Hey privacy folks -
I recently got an Amazon Dash (Echo) and I'm messing around with Alexa.
While there are a lot of great things about it, and I'm having fun as a
developer creating, I'm interested to see what your perspective is for
mainstream people.
I saw this article on wired:
https://www.wired.com/2016/12/alexa-and-google-record-your-voice
You can tease me if you want: I use Siri and I'm interested in Alexa, and
I'm sure many of you would never want to use these things.
But I'm …
[View More]interested in the advantages and disadvantages of stuff like Alexa
and Google Home. I'd love to hold a little workshop on it sometime, maybe
after a meeting in January.
Any opinions?

Hey matt,
I have a guest in town from Greece. We are doing the usual bike rental
thing from a cool bike shop.
But are there alternatives to for-profit bike rental in Oakland? Does your
collective rent bikes?
Can people rent bikes on a platform for something that's not part of a big
corporation or a start-up?
Best,
Romy

Has anyone played with Mikrotik Powerbox? https://routerboard.com/RB750P-PBr2
We just installed two, and they are AWESOME! We use them only as POE
switches, but it would be awesome to get OpenWrt working on them...
I'll look into that over the next few weeks...
Cheers,

Hey I stopped by sudoroom! and the hardware guys were hacking on a tesla.
We have people working at a bike collective too. we are all passionate
about trains, I think some sudoroom members have travelled cross country on
train as well. And we all know that we love BART and it needs all the help
it gets as it reaches epic overcrowding.
I'm going to start a SudoRoom transportation hack group! We can cross
fertilize at Noisebridge...
…
[View More]So there it is!

I started the Wiki. I'll have more time over break to help out.
Some thoughts:
- I do not want to this to only be about ride share, although that's
important. It'd be cool to have a communal, non-profit alternative to the
current car sharing options out there.
- Trains!!!!!
- Cars - although I don't know that much about cars, I have worked for
a car company and have owned a car for the past ten years. I still don't
know that much about cars! There is no such thing as a car mechanic
collective the way there is a bike mechanic collective. Bike collectives
often have a "get to know you bike night" and nothing of that kind exists
for cars. The only time I've interacted with cars is at car dealerships and
at work and at a mechanic. Until recently I've received little or no
detailed data about my car, and its health until a start-up had one of its
indie mechanics fill out a "Car report card" for me. I'd love to have
something similar for us!
Rock on hope you are all enjoying your break!

this video shows a pretty straightforward way to catch lots of mice alive
without having to reset a trap all the time.
it's for mice, so since we have rats we would need to do it differently, with a
much larger container. but the concept is pretty straightforward.

I was recently visiting sudo at omni and I took a short trip into a
different part of California and now require assistance of someone to keep
a watchful eye on something for me. I can be reached at 612-801-4634 to
discuss further details. Thank-you
Hi,
I have a student from Greece staying here in Oakland until January 10. He's
studying oceanology with an interest in data science around environmental
sciences and green energy topics.
Is anyone working on these kinds of projects at SudoRoom or counter culture
labs? I think it's interesting. If we don't have topics around this subject
we should probably plan some kind of collaboration!
I remember Counter Culture labs had ever flux speak... is there a work
group or anyone focused on these …
[View More]general topics?
Best,
Romy

Sorry - false alarm.
I bid up to $200, but I still didn't exceed the reserve price for this
item. So I think we'll let this one go, and hope to get a free one through
Bio-Link Depot some time in the next year...

who can go pick it up in San Leandro later this week or next, since I will

*Please let me know as soon as possible if you can help out!*
I've been looking for a glass door fridge for a while now, but they don't
come up that often, or are priced too expensive. This one is currently
listed at $50, with only two bids and a little over two hours left on the
auction:
