Master 175 Combination lock decoding help

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: I have three Master 175-style resettable combination padlocks that I’d like to reuse but I don’t know the combinations so I’d like to decode at least one of them so that I can reset the combination. Apparently Master 175-style resettable combination padlocks are relatively easy to decode, and I tried the technique in this video (using a thin sliver of aluminum) but I don’t have enough experience to have the right touch. Or maybe if I had the right tools it would work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzozWmdrPt0 (I also found this video of a dismantled Master 175 helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmLrw4QjXzg Any locksports out there willing to give this a try? Or aspiring locksports? I’ll bring them tonight to Sudoroom. Or contact me off-list. Many thanks in advance, -Peter

Ham radio transciever build event went great!

by Jake Watters

Yesterday a bunch of people got together to build up their kits of 5 watt digital radio transceivers! These are HF ham radio transmitter/recievers that connect to a computer over USB, and allow communication on digital modes on what we call low frequencies these days (but they're also called Shortwave even though they're now the longest waves we use). Technically one is supposed to have a ham radio license to transmit on these frequencies, although anyone is allowed to listen in. This is the kit they were building: https://qrp-labs.com/qdx.html We used the video microscope and all six soldering stations! It was the most soldering happening at the same time in sudoroom in a long time. The event will happen again on Wednesday. [image: image.png]

What is ISAM The International Symposium on Academic Makerspaces (ISAM) is the preeminent annual meeting for the academic makerspace community. Over a span of 3 days, 300+ faculty, staff, student, and industry leaders gather to share makerspace knowledge, experience and inspiration in order to maximize impact on (i) the student learning experience and (ii) alumni success. Past attendees have included student and faculty advocates, upper administration/leadership, government policy makers, educational researchers makerspace managers, industrial representatives, and other practitioners. This year the organizing host for ISAM2025 is the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation at the University of California, Berkeley. --- Wednesday through Friday, August 6-8, 2025 University of California, Berkeley Symposium Venue: Pauley Ballroom, ASUC Student Union: Martin Luther King Jr. Building Address: 2495 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA 94720 https://isam2025.hemi-makers.org/attend/ Oh, the full conference ticket costs $700.

Concerns about new makerspace in San Francisco (General Lithium) connected to the MAGA/pro-Trump movement and the Military Industrial Complex

by Ashley T

Hello Makerspaces, Hackerspaces, and Everything in Between, I am contacting some makerspaces and hackerspaces in the SF Bay Area about a new makerspace that is connected to the pro-Trump/MAGA movement and to the Military Industrial Complex (more advanced military drones to murder people on behalf of Emperor Trump & USA empire): https://sfstandard.com/2025/01/20/san-francisco-maga-techies/ Their co-founder Justin Laser Bong Zelaya and his connections to the Military Industrial Complex (scroll down for work on CIA-funded National Security Hackathon): https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-zelaya-2236b5292 Both co-founders *Justin Laser Bong Zelaya* and *Tony Loehr *(goes by "forkbomb" in some spaces) are currently or were previously connected with Noisebridge hackerspace. Their website pointing out their connections to a CIA and DoD connected National Security Hackathon: https://general-lithium.com/general-lithium-battery-powers-victory-at-natio… I will find more info/evidence of this group and the individuals connected to them (Justin Laser Bong Zelaya and Tony Loehr/@forkbomb ) *All of this is about hackers & makers & techies who are working with white supremacist, patriarchal, colonialist powers and utilizing hackerspace + makerspace resources for these imperatives.* Ash

Sudo lighting

by Kent Leech

Hey folks, We¹ve got some dead/dying 8' fluorescent tubes hanging above in Sudo. Fixtures are for single nipple at each end. I¹d prefer warmer a color temp, under 4000k. Rather than cobbling together something, we should get the correct replacement bulbs. I found these- https://www.amazon.com/8FT-Bulbs-3000K-6500K-Fluorescent-Replacement/dp/B0C SYMPJHZ?ie=UTF8 I¹m pretty sure the CRI wouldn¹t be that great (the ad doesn¹t mention it). A local industrial lighting store in Concord (CME Lighting) has the Satco #S29917- 3500K 8¹ long led bulbs, 40W 5300 lumens, 82 CRI. $29.95 each. https://www.satco.com/products/S29917 The Satco¹s should fit the bill nicely and very likely be more issue free than the ones from Amazon. Decent CRI, local supplier, etc. We should try two over the incoming area then see if we like them. Any budget in the pot for these? -Kent ----- Kent Leech Illustration http://www.kentleech.com kent(a)kentleech.com +1 (510) 504-0634 -- >_______________________________________________ >sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org >To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org >More options at >https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
