Microcontroller Hack Night - Tomorrow!

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, I'm back from a brief hiatus and returning to sudo room with chips and wires tomorrow night for some good ole fashioned 8-bit tinkering. There have been a few projects going around involving solar power - it would be good to get a handle on this sun tracking thing once and for all, and a group is already in depth with some custom hardware but I think it would be fun to hack something together with car charger panels and servos. I will be working with Morten and Julio on a little project we call the garden sentry, which is basically a different take on the now more or less old hat closed-loop plant watering / aquaponics setup, with an emphasis on - you guessed it - being cheap. Beer machine testing will resume two weeks later since we're still waiting on some components to increase the heating power. Bonus round if time allows: testing out some of the solenoid valves that Steve donated. We probably won't be building a cryogenic fuel thrust vectoring lunar lander rocket engine with them as had been originally planned, but I have high hopes we can get within 1.5 orders of awesomeness magnitude. I will have some extra chips on hand if you're just getting started - atmega328p, uln2003, 555 timers, etc. Hope to see y'all there! Hol

Hacker Transpo

by J.C.

Hey all given an apparent discontinuation of BART service I thought it might be useful to let people know I'll be driving thru Oakland and SF the next couple of days, in particular between sudo room and noisebridge. I'll be heading down to sudo room for a brief stop at some point in the next couple of hours and then over to sf, I have room for a few if anyone needs a lift into the city later this afternoon. Also this seems like an epic opportunity for someone to throw together a Fuck BART carpool web app, or connect BART to the Internet of Things so that we can control it remotely. -- ThanX, ;+) https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Fort

Citizen Science and the Gonorrhea Eradication Team!

by Marc Juul

The Gonorrhea Eradication Team is a citizen science project launched out of sudo room: http://www.sudoroom.org/wiki/Phage_therapy We're a small group of hackers and scientists that are trying to crowdfund our initial lab rental and supplies in order to get the research started. The goal is, as the name states, to cure Gonorrhea using phage therapy. This is important since Gonorrhea is becoming increasingly resistant to existing antibiotics! Much more info on our crowdfunding campaign website: http://www.wepay.com/donations/gonorrhea-eradication-team Hopefully we'll be able to transition from rented lab space to Counter Culture Labs ( the upcoming east bay diybio space ) in a few months. Stay excellent. -- Marc

On the technical and legal aspects of security, transparency, and audibility of the NSA surveillance data.

by Jae Kwon

There is debate about whether the NSA's PRISM program is related to Palantir's products. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/06/23/1218189/-HBGary-Palantir-Prism-Fac… Whether they are related or not, it seems that the government's claims of transparency and audibility of the NSA's PRISM program is related (perhaps directly) to the claims of Palantir's. Search for "immutable auditing" below: http://www.palantir.com/wp-content/static/pg-analysis-blog/2009/07/Privacy-… It seems that even professor Lessig has bought into their marketing. http://lessig.tumblr.com/post/54268127504/on-the-freedom-to-speak (Palantir's product is the kind of thing that prof Lessig had always wanted, as you can read in his book "Code: and Other Laws of Cyberspce". In trying to strike a "balance" between copyright and privacy, prof Lessig proposes solutions that fail to prevent blanket government surveillance.) We need to scrutinize these technically incredible claims. I wager that for any given system that touts immutable audibility, there is a way to hack around it. As long as the NSA can tap the wires and record information in vast databases for cold storage, we are absolutely in risk. Technical/legal concepts that need to be scrutinized: * immutable audit log (see http://www.std.com/~cme/non-repudiation.htm) * non-repudiation * chain of custody - JaeKwon
