[OMNI-ACCESS] Please stop disconnecting the front door computer!

by Jenny Ryan

Heya omninoms, I'm really sorry to make this yet another semi-distressed plea to all in the commons, but it's the kind of issue that warrants widespread dissemination: There is an extension cord above the wooden chest next to the cafe counter along Shattuck in the entrance hall close to the main entrance. This cord runs the door server, which is critical to 100+ members' access to the building. It has been messed with twice this week, both times resulting in rather disruptive access issues for many. On Monday, the orange extension cord running there was suddenly and mysteriously replaced by a white extension cord (and disconnected from said cord). Today, that extension cord was replaced by some shitty power strip with no extension cord enabling the strip to even stay in the outlet (so it fell out and all non-physical key access was unavailable). This extension cord also runs the wireless access point providing internets to the front of the building. It is not swap-out-able. For those in the building when this issue arises, the correct measures are: * Check that the ethernet and power are connected. * After all is plugged back in, test your card to see if the door computer is up * If your card doesn't work after several swipes (namely noticeable by the lack of a 'happy' or 'error' sound and lack of a red or green light), then you need to power cycle the door computer. * The door computer is a BeagleBone Black that lives in the metal box enclosure to the upper right of the door. There's a PeoplesOpen.net sticker on it, I believe. Most people will need to stand on a chair to get it open. * When you look in the cabinet and observe that the beaglebone black (basically a ~3x5" circuitboard to the far left of the cabinet) has no blinky lights, the solution is to unplug both USB plugs from the white cylinder by the 12v battery, and then plug them back in. ** There is a sweet diagram visualizing this that Lesley drew and which we taped to the inside of the enclosure last night. Of note - clearly, the door computer should be connected to power securely through conduit, and connected to a much better wireless access point than the crappy DLink router that is the current ethernet connection. The Sudo Mesh crew is working on this sometime over the next two weeks. PM me if you have some skills in this area and would be down to help! <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

#5MoF Live Stream

by aaronco36

> oops new url is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUUWLUMf55s Thanks for streaming tonight's 5MoF! :-) In listening to it so far, those deep-voiced aliens depart from Planet SudoRoom for good starting at 2:43 and the volume-level gets a distinct boost at about 15:47 into the playback. Haven't yet listened to the rest of this, but am sure it'll be great. -A aaronco36(a)sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org

Javascript night field trip!

by Lesley Bell

Hello all, So, it has come to my attention that this round of SFNode is going to be in the East Bay for the first time--and looks like it is going to be rather interesting <https://www.meetup.com/sfnode/events/231483341/>. Numeric computing with JS! And another talk on stop motion animation in electron by some guy named Morgan Allen... It's at 6:30 PM at 5980 Horton Street, Emeryville, CA, this coming Thursday. I'm planning to be there, so the regularly scheduled JS night at sudo will resume next week. L

tables with outlets on them

by Jake

i think this might help with the extention cord situation, since we can install outlets in the table legs and power the table from a drop-cord from the ceiling (yes that is allowed, can you believe it) On Wed, 3 May 2017, robb wrote: > looks like 6 could replace our current table setup (4 in middle & 2 on ends) > > On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 3:28 PM, Alexander Papazoglou <papazoga(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > >> They look like these >> <https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-1138-WOOD/Packing-Tables/Packing-Tab…> >> to me, but missing the bottom shelf, which would provide extra rigidity. >> The ones in my link do have electrical receptacles and adjustable height. >> >> Alex >> >> >> 2017-05-02 15:18 GMT-07:00 <hol(a)gaskill.com>: >> >>> is it just my eyes or are those holes for electrical receptacles in the >>> legs?? >>> >>> On 2017-04-28 12:00, Patrik D'haeseleer wrote: >>> >>> We do need one sturdy table to mount the sheet metal bender on - or did >>> someone already find a home for that one? >>> >>> Patrik >>> >>> On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 11:43 AM, Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> Are we interested in these?

5MoF taking a hiatus?

by Marc Juul

I'm not able to promote and help host the 5MoF this coming week nor the next one in June due to work/travel. Unless someone else pops out of the woodwork, 5MoF is taking a hiatus. What needs to be done: * Promote the event in advance to ensure people show up * Get people to sign up to present interesting things * Show up at least two to three hours before the event and help set up the audio/video/lighting Robb has helped with the physical setup and teardown for the past two events, especially audio and lighting, so perhaps he'd still be up for helping? I'm happy to explain everything involved in setting up and live-streaming. If no-one takes this on then 5MoF will take a two month hiatus. -- marc/juul
