Grocery Outlet to Open on Telegraph?

by Peter Mui

According to article below Grocery Outlet applied for a liquor license at the former Walgreen’s location. “...Temescal is experiencing a bit of a boom: Recent openings include pickleball social club Pickle Athletics and coffee shop Alleyway Cafe, while buzzy spots like “martini dive bar” Tallboy and natural wine bar Snail Bar continue to thrive. Still, the area is not immune to the challenges faced by the rest of Oakland: Beloved brewery Roses’ Taproom shuttered in November after eight years, citing a decline in business. Temescal Brewing, a brewery of nearly 10 years, filed for bankruptcy in October but remains open…” https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/oakland-walgreens-grocery-outlet-213073…

learning about FPGAs

by Larry Doolittle

sudo friends - In my recent visits to sudoroom, I've talked about and demonstrated FPGAs (among other things). I personally consider FPGAs to be an enabling technology, like microcontrollers but with some key advantages. They also have a reputation of being hard to learn. There seems to be at least some interest in turning these chaotic discussions into activities thoughtfully set up for teaching/learning. Maybe the word "class" won't apply. I'll keep this first message short, although I certainly have ideas, at least about how to get started. I'm a huge believer in learning by doing. I plan to be at sudoroom tonight (Dec 30), and we can have in-person discussions. Maybe this thread can capture ideas in a less ephemeral form. - Larry

we're $750 short of rent and have 9 days

by Judy Tuan

Hi everyone! We have 9 days left before the next time we have to pay rent, and we're short $750. We estimate that in the next 9 days, roughly $300 will come in through the regular monthly donations that members have set up, which means we're still short $450. Noisebridge and Double Union have both recently run Gofundme campaigns; we could do this too but it would take a concerted marketing effort. Is anyone interested in looking into this with me? Please email me on or off list! nb https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-noisebridges-lifechanging-work du https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-double-unions-impactful-mission

Regen braking hub motor for e-bikes

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: Some of you might be interested in this new e-bike hub motor with regen capability. …”Instead of mounting the disc rotor to the motor’s shell, which has been the go-to method for decades, they mounted the disc rotor to the carrier plate that holds the planet gears in the motor’s internal gearbox. It requires a slightly different shell for the motor – one that lets a mount connect the disc rotor to the gears’ carrier plate. …the disc rotor now doubles as the user-operable clutch that has always been missing. That means the motor can switch into generator mode, essentially becoming a brake as it loads the motor and converts rotational energy back into electrical energy to charge the battery. The controller and motor continuously communicate with each other, increasing or decreasing braking power according to how hard the user pulls the brake lever.” https://electrek.co/2025/12/23/weve-been-lied-to-electric-bike-motors-can-d… Seasons Greetings, -Peter
