Moving out

by Nick Mapsy

Hi all, Just wanted to let people know that it turns out I'll be moving back to the east coast soon, which unfortunately means I'll be ending my membership bid with Sudo Room. It was really nice meeting everyone who I had a chance to run into, and I was looking forward to getting more involved in the community. But the east coast has made its call, so looks like my time here will be cut short. Best, Nick

Internet down at Omni

by Marc Juul

The internet is down. Both the gateway is down and the wifi access points are not showing up. I have not yet troubleshooted why the access points are down but that may be simply because the gateway is gone. The gateway overheated and may be dead. It had no CPU fan and no case fans. It only had a small fan on the northbridge and that fan wasn't working. We have not been able to get it to boot even after letting it cool, resetting the CMOS and installing an oversized fan. We have a couple of more things to try but it looks like it's dead. I will try to swap in a different computer. -- marc/juul

If not the old monitor is near the GCEA computers. I also replaced the M.2 SSD Linux install on the Hackintush with a regular 2.5" SSD drive with Linux, the previous M.2 install was flaky, frequently giving me cryptic messages and not booting. But I experienced some extreme weirdness when I was messing with the computer which I meant to report to the list, but my brain don't work so good any more, and it was never particularly great in the first place, so it slipped my mind when I got home. First, I wanted to use the desk lamp with the CFL bulb to see what I was doing under the table, but it wasn't working. The power strip was plugged in near the Cat 5 jack, so I tried plugging the power strip into the wall socket near the hackintush, no joy. I tried another power strip, no luck, then I realized that the lights on the power strips were not lit up, _*BOTH*_ of the wall sockets are dead. I astutely noticed all the extension cords bringing power from outside of the office, so I plugged in to an extension and finally was able to get a light on. So I got on my belly and grabbed the Hackintosh and got a pretty substantial jolt even though I had flipped the switch off on the power supply. So I pulled the Hack's power cable and continued to get little shocks most whenever I touched the computer's body. I have NEVER had anything like this happen in a close to 30 years of mucking with 'puters. I asked Dante if concrete conducted electricity, and he didn't think so, but then he looked it up and told me that concrete is an excellent conductor. My guess is that whoever installed the electrical outlets, cough...Gerald...cough.. mucked things up with the ground and basically the whole office is now acting like some sort of ground. I actually don't know shit about electricity, I discussed my experience with Yar, Jenny & Rob, and they all said this sort of thing shouldn't be happening, but they were a bit out of their depths fixing it, and I should talk to my friend...Gerald. With friends like me who needs enemas? Maybe Jake or Marc have a theory, I'll CC the sudoroom list and the building folks. Anywho, when I fired up the new Linux install I initially got the same error messages that I was getting from the old M.2 Linux install. So I tried O$X and got the same weird rebooting behavior you got, Anka. On subsequent boots both the Linux and the Mac sides worked fine, so I figured whatever it was had worked its way out of the system. Yes, I know, I'm an idiot, and I don't need you lot to remind me. FWIW, Windows booted like a champ when I fired it up to adjust the monitors and update the operating system. Before I could 'troubleshoot' too much more my first wife came by the Omni to offer us a ride home, and I didn't feel like hoofing it back 4 miles to home with with my geriatric mongrel Einstein. So since I have never been shocked by an unplugged computer before I'm guessing the machine is being surged with static electricity <https://www.howtogeek.com/169994/how-to-protect-your-pcs-hardware-from-stat…> and it might be damaging the machine, but is certainly fucking with its functionality. What we may need to do is hire an actual electrician to sort out the power situation in the office if we can't find anyone to do it for free, I'll certainly throw a C note or two at it at it. In the mean time, we could try and figure out what doesn't conduct electricity and put the computers on that. Diamond <https://www.thoughtco.com/examples-of-electrical-conductors-and-insulators-…> is supposed to work well, but if we don't have enough of that lying around, dry wood also apparently serves. I can also try replacing the power supply, but I'm almost certain that isn't the issue. In the meantime, at least with me, trying to boot again seemed to work. I will duck my head in tonight after the LL film and see if I can't scare up a little wood to put under the machines (that didn't come out quite right, but you get the idea).

Fwd: [omni-consensus] FYE Collective Application

by Yardena Cohen

Hey Sudoers! These folks from the FYE collective want to join Omni. They're offering $350+ for a basement room that's currently vacant except for some junk. It's also got a messed up wall and a missing door and they're offering to fix it up. They'd also be maintaining the 'media lab' basement area adjacent to sudo (as common space). Our next delegates meeting is in a week (Thursday June 6). It would be great if people could reply ASAP with any questions or concerns they have, so we could consent next week. This is a 3 month trial period, so no huge risk to us. I've met with Asaad and Shido a few times. I love the positive energy they bring, and I think they are a really great fit for Omni. Thanks! Yar ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: FYE Collective <fye.collective(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, May 30, 2019 at 12:36 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] FYE Collective Application To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, <artbyshido(a)gmail.com>, <abbenmiloud(a)gmail.com> Greetings to all This is Asaad Bruno (AB) on behalf of FYE Collective - reaching out with a final application to join Omni. Attached is our application and an introductory roster of the collective's core. We had presented a draft in final stages of this application during the last delegate meeting, receiving encouraging and constructive feedback. So we tailored our proposal down to a tangible plan, agreed as fair and dynamic, and now finally finished it after reviewing logistics with David K. yesterday, notably to activate/occupy Office #8 and the Community Lab. The process of discovering and integrating has been very educational, allowing to learn with excitement. We thank you all thus far in making this experience valuable in many ways, especially being facilitated by kind souls with creative spirit. Our collective is eager for the future growing with Omni! With the next delegate meeting a week away, we are hoping this application can reach as many collectives/members as possible for further advancement :) Please feel free to reach us with any feedback - encouragement or concern. Thank you all for your consideration and time in processing this application. With love, AB FYE Collective fye.collective(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

merging stuff from omni storage

by Yardena Cohen

We've been cleaning and renovating Omni's storage closet for the past week. A lot of the stuff in there might be better off in Sudoroom, and some of it is duplicated. Anyone object to merging the collections? I'm especially thinking of: * fasteners, bits * tools * electrical supplies (wire, conduit, junction boxes) * materials (wood, metal) We wouldn't merge everything - things that are high value or likely to be stolen would stay in omni storage. Thoughts? Offers to help? :)

Re: [sudo-discuss] sudoroom 3D printer is working!

Nope, just finding a good adhesive for reattaching it is hard. I ended up just using an open cell foam pad to push the header on the glass mechanically.
