift along to someone else who has the time and space to actually use this thing! I would be happy to help with setup and getting it running wherever it lands. Runs on mach3 on windows, I'll include the desktop and everything seen here. I'm guessing it weighs around 150lbs, definitely need a couple people to move it. Let me know if I can answer any other questions! Cheers, Jack [image: IMG_8531.jpg][image: IMG_8545.jpg][image: 59E3DE31-F32F-4040-826D-ECF25814A53F.JPG]
