Dear Sudo Room Community & The Omni Commons at Large,
Approximately two years ago, I was asked to leave the Omni Commons for a
month, and to only come back if I have a person who would sponsor(chaperon)
my presence. My attempt to return has been self-prolonged so that I can
focus on other major aspects of my life. I attended the April Sudo Room
meeting to discuss my mediation and return more in depth, explained I do
not want to do the sponsor item upon my return because I feel it would be
healthier to come back when thorough mediation has occurred with the
elements of clear communication, assurance, certainty, and expectations.
At that very positive and supportive meeting, we were able to go over a bit
about how my behavior was negative, destructive, and hazardous to the
community. I also was able to express lightly some of the reasons for my
inconvenient actions, which particularly were based on my narrow-sided and
hyper-focused, mindset at the time. I then asked the people in attendance,
for guidance to continue forth with my mediation. The optimal response I
received was to write a letter to the Sudo Room community with some
specifics that should be included, then come to the meeting after to
discuss.
At that time in my life two-three years ago, I was not really in a stable
situation, and was spending an excessive and unhealthy amount of time at
the Omni Commons. Not to mention was the cause of me being banned from
another Hackerspace. It was through my own idiosyncrasy, which caused my
narrow-sided hyper-focused mindset; encompassed by the semi-obsessive
desire to get projects completed. At the time I was unable to realize these
bugs in my personality and how my actions affected the people around me,
nor the negative impacts they have attributed too.
In the meeting, I also discussed some of the my life changes over the past
two years-positively exonerating some of my previous destructive
personality traits. Which instilled a calmer, thoughtful, open mind, to my
current presence. Some changes I merit are: first ever family road trip
with my sister (whom we were split up with since we were kids), brother in
law, and immediate family, to Mexico for the holidays, renting a car for
the first time, going on a solo road trip for the first time, changing my
diet, quitting alcohol and caffeine, working out, and setting obtainable
goals for myself.
It was through my patience that I decided not to immediately pursue
mediation because it would have been very similar (history would have
repeated), but rather minimize that to work on other areas of my life.
While I was away, I obtained solid housing, started receiving disability
(for an assault & 2²" hole left in my skull), medical/dental, working
out/fasting, bought a car, taking classes, traveling, got a gym membership,
and finally was able to have the tranquility to sit down and write this
letter. I have also personally grown from the previous two years.
Being able to return to Sudo Room and the Omni Commons is paramount to me
for the aspects of learning, community, place to complete projects, like
mindedness, relationship building (and yes repairing), and also because of
the good nature it has at large. As stated earlier, Mediation, Assurance,
Certainty, Expectations, and Communication, being achieved (especially with
the people that were impacted negatively) are my own standards for
returning. In addition, after my potential return, I infer that my past
destructive patterns of my behavior, will not be a problem because of the
positive personal changes. Some are: a lot more centered, better at
listening to others advice, and have a clearer understanding of my own
present day actions and their impacts.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter,
as we continue to work on our mediation together.
-Due to the length please before the next meeting or
or make time for review during the meeting (June 12th).

After changes made on Tuesday the wifi has been super flaky. DNS lookups
start failing after a certain period, disconnecting/reconnecting wont fix
but switching APs might. But it will happen again on that one. So far I've
seen similar symtons on sudomesh, peoples and Omni Commons
*Hello All, *
Today (Saturday) thanks to Marc, Rob, and yours truly the server "cage"
area got some Love. : )
It still needs more love, but with a vacuum and a brush to get the dust out
under the four post rack, and production gear itself.
And not to mention all the wiring that will need to be redone (but this for
part the future).
*AN IDEA IN PROGRESS: *
Migrate all gear and patch panels into the four post rack, so we gain more
space by removing the two posts rack.
*MOVING THINGS IN AND OUT:*
* The three old red servers that were not in used were removed.
* The server that Marc had configure (I forgot what is what the told me he
had configured) got install in the four post rack.
* The 2 HP switches got moved to the 2 post rack to the 4post rack.
* There is old stuff and things we are not going to use. I feel we should
check with Marcus and see if we can add these items to the "pay what you
can" sale event. Rob suggested to have a list and announce the items for
that sale, and also suggested that we put some of that stuff in eBay.
*NEW (USED) GEAR THINGS RUNNING:*
* The 24 and 38 HP switches are running along w the Ruckus wireless
controller, and one of Ruckus Access Points.
* This AP was temporarily set on top of one of the servers and pointing to
the Sudoroom tables, pushing the "Omni Commons" SSID. :)
*COMING TO OMNI EARLY IN THE MORNING:*
I am considering to come to omni about 6:30am (after taking my better half
to work).
*PLAN FOR SUNDAY EARLY MORNING PLAN:*
Since I am going to the there early, and Marc already gave me the Gateway
Server interfaces (LANs) overview, I feel that it would be a good time to
swap their cables to connect to the HP switches, and these to feed the Dell
Switches instead. By doing this I don't perceive anything going south.
*WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?:*
Marc and I talked about it, and we agreed that doing this will allow us to
have a nicer and controlled migration, so we don't have to do that all at
once. This is trivial, now that I know what LANs is each interface at the
Linux server level.
*BTW:*
We started about 11AM something, and ended about 7:40PM. It was a whole day
thing.
Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions. I will check
email before starting anything tomorrow.

Hi!
They are selling the whole store. They have all sorts of equipment and
electric parts very cheap. 70% or 80% discounts. Random parts. They even
sell shelves themselves. Probably worth checking out.

Hello all,
I've recently signed up and have been following the discussion for SUDO room. I'm planning out my first VR gaming computer and would love to pick some brains and talk components and build process. I'm looking to learn how to create in Tilt Brush and develop Quantum Science visual educational environments.
Will there be anyone there tonight who might be interested in this topic?
Thanks

Anyone available to lend me a hand picking up a fridge this afternoon? Let
me know asap at (925) 989 3869.
Pickup is in South SF, so we will likely be gone for an hour and a half or
so. Just need someone to help lift it on the truck.
If anyone has a truck available, that would be a huge help as well.
Otherwise, I plan to rent a UHaul...
Thanks!
Patrik

space and other people and help them with whatever they're hacking on.
thank you,
-jake
