seeking a low-power computer with 2 or more ethernet ports

by Jake

i'm looking for a small low-power computer with at least two ethernet ports. gigabit would be preferred although i wouldn't turn down an older one since I have nothing at this point. I want to make a router for my house, to go between the comcast bullshit and my internal network. just a raw motherboard would be fine but with a case is fine too. i should mention that i want something that doesn't take unnecessary power, and ideally i'll be powering it from 12vdc using a little converter like this: https://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/ProductImage/ACJ4_1_201706217303591… thank you -jake

I want to make a router for my house, to go between the comcast bullshit and my internal network. How about using a fairly low-cost and low-power assemblage of a Raspberry Pi 3 [2] along with one or two extra USB Gigabit Ethernet dongles attached, and using an RPi3 distro for a sort of DIY "Poorman's"/"Poorperson's"-type router ?? According to David Both's 'Firewall your home network with a Raspberry Pi' [3], he's successfully used an ASIX AX88178 USB Gigabit Ethernet dongle as a second Ethernet port. According to to the Alpine Linux's 'Linux Router with VPN on a Raspberry Pi' [4], the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter [5] is recommended as it contains a ASIX AX88772 which "has good Linux support". There is further discussion on the Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange about setting up and using such an RPi as a router/firewall, e.g., see [6] and [7] The wifi KRACK attack vulnerability that's infesting WPA-protected networks -- e.g., see Marc J's recent Mesh post [8] -- might even make it _imperative_ (yes?|no?) to disable the RPi 3's WiFi connectivity for such a dual-homed+ router. > just a raw motherboard would be fine but with a case is fine too. It's fairly easy to obtain or make a case for an RPi3. It's also definitely recommended to use a powered USB hub for powering the Rpi3 itself as well as the one or two Gigabit Ethernet dongles on this router. Hope that this helps :-) -A References ====================== [1]https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2017-October/013635.html [2]https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/ [3]https://opensource.com/life/16/3/firewall-your-home-network-raspberry-pi [4]https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Linux_Router_with_VPN_on_a_Raspberry_Pi [5]https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC704LL/A/apple-usb-ethernet-adapter [6]https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/7223/using-the-raspberry-… [7]https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/13860/how-would-raspberry… [8]https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/mesh/2017-October/002636.html ====================== aaronco36(a)sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org

someone left in a huff

by Jake

tonight at Hardware Hacking Tuesday, a friend of mine showed up and set his bag down on the floor before greeting others who were here. His bag touched some of the property of someone who had quite a lot of stuff, and that person berated my friend for touching his property without permission and made what I thought was quite a big deal out of it. my friend was very apologetic (I would not have been) but this did little to calm the person down, who seemed deeply offended and continued to try to make my friend feel bad for touching another person's property without permission. i stepped in and told the person that I thought they had quite a lot of stuff, which was spilling into walkways and very uncontained, and I asked them to please move some of it out of the way. They responded that they were just going to leave because I had made them feel "unwelcome". They then packed up their stuff and left. the item in question, that was "touched" by my friends' bag, was a sleeping bag. -jake

Crow Funding for Students (Q'eqchi', Kiche, and Mam) in Guatemala

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello Sudoroom folks, I hope you don't mind me sending this email to the list, but I hope some of you could help these students. Please, when you get a chance, see the details+images on this page I put together. https://www.youcaring.com/help-escuela-chajsaquil-recover-from-flood The short version is that, on October 5th, a tropical storm flooded the Escuela Mixta Official Barrio Chajsaquil and their already old furniture got ruined even more. How I learned about this is because I joined their Facebook group after meeting its principal and knowing the building itself when I was traveling in Guatemala in Dec. 2016. This time I was wondering if you know of someone/organization/company that could help the school economically to bring these students new desks, and other needed school furniture. The list its in the fundraising page linked above. If so, please share the link and this email if you want. In regards of donors wanting a tax exempt form, I am in the process of getting approved by OmniCommons. So they can be the financial sponsor; so Omni be the one sending the money to the school. We are open to the person/organization/company also being the direct donors to the school itself. The school location: Escuela Official Barrio Chajsaquil San Pedro Carcha, Alta Verapaz Guatemala Thank you, and thank you for all you do to make this world a better place. Sincerely, Daniel Arauz Cell: 415.336.9143 <(415)%20336-9143> Signal: 415.336.9143 <https://whispersystems.org/>

Anyone need an old 20, 000 RPM centrifuge? (needs service)

by Marc Juul

I put it on Craigslist here: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tls/d/sorvall-superspeed-ss-3/6336958262.h… but if anyone in the community has a use for it I'll let it go for $20 (what it cost me) or if BioCurious has a need for it you can have it for free. -- marc/juul

PO Box

by Kyle Mitchell

USPS sent me the renewal notice for our PO box at the Shattuck post office, across the street. Can we safely let the box --- and the $200 bill --- go? Or might Omni have some use for it? I have a key. I believe Matt still has the other.

Sudo Finance Report (check yr payments!!)

by Jenny Ryan

Sudo's current balance is now* $3,567.91, *which includes the $4000+ of Bitcoins we cashed out last month. Income over the past 30 days was *$1,367.59* - which includes a one-time $150 gift to cover the costs of the U-Haul trip to pick up the new cabinets. This means we are effectively *losing around $80**0/month, and will be back to broke by February*. Please check that your payments via sudoroom.org/humans are processing! It may be prudent to begin planning an early 2018 crowdfunding campaign, but in the interim, please set up payments / check on your payments asap. Cash payments can be given directly to either myself or Charley. <3 jnny
