Hey All,
sorry for YELLING, but this is critical to sudo room's continued operation.
I will be around Monday and Tuesday evening to hack on door access mainly
to install the keypad and get the raspi in a more stable state, even if
that means having it restart every 20 minutes.
If I have to climb up the elevator shaft my self with an ethernet cable I
will. Lets get this fixed.
Hack The Planet.

Can we set up a system of redundant Raspberry PIs? This is known as "being highly
available".

Yo Andrew-
I have a box of Cat 5 if this helps any, and my usual telco tool-set.
There shouldn't be a need to get into the elevator shaft. Darn if I
can't remember where I put my long drill-bits, but it's been a while
since I've been on the cable crew.
YES we need a means of access to the space that requires that people
have nothing more than a human body with a brain to remember the code
and fingers or equivalent to enter it.

I just spent some time updating all the software, fixing some
networking issues, and disabling services on the raspi in question. It
had a full X server + desktop environment booting by default, even
with no display attached! So I disabled all that and now the memory
usage is much lower. I suspect the "OOM killer" was causing these
problems, which fits our experience of features/services dropping one
by one until nothing worked at all - first captive DNS would go away,
then web server would go away, then dhcpd would go away...
It works now. Maybe this time it will work a few hours later. :)

Anon195714 : a spool of cat 5 would be great. Do you have a chrimper and
some ends for it?
*netdiva : *I would send an email to the list in a new thread asking if
anyone will be around. I'll be around this evening (around 6pm and on) and
I have keys . But if anyone else will be there they can let you in via the
intercom.
Thanks,

them often and will have to dig them up.

New subject: Cat5 materials + rackmount cases
We have some cat5 in the storage hallway, all the way toward the back on the right hand
side, not sure what all but looks like a few parts.
Also, completely unrelated, if anybody has network/audio rackmount gear that they
transport around alot or would like to keep on a vehicle, I came across this ad for 2
shock/vibration-protected cube enclosures for 80 bucks:

Hi Andrew-
Yes I have a crimper & ends, but standard practice is to put a jack on
each end of a cable (rather than a plug) and then use a patch cord
(which can be as short as 6" or as long as needed) to the device at each
end.
Crimping plugs onto twisted pair cable isn't recommended because twisted
pair solid conductor wire should be fastened permanently in place and
not subjected to flexing etc., otherwise the cable can downgrade or the
plugs can go faulty. If the door device has an Ethernet jack on it and
will be permanently mounted, then it's safe to crimp a plug onto that
end of the wire.
I'm sure I have some Cat5 jacks around, I'll look.
At some point we can discuss doing the whole patch panel thing upstairs.
Meanwhile tonight I have some diagrams to produce for a client... more
stuff about door stuff! For some weird reason I've gotten stuck in a
"door stuff" groove recently. It must be the squirrels. The answer to
many puzzling coincidences is "squirrels."
TTYs-
-G.
