Free world renaissance. I am telling all my friends about this potential. In what I describe as the largest thing since Occupy Wall Street, is itself a massive call to action/participate. We can design the systems without money, will change how we produce things, party, program, code, interface, interact, design free and abundant factories of the future, etc. Has to do along the lines of we motivate individuals differently if we realize what we are. Realizing this we can achieve a moneyless society. And the tweet that started it off: https://twitter.com/EddieMill/status/567220659386712066 Ed Che. Detroit, Chicago, world, free movement renaissance (let's start it off).

Re: [sudo-discuss] DS18B20 temperature sensors

by Richard Karnesky

I bought a couple five packs of DS18B20s off of amazon several months ago. I have a couple sensors that I can spare, but at the time, five packs were $11 and shipped prime and that would get to you quicker. What problems are you having with the thermocouples? If you're using a lot of cheap bare wire TCs and some beefy heaters, the TCs could just have an interference problem... --Rick

medium article on tech and barriers to entry

by Praveen Sinha

https://medium.com/@GRardB/techs-high-barrier-to-entry-for-the-underprivile… There's some problematic stuff with the article, but I think it does a good job in highlighting broadband/wireless disparities and the critical role that open wifi and projects like mesh could do to pick up the slack where the municipal governments are totally failing...

Radial arm saw a donation?

by beehappysolutions＠gmail.com

I want to know if sudo-room wants my radial arm saw in the sudo room space? I have been planning on bringing it over. But Jake suggested that I put it out on the list first. It's a Montgomery Ward model I believe and I've been using it for eight years and I just don't have room for it anymore. it's a really great tool and it cuts really straight lines and anybody can operate it. It comes with a stand that is made out of wood and it takes about 2' x 3' floor space (footprint ) and him the table let you cut is about 3 feet by about and then the arm saw is up at about 4 1/2 feet. I think it may also be on wheels for easy moving around I'm not sure about that. please tell me not to bring it if you feel strongly about me not donating it to Sudo room - otherwise I will plan on bringing over some time this week.

SF TechnoActivism Third TUESDAY -- Matthew Garrett on TPMs, Management Engines and more, 6PM, Feb 17, EFF HQ

by Danny O'Brien

This month's San Francisco Techno-Activism Third Monday: 1) ... will take place on TUESDAY 17th FEBRUARY, because we didn't want to stomp all over your long weekend. 2) ... features an eye-opening and fascinating discussion led by: Matthew "mjg59" Garrett, free software kernel coder. 3) ... will have Matthew walk you through: "TPMs, Management Engines, Secure Boot, Trusted Boot and things in-between." Hardwired code that can prevent you swapping out your computer's operating system[1]. Hidden, cordoned-off processors embedded in your PC that runs secret code, and can read your computer's memory and talk over the Internet without your knowledge[2]. For the last decade, and largely unnoticed, computers and mobile devices have been sprouting features that challenge the idea that the owner of a PC has ultimate control over their own hardware and software. These "trusted computing" developments have been called "treacherous computing"[3] by free software advocates because of their ability to betray the control of your computer to strangers. But might they also hold out the promise of better protection against external surveillance and compromise? Matthew won the 2013 Free Software Foundations' Free Software Award for his work to ensure that open platforms could work in conjunction with Secure Boot, and is now a FSF board member. He writes at http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/ and http://twitter.com/mjg59 [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Secure_… [2] http://www.slideshare.net/codeblue_jp/igor-skochinsky-enpub [3] http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/drm.html 4) ... will take place at: EFF Headquarters, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 941110 http://eff.org/815eddy 5) ... is at February 17th, 6:30PM (get here for 6:00 for snacks and introductions) 6) ... has no need for you to RSVP but you should subscribe to https://lists.eff.org/mailman/listinfo/ta3m-sf for info of future talks. 7) ... is part of the global movement of Techno-Activism Third Mondays. TA3M is an informal meetup designed to connect software creators and activists who are interested in censorship, surveillance, and open technology. Currently, TA3M are held in fifteen cities throughout the world, and growing. As the name implies, it is held on the third Monday of each month. See https://wiki.openitp.org/events:techno-activism_3rd_mondays or https://ta3m.org/ for details of your local event. 8) ... will see you there!
