Fantastic People,
Today comcast installed business cable internet service at omni for supporting the upcoming Deconstruction event. It terminates in the ticket room where the existing cable penetration is. A very small router is mounted to the wall next to the ticket window. This works because Deconstruction's network needs will be near the back of the ballroom. After the event, Jason Naumoff (Deconstruction guy, CC’d on this message) will cancel the connection. Jason and/or his people will test the connection before the event. I have the IP details of the link if we need them, but we should probably just stay off that connection since it belongs to our event customer.
It might be of interest that there is existing coax running from the ticket room to other parts of the building. It looks like it branches off to some place downstairs and some place upstairs, probably where John G.’s residence was. In the future it would be possible to leverage part of this cable run to terminate the cable at the sudoroom racks.
Also of note: the cable signal coming into the building is VERY strong, so strong in fact that comcast put in a splitter to degrade the signal to a reasonable level so that the router can be installed in the ticket room. This bodes well for future connections that could terminate at the sudoroom racks.
That is all.
Ben
hey all,
at long last, the thedeconstruction.org folks are installing a temporary
internet service tomorrow for their Nov 15-16 event.
Comcast is coming tomorrow between 10am and 12noon.
Might someone on this list be able and willing to chat with Jason, one of
the event producers, about his needs?
curious,
D

Just ran this on our ssh server remotely:
https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli
Consistently getting ~30Mb down, ~1.6Mb up
to help administrators add new users to omni, sudo room, and other related
services (generating user accounts), I've started a bit on this:
https://github.com/wrought/omni-cli
# The point here is to provide a command-line interface to managing systems
for the omni oakland collective.
# To start, the goal is to add users to email lists and generate user
accounts on various web systems.
# This script is intended to be run locally and should only require access
to the server(s) in question.
very incomplete, but notably a first draft of a script for creating a user
based on email for MediaWiki is here:
https://github.com/wrought/omni-cli/blob/master/scripts/mediawiki/createUse…
The idea is that this script is run at the command-line by a user who has
proper access (e.g. root) to the server(s) in question to provide accounts.

I installed a small tool to help people troubleshoot when the network is
being slow.
On the gateway (space.local) run:
nethogs eth0
Then hit 'r' and 's' to toggle between sorting by receiving (downloading)
and sending (uploading) clients.
Quick and easy way of figuring out which IP is being problematic.

I’d like to restore service to the sudo streaming radio. I propose to attach a bunch of external storage to a smallish (dedicated or not) server and have a streaming radio process on it send a 128kbps audio stream up to a cloud radio provider. Additionally, I’d have a cut-in so that people who are actually pretty phenomenal DJs like Chris can perform live on the stream.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I changed the 192.168.42.1 gateway like so:
* Changed hostname to space
* Changed domain to local
* Installed avahi-daemon
* Disabled dnsmasq's dhcp function
* Installed and configured isc-dhcp-server (dnsmasq's dhcp is not for
large networks)
* Changed DNS servers from google's to sonic.net's
* Expanded the subnet to /16
* Changed/expanded dhcp range to 192.168.50.1-192.168.200.254
* Lowered dhcp lease time to 600 second (1200 max)
I removed a rogue dhcp server that was running on the network (we really
need a script to detect these).
BAPS was *this* close to paying for a wordpress.com blog ... but
instead I made them a free wordpress instance on our Linode. Right now
it is at: https://sudoroom.org/baps
I wasn't sure of the mysql root password and didn't seem worth it to
just shut down the whole thing, so it's sharing the sudoer database
with $table_prefix = 'baps_'
We will move it to a proper domain as soon as they get access to their
registrar.
Hope this is ok with everyone!
SERVER ROOM UPDATE JULY 21, 2014
Hello all,
We finally concluded that the small stage that oversees the Sudoroom is
where we'll put the Server Room. Yes, the area behind the SudoRoom sign.
This particular area is full of wood and other stuff that needs to move,
so if you feel helping on this part of Sudo Reboot, please do.
If you have any questions or need more info on how to help please check
with Marc, David, Daniel, or Jeremy.
Thank you!

Hello All,
I meant to inform you earlier, but we have Internet access at Sudo, at
least for today.
I am using my phone hotspot feature and the speed is not bad, 25Mbps
download, and 6.5Mbps upload. I am planning to continue to stay here for
the rest of the afternoon and evening. Tomorrow, perhaps someone else
should be sharing their access.
I have not checked how far the wireless signal goes, but it may spread
to other areas of the building.
The SSID is: SudoerTempNetAccess
Password: sudosudo
Thx!
