4799 Shattuck Building Updates_March 2025

by Valerie Jameson

Hello 4799 Shattuck Building Enthusiasts, It's a beautiful sunny afternoon and I hope you all have had a chance to feel the sun's warmth today or have made plans to do so this weekend. Below is our early March addition to the Building newsletter. Please read through it to the end as there are some important items I don't want you to miss. I also highlighted key dates for you to keep on your radar. *Recap & Reminders* - *Trash Maintenance: *Please remember to utilize the proper bins for general trash, recycling, and compost waste. The trash room has additional bins that can be used for your events or meetings. I encourage everyone to put a liner on every bin (regardless if whether it's recycling or compost) to reduce the chances of food particles or liquid sticking to the bottom of the trash cans when they are transferred to the bigger receptacles to go out. - *Foyer storage: I have given at least one person in the six lessee groups the passcode to the Black filing cabinet. I encourage everyone to continue to organize that space and make it functional as a shared storage which may include both decluttering and adding items. I will be revisiting the space in the coming weeks to evaluate its maneuverability and hazard levels. * - *Leaks: *The three roof leaks that were reported on 2/13/25 (two in the Entry hall and one in CLL) were addressed by Sierra Roofing that made two back to back visits to the building to properly seal a loose seam, and caulk around a vent. Thank goodness for that warranty! Additionally, during the atmospheric river in late February, CALLI identified leaks in the basement that are a direct result from the deteriorated siding on the Southside wall. We are currently reviewing the bids for that project and hope to initiate work in the Spring. - *Office Location*: If someone needs to speak with me regarding a time sensitive matter I am usually available to address immediate concerns Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons after 2 pm. Feel free to walk into the ballroom and knock on the door behind the bar. That is usually the best location to start if you are looking for me. *Updates, What's New, & Next Steps* - *Building Rules: *The long awaited Version 1 4799 Shattuck Ave. Building Rules is [HERE!!! <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p7yyRqEKfvKxrhcFOBhWbQDMaVKRD1GVYmcAjVY…>] We highly encourage as many representatives in your groups to review it and complete our FEEDBACK FORM <https://forms.gle/hEJhREnduWD4im8L8>. I am able to provide physical copies of the document upon request and I have set up office hours [SIGN UP HERE <https://calendly.com/valerie-thecalli/30min>.] in case that is an easier way for you to comment and engage with the document. I want to emphasize that this is our first draft (hence version 1) of the building rules which is likely to change and improve over time. Your participation in the feedback process can strengthen this document and help us become more accountable to one another and the space. While I will always welcome your suggestions, the priority deadline for submitting feedback is Monday, March 24th. The V1 Building Rules will begin to be enforced in the next lease period effective March 25th, 2025. - *Facility Repairs & Improvements*: Don Luis has been out for two weeks and will return next week! We will also have a plumber on site next Tuesday to examine the water pressure issue in the back restroom as well as address other building projects. - *WATER SHUT OFF NOTICE*: Tuesday, March 11th from 12:3-2:30 the building may experience water interruptions while we test the water pressure and troubleshoot various plumbing issues. Please plan accordingly and let me know ASAP if this is a concern. - *Gathering & Brainstorm Session: *As winter winds down and CALLI gets more settled into the building, we can finally set our sights on what we want to manifest in the future. We would like to host an informal gatherings where we can have conversations, brainstorm, and vision together. The tentative date based on CALLI team members availability is Tuesday, March 25th, 2025. Please use this When2Met link [HERE <https://www.when2meet.com/?29443452-IJ9r5>] by Friday, March 14th to indicate your availability on that day so we can confirm the time and begin outreaching. - *Entryhall floor cleaning*: On Thursday, March 13th Wynd and I will be relocating the Free Store back to the other side of the Entryhall so that Don Luis can finish the floor cleaning and polishing process. This will likely take place on March 18 between 10-2 pm. If you see walkways blocked off and signage posted please honor the request and go around. I would encourage everyone to plan ahead by scheduling entrance/exit and packages to the side door and avoiding the ADA restroom until after the timeframe allotted. That concludes my reminders and updates for now. As always please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Take care, -- *Valerie Jameson* (she/ella) Property Manager - 4799 Shattuck Avenue *Collective Action & Land Liberation Institute (CALLI) * CALLI Website <https://www.thecalli.org/> East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/ebprec> | X <https://www.x.com/ebprec> | Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/eb.prec> | YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/ebprec> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/ebprec>

Master 175 Combination lock decoding help

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: I have three Master 175-style resettable combination padlocks that I’d like to reuse but I don’t know the combinations so I’d like to decode at least one of them so that I can reset the combination. Apparently Master 175-style resettable combination padlocks are relatively easy to decode, and I tried the technique in this video (using a thin sliver of aluminum) but I don’t have enough experience to have the right touch. Or maybe if I had the right tools it would work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzozWmdrPt0 (I also found this video of a dismantled Master 175 helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmLrw4QjXzg Any locksports out there willing to give this a try? Or aspiring locksports? I’ll bring them tonight to Sudoroom. Or contact me off-list. Many thanks in advance, -Peter

Ham radio transciever build event went great!

by Jake Watters

Yesterday a bunch of people got together to build up their kits of 5 watt digital radio transceivers! These are HF ham radio transmitter/recievers that connect to a computer over USB, and allow communication on digital modes on what we call low frequencies these days (but they're also called Shortwave even though they're now the longest waves we use). Technically one is supposed to have a ham radio license to transmit on these frequencies, although anyone is allowed to listen in. This is the kit they were building: https://qrp-labs.com/qdx.html We used the video microscope and all six soldering stations! It was the most soldering happening at the same time in sudoroom in a long time. The event will happen again on Wednesday. [image: image.png]

Concerns about new makerspace in San Francisco (General Lithium) connected to the MAGA/pro-Trump movement and the Military Industrial Complex

by Ashley T

Hello Makerspaces, Hackerspaces, and Everything in Between, I am contacting some makerspaces and hackerspaces in the SF Bay Area about a new makerspace that is connected to the pro-Trump/MAGA movement and to the Military Industrial Complex (more advanced military drones to murder people on behalf of Emperor Trump & USA empire): https://sfstandard.com/2025/01/20/san-francisco-maga-techies/ Their co-founder Justin Laser Bong Zelaya and his connections to the Military Industrial Complex (scroll down for work on CIA-funded National Security Hackathon): https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-zelaya-2236b5292 Both co-founders *Justin Laser Bong Zelaya* and *Tony Loehr *(goes by "forkbomb" in some spaces) are currently or were previously connected with Noisebridge hackerspace. Their website pointing out their connections to a CIA and DoD connected National Security Hackathon: https://general-lithium.com/general-lithium-battery-powers-victory-at-natio… I will find more info/evidence of this group and the individuals connected to them (Justin Laser Bong Zelaya and Tony Loehr/@forkbomb ) *All of this is about hackers & makers & techies who are working with white supremacist, patriarchal, colonialist powers and utilizing hackerspace + makerspace resources for these imperatives.* Ash

Sudo lighting

by Kent Leech

Hey folks, We¹ve got some dead/dying 8' fluorescent tubes hanging above in Sudo. Fixtures are for single nipple at each end. I¹d prefer warmer a color temp, under 4000k. Rather than cobbling together something, we should get the correct replacement bulbs. I found these- https://www.amazon.com/8FT-Bulbs-3000K-6500K-Fluorescent-Replacement/dp/B0C SYMPJHZ?ie=UTF8 I¹m pretty sure the CRI wouldn¹t be that great (the ad doesn¹t mention it). A local industrial lighting store in Concord (CME Lighting) has the Satco #S29917- 3500K 8¹ long led bulbs, 40W 5300 lumens, 82 CRI. $29.95 each. https://www.satco.com/products/S29917 The Satco¹s should fit the bill nicely and very likely be more issue free than the ones from Amazon. Decent CRI, local supplier, etc. We should try two over the incoming area then see if we like them. Any budget in the pot for these? -Kent ----- Kent Leech Illustration http://www.kentleech.com kent(a)kentleech.com +1 (510) 504-0634 -- >_______________________________________________ >sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org >To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org >More options at >https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
