Hey everybody, Sudo Mesh, Sudo Room, Omni Commons, et al. now has its own etherpad-lite <https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite> instance running on the mesh and also accessible via "the Internet." Help test it out by going to https://peoplesopen.net/pad and creating your very own collaborative SudoPad. We are currently working on documenting the service on our wiki, https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/SudoPad, and it is still very much in the testing phase, so use it with caution. cheers, -grant

seeking free lenovo laptop

by Jake

does anyone have a lenovo laptop that has a place for a 3G WAN modem, that they want to give me to play with? If it's an X120e with a broken screen, that works because i just happen to have just the screen for such a computer. replying off-list will avoid clogging people's inboxes who don't care. thank you -jake

Am at HHN, and robb just "fixed" that big TV by successfully and completely connecting the HDMI cable that was apparently "removed" by someone else. So the Hitachi really _wasn't_ dead after all.

Help organize a Net Neutrality Protest Dec. 7th!

by Ed Biow

On Dec. 14th the FCC [1] (Federal Communication Commission) is preparing to dismantle net neutrality [2] which prevents the huge internet service providers' oligopoly from unfairly discriminating against websites it doesn't like and would help lead to the privatization & commercialization of the internet. But the grassroots is fighting back! Folks are organizing protests at Verizon stores locations around the country. Verizon [3], in particular, will make bigly profits from the destruction of net neutrality. In the Oakland-Berkeley area there are 3 Verizon locations, and as of yet, apparently no one is organizing [4] any actions there. We are going to be the laughing stock of the national movement. If you can be a contract for one of these Verizon protests, just go to verizonprotests.com [5] and enter your contact info [6] for the location that you pick! (The details are at the web site). The protests are taking place on (or before) December 7th, so please help out with this just as soon as you can! Me, I'm useless, the 7th is my first wife's birthday (she was born on the 25th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day) and she wants me to take her to Calistoga to view the smoking ruins. And the way I look, I better stick with the partner I have. Thanks for all you do, Ed & the rump of Occupy Oakland Local Verizon stores: A Verizon Emeryville 3990 Hollis St · (510) 547-3210 B Verizon Oakland 3264 Lakeshore Ave · (510) 267-0731 C Verizon Berkeley 2209 Shattuck Ave · (510) 845-4282 Links: ------ [1] https://www.battleforthenet.com/#widget-learn-more [2] https://www.savetheinternet.com/net-neutrality-what-you-need-know-now [3] https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/12/15959932/comcast-verizon-att-net-neutral… [4] https://events.battleforthenet.com/#eventType=protestrally [5] http://verizonprotests.com/ [6] http://act.demandprogress.org/event/team-internet/create/

sudoroom BigTV television dead?

by Jake

it seems that the big TV that's screwed to the balcony has stopped working. It's plugged into live AC but the power doesn't come on even when i press the power button. i'm guessing that this is because it's dead. i've tried to fix TVs like this before and it's just too many screws, in addition to hunting down a new transistor or whatever... so it's unlikely to happen. anyway if anyone feels like doing anything about it, go ahead and double-check that the AC power is really getting to it (although i'm pretty sure i checked) and then probably you'll have to take it down from the wall. Then you can see if it blew a fuse, and then see what happens if you put another fuse in (it will blow it again) and then see if you can figure out what's wrong - maybe it's just a bad capacitor! but it's probably a lot more. and then it can go in the e-waste pile and Cere can disassemble it further to see what's inside. and then we can take one of those TVs from under the stairs and put it up instead. -jake
