This takedown request seems legit, and the link to our wordpress checks out to
such an image. So we have to take the image down.
It seems to have gone up in July. Here's the link
https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/image.jpeg
maybe we can use a different picture of Octavia Butler instead.
does anyone know how to take this image down from our site?

I just found my old Misfit Shine, an activity tracker from around 10 years
ago. All its apps appear to be down. Does anybody know how to decode
bluetooth signals, maybe we can get step data off of the thing and start
using it again?
Does anyone know of a wiki or something of defunct fitness gadgets and
their open-source life support? lf such projects exist in the world? Maybe
there are things for really popular old fitness trackers but I don't think
the Misfit Shine ever got much traction lol.
I used to wear my Shine in a beautiful sacred-geometry-looking necklace
peripheral and I'd check it kinda like a pocketwatch. It doesn't have a
display, but it could tell you the time and your % progress to your daily
step goal via tiny little LED dots around the edge. It is a svelte little
thing. Swarovski even did a collab to make a crystal version plus sparkly
bracelets for it. I was the target market for such a gadget and probably
the only one. lol
Hi all,
Jake and I have been in talks for a while, and despite Berkeley room
bookings being in the air still, could we confirm a time (or multiple) to
bus over Stupid Hackathon attendees? Tentative site is:
stupidhacks.csua.berkeley.edu and tentative date is November 17 (one-day
for now, probably a sequel second semester that will be longer)
Best Regards,

Hi everyone,
Please read over the attached lease we signed with the new building owners,
CALLI.
CALLI recently asked us to list who our "Designated Individuals" will be.
It looks like they are asking for up to 6 people, 3 with "extended access"
from 9pm-12pm and 3 with 24 hr access.
Until we choose "designated individuals" and work out the side door access
with CALLI, *we are limited to using the building only during open hours
from 7am-9pm (7 days a week). *
It makes sense to me to have these spots open to those who host events and
those who can be on call in case of emergency.
One other change is that we should no longer be going into spaces outside
of Sudo Room, bathroom, or passageways unless there is a public event or we
get an ok from CALLI first. The sewing lab downstairs is also closed at the
moment, since CC does not yet have a lease for the space.
Happy to share more if needed!

Can anyone make use of this? I have one in box I would like to donate. But
I know you already have a lot of stuff.
Anyways I'll bring it by tonight.

Hello everyone,
The Chaos Communications Congress (CCC) is happening again this year between December 27th and 30th in Hamburg. Does Sudo Room want to apply to get early bird tickets? If so, we need to request them ASAP by emailing 38C3-tickets(a)cccv.de
Context
The CCC have implemented a system by which "chaos community members" (e.g. hackerspace organizers, etc) can apply for vouchers. These vouchers allow community members to purchase tickets before the main sale dates. If used, the vouchers regenerate every 24 hours; this allows regional hackerspaces to buy tickets early-bird tickets to the main sale, with some rate limiting applied. Note that tickets are likely to sell out very fast during the main sale dates in November.
As far as I'm aware, Sudo Room was not awarded such a voucher by the CCC admins. However, we should be able to apply for one, as per their documentation:
> If you are part of a group (local CCC group, hackerspace from all over the world, etc.) that has not received any vouchers yet and you think you should get a voucher, please email us as soon as possible at 38C3-tickets [at] cccv [dot] de. It does not hurt to ask, and if we forgot you or agree that you should receive vouchers, we can only help you if we know it early on.
Note the suggestion to contact CCC early. They announced this voucher system on 2024-10-17. The voucher pre-sale period started yesterday (2024-10-22) so we should contact them soon if people want a good chance of getting tickets!
I hope everyone is doing well otherwise! See you at CCC this year, maybe!
Spicy
