E-waste in trash room

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, I'm not sure who left all the electronics trash in the trash room, but in matter such as these, my eye turns towards Sudo... Please know that E-Waste does NOT GO IN THE REGULAR TRASH! In fact, it is ILLEGAL to dump electronics with regular trash in California, and we can be fined for doing so. E-Waste is terrible for the environment, and needs to be recycled separately. So don't just toss a bunch of junk in the trash room and expect someone else to deal with it! I would strongly recommend that Sudo sets up an e-Waste recycling container somewhere (maybe with a smaller container on the side for batteries) and then organizes a dropoff whenever it starts filling up. (Also a good place to scavenge for interesting parts for reuse, naturally!) The oakland wiki lists a number of places that will recycle or reuse electronics waste, including cell phones, appliances, and batteries of all sorts: https://localwiki.org/oakland/E-Waste_Recycling Patrik

by Jake

SDR's are super cool, $12 usb sticks (including shipping and antenna) that can receive almost any frequency and let your computer demodulate what's there based on free software. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2015 13:43:41 -0800 From: Balint Seeber <balint256(a)gmail.com> To: noisebridge-announce(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [Noisebridge-announce] Cyberspectrum: Software Defined Radio Meetup (Wed 25th Feb) 7:00pm Hi all, Announcing the second Cyberspectrum meetup in San Francisco! We'll try to get started at around 7:00pm in the Hackatorium, and for those unable to attend we'll set up a live stream like last time (stay tuned to the event's page/Twitter for more info closer to the time). There's also IRC: #cyberspectrum on Freenode.

At each meetup, attendees will have the opportunity to present their work/ideas to the group. Engineers, enthusiasts, hobbyists and people of all experience levels are welcome, no matter what your software/hardware background. Everyone is welcome to submit their ideas/presentations to the pool." Hope to see you there, Balint @spenchdotnet

Fwd: [DIYbio] biononymous.me launch

by Marc Juul

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Heather Dewey-Hagborg <stigmergy(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Feb 22, 2015 at 7:27 PM Subject: [DIYbio] biononymous.me launch To: diybio(a)googlegroups.com Just a quick note about a new project I am launching, perhaps some of you might be interested in getting involved? (And some of you may be already). It's a new community hub for research and discussion of biological surveillance, which I am tentatively defining as "the means by which biological science is used to track, monitor, analyze, and turn bodies into data.” DNA, biometrics, microbes, all the ways physical bodies become subjects of surveillance. http://biononymous.me/ Check it out, let me know what you think and if you would like to participate! -Heather -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups DIYbio group.

Climbing or sailing rope?

by Marc Juul

Today's mesh node mount is on a slanted roof. We're able to borrow a safety harness, but we're in need of rope strong enough to stop a falling human. Do you have any and can we borrow it today (noon to 4 pm) ? -- marc/juul

Linux Fest North West - Hackers on a Train

by Patrick O'Doherty

Hey all, A few of us are attending Linux Fest North West this year in Bellingham, WA and are taking the opportunity to bolt a mini-event onto it called Hackers on a Train. The idea is simple: ride the Coast Starlight[0] with us and hack a thing as we head north on the scenic Pacific coast on the way to the conference. We'll be leaving from Jack London Square on the Wednesday night, arriving into Seattle on Thursday night. Sound interesting to you? Come along! Details developing on the Noisebridge wiki[1] p [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_Starlight [1] - https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Linux_Fest_North_West

orange&silver bike in CCL?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, There's a bike parked in CCL that seems to have been there for several days. It's an orange&silver Shimano, and it's locked to a beer keg, near the division with Sudo. If this is yours, please remove your bike. CCL is not a bike parking lot. Otherwise, it will be sold for rent money ;-) Patrik

Fwd: [safe-hackerspaces] Jeanine Otter asked to leave Noisebridge

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Shouldn't have posted this to the safe-hackerspaces(a)lists.riseup.net list, so instead I am forwarding this note to sudo-discuss and noisebridge-discuss: cheers, Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 6:14 PM Subject: Re: [safe-hackerspaces] Jeanine Otter asked to leave Noisebridge To: Liz Henry <lizhenry(a)gmail.com> Cc: Patrick O'Doherty <p(a)trickod.com>, safe-hackerspaces(a)lists.riseup.net Liz, Thanks for sharing, happy to hear where you're coming from. All, If I were a member of Noisebridge, I would ask myself about the ways that, as hackers, the NB community subverts the dominant culture, especially in the local neighborhood. The dominant culture in the bay area includes high-paid tech workers moving in from out of town (as well as VPs / managers / lawyers / etc flipping buildings and creating private services that subvert publicly-accessible ones). This exacerbates the ongoing displacement and dispossession of poor and working class people. If that's the case, then I would be interested in taking actions that demonstrate the NB community is not merely Techie Scum, and that it can rise above such rhetoric to strike at the root of the matter. Any opportunities to reach out to anti-eviction groups in SF? Just my 2 cents... // Matt p.s. Note I dropped "gentrification" for "displacement and dispossession" which is what I believe is really happening... p.p.s. I think everyone has the "Die Techie Scum" motto all wrong--it's a positive German exclamation for "The Techie Scum!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npty9_ik-E8 On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 5:06 PM, Liz Henry <lizhenry(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I also hated it when we had "anti-science" people hanging out (years ago > from the Public School") As they would rail against tech in general. > Then why are you at a hackerspace?
