Here's a Pretty Legit Gibsonian Cyberdeck
Back in the mid-80's, the “cyberdeck”—the neural-connected, on-the-go interface from William Gibsons Sprawl Trilogy—captured the imagination of every cyberpunk fan. IMGUR user D10D3 has uploaded pics of one of the slickest attempts at a real Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7 Ive seen.

Hi guys,
[5/2/2017 10:48 AM] dave01972
The North Dallas Area Retrocomputer meetup group meets three or four times a year at the Makerspace. There is a good representation of Makerspace members in the meetup, but it's a good mix of folks, including some who drive from as far away as Houston. We have diverse interests and there's usually a good mix of retrocomputers to talk about and demonstrate. Members are invited to bring something for show-and-tell, or just to stop by and chew the fat. We are scheduling a summer meetup, and so far the best dates are looking like July 15 or July 29. July 22 is excluded because that conflicts with KansasFest. I invite you all to join. It's not necessary to join the meetup, but it helps to join and RSVP, for pizza planning purposes.

I'll check my stash, but honestly, unmarked is unlikely (and my stash is not what it once was)

I can probably sticker over them. It's for wasteland so they will probably get dirtied up

8bitguy is in the meetup group, so there's a chance. Once the date is set, folks can RSVP through meetup, and you can see who plans to show up.
[5/5/2017 2:54 PM] dave01972
The Meetup is scheduled for July 22, 2017 from 3-6pm at the Makerspace interactive classroom. Any kind of show and tell is welcome. Or just come to shoot the breeze with other retrocomputing nerds. This is a diverse group of hobbyists, so we see the popular machines (apple,atari,commodore,etc.), but also some S-100 systems, single-board computers, foreign somputers, and other neat, unusual stuff.
[5/5/2017 2:55 PM] dave01972
I think it would be cool to have a "repair table" set up, to bring in and discuss works in progress as well.
[5/5/2017 3:53 PM] raymond011905
I'll have to see if I can make it in July. I'm happy to set up a repair table and bring up one of my solder stations, logic probe, and tools/parts. 😃

Got the date wrong, sorry. It's July 29. July 22 conflicts with KansasFest, and some members will be going.

Is there any chance any of you have enough pull with someone at IBM to convince them that Lotus Notes is a vintage program and should be permanently retired from general use and relegated to museums and interactive displays, freeing us from it's ever-crashing nonsense?
[5/8/2017 3:49 PM] denzuko
@mr.clark6147 sadly no.. they like it way too much despite even the majority of IBM says its legacy and needs to be deprecated. I think it would be easier to convince end users to switch to something better than to convince big blue thier wrong.

Introduction to TIGK stack for IoT | Hackaday.io
The TIGK Stack is a collection of associated technologies which combine to deliver a platform for storing, capturing, monitoring and visualizing data that is in time series. The TIGK stack consists of the following technologies:
Telgeraf collection of tie sequential data from a range of sources including IoT devices.InfluxDB high performance and efficient database store for handling high volumes of time-series data.Grafana   real-time visualization of InfluxDB data.Kapacitor monitoring and alerting based on views of InfluxDB data and anomalies contained within those views.As we can see from this tech stack, TIGK is perfect for monitoring IoT devices in real-time to automate complex systems such as a manufacturing plant.Basic Feature Set of TIGK
As this is a combination of technologies, it is best to introduce the key features of each part of the TIGK stack thus:
Telegraf lightweight and efficient with support for multiple data sources. Comes complete with over 40 plugins to help with input and output. Can interface with messaging systems such as Apache Kafka and with third party API from Google and Amazon.InfluxDB open source, a simple architecture capable of handling unstructured data. High performance with inbuilt horizontal scaling through server clustering. Standardized native API and

It worked for a short time. Had issues breaking blocks even outside of starting area. Then the server crasehd 😃

I'll look over the logs and see what can be done

Something with pfsense.
[10/19/2017 12:44 AM] canibalcrab
And they didn't care to look into it because we were told we shouldn't be playing games at the space
[10/19/2017 12:45 AM] denzuko
I'm aware of that one, it's more about preventing piracy than not allowing gaming at the space.
[10/19/2017 12:46 AM] denzuko
are you guys connecting from home or while at the space?
[10/19/2017 12:51 AM] canibalcrab
I haven't tried Minecraft
[10/19/2017 12:52 AM] canibalcrab
Sure doesn't sound like trying to prevent piracy when you are told "you shouldn't be playing games at the space" I know you can allow ports to go through as well.
[10/19/2017 12:55 AM] denzuko
wouldn't know anything about that. I've seen a lot of people playing games at the space. Blizzard just tends to use udp for it's protocol and BitTorrent to transfer game files. While most other games like Minecraft uses TCP the same protocol which web and ssh uses.
[10/19/2017 1:00 AM] denzuko
@Limey (MReynolds) how about yourself, are you connecting from the space or elsewhere?

Connecting from home

Heck we play Artemis and Empty Epsilon at the space lol
[10/19/2017 1:03 AM] limeytx
I guess those stay on lan tho
[10/19/2017 1:03 AM] canibalcrab
So could the request be made that it get unblocked and if it becomes an issue and you see a user transferring tons of data you deal with it then?
[10/19/2017 1:03 AM] canibalcrab
I see no reason to punish everyone for something that "may" happen
[10/19/2017 1:06 AM] denzuko
@pearce feel free to put it on the issue tracker, however it would be easier to get a openvpn setup and play ones games over that while at the space
[10/19/2017 2:05 AM] denzuko
ok, checked the logs and not seeing anything there. @Limey (MReynolds) when you break blocks do they kind of glitch like it's broken but still there then drops the item as normal?

tl;dr - Yes. The PC/Mac version is much more easily moddable than any console or portable version. ( Also the Win10 version is the same as the console/portable version and is also difficult to mod )

Ah, so the Java edition is the way to go and I presume Linux works well too. Thanks!

the java version works on any system that allows java to be installed (so yes, you can run it on your favorite distro)

I understand the following commands:
`!about` or `!commands` - This about message.
`!help` - Request help from volunteers, for example `!help I can't access the fileserver` will send a request to the active volunteers.
`!volunteer` - Add yourself to the list of active volunteers, gain access to post in the #deleted-channel channel.
`!unvoluntter` - Remove yourself from the list of active volunteers and stop receiving notifcations.
`!volunteers` - List the active volunteers.
`!members` - Show the total number of active DMS members.
`!8ball` - Ask the magic 8 ball a question.
`!random` - Request a random number, chosen by fair dice roll.
If I'm not working correctly or you'd like to help improve me, please join the #infrastructure channel.

[4/11/2018 8:57 PM] denzuko
yes
[4/11/2018 8:59 PM] denzuko
I like that idea, how could we make it more lively and engaging?
[4/11/2018 9:00 PM] denzuko
good ideas
[4/11/2018 9:00 PM] mrcity
Just for posterity, basically having retro game tournaments and some programming sessions
[4/11/2018 9:01 PM] mrcity
We need a hacker type like Rachel Simone Weil to be using it on a regular basis and do cool stuff ;)
[4/11/2018 9:01 PM] mrcity
If only David Murray weren't all the way in Fort Worth, we could encourage him to work on some of his Commodore games over here
[4/11/2018 9:02 PM] mrcity

agreed
[4/11/2018 9:07 PM] denzuko
and on that I figured we could do a instruct the instructor pool
[4/11/2018 9:08 PM] denzuko
but also acknowledge the few volunteers that do not have the same skills in "retro" that we do and have them as SMEs
[4/11/2018 9:10 PM] denzuko
great, any thoughts on how we could facilitate that?
[4/11/2018 9:11 PM] denzuko
agreed
[4/11/2018 9:11 PM] denzuko
I'll be glad to put something up on talk, do we have any volunteers for putting something together for in the museum?

I'm looking at the requirements for seating and having a seperate area with lockers .. we don't have locking storage at the space unless we put some in.. this would have to go directly outside the room where the current area is ..

those lockers by electricons meet the requirements just need a bit of hacking on the spi bus

no worries, I've had that talk before but it's smashing to have the rest of the committee talking to everyone about these sort of things

oh man, we had a vending machine with tech stuff in it before, it will probably be a sore spot for a lot of people
[4/14/2018 8:14 PM] denzuko
what happened?
[4/14/2018 8:15 PM] canibalcrab
never got stocked, fixed, worked
[4/14/2018 8:16 PM] canibalcrab
also it was some convoluted "loophole" to pay via webservice so it didnt count as a vending machine and he didnt have to deal with that legal stuff
[4/14/2018 8:17 PM] canibalcrab
then when we had one that was owned by DMS, it wasnt managed well, or stocked with useful stuff that wasnt overpriced
[4/14/2018 8:18 PM] canibalcrab
so we tried to let members stock stuff in it. then never really paid people when they sold stuff
[4/14/2018 8:19 PM] denzuko
o.O.... yeah.. I can see where it would be a sore spot
[4/14/2018 8:19 PM] canibalcrab
im not saying its a bad idea, i think it could be cool. but youll have an uphill battle ahead of you
[4/14/2018 8:26 PM] denzuko
good to know and I think it would be a great addition to the space. Personally, since it would be a revenue stream for the committee and by extension to the space as a whole it should be managed 10x better than we do with the food vending machines. So I would lean on my business experience and make sure that our 99.9% uptime SLA to the membership is met plus, items would be reviewed/tracked for which are relevant and a vendor contract would be setup for items to be stocked regularly.
[4/14/2018 8:27 PM] denzuko
Which for disclosure, Tanner's would actually be top on that list for the vendor deck to reach out to with the offer.
[4/14/2018 8:34 PM] draco_the_drake
Yes, it is one reason they went with the snack vendor that have now. Things never got bought or stocked. I would love to have a vending machine with all kinds of things like this in it. Perhaps there is a company willing to provide one and keep it stocked?
[4/14/2018 8:35 PM] draco_the_drake
SD cards, Batteries, Arduino, Rasp PI, Flash Drives, USB cables to name a few things
[4/14/2018 8:36 PM] draco_the_drake
Perhaps if you can provide the vending machine, Tanners would keep it stocked?
[4/14/2018 8:45 PM] canibalcrab
That's possible
[4/14/2018 8:45 PM] canibalcrab
Would you like me to float the idea to Jimmy Tanner to see what he thinks?
[4/14/2018 8:49 PM] draco_the_drake
I want to think it out a bit first but that sounds like a good step .. I would like to think of any other angles first before approching Tanners. Anyway with all this stuff about the board coming down on people for trying to negotiate, I wouldn't want you in trouble
[4/14/2018 8:51 PM] canibalcrab
He's not a public official. I'm not worried about that. Let me know when and I can talk with him, I work with him a lot

@Denzuko.sdf.org Did you see the lockable storage thread on talk?
[4/14/2018 9:54 PM] davidkessinger9707
I personally have no problem with the idea of a vending machine that stocks parts that are highly used. Seeing if they are open to the idea is wort investigating. Some threshold issues: Who is going to pay for the vending machine? How is that cost going to be recovered or not? Where will it be located? Will just one vendor be able to stock in it? Who is responsible for any shrinkage.
Also, I would expect that Tanners would charge a little more for the items as it now costs more to stock it: Labor/time to come over and refill machine, effort to get paid with that added delay. We've been talking with Fastenal about having them stock some of their vending machines. But the cost is fairly high with the guarantee.
I know this discussion is about parts not food, however this may be relevant as they are the big reasons we have Parks is:
• No minimum sales guarantee. DMS owes nothing to parks but space and electricity.
• No shrinkage guarantee, which includes spoilage, which is important where fresh food is concerned.
• No Term/contract Period, either Parks or DMS can terminate whenever they want. We arent forced to keep a company we arent happy with.
• No anti-compete clauses - we can sell anything we want to compete with them or make whatever we want.

[4/19/2018 5:30 PM] denzuko
basically future recording studio for projects and secured storage
[4/19/2018 5:31 PM] denzuko
with a section dedicated to manufacture of printed parts
[4/19/2018 5:31 PM] draco_the_drake
Alright, is this paid for by DMS?
[4/19/2018 5:31 PM] draco_the_drake
Or is it your personal space
[4/19/2018 5:31 PM] draco_the_drake
legally
[4/19/2018 5:32 PM] denzuko
it's donated to the committee
[4/19/2018 5:33 PM] draco_the_drake
The property is a donation as in the DMS owns it or is it leased under your name and you are allowing DMS to store things there?
[4/19/2018 5:35 PM] denzuko
if need be we should look into something paided by DMS but it's space tacked on to my own lease that goes unused thus being donated for VCC and DMS to utilize
[4/19/2018 5:36 PM] draco_the_drake
Okay .. it is your garage then .. no worries .. you might not want to represent it as a DMS controlled space until the board knows legally about it
[4/19/2018 5:37 PM] denzuko
hence why it's called studio 42 still to this day. got that name from a project before joining the space
[4/19/2018 5:41 PM] draco_the_drake
So, answer your question .. I don't have a problem with you storing the stuff at your house but others might .. if they need access to it and can't get it for whatever reason because it was taken home with someone .. I do believe there is rule about taking DMS items out of the building but I don't think it applies here .. but others may want to teach the class without you being avaliable.. so I think we need to store at least the instructor equipment on site as well as work out a way to notify the board of what DMS equipment is being storied in your garage
[4/19/2018 5:44 PM] denzuko
right
[4/19/2018 5:45 PM] denzuko
we better push for on site storage
[4/19/2018 5:45 PM] draco_the_drake
Yes, I think that is a requirement regardless of certification ..

Committees can rent storage space out of DMS funds. This is storage space, not a locker to just check things in and and out of if going to someplace other than DMS. Science rents a small unit for items they can't fit into their space. When needed they bring it in DMS and it exchanges places. This addresses the access issue since designated members could be given a key or combination to gain access. I personally am not comfortable with DMS "sharing" s property would be co-mingled. But if this is desired submit as an agenda item.
[4/20/2018 4:25 PM] denzuko
@David Kessinger the concern is noted, to point out there is an access code that's fairly easily remembered, and locks that open via bluetooth. Plus, the studio is converted to do recording for labs and storing of sensitive electronics. However this is all under consideration and to prevent conflict we'll actively look into presenting a board agenda item with a well planned budget and goals defined.
[4/20/2018 4:52 PM] davidkessinger9707
It sounds like we're sharing rent thus lowering cost for other renter. That is very likely personally enurement even if we get a good deal on rent.
[4/20/2018 5:26 PM] denzuko
ok, to be clear. no. DMS is not funding, paying of rent nor in any agreement with of lease and/or rent of the property and/or allocated physical space codenamed "studio 42".
Studio 42 is not any sort of storage space, unit or the such. it's life began as a unattached garage to the committee founder prior to the committee creation and was convert to use as a studio and equipment storage prior again to the creation of VCC. Property of Dwight Spencer has been on loan to the committee for usage and all items have been paid out of pocket from Dwight Spencer. Since DMS has never paid for any of the items for VCC a transfer of ownership would require an inventoring of items with recept of donation.
Something of which had been on the backlog to complete anyways just out of due diligence.
About the only thing that's been officially donated to VCC has been a non working Mac pro tower, the desk, monitor, a digital logic tool, and shelving unit at the space.
Any books and equipment have either been personally collected from the donation shelf in the back or under the express knowledge that it is to be processed for donation to archive.org
[4/20/2018 5:30 PM] denzuko
now that out the way yes if there a requirement for committee storage then there is no barrier in that direction other than a simple consider for temperature controlled storage
[4/20/2018 5:32 PM] denzuko
I'd also encourage committee members to come help scan the books in the back log and prep them for shipping to the national computer museum.
along with coming by to help the creation of an inventory spreadsheet so there is no further question on this matter
[4/20/2018 5:36 PM] denzuko
that last one there would not be any issue as I'm being very altruistic in not just the space but just about everything that there ( save for the book binding materials )
[4/20/2018 7:26 PM] draco_the_drake
@Denzuko.sdf.org said "i mean, live stream one to twitch"
It is simple as a capture card or usb capture dongle and a PC running Open Broadcaster
Digital media may have composite to usb adapters and could be run off of one of the DMS laptops
[4/20/2018 7:28 PM] draco_the_drake
As far as defragging old computer disks. That requires just copying file by file to blank disk. I use to do that for them.
[4/20/2018 7:43 PM] denzuko
nice
[4/20/2018 7:44 PM] denzuko
what would be good to stream?
[4/20/2018 7:46 PM] draco_the_drake
Well, you could stream programming a game for example or playing one ...
[4/20/2018 7:46 PM] draco_the_drake
Twitch has a creative section and but mostly is about games
[4/20/2018 7:46 PM] draco_the_drake
Or generally about games
[4/20/2018 7:48 PM] draco_the_drake
You could stream a class
[4/20/2018 7:49 PM] draco_the_drake

Do u know if there is anything like game shark for the 64?
[4/20/2018 8:45 PM] denzuko
yeah, run/stop then peek and poke

[4/20/2018 8:46 PM] draco_the_drake
The peek and poke method doesn't allow you to resume
[4/21/2018 10:25 AM] gothannie
I think my mother saved Rodents Revenge on a floppy. Or something.
[4/21/2018 1:25 PM] draco_the_drake
So when do yall want to do a hacking challenge?
[4/21/2018 5:38 PM] denzuko
Rodents Revenge was a fun game, mostly spent my time playing muds and doom back then but still it was a good change of pace
[4/21/2018 5:38 PM] denzuko
@Draco any time you feel n.n
[4/22/2018 2:37 AM] draco_the_drake
I think it might be fun to have an intro class a couple of times to get some people interested before delving into the big challenges
[4/22/2018 4:22 PM] draco_the_drake

@Draco @David Kessinger I think we need to address the core question here that's came out of the pearson vue thread so we can discover the figures of what's is going to take and returns. So, who can contact Pearson Vue and when?
[4/24/2018 2:19 PM] draco_the_drake
@Denzuko.sdf.org that chart is confusing
[4/24/2018 2:21 PM] draco_the_drake
@Denzuko.sdf.org Why is the committee meeting again online only? This was the mistake we made last time.
[4/24/2018 2:30 PM] denzuko
its online only this time because last time it was both in classroom (with no attendance) and online which prompted a discussion from the classroom committee. Where we've agreed to have the meeting online to keep the classrooms free for classes.
[4/24/2018 2:36 PM] draco_the_drake
There WAS attendance by Bill
[4/24/2018 2:37 PM] draco_the_drake
It doesn't need to take up a classroom with the small number of people currently
[4/24/2018 2:37 PM] clone1018
Good functional committee meetings are just as important as classes.
[4/24/2018 2:37 PM] draco_the_drake
I agree
[4/24/2018 2:38 PM] draco_the_drake
There are many other places that we can meet that are not scheduled very often
[4/24/2018 2:38 PM] draco_the_drake
at the space
[4/24/2018 2:39 PM] draco_the_drake
Steve (mrcity) was at the space for the meeting as well
[4/24/2018 2:41 PM] draco_the_drake
This was one of the reasons I think Bill steped down as co-chair .. his input is valuable to the committee and it is not fair to exclude him by using a platform that he doesn't or can't use
[4/24/2018 2:54 PM] draco_the_drake
I think voting should only be allowed if it is at the space. Proxy voting is allowed for those online. But there should be a quorum also required for voting.
[4/24/2018 2:55 PM] draco_the_drake
I think the change from Vintage to VCC has thrown everyone off a bit . I'm not certain anyone really knows what VCC is or why they would want it
[4/24/2018 2:56 PM] denzuko

[4/24/2018 3:23 PM] draco_the_drake
How do you plan on setting up for it? Do we have access to a webcam? Can we use one of the laptops?
[4/24/2018 3:24 PM] draco_the_drake
Does that big screen in the conference room do this?
[4/24/2018 3:24 PM] denzuko
yes, we can use one of the laptops. I'll bring in a webcam from the studio and we can set up in the common area.
[4/24/2018 3:25 PM] denzuko
I'll have to move a few funds around to cover lyft costs but we'll be able to have the meeting at the space.
[4/24/2018 3:26 PM] draco_the_drake
Yeah, I think it is best if members are at the space more often ...
[4/24/2018 3:26 PM] clone1018
I guess that's the confusing part, seems like you schedule meetings you do not have the ability to attend, like the last couple of developer meetings
[4/24/2018 3:27 PM] draco_the_drake
Where are you at @Denzuko.sdf.org we might be able to arrange someone picking you up and ride-sharing
[4/24/2018 3:28 PM] denzuko
doing m-f I'm in Coppell and live out in plano.
[4/24/2018 3:28 PM] denzuko

I live out in plano and weekdays I'm working in coppell
[4/24/2018 3:29 PM] draco_the_drake
If you are unable to make it to the space we need to have someone else lead the meeting from the space
[4/24/2018 3:29 PM] clone1018

[4/24/2018 3:29 PM] denzuko
yes
[4/24/2018 3:30 PM] clone1018
Very close to the space, how do you get home in a way that doesnt take you close to DMS?
[4/24/2018 3:30 PM] clone1018
I guess that doesnt matter
[4/24/2018 3:30 PM] denzuko
its an 45 minute train ride from the office but a three hour from plano #><

If you and I are going to the same meeting I can easily pick you up
[4/24/2018 3:31 PM] denzuko
I'm mostly worried about after the meeting but sure we could do that.
[4/24/2018 3:31 PM] clone1018
how is after any different from coppell?
[4/24/2018 3:32 PM] clone1018
Either way you have to take the green / orange line back to downtown
[4/24/2018 3:32 PM] clone1018
and then red back up ?

so it's the route to your house
[4/24/2018 3:33 PM] denzuko
yep

which costs about the same as going to work the next day

for going across town anyway
[4/24/2018 3:40 PM] denzuko
yeah.. its not going to get any better for another six years, by then they'll have a few extra train and bus lines completed.
[4/24/2018 3:41 PM] draco_the_drake

plus two additional battery packs
[4/24/2018 3:45 PM] denzuko
yeah can't go scooter (or something) that would require a licence which texas thinks I have a license in another state which I don't
[4/24/2018 3:45 PM] draco_the_drake
So, is it just the license thing?
[4/24/2018 3:46 PM] denzuko
yeah. otherwise I would have fixed up the bmw and the pt cuiser
[4/24/2018 3:46 PM] denzuko
instead of donating them
[4/24/2018 3:46 PM] draco_the_drake
Alright.. lets work on that .. I'm sure we can work together and figure this out
[4/24/2018 3:47 PM] draco_the_drake
Have you ever had a drivers license?
[4/24/2018 3:47 PM] denzuko
right, so who's doing a road trip to colorado and tracking down my doppelganger? because no no I have not had a license
[4/24/2018 3:48 PM] draco_the_drake
Well, they keep SS numbers ... unless someone is identity stealing .. it shouldn't be that hard to prove
[4/24/2018 3:49 PM] draco_the_drake
Do you have your birth certificate?
[4/24/2018 3:49 PM] denzuko
of course
[4/24/2018 3:50 PM] draco_the_drake
Alright .. so when you went down to take your written drivers test.. they said you already had a license in colorado, correct?
[4/24/2018 3:50 PM] denzuko
yeah and I showed them my state id from colorado where they then said our records show otherwise.
[4/24/2018 3:51 PM] draco_the_drake
okay, so you have an id from colorado but not a license but they think it is a license .. alright .. let me research this a bit
[4/24/2018 3:51 PM] draco_the_drake
Did you get a texas ID?
[4/24/2018 3:52 PM] denzuko
yes
[4/24/2018 3:52 PM] denzuko
and the colorado one had better hair 😉
[4/24/2018 4:37 PM] clone1018
Yes we should help you get that resolved
[4/24/2018 4:39 PM] clone1018
So you have a state ID now, you have your SSN, take a tax form, utility statement, paycheck, etc to the DMV and you should be good?
[4/24/2018 4:39 PM] clone1018
It only matters if you're from another state if you have a valid drivers license in that other state
[4/24/2018 4:52 PM] denzuko
yeah have all those and that's the confusion with the Texas DMV. they seem to believe that I do have one still in Colorado which I have not ever had one
[4/24/2018 4:53 PM] denzuko
/me shrugs
[4/24/2018 4:57 PM] clone1018
Who did they tell you to talk to?
[4/24/2018 4:58 PM] denzuko
they gave me the phone number for Colorado dmv and they don't have anything
[4/24/2018 5:01 PM] denzuko
I've even gone as far to had a few lawyers discuss the matter and well the cost for that the time off work and trips to and from Colorado is way more than I spend on Lyft or buying a house

I just contacted the Texas dps and they said it was a strange situation ... it could be that you have tickets in Colorado ... but he said that if you could get a letter from Colorado.stating that you do not have a license that he wouldn't have a problem accepting it ...

Hmm, what topic?
[4/27/2018 1:34 PM] draco_the_drake
If it is to be makery, perhaps it should cover many committees? The potential for many differing results.
[4/27/2018 1:35 PM] draco_the_drake
Or should it just be about hardware/software?
[4/27/2018 1:37 PM] clone1018
It's pre-planning stages @Denzuko.sdf.org so I didnt make anything yet
[4/27/2018 1:38 PM] clone1018
It might be interesting to talk to a couple of committees, "What are your biggest problems" and see if we can fix them with hardware / software
[4/27/2018 1:38 PM] clone1018
@Draco anything that benefits DMS
[4/27/2018 1:38 PM] clone1018
So like my idea was a minute taking app specifically for DMS formatted minutes
[4/27/2018 1:38 PM] clone1018
To help committees and the board take minutes
[4/27/2018 1:38 PM] clone1018
Some fancy react thing that lets you input items, allocations, notes and votes
[4/27/2018 1:39 PM] clone1018
easily done in 8 hours or so and tons of benefit
[4/27/2018 1:46 PM] denzuko
talk to a couple of committees, "What are your biggest problems" and see if we can fix them with hardware / software [ or hands-on help ]. yeah, that and regularly.. isn't there a meeting for that?? ;)

Ideally this would be for small things that can be completed in one sitting, a hackathon

What worked well? What was the theme? What projects did everyone work on?
[4/27/2018 1:48 PM] denzuko
we should spread the word about it that meeting. But yes I've had a few and the turn out well. most of them have been educational though
[4/27/2018 1:49 PM] denzuko
I wonder, what difference would it be to have an app than adding that functionality to say talk?
[4/27/2018 1:50 PM] clone1018
Talk is not an official source of information, only the wiki is
[4/27/2018 1:50 PM] denzuko
which path would the members benefits the most form and adopt?

but with a pretty / fast ui
[4/27/2018 1:53 PM] denzuko
ok.. so why not add the media wiki forms extension into the wiki and use the Hackathon time to build the templates for meetings?
[4/27/2018 1:54 PM] denzuko
(FYI, not trying to shoot down the idea just trying to help you plan out your solution)
[4/27/2018 1:55 PM] clone1018
I guess that's the fun of having a hackathon right?
[4/27/2018 1:55 PM] clone1018
The point is solving the problem
[4/27/2018 1:56 PM] clone1018
So if that's a discourse addon, or a mediawiki form, or a custom app
[4/27/2018 1:57 PM] clone1018
who cares
[4/27/2018 1:57 PM] denzuko
that is very true
[4/27/2018 2:02 PM] denzuko
so a little bit about me, you may know that my day to day work is in it but what one doesn't know is that I've been in QA and project management for some time now and have been an advisor for a lot of startups. so one in such a position tends to see a lot of the same "pot holes" when planning or coming up with solutions, I'm guilty of it too.. So yes, I'll push back on ideas from time to rime but only an open invitation to convince the hardcore of users and get the gears greesed for one to move forward with the concept or solution.
[4/27/2018 2:03 PM] denzuko
that Said, I'm totally on board with a DMS Hackathon and think we need to hash out the details then get it scheduled and promoted
[4/27/2018 2:06 PM] draco_the_drake
I think while it should be benefiting us, it also should benefit others in general and be published publicly.
We may have many non-members want to participate.

@@LukeStrickland said "Talk is not an official source of information, only the wiki is"
One problem is keeping it updated ... and since all members can edit it ... making sure someone isn't editing things that they shouldn't ... do people get notified when a change is made ... I'm not sure how all that a works

[4/27/2018 4:36 PM] clone1018

The benefit of a wiki, in an all volunteer situation like the one we have, no one knows everything. We work together to build out our knowledge.

[4/27/2018 4:55 PM] denzuko
maybe something like a dms makercoin could be awarded for the quality of contributions?

we're no longer the club of hobbists. we've reached full out business with customer numbers

[4/27/2018 5:00 PM] denzuko
and I've heard what some of the tour guides have put out there, it's very much a pitch
[4/27/2018 5:00 PM] draco_the_drake
That idea has been tossed around several times ... search on talk
[4/27/2018 5:02 PM] canibalcrab
You can only expect so much out of volunteers. You could argue that the chair is responsible for keeping the information about the committee up to date. (Or getting someone willing to do it)
[4/27/2018 5:03 PM] draco_the_drake
If it is official then yes there should be someone with that responsibility
[4/27/2018 5:03 PM] draco_the_drake
For different area perhaps different people
[4/27/2018 5:04 PM] canibalcrab
Like the person who represents the committee?
[4/27/2018 5:04 PM] draco_the_drake
Yup for official committee pages
[4/27/2018 5:05 PM] draco_the_drake
And the secretary for board and rules related
[4/27/2018 5:08 PM] draco_the_drake
I think there should be some sort of standard information required to be kept up to date ...
[4/27/2018 5:08 PM] draco_the_drake
The rest is up to the community
[4/27/2018 5:10 PM] draco_the_drake
As we grow it might be helpful also to have a committee manual or at least one for new chairs ....

the problem you have there is "required"
[4/27/2018 5:12 PM] canibalcrab
what do you do when its not done?
[4/27/2018 5:12 PM] canibalcrab
we do have a manual that can be given to new members
[4/27/2018 5:12 PM] denzuko
it would be great if there is some standards on that since it seems not one person knows what all is expected of a chair other than have classes and recruit for the committee while attending ever meeting
[4/27/2018 5:13 PM] draco_the_drake
They get reminded and if they aren't filling there role as chair ... for whatever reason .. someone else needs to take it

Realizing I'm a day late and dollar short, re: the wiki and keeping up, notifications,etc. The system is waaaaay out of date. Brief discussion on TALK with Brooks about why it hasn't been updated, what it would take, etc. https://talk.dallasmakerspace.org/t/wiki-search-sucks/27168/9 Pertinent to the questions asked, though, is there a notification? NO. there is SUPPOSED to be, but it hasn't worked in years. It worked occasionally back in 2015 or so, but hasn't worked recently at all, to my knowledge. (It's not the only thing; frankly, email notifications have never worked reliably during my tenure, and I have yet to find anyone sincerely interested in listening, let alone capable of finding and fixing problems). Back on track: TL;DNR: wiki needs updated, notifications don't work.

The wiki is an important asset to Laser. We make regular updates. It houses not just our rules, but also anything that we want to be institutional knowledge, like maintenance history of our equipment and links to items we've bought. Even paint colors and fonts. It was key to the transition from @merissa to me. Very easy to update. I like it when Chris Marlow, one - if not our main - Talk moderators, see something in the forum that should be preserved and takes the initiative to update the wiki. I've started using it to preserve important Talk threads. Added to our Tips and Tricks section the recent how-to thread about working with leather on the lasers.

Even if no one ever looks at it but me, it is tons of help from an admin standpoint. Just wanted to say something nice about the wiki.

[4/30/2018 10:35 AM] clone1018
were you talking to me?
[4/30/2018 10:36 AM] denzuko
oh yes, you where asking for some help testing something?
[4/30/2018 10:39 AM] clone1018
Too late now...
[4/30/2018 10:42 AM] denzuko
sorry :(
[4/30/2018 10:48 AM] clone1018
So right now no new users can signup to the wiki, upgrading to 1.30 silently broke the LDAP integration. Tonight I'm going to hack away at a SSO / LDAP / remote auth solution with whatever works with MediaWiki at the moment
[4/30/2018 10:49 AM] clone1018
I'm thinking SSO should be easiest, since I can do deep integration with MM4
{Reactions}
👍
[4/30/2018 11:06 AM] denzuko
I agree, sso would be the best path forward. We are using okta at the moment for a few things already but if we get the gitlab operational then using oauth against our ldap becomes a breeze and cuts costs to infrastructure
[4/30/2018 11:15 AM] denzuko
one could also use adfs
[4/30/2018 12:47 PM] clone1018
I dont want mediawiki to do anything
[4/30/2018 12:47 PM] clone1018
besides ask makermanager if these credentials are okay
[4/30/2018 1:08 PM] denzuko
so would that mean mm being the issuing authority instead of an interface for ldap and billing?
[4/30/2018 1:14 PM] clone1018
MakerManager is the source of truth with our current infrastructure
[4/30/2018 1:14 PM] clone1018
AD is built on data from it
[4/30/2018 1:14 PM] clone1018
but either way MM4 authentication uses LDAP
[4/30/2018 1:14 PM] clone1018
But I dont want mediawiki directly talking to ldap
[4/30/2018 1:14 PM] clone1018
if that makes sense
[4/30/2018 1:35 PM] draco_the_drake
AD has redundancies and MM4 does not ... perhaps there might be a good way to do LDAP<->JSON in a redundant secure way to allow all apps and future apps to authenicate and get information from AD without all the hassle of working with LDAP/AD
[4/30/2018 1:37 PM] clone1018
When MM4 takes over billing / user data it will be redundant
[4/30/2018 1:37 PM] clone1018
However our LDAP server is not performant
[4/30/2018 1:38 PM] draco_the_drake
So, it will poll the LDAP server and cache the data?
[4/30/2018 1:39 PM] clone1018
Right now it just polls the LDAP server every time
[4/30/2018 1:39 PM] draco_the_drake
Yes but as you said the LDAP server is not preformant ..
[4/30/2018 1:39 PM] clone1018
Yeah?
[4/30/2018 1:39 PM] clone1018
It polls it slowly ?
[4/30/2018 1:40 PM] clone1018
It depends, it's not always slow. Sometimes it's the network, sometimes it's not.
[4/30/2018 1:40 PM] clone1018
I can turn on a flag and MM4 can start storing passwords
[4/30/2018 1:40 PM] clone1018
and then authentication can skip ldap
[4/30/2018 1:42 PM] draco_the_drake
Then MM4 will be the thing everything auths off of because it will have the latest and greatest info .. as long as there is an API and redundant .. I see no reason why not .. the AD could get it from MM4 then perhaps
[4/30/2018 1:43 PM] draco_the_drake
It would also need to store several other things, like groups ...
[4/30/2018 1:43 PM] draco_the_drake
The calendar depends on groups
[4/30/2018 1:45 PM] draco_the_drake
However, we might want a MM4 slave internal for the space, to auth everything local off of in case the internet blows up
[4/30/2018 1:46 PM] draco_the_drake
That is why I suggested a Auth Store of sorts .. it is why LDAP is great .. it is just AD/LDAP seems to be a pain
[4/30/2018 1:47 PM] clone1018
Right, I want to start storing committees and chairs, and officers of the organization

[4/30/2018 1:48 PM] draco_the_drake
hmmmm found this ... https://connect2id.com/products/json2ldap
[4/30/2018 1:49 PM] draco_the_drake
The problem with that one is Java
[4/30/2018 1:50 PM] draco_the_drake
But it looks like it is supported ... it isn't open source
[4/30/2018 1:55 PM] clone1018
I have no problem keeping ldap up to date
[4/30/2018 1:55 PM] clone1018
And I think that would be the goal
[4/30/2018 1:57 PM] draco_the_drake
I could write a JSON compatible auth plugin for it
[4/30/2018 1:58 PM] draco_the_drake
for cake
[4/30/2018 2:00 PM] clone1018
huh?
[4/30/2018 2:01 PM] draco_the_drake
I'm saying that if we want to get away from using LDAP for web apps, we could but still have LDAP as the backend. We can move webapps to a JSON authenication. I could write a CakePHP plugin for auth and user information retrieval.
[4/30/2018 2:03 PM] draco_the_drake
CakePHP is what the Calendar app is written on .. I believe MM4 is as well
[4/30/2018 2:03 PM] draco_the_drake
You could write a plugin for MediaWiki for auth from JSON
[4/30/2018 2:05 PM] draco_the_drake
I'm not certain if I am explaining the idea
[4/30/2018 2:05 PM] draco_the_drake
well
[4/30/2018 2:06 PM] clone1018
MM4 is written in Laravel
[4/30/2018 2:07 PM] clone1018
MakerManager as you know it is written in Cake
[4/30/2018 2:07 PM] clone1018
I'm working on a rewrite
[4/30/2018 2:07 PM] clone1018
So my long term schedule is: Finish current MM functionality. Move all billing systems that WHMCS handles into MM4. Calendar rewrite
{Reactions}
👍
[4/30/2018 2:08 PM] draco_the_drake
Ah ok .. the advantage is that future webapps don't have to go through the hassle of AD/LDAP for auth ..
[4/30/2018 2:09 PM] draco_the_drake
Alright, so some sort of easy API inside MM4 is what you are going for, for webapp auth?
[4/30/2018 2:12 PM] draco_the_drake
So, really I should hold off on Calendar features
[4/30/2018 2:12 PM] draco_the_drake
I was planning on making an RSS feed
[4/30/2018 2:14 PM] clone1018
I would still work on the current calendar
[4/30/2018 2:14 PM] clone1018
any changes are at least a year out
[4/30/2018 2:14 PM] clone1018
Right, I want to provide a simple API for authentication with our services
[4/30/2018 2:15 PM] draco_the_drake
Great 😃
[4/30/2018 2:15 PM] clone1018
starting with MediaWiki
[4/30/2018 2:16 PM] clone1018
I'm also going to convince the dallas php group to start meeting here
[4/30/2018 2:16 PM] clone1018
So we can get more programmers 😃
[4/30/2018 2:16 PM] clone1018
And maybe start teaching some classes
[4/30/2018 2:16 PM] draco_the_drake
That sounds great
[4/30/2018 2:17 PM] clone1018
We need as many people as possible working on our critical systems
[4/30/2018 2:18 PM] draco_the_drake
We can use GitHub for our feature & issue tracking as it seems to be readily avaliable
[4/30/2018 2:20 PM] clone1018
Yeah
[4/30/2018 2:20 PM] draco_the_drake
So as far as the API ... what should be avaliable? We might need to make a talk thread on this topic. I know username, display name, email, phone number and groups have to be 5 that we absolutely need.
[4/30/2018 2:21 PM] draco_the_drake
I think it would nice to have things like avatar and interests
[4/30/2018 2:22 PM] clone1018
Right, another point of login integration would be the talk forum
[4/30/2018 2:23 PM] draco_the_drake
That would have to be a different sort of integration. We need the public to be able to sign up for talk and not restrict it to just our members
[4/30/2018 2:23 PM] clone1018
right, with it's own complexities
[4/30/2018 2:23 PM] clone1018
account merging, etc
[4/30/2018 2:23 PM] draco_the_drake
*nods*
[4/30/2018 2:23 PM] clone1018
But yeah, tonight will just be basic username / password => true / false
[4/30/2018 2:24 PM] draco_the_drake
Also the public can sign up for calendar
[4/30/2018 2:24 PM] clone1018
They can register for classes, they cannot post classes
[4/30/2018 2:24 PM] draco_the_drake
I think
[4/30/2018 2:24 PM] draco_the_drake
right
[4/30/2018 2:24 PM] draco_the_drake
but do they have a login?
[4/30/2018 2:24 PM] clone1018
no
[4/30/2018 2:24 PM] clone1018
and it doesnt create one
[4/30/2018 2:24 PM] clone1018
afaik
[4/30/2018 2:25 PM] draco_the_drake
It would be nice to be able to track them ... so perhaps a sign-up process would be good .. sorta a talk/calendar public signup .. two for the price of one
[4/30/2018 2:25 PM] clone1018
You're just creating an unpaid DMS account 😃
[4/30/2018 2:26 PM] clone1018
Makes conversion easier
[4/30/2018 2:26 PM] draco_the_drake
with no rights until they sign up .. then it gets assigned member rights
[4/30/2018 2:26 PM] clone1018
Right
[4/30/2018 2:26 PM] clone1018
Tons of potential!
[4/30/2018 2:26 PM] draco_the_drake
yup

[4/30/2018 2:28 PM] clone1018
it does everything MM3 does and is backwards compatible, but it's lacking WHMCS integration
[4/30/2018 2:28 PM] draco_the_drake
*nods* I will take a look
[4/30/2018 2:29 PM] draco_the_drake
Also, there is a way to embed a talk thread on a external webpage like an event page
[4/30/2018 2:30 PM] draco_the_drake
but it doesn't allow you to post messages .. it takes you to the talk page. I believe
[4/30/2018 2:30 PM] clone1018
I have no idea
[4/30/2018 2:30 PM] draco_the_drake
It is something I researched .. I think it is already implmented
[4/30/2018 2:30 PM] draco_the_drake
as far as discourse
[4/30/2018 2:31 PM] draco_the_drake
It is something that I think would be awesome as many people already post to talk announcing their event
[4/30/2018 2:31 PM] draco_the_drake
to link the two
[4/30/2018 2:31 PM] draco_the_drake
just a potental feature
[4/30/2018 2:33 PM] draco_the_drake
So, you want to reimplementWHMCS into MM4 .. hmm
[4/30/2018 2:33 PM] draco_the_drake
It is basicily a shopping cart
[4/30/2018 2:34 PM] draco_the_drake
perhaps we could find an open source laravel shopping cart to base it from
[4/30/2018 2:34 PM] clone1018
I'd like to instead think of our primary membership as a subscription
[4/30/2018 2:34 PM] clone1018
Carts are more for dynamic items
[4/30/2018 2:34 PM] clone1018

[4/30/2018 2:35 PM] clone1018
Handles things like recurring charges, invoices, single charges, etc
[4/30/2018 2:35 PM] clone1018
I want to have direct control over billing so we can start potentially grouping consumable usage / storage into one monthly fee
[4/30/2018 2:35 PM] clone1018
To reduce processing costs
[4/30/2018 2:36 PM] draco_the_drake
*nods* I will look into it
[4/30/2018 2:36 PM] clone1018
Each time someone pays for the laser, it costs us 2.75%
[4/30/2018 2:36 PM] draco_the_drake
plus a processing fixed fee most likely
[4/30/2018 2:37 PM] clone1018
For square it's flat rate
[4/30/2018 2:37 PM] clone1018
But yeah
[4/30/2018 2:37 PM] draco_the_drake
ah ok.. so we wouldn't be charged a percent if we grouped the charges?
[4/30/2018 2:38 PM] clone1018
Hrm actually you're right
[4/30/2018 2:38 PM] draco_the_drake
For most companies micro-charges are a pain because of the fixed fee
[4/30/2018 2:39 PM] clone1018
Right, I didnt know square didnt have any fixed fee
[4/30/2018 2:39 PM] draco_the_drake
what is the current percent for our CC provider for membership?
[4/30/2018 2:39 PM] draco_the_drake
if it is less then perhaps it might be better
[4/30/2018 2:39 PM] clone1018
2.9% + $0.30 is stock authorize.net, not sure if we're at stock pricing or not
[4/30/2018 2:40 PM] draco_the_drake
The other thing you have to consider is the way they pay on the kiosks... isn't that all square?
[4/30/2018 2:40 PM] clone1018
Yeah
[4/30/2018 2:41 PM] draco_the_drake
Is the pad itself square? would those need to be replaced?
[4/30/2018 2:41 PM] clone1018
Yeah, removed ideally
[4/30/2018 2:41 PM] clone1018
Laser consumables would be charged automatically
[4/30/2018 2:41 PM] clone1018
This is all hypothetical of course
[4/30/2018 2:41 PM] draco_the_drake
sure .. I love brainstorming ideas
[4/30/2018 2:42 PM] clone1018
Stage 1 is just move recurring memberships over so we can have tighter integration of invoice paying, family accounts and discounted rate approval
[4/30/2018 2:42 PM] draco_the_drake
*nods*
[4/30/2018 2:43 PM] draco_the_drake
how many of those kiosks do we have/ need?
[4/30/2018 2:45 PM] clone1018
We have 4 for committtees
[4/30/2018 2:45 PM] clone1018
5 if you count PR
[4/30/2018 2:45 PM] clone1018
Woodshop, Metalshop, Laser, Creative Arts, PR
[4/30/2018 2:46 PM] draco_the_drake
Also, a seperate but potentally related idea ... what do you think about the idea of having the calendar also power the other classroom kiosks, the ones that are suppose to show what class is in the room and be able to sign in to one for accounting .. instead of a seperate app, just a webapp?
[4/30/2018 2:46 PM] draco_the_drake
Could any of these be used to pay for consumables... or if we replace them?
[4/30/2018 2:47 PM] draco_the_drake
Have it all integrated
[4/30/2018 2:47 PM] clone1018
Everyone loves the idea of kiosks in front of each classroom
[4/30/2018 2:47 PM] clone1018
showing the current class, and the schedule
[4/30/2018 2:48 PM] draco_the_drake
Yes .. it is something I want to work on doing ... however if we are wanting to replace the consumable kiosks... why not make them the same
[4/30/2018 2:48 PM] clone1018
I don't want any payment kiosks
[4/30/2018 2:48 PM] clone1018
I don't want any credit card processing done in house
[4/30/2018 2:49 PM] draco_the_drake
Ok, how do you propose people pay for things?
[4/30/2018 2:49 PM] draco_the_drake
I understand the laser one
[4/30/2018 2:49 PM] clone1018
You'd login with your RFID and click pay
[4/30/2018 2:49 PM] draco_the_drake
They could just mark down that they used X
[4/30/2018 2:49 PM] clone1018
and it would either charge you immediately or invoice it depending on what feels right
[4/30/2018 2:49 PM] draco_the_drake
ok .. then we are talking the same thign
[4/30/2018 2:50 PM] draco_the_drake
alright ... so the outside the classroom kiosks would work for that...
[4/30/2018 2:50 PM] clone1018
yeah
[4/30/2018 2:50 PM] draco_the_drake
That would save us some money on replacing the others ...
[4/30/2018 2:50 PM] draco_the_drake
and get everything integrated
[4/30/2018 2:50 PM] draco_the_drake
and potientally people could login and see their bill or charges
[4/30/2018 2:51 PM] clone1018
Yeah
[4/30/2018 2:51 PM] draco_the_drake
I like it
[4/30/2018 2:55 PM] draco_the_drake
Just brainstorming here .... the webpage would reset to a page from the calendar app and start there .. you could touch and swipe to see more of the current and upcoming classes for that room ... there would also be a "Pay" button somewhere easy .. that would hand off in some way to MM4 .. take the consumable info and hand back to the calendar app .. perhaps an IFRAME so the calendar app can detect no activity and reset itself back to the event screen
[4/30/2018 2:55 PM] clone1018
Yeah, I like making webapps instead of actual apps
[4/30/2018 2:55 PM] clone1018
and just hiding the browser UI
[4/30/2018 2:55 PM] draco_the_drake
me too
[4/30/2018 2:56 PM] draco_the_drake
This way it is easier to replace them in the future if something breaks
[4/30/2018 2:56 PM] draco_the_drake
anything should work
[4/30/2018 2:56 PM] draco_the_drake
except for the RFID .. I'm not certain how that integrates with a webapp
[4/30/2018 2:58 PM] clone1018
Ugly: input box Pretty: JS to listen for 10 integers and then submit
[4/30/2018 2:58 PM] draco_the_drake
Oh it comes in as a keyboard then
[4/30/2018 2:59 PM] clone1018
Yeah, the cheap ones are just keyboards
[4/30/2018 2:59 PM] draco_the_drake
if that is the case then no worries
[4/30/2018 3:03 PM] draco_the_drake
So, there will be no more cash .. or we already at a no cash system?
[4/30/2018 3:03 PM] clone1018
There's still cash
[4/30/2018 3:04 PM] clone1018
Cash is accounting nightmare
[4/30/2018 3:04 PM] draco_the_drake
Perhaps one of them could take cash? Then it would be assigned to the RFID tag
[4/30/2018 3:05 PM] draco_the_drake
That should help with accounting
[4/30/2018 3:06 PM] draco_the_drake
and everything should be counted and secured
[4/30/2018 3:07 PM] draco_the_drake
With a place with all volunteers, every bit of automation will help

[4/30/2018 4:22 PM] draco_the_drake
oh wow .. looks like the system died ... yup redunancy it is .. if one goes down everything else stays up
[4/30/2018 4:23 PM] draco_the_drake
For example, the kiosks should connect to the local mirror and if that is down then it goes to the internet as a backup ...
[4/30/2018 4:24 PM] draco_the_drake
So, MM4 and whatever is under it, should be completely replicatable elsewhere
[4/30/2018 4:25 PM] draco_the_drake
I'm sure laravel has a way to have a read database and a write database?
[4/30/2018 4:26 PM] draco_the_drake
then the two databases would slave
[4/30/2018 4:26 PM] draco_the_drake
one would be for writing and the other for read only
[4/30/2018 4:29 PM] draco_the_drake
The way some implmentations work is that it switches the user over to the write database for a short while, so the page can come back with all the correct information until the slave replicates in the background then after a timeout it switches back to doing all reads from the slave
[4/30/2018 4:29 PM] draco_the_drake
When I say database I mean database server
[4/30/2018 4:47 PM] draco_the_drake
In our case, if the internet was down, the kiosks would be in read-only mode or perhaps cache any consumables until the internet goes back up and can update the write database

so our databases servers are hosted on aws and about the only thing that went down was dc1 out of 3, both jump servers, the cameras, and API server. just about everything public facing is in AWS
[4/30/2018 4:50 PM] denzuko
oh dns at the space would be down too
[4/30/2018 4:51 PM] draco_the_drake
We have been talking about moving away from AD being the offical information source and instead it being MakerManager 4
[4/30/2018 4:51 PM] denzuko
that's handled via dc1
[4/30/2018 4:52 PM] denzuko
so how would that be synced with the desktop logins?
[4/30/2018 4:52 PM] denzuko
or anything else that requires ldap?
[4/30/2018 4:52 PM] draco_the_drake
It would have to update the AD/LDAP ...
[4/30/2018 4:52 PM] draco_the_drake
like it does other things
[4/30/2018 4:52 PM] draco_the_drake
with this, the webapps would have a non-complex way of getting auth
[4/30/2018 4:53 PM] draco_the_drake
right now it is a bit complicated
[4/30/2018 4:53 PM] draco_the_drake
Then MM4 would be replicated on-site
[4/30/2018 4:54 PM] draco_the_drake
and everything here would have at least two MM4 instances to auth from .. and we would build plugins and adapters that anyone can use
[4/30/2018 4:54 PM] draco_the_drake
anything from web frameworks to esps
[4/30/2018 4:56 PM] denzuko
would making mm4 be a jwt/oauth identity provider make that more simplified?
[4/30/2018 4:56 PM] draco_the_drake
I'm not sure what is going to be the simplist and most universal
[4/30/2018 4:57 PM] draco_the_drake
We want our c128 if we wish to auth from it haha
[4/30/2018 4:58 PM] draco_the_drake
I just know that AD is not the best choice
[4/30/2018 4:58 PM] denzuko
well jwt and oauth talks restful http so that is super universal
[4/30/2018 4:59 PM] draco_the_drake
It also needs to be able to get some custom user information
[4/30/2018 5:00 PM] draco_the_drake
like the groups/roles assigned
[4/30/2018 5:00 PM] draco_the_drake
phone number
[4/30/2018 5:00 PM] draco_the_drake
display name
[4/30/2018 5:00 PM] draco_the_drake
email
[4/30/2018 5:01 PM] denzuko
ldap on the other hand makes for a great distributed database for users, groups,and devices. we would just need to interface with it on one point and make that point as self service as possible
[4/30/2018 5:01 PM] draco_the_drake
I like LDAP .. I just don't like AD/LDAP
[4/30/2018 5:01 PM] denzuko
I know what you mean.
[4/30/2018 5:02 PM] draco_the_drake
LDAP is complex
[4/30/2018 5:02 PM] draco_the_drake
what key? what do I search for?
[4/30/2018 5:02 PM] draco_the_drake
where is it
[4/30/2018 5:02 PM] draco_the_drake
just give me the damn thing
[4/30/2018 5:02 PM] draco_the_drake
lol
[4/30/2018 5:04 PM] draco_the_drake
I know that Luke wants to store the committees in there
[4/30/2018 5:04 PM] denzuko
it's not really that complex just like vim just need to wrap one head around the schemas and conventions
[4/30/2018 5:04 PM] draco_the_drake
But can someone that is an embedded designer care to do that?
[4/30/2018 5:05 PM] draco_the_drake
they just want to know if someone is a member of a group or not
[4/30/2018 5:05 PM] denzuko
yep so that's where oauth comes in
[4/30/2018 5:05 PM] draco_the_drake
Well, alright .. it is something I will look into
[4/30/2018 5:06 PM] draco_the_drake

Should committee items be allowed for sale on the kiosks?
[4/30/2018 5:31 PM] draco_the_drake
I think it is something to consider
[4/30/2018 5:32 PM] denzuko
I don't see any reason why it's not feasible
[4/30/2018 5:33 PM] canibalcrab
personally i dont think we should confuse the kiosks with "merch" and "consumables"

@john a gorman neat link. Thank you for the throwback (Thursday; I know, it's a thing, rarely good; this is an exception!) Something you really miss with the emulator, though, is the thrill of running a fully functional GUI OS from a floppy disk (well, maybe a pair; I don't quite recall, to be honest). My now-wife, at the time, had a Mac when we hit college in 1991ish and used it for term papers and the like for several years. Though the tech was ancient at the time, it beat the hell out of having to use the typewriters most of us still had to use, or the 4-seat closet "computer lab" staffed by unpleasants.
[5/3/2018 7:43 AM] denzuko
ah.. the bofh types. I actually got a long with those guys in the early 90's when I hung out in the local community college computer lab. The director of the lab kept trying to get me to use the one and only Mac. But the rest of the guys and I had more fun playing with the ibm systems and windows nt 3.11. They help me get on the well and we had a blast playing doom together.

[5/3/2018 10:34 AM] denzuko
@Blackfire_tx how long is "a while"?
[5/3/2018 10:36 AM] denzuko
also, it looks like the archive only has xargon 1 : https://archive.org/search.php?query=Xargon
[5/3/2018 10:36 AM] denzuko

@Draco take a look at the bbs that I just turned back on - http://52.204.55.41
[5/3/2018 5:28 PM] blackfire_tx9040
Go for it. I had to look for a while to find 2 and 3. "A while" can be as long as VCC wants to display it or when I need them back. I did image the media using the dd command under linux. FYI it is floppies only. (no CDs)
[5/3/2018 5:37 PM] denzuko
smashing. oh for knowledge, doing a block level image of a storage device like that with `dd(1)` is an ISO. It's not just for CD-ROM images.
[5/3/2018 6:02 PM] blackfire_tx9040
meh... was just pointing it out.
[5/3/2018 6:41 PM] denzuko
no worries. either way. we'll get that on display shortly and work to have a dos system for playing as well
[5/3/2018 6:59 PM] draco_the_drake
I will have to check it out
[5/3/2018 7:00 PM] draco_the_drake
Question .. what can we do with the jump server? There is not much software installed on it. No GCC or even BZIP ..
[5/3/2018 7:00 PM] draco_the_drake
I'm talking the Linux ubuntu one
[5/3/2018 7:01 PM] draco_the_drake
It would be nice to install the build-essentials package
[5/3/2018 7:01 PM] draco_the_drake
Is there python?
[5/3/2018 7:02 PM] denzuko
I think that was by design. but just visit communitygrid.dms.local and login with your ad creds then launch a Ubuntu container.
[5/3/2018 7:02 PM] draco_the_drake
ah ok

Also, I can't seem to get into the opencast server anymore .. prlxocast01 @ 192.168.200.81 .. does it have winbind?
[5/3/2018 7:05 PM] draco_the_drake
or the AD things on it like it did before?
[5/3/2018 7:05 PM] draco_the_drake
I have the group priv for sudo on it
[5/3/2018 7:06 PM] draco_the_drake
Mark and I were wanting to work on it
[5/3/2018 7:06 PM] draco_the_drake
but couldn't get into it
[5/3/2018 7:07 PM] denzuko
dont know about that one. but let's screen share tonight once I get in. I'm in downtown at the moment and heading out to Plano so it's going to be about 8:30 when I can jump online
[5/3/2018 7:08 PM] draco_the_drake
k
[5/3/2018 8:29 PM] denzuko
I'm online.. let me look into the opencast server
[5/3/2018 8:40 PM] denzuko
@Draco prlxocast01 only seems to have ssh running. could you put in the issue ticket so I can go into it and reset the login
[5/3/2018 9:04 PM] draco_the_drake
doen
[5/3/2018 9:04 PM] draco_the_drake
done even
[5/3/2018 9:07 PM] denzuko
do you have a github account?
[5/3/2018 9:12 PM] denzuko
or a ssh pubkey I can install?
[5/3/2018 9:23 PM] draco_the_drake
I think getting it back working with AD is what we need
[5/3/2018 9:25 PM] draco_the_drake
if you need to wipe it and put ubuntu back on it.. that is fine as well .. as long it is LTS and at least 16
[5/3/2018 9:32 PM] denzuko
your account is still there its just that I'd rather copy your ssh pub key into the authorized_keys so you can go and set things up on your own
[5/3/2018 9:46 PM] draco_the_drake
Is there a standard way of setting these up .. I know there was .. for example the jump server works this way
[5/3/2018 9:47 PM] draco_the_drake
How would I go about fixing it?
[5/3/2018 9:47 PM] draco_the_drake
It should create the user when they first login
[5/3/2018 9:48 PM] draco_the_drake
and check to see if they are in the Opencast group and then allow sudo
[5/3/2018 9:48 PM] draco_the_drake
I know very little about doing that
[5/3/2018 9:48 PM] denzuko
was it already on the domain?
[5/3/2018 9:48 PM] draco_the_drake
yes
[5/3/2018 9:49 PM] denzuko
then it should still be and its just blocking logins because the filesystem needed scanning
[5/3/2018 9:49 PM] draco_the_drake
ah ok
[5/3/2018 9:49 PM] denzuko
let me finish the reboot and you can try it from there
[5/3/2018 9:50 PM] draco_the_drake
How do I get to the jump server from remote?
[5/3/2018 9:51 PM] draco_the_drake
linux jump server
[5/3/2018 9:51 PM] denzuko
`ssh -l draco -p 2222 physical.dallasmakerspace.org`
[5/3/2018 9:52 PM] draco_the_drake
ah port 2222
[5/3/2018 9:53 PM] denzuko
I do highly advise using something like `keychain(1)` to use ssh pubkey authentication but its not a requirement
[5/3/2018 9:53 PM] draco_the_drake
*nods* .. ok it let me in
[5/3/2018 9:53 PM] draco_the_drake
thanks .. resolved

[5/3/2018 10:00 PM] draco_the_drake
yes
[5/3/2018 10:01 PM] denzuko
right, so its asking for your password. did you try resetting that?
[5/3/2018 10:01 PM] draco_the_drake
should it not pull it from AD?
[5/3/2018 10:02 PM] draco_the_drake
it wants my current password .. I never used one
[5/3/2018 10:02 PM] draco_the_drake
or it wants my old old old password which I have no idea
[5/3/2018 10:02 PM] denzuko
either case go a head and run passwd

[5/3/2018 10:13 PM] draco_the_drake
what password do I use?
[5/3/2018 10:14 PM] denzuko
there shouldn't be a password
[5/3/2018 10:14 PM] draco_the_drake
there is .. there always is for sudo
[5/3/2018 10:15 PM] draco_the_drake
at least the first time within the timeout
[5/3/2018 10:16 PM] denzuko
I'm being an pfy
[5/3/2018 10:16 PM] denzuko
just needed to reconfigure sudo try it now
[5/3/2018 10:17 PM] draco_the_drake
same .. still asks for a password as it should
[5/3/2018 10:17 PM] draco_the_drake
I logged out and back in again too
[5/3/2018 10:18 PM] draco_the_drake
it doesn't ask for a password for me to login from jump
[5/3/2018 10:20 PM] draco_the_drake
What are we using for AD auth?
[5/3/2018 10:21 PM] denzuko
centrify
[5/3/2018 10:21 PM] denzuko
which is totally not needed
[5/3/2018 10:21 PM] denzuko
I've ran domains with samba, krb5, and ldap just fine and not needed a third party tool which uses those same packages anyways
[5/3/2018 10:22 PM] denzuko
right, try login out and back in
[5/3/2018 10:22 PM] draco_the_drake
ok .. it doesn't ask for a password
[5/3/2018 10:22 PM] draco_the_drake
are we using the AD group?
[5/3/2018 10:23 PM] denzuko
yeah
[5/3/2018 10:24 PM] denzuko
good to go?
[5/3/2018 10:24 PM] draco_the_drake
For now .. yup .. the reason I ask is because mark will need to login as well with sudo rights
[5/3/2018 10:24 PM] draco_the_drake
and perhaps others .. AD groups are just easyer
[5/3/2018 10:24 PM] draco_the_drake
easier
[5/3/2018 10:25 PM] denzuko
make sure they're in the linux_admin group in ad then
[5/3/2018 10:25 PM] draco_the_drake
is this on in a vm or on a machine
[5/3/2018 10:27 PM] draco_the_drake
This looks like the VM
[5/3/2018 10:27 PM] draco_the_drake
Which machine is the actual server
[5/3/2018 10:27 PM] draco_the_drake
is it PRLXOCAST02 ?
[5/3/2018 10:28 PM] denzuko
vm on vmh-7
[5/3/2018 10:30 PM] denzuko
I don't even see a PRLXOCAST02

when I get back to the office I'll remote in and see what happen to that 12 core unit
[5/4/2018 9:13 AM] denzuko
there's an opencast2 system on the network but not sure if that's the one your referring to. it has an IP of 192.168.202.60 and runs ssh, vnc, samba.
[5/4/2018 10:55 AM] draco_the_drake
Yes that is in the lecture hall .. that is not the server
[5/4/2018 10:56 AM] draco_the_drake
The server may be unplugged in the server room

Did you see my PM ... perhaps you can check the ticket?

Might make an arduino sensor for detecting if a bathroom is in use or not
[5/6/2018 1:02 PM] clone1018
based on the door latch
[5/6/2018 6:51 PM] draco_the_drake
@LukeStrickland .. you could do that but we have two sets of restrooms....
I think it might be better to just get the urnal fixed .. what is the status of that anyway?
[5/6/2018 10:20 PM] denzuko
@Draco last I heard the urinal was ordered, but @StanSimmons knows the details
[5/6/2018 10:21 PM] draco_the_drake
Last I heard from an unoffical source that the plumber disappeared
[5/6/2018 10:38 PM] clone1018
For the unisex
[5/6/2018 11:01 PM] draco_the_drake
Ah, an arduino sensor for the unisex bathroom? How would it present itself to the world or tell you the status?

[5/6/2018 11:05 PM] draco_the_drake
It is $10 and has WIFI
[5/6/2018 11:09 PM] canibalcrab
Seems like overkill
[5/7/2018 1:04 AM] draco_the_drake
How much would the arduino and wifi/network shield cost? I am betting quite a bit more than $10
[5/7/2018 1:05 AM] canibalcrab
it doesnt need wifi
[5/7/2018 1:05 AM] draco_the_drake
It needs some way to communicate out into the shop area
[5/7/2018 1:05 AM] canibalcrab
just light a sign on the other side of the door
[5/7/2018 1:05 AM] draco_the_drake
Then you don't need an arduino
[5/7/2018 1:06 AM] canibalcrab
but even so, running a small linux pc to light a sign still seems like overkill
[5/7/2018 1:07 AM] draco_the_drake
That is what is happening everywhere .. it does seem so but as prices fall this is what happens. It becomes the cheaper alternative to do it with all the things that were expensive many years ago
[5/7/2018 2:26 AM] denzuko
if we want to talk prices, well the esp8266 has built-in wifi, works with the arduino ide/libraries, and can control relay switches via gpios while talking "iot". All for the low price of $2 + s&h.
I actually can see these guys being used for iBeacons around the space and since they're such low powered devices using only a battery to power them. From there the iBeacons can direct members to the location of things via an alexa skill.
[5/7/2018 3:36 AM] draco_the_drake
That is true about the esp8266 but they are harder to program and if you want a web interface or push notifications to when the bathroom is avaliable then you will need some sort of server for it to connect to ...
[5/7/2018 3:37 AM] denzuko
which isn't that hard to do
[5/7/2018 3:38 AM] draco_the_drake
True it isn't but with the Pi Zero W you wouldn't need it for $8 more
[5/7/2018 3:39 AM] draco_the_drake
I mean if we are going with a bunch of these .. the esp might be the way to go .. and have them all connect to the main server
[5/7/2018 3:40 AM] denzuko
yep.

Bluetooth Low Energy is also included
[5/7/2018 3:44 AM] denzuko
ok I can understand if one was to run power, ethernet, and usb over the hdmi or even a serial port and maybe configured with a gui from rdp
[5/7/2018 3:44 AM] draco_the_drake
It is the price that I like $10
[5/7/2018 3:45 AM] draco_the_drake
I really can't beat it
[5/7/2018 3:46 AM] denzuko
ok sure, nicely priced but esp8266 does the job for a tenth of that and yes, one can flash nodemcu onto it so its programmed via javascript
[5/7/2018 3:48 AM] draco_the_drake
It all depends on what you are doing. I suppose .. I mean if you need the power, storage or web server then the pi .. if you just need a sensor or control something remotely ... the esp would work great
[5/7/2018 3:49 AM] denzuko
exactly its just about the right tool for the right job

well feedly seems to handle both atom and rss feeds just fine 😃
[5/9/2018 3:18 PM] denzuko
we may have to setup a load balancer or vm instance in aws then spin a docker container with the new changes that way you'll have access to the ldap and sql databases
[5/9/2018 3:18 PM] draco_the_drake
I'm not really needing ldap .. the sql should be avaliable remotely

[5/9/2018 3:20 PM] draco_the_drake
It is very temporary
[5/9/2018 3:20 PM] draco_the_drake
but perhaps it might be better to setup something for future development

I would hate to go live and have it break and not be able to fix it quickly
[5/9/2018 3:21 PM] denzuko
yeah, I get what your saying about testing. I'm one for using clones of each environment for testing. But isn't the calendar using ldap for authentication?
[5/9/2018 3:21 PM] draco_the_drake
Not on my site
[5/9/2018 3:21 PM] draco_the_drake
it is using a static set of users
[5/9/2018 3:22 PM] draco_the_drake
This way, I can login as Calendar Admin or Honorarium Admin .. or whatever
[5/9/2018 3:22 PM] draco_the_drake
without having rights to really do tht
[5/9/2018 3:22 PM] draco_the_drake
that

understandable
[5/9/2018 3:27 PM] clone1018
I have a calendar-test app setup on the existing server
[5/9/2018 3:27 PM] clone1018
but it uses production read data

ok, I think one of the goals that I need to meet for you guys is to make sure the community grid is setup in production and to hold a short intro class for how to use it.

Here is a free web control panel for shared hosting.. it handles creating the account, setting up web, dns, databases, emails and ftp .. https://www.virtualmin.com/
[5/12/2018 11:05 PM] draco_the_drake
It also has a way to create accounts from a console command line or script

and web mail plus auto installers
[5/12/2018 11:08 PM] draco_the_drake
They also have Cloudmin for creating VPSes like Virtualmin is for shared hosting

it's not?
[5/12/2018 11:12 PM] denzuko
search for Ubuntu desktop on docker hub
[5/12/2018 11:14 PM] draco_the_drake
Yes ok .. you can run a VPS like container .. that is nice .. however, I'm going for more a shared hosting type thing where you don't have to admin everything and you can just create whatever domain you want over your own assigned base domain name ..
[5/12/2018 11:15 PM] draco_the_drake
and start coding inside it ... it takes up dramaticly less space to do shared hosting
[5/12/2018 11:15 PM] draco_the_drake
I'm not saying not to continue docker
[5/12/2018 11:15 PM] draco_the_drake
I think it is great too
[5/12/2018 11:15 PM] denzuko
that's exactly how the community grid is already set up
[5/12/2018 11:15 PM] draco_the_drake
it may be the VPS offering
[5/12/2018 11:16 PM] denzuko
you know of bsd jails right?
[5/12/2018 11:17 PM] draco_the_drake
ok, so I can go somewhere, right now and get to a control panel that I can easily create a new domain name and database for my PHP app that is accessable from computers around the space? then ssh into it and start coding?
[5/12/2018 11:17 PM] denzuko
yes!
[5/12/2018 11:17 PM] draco_the_drake
Great.. what is the web address?
[5/12/2018 11:18 PM] denzuko
apps.communitygrid.dms.local
[5/12/2018 11:18 PM] draco_the_drake
and how do I setup a domain name?
[5/12/2018 11:18 PM] denzuko
ping me the domain name or do a cname to that url above
[5/12/2018 11:18 PM] draco_the_drake
no .. I want to setup as I please
[5/12/2018 11:18 PM] draco_the_drake
like I described
[5/12/2018 11:19 PM] denzuko
I really think we need to go over how the community grid works and get you to start playing around with it
[5/12/2018 11:19 PM] draco_the_drake
basicly it would come down to creating an NS record in the AD nameserver to point .. say... devdms.local to a different managed nameserver for our users
[5/12/2018 11:20 PM] draco_the_drake
Then when they create their base account .. they would get .. username.devdms.local
[5/12/2018 11:20 PM] draco_the_drake
and anything above that can be user created
[5/12/2018 11:21 PM] draco_the_drake
so they might create a new calendar app .. it could be called calendar.username.devdms.local
[5/12/2018 11:21 PM] draco_the_drake
mine might be calendar.draco.devdms.local
[5/12/2018 11:21 PM] draco_the_drake
yours might be calendar.denzuko.devdms.local
[5/12/2018 11:22 PM] draco_the_drake
but the "calendar" part should be creatable in the users control panel
[5/12/2018 11:23 PM] draco_the_drake
I think we are talking about two different things here
[5/12/2018 11:23 PM] draco_the_drake
what I am talking about is shared hosting ... you are talking about docker
[5/12/2018 11:23 PM] draco_the_drake
they both can co-exist
[5/12/2018 11:23 PM] draco_the_drake
and have different purposes
[5/12/2018 11:25 PM] draco_the_drake
The way Virtualmin creates things is that it creates a base user directory .. say denzuko .. under that you have public_html .. and points it to denzuko.devdms.local ... then I can go into a virtualmin control panel and create a sub server .. it would create a new folder under the home directory called domains .. inside would be the subdomain/public_html ..
[5/12/2018 11:25 PM] draco_the_drake
and that would automaticly point to the subdomain
[5/12/2018 11:26 PM] draco_the_drake
then I can just upload files or do whatever I wanted inside my home directory
[5/12/2018 11:26 PM] draco_the_drake
it also keeps the logs and my personal config files in my home directory as well
[5/12/2018 11:26 PM] draco_the_drake
it is a pretty nice setup for doing shared hosting
[5/12/2018 11:27 PM] draco_the_drake
but as I said before it is different than docker and I don't think docker can replace the ease at which this can be setup and used
[5/12/2018 11:27 PM] draco_the_drake
but I could be wrong

Why do we need to git push first before git pull?
I have both local changes and remote changes.
Someone told me I must do push first, then pull. Any reason behind this?

[12/22/2018 7:05 PM] timooni
i was following a book guide to set up my home networking lab, and i'm not letting my failed studying for the mcsa go to waste, so i was using hyper-v on windows 10
[12/22/2018 7:05 PM] timooni
i used to like hyper-v
[12/22/2018 7:05 PM] timooni
but now i'm thinking it's kinda garbage
[12/22/2018 7:05 PM] timooni
especially since there are barely any integration with debian
[12/22/2018 7:05 PM] timooni
it's so slow
[12/22/2018 7:06 PM] timooni
i have kali, centos, win10, winserv2016, winembed8.1, and raspbian connected to one external virtual switch in hyper-v
[12/22/2018 7:07 PM] timooni
currently my dns sinkhole server (pihole) is running on the raspbian machine and that's what everyone on my network uses for dns
[12/22/2018 7:09 PM] timooni
the thing is, i have about had it with this terrible lack of integration / gpu acceleration, low framerate, numpad wacking out, all that jazz, and I kinda want to go back to vmware workstation, but I have this procrastinaty dread because I don't want to set up the drivers for the virtual NICs again and clean up the old ones and reinstall everything / migrate it somehow and yadda yadda
[12/22/2018 7:11 PM] timooni
anyway, do y'all know if it's even worth it? Is vmware better than hyper-v? Is there some sort of integration software I could install on kali to force it to play nice with hyper-v? I know they have optimized versions specifically for vmware and virtualbox, but not hyper-v...

[5/24/2019 1:13 PM] mizgeek
@denzuko-at-work Its been a few decades... Im not sure if it was Major BBS or Wildcat. I do remember it was heavily modded. It was a huge BBS, we were on Sally Rafael, Good Morning America, Donahue among others. We did a huge meetup in Vegas one year plus weekly ones in Los Angeles . It was a great ride until the IRS seized it because the owner bought cocaine rather than forward withholded taxes. 😮

There are ways to have multiple telnet connections to different instances
[5/24/2019 8:42 PM] draco_the_drake
perhaps we can write a script to launch one on connect .. or have a pool of them
[5/29/2019 5:27 PM] denzukoatwork2317
if we're talking dos boards then one just needs a fossil driver that supports telnet then setup each virtual com port as a seperate line.
[5/29/2019 5:28 PM] denzukoatwork2317
most modern boards (mystic, syncronet, wwvii, etc..) already support something like this built in though so its a bit redundant.

#localhost!sh$
echo "Hello World"$
```
$ uux localhost!test.sh
[6/19/2019 12:48 PM] denzukoatwork2317
As an example, the following command makes UUCP copy the file test.sh to localhost then execute it
[6/19/2019 12:51 PM] denzukoatwork2317
SYSV5 Unix did things like this before anyone had ssh, rlogin(which was another part of uucp along with rmail/rnews/rexec), or tcp/ip
[6/19/2019 12:52 PM] denzukoatwork2317

[6/19/2019 12:55 PM] denzukoatwork2317
oh and mystery of the she-bang solved. its a uucp path minus the hostname
[6/19/2019 12:58 PM] denzukoatwork2317
@Draco yep and its very ssh centric. if one wanted that then.. `pip install ansible; ansible -c 'uptime && rm -rf /var/log $RHOST'`
[6/19/2019 1:01 PM] denzukoatwork2317
not saying either is better or worse just that some systems don't need a tcp/ip stack and that's where uucp works best; being an agnostic way to transfer files/data and execute programs
[6/19/2019 1:03 PM] denzukoatwork2317
heck, since uucp can do stdio unix pipes as its transport medium then one can use mqtt, http/webdav, openssl or unix domain sockets
[6/19/2019 1:03 PM] denzukoatwork2317
bet one couldn't say that about ssh?

Ok other than say qbasic, turbo pascal, turbo c, and L.O.R.D. what other software would we want to see from the DOS era?
[6/26/2019 7:02 PM] doug.emes
Hmmm, star control?
Actually, how about wendel Hickens's
SCORCHED EARTH
[6/27/2019 9:38 AM] denzukoatwork2317
Scorched earth!? yes! I remember getting a copy of that from one Amondo r. the security guard for the apartments I was living in doing the mid 90's. He was a complete computer geek and kind of like our Stan in personality. Think I still have a copy in my library.
[6/27/2019 9:40 AM] denzukoatwork2317
as for star control... looks like we can get 1-3 for about 30.68.
[6/27/2019 9:40 AM] denzukoatwork2317
if someone puts up a class for vcc I'll go order a copy of star control

@MizGeek mind if I ask a favor?
[6/27/2019 10:25 AM] denzukoatwork2317
Since I'm updating a few menus on the bbs and your an sysop there. Could you go though and try out things then let me know how easy it is to navigate or if there's any areas we need to fix
[6/27/2019 12:11 PM] doug.emes
I own star controls on good ole games

@denzuko-at-work This week I'm in the hell we call A-kon. Wayne does the lighting for one of the biggest anime conventions. Been doing it for 20 years. It's chaos and a lot of work. I run errands and control access badges for the lighting crew. This is the first time it has been at Fair Park. Tonight when I get back to hotel, I will try otherwise tomorrow night. 🙂
[6/27/2019 1:11 PM] mizgeek
At least we have decent WiFi at the hotel.

hey what was the project for quakecon again? it was a raspberry pi cluster? running doom? is that multiplayer? what will the display screens look like?
[7/1/2019 2:30 PM] denzukoatwork2317
@SackOvRats (Brenly) for the quakecon project we'd need to come together as a committee to wrap that up, lots of 3d printing to do. As for display screens are we talking for the quakecon event or the ansi art project?

QuakeCon 2019 - Year of Doom and Docker containers?!
Found a few extra resources for this project: Software side Zandronum Zandronum brings classic Doom into the 21st century, maintaining the essence of what has made Doom great for so many years and, at the same time, adding … Hardware side of things
[7/3/2019 6:25 AM] dinkbatt
I am still not fully clear on what the project is after reading that thread. i'm ~starting to get it but it is still a tiny bit abstract. so the monitor for this doom case project will show a game of DOOM being played but each demon will instead be the names of each pi in the cluster?
at that rate, wouldn't it be more appropriate to print the pi cluster cases with more style than just a box? especially if it is going to be in a clear shell Can you send me the 3d file?
what would each raspberry pi do? Just sit there holding a network identify? i think it'd be cooler if the raspberry pis were ~doing something and then were forced to stop doing the thing when they were terminated. i've alreay got a few ideas for that
[7/3/2019 9:13 AM] denzukoatwork2317

other than the CPU and mobo it's all factory sealed new parts so im suspecting the board or cpu

Factory sealed new has failed me before. I distrust them all. Especially if it came from Fryes

hey denzuko, I mentioned this to you before - Capital factory (Tech Incubator) and Rainbow vomit (immersive art exhibit down by fair park) both have phone booths which they are open to putting Phreaker devices into. I'd love to personally fund these if you get me a list of what you need and if it sounds like a cool project to you. Would absolutely love to publicize this or connect it to any VCC initiatives if you want that as well. Don't be afraid to say no, I know we're busy around here!

the only downside one can think of is that CPU series is vulnerable to Meltdown, Spectre and Spectre derivative attacks.

AAPL has presumably always been aware of the risks of relying on powerful vendors for critical components
[8/2/2019 12:58 PM] nullinterface
of the 3 major suppliers in the PC game - MSFT, intel, and the PC OEM - 2 have historically made great margins while the third made subsistence wages
[8/2/2019 12:59 PM] nullinterface
AAPL might have subsumed MSFT in that triangle but is not keen to deal with a powerful adversary like intel

now if ARM can reach per-*core* performance parity with intel that will be interesting since parallelizing workloads has always been a challenge

their dual quad core version are more famously used in the Tegra X1 SoC chipset. which also includes a 256 core GPU
[8/2/2019 1:08 PM] denzukoatwork2317
sure I'll give you that yes these are all just names and most of the benchmarks one finds are focused on gpu performance than cpu. but we're entering into an era where ram is both storage and block device and gpus out pace cpus
[8/2/2019 1:10 PM] nullinterface
and yet GPUs aren't outright replacing CPUs
[8/2/2019 1:11 PM] nullinterface
last I read on the offerings from traditional GPU vendors they're talking *thousands* of cores
[8/2/2019 1:17 PM] denzuko
Of course. A computer has a lot more to do then cruch trillions of numbers. Heck at one time pcs needed a co processor just for math and then one just for direct memory access.
[8/2/2019 1:19 PM] denzuko
No way we're ever going to have one chip replace the others 100% but at some point if there's an improvement it gets intergrated into a smaller package
[8/2/2019 2:01 PM] nullinterface
curious if we'll see something like the d-wave as a more widely-spread accessory processor ala GPUs

What is the official name of this committee? October 19, 2018 @Denzuko.sdf.org changed the name on the wiki's category tag to "Computer Committee" but elsewhere it's still called "VCC". Asking for financial forms.
[8/16/2019 2:14 PM] stephenie.
And can't find minutes renaming Committee.
[8/16/2019 2:26 PM] hon1nbo
may have something to do with SDC not being active?
[8/16/2019 2:26 PM] hon1nbo
I don't recall what happened formally, if anything, but there is no chair of SDC and they aren't active
[8/16/2019 3:25 PM] draco_the_drake
I am the vice chair of SDC and we are having a meeting coming up
[8/16/2019 3:29 PM] yashsedai

[8/16/2019 3:30 PM] denzukoatwork2317
@stephenie its officially VCC computer committee but if one is looking up in quick books they have us as 'vintage' never have gotten much motion to have it updated properly since the committee was started. but VCC has been short for VCC Computer Committee so which ever works for you.
[8/16/2019 4:11 PM] hon1nbo
@Draco where are minutes of this? You're still listed as a vice chair, the listed chair isn't a member when we checked, and there aren't minutes of anything recent (latest was in 2018), and there isn't even a role of chair listed
[8/16/2019 4:12 PM] hon1nbo
Correction, one meeting in 2019... To elect the chair that isn't around anymore
[8/16/2019 4:12 PM] hon1nbo
There are no minutes electing you as a chair I can find.

[8/22/2019 5:00 PM] doug.emes
Fyi per the meeting last night, I spoke with the ADM, and informed him I would be documenting / collecting the processes he manually executes. He was happy to hear it.
[8/22/2019 5:05 PM] draco_the_drake
Thanks @doug.emes
[8/22/2019 5:07 PM] draco_the_drake
Does anyone know of a software where you can build a form and have it execute a query based on the form? Basically, you can setup a series of queries that someone can just click to run and/or fill a form out and run.
[8/22/2019 5:08 PM] draco_the_drake
Something can be written to do this but I'm wondering if there isn't something out there already that is GUI or Web
[8/22/2019 5:08 PM] draco_the_drake
Perhaps something with LDAP user permissions
[8/22/2019 5:27 PM] jediclick
We should discuss security as well. We will want to inspect that sql before passing it. Want to voice chat about the process?
[8/22/2019 5:42 PM] draco_the_drake
I think the idea is that the user wouldn't need access to the SQL but it could be designed in the GUI by the admin
[8/22/2019 5:43 PM] draco_the_drake
For example, there could be query for the number of members
[8/22/2019 5:43 PM] draco_the_drake
or a voting members list
[8/22/2019 5:43 PM] draco_the_drake
or one that fixes a badge problem
[8/22/2019 5:43 PM] draco_the_drake
and you could hand out rights to different people based upon their AD group
[8/22/2019 5:45 PM] draco_the_drake
It would also be cool if there was an API for it
[8/22/2019 5:45 PM] draco_the_drake
Only the admins would get arbitrary SQL access
[8/22/2019 5:45 PM] draco_the_drake
or it could be by database as well
[8/22/2019 5:46 PM] draco_the_drake
I think it could be a very useful open source project
[8/22/2019 5:51 PM] draco_the_drake
Version 2 might have running of scripts and scheduled tasks
[8/22/2019 5:56 PM] jediclick
I'm probably making some wrong assumptions about what the fix will do since we don't have the details from dougemes yet. I've been assuming that a name would need to be input.
[8/22/2019 6:17 PM] denzuko
openfaas function which runs the bash script. Only need to sanitize inputs of any. but this is solution crafting where a process or problem is not defined. For all we know it just takes a fork and some banging on a keyboard to get to work
[8/22/2019 6:19 PM] denzuko
if its that simple we could just pay a monkey in bananas to do that
Hopefully we get my point here
[8/22/2019 6:30 PM] draco_the_drake
I am describing a project that might could do the badge problem but really is a separate project for general use. You are correct that we need to wait on the badge issue from Stan. I'm just thinking it would be a cool thing to have
[8/22/2019 11:05 PM] kevpat
KISS & Laser focus. Don't make it to fix every possible future thing. Just fix that one button's action on that one web page in that one website. It's triage not long term goals.
[8/22/2019 11:54 PM] draco_the_drake
I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it ...
[8/22/2019 11:56 PM] draco_the_drake
because ya'll are applying it to the maker manager issue
[8/23/2019 2:10 AM] hon1nbo
@Draco security for sql isn't just about who can craft a query. It's about sanitizing any and all user interaction before a query is execute, even indirect parameters.
[8/23/2019 5:39 AM] draco_the_drake
Of course it is
[8/23/2019 5:40 AM] draco_the_drake
Yes you are correct
[8/23/2019 5:40 AM] draco_the_drake
In this software, I'm considering not allowing SQL

[8/23/2019 8:56 AM] draco_the_drake
@denzuko-at-work Here is the proposed board agenda item
```
===Merge VCC and Software Development Committees (Mike Cole [Draco], Dwight Spenser, et al)===
'''Problem''': We have two committees that overlap in purpose and would be better served to be merged into one committee. The committees have jointly voted to merge and have voted upon a name.
'''Solution''': Merge VCC and Software Development Committee into one committee and name the committee “Hackerspace.” All funds, equipment and resources from both committees shall be merged. Direct committee to hold a vote for a new chair.
Brief Purpose: In the Hackerspace you learn how to create software and hack hardware.
'''Relevance''': N/A. No additional funds required.
```
[8/23/2019 8:57 AM] yashsedai
So what maker manager problem are you trying to solve?
[8/23/2019 8:59 AM] draco_the_drake
There is an issue with maker manager that it is not allowing badges to be imported correctly from Smartwaiver. Stan has been doing much of it manually for some time. What was proposed was an automated band-aid fix, basically doing what Stan has been doing until we can fix Maker Manager.
[8/23/2019 9:06 AM] denzuko
New minutes or sdc minutes added to vcc meeting minutes? Formality here matters. Its still two committees until the board weights in on the matter.
[8/23/2019 9:07 AM] draco_the_drake
Software Development is redirecting to VCC on the Wiki for some reason
[8/23/2019 9:07 AM] draco_the_drake
I put it as a joint committee meeting
[8/23/2019 9:07 AM] draco_the_drake

Certainly ... it is strange, you search "Software Development" and you get Computer Committee .. but there is a "Software Development Committee" page as well ... but at the bottom there is a whole lot of "Computer Committee" minutes

Oh well ... it is on both categories and the page says joint committee meetings linking to both calendar pages

It is using old code ... I had to upgrade all of them when I redid the calendar
[8/23/2019 9:18 AM] draco_the_drake
It is most likely using an old Smartwaiver library

This may be a dumb question but is this "garage sale" being coordinated with any other committees that want to do the same thing? It would make sense to have multiple groups sell things at the same time and ideally we could funnel all of the non-member foot traffic to the same area.

in theory they can be done, as long as we show they are open to the public and publicized
[8/23/2019 2:32 PM] aceat64
the issue would be selling stuff to "insiders" (read: DMS members) at or below cost, since that falls under stuff like private benefit, excess benefit, etc

meh, not a fan of the type c but at least they're trying to make these issues less of a thing

I've had fewer issues with type C than A and all the variants of B

I do however wish USB-PD would become **A Thing™** a great deal faster
[9/6/2019 1:12 PM] nullinterface
especially if Leviton et al could figure out how to bake 100W USB-PD into the footprint of a standard duplex outlet
[9/6/2019 1:14 PM] nullinterface
to the extent I've had issues with type C they've been the same as micro B - pocket lint accumulates in them on a ~quarterly basis and requires a specialized tool (such as a SIM eject tool) to remove

I need a short description of the Hackerspace for the talk category
[9/20/2019 3:27 PM] denzuko
Though we decided to rename the categories we already have
[9/20/2019 3:31 PM] draco_the_drake
We are ..... but I don't think we ever discussed the description, we skipped over it ...
The current VCC description is
```
The VCC Category is for discussion of governance of the VCC Committee, Case Modding, Data Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, PC Computers, Computer Projects, Civic Hacking, and Information Security.
```
[9/20/2019 3:32 PM] draco_the_drake
I think we can do better
[9/20/2019 3:33 PM] denzuko
Gets to the point and informative but what would the community suggest?
[9/20/2019 3:34 PM] draco_the_drake
The brief description we came up with was "In the Hackerspace you learn how to create software and hack hardware." Perhaps we should expand on that
[9/20/2019 3:37 PM] draco_the_drake
I also found this interesting but this might apply to the whole space rather than our committee.
```
Hackerspaces are widely defined on hackerspaces.org as “community-operated physical places, where people can meet and work on their projects”. The exact functioning of the space varies from place to place and is determined by its members and while there is no blueprint or set of guidelines to create a hackerspace, they generally follow a “hacker ethic”, which “include freedom, in the sense of autonomy as well as of free access and circulation of information; distrust of authority, that is, opposing the traditional, industrial top-down style of organization; embracing the concept of learning by doing and peer-to-peer learning processes as opposed to formal modes of learning; sharing, solidarity and cooperation” (Kostakis, Niaros, & Giotitsas, 2014).
```

ok are we trying to break away into a new hackerspace or something? we're a committee of dms and should keep that in mind
[9/20/2019 3:43 PM] draco_the_drake
No .. but I'm trying to define hacking for people and I ran across that interesting little blurb
[9/20/2019 3:44 PM] draco_the_drake
I think the following is much closer to what we are doing ... "In the Hackerspace you learn how to create software and hack hardware."
[9/20/2019 3:44 PM] draco_the_drake
Do you know of a good definition of hacking?

[9/20/2019 3:48 PM] denzuko
The hacker mind-set is not confined to this software-hacker culture. There are people who apply the hacker attitude to other things, like electronics or music — actually, you can find it at the highest levels of any science or art.
[9/20/2019 3:48 PM] draco_the_drake

So taking those onto account hacking can be taking valves of water and building a turing machine with it then working out a lambda engine with colors or particles to build a steam punk compiler

[10/1/2019 7:02 AM] james_david_vance
Let's talk about the constraints and the judging criteria for the Hackathon.
Here's what I'm thinking:
The kit comes with:
1 x Grove pi+
1 x Grove - Temperature and Humidity
1 x Grove - Relay
1 x Grove - Ultrasonic Ranger (distance sensor good for a couple feet)
1 x Grove - LCD RGB backlight display
1 x Grove - Buzzer
1 x GrovePi+ Guidebook
10 x Cables
1 x Grove - Sound sensor (not sure if mic or just sound level)
1 x Grove - Light sensor
1 x Grove - Button
1 x Grove - Rotary Angle Sensor (it's just a potentiometer)
1 x Grove - Red LED
1 x Grove - Blue LED
1 x Grove - Green LED
So the sensors included are sound, light, temperature + humidity, distance.
I'm thinking we simply say that you have to use at least one of those four sensors. And you can add whatever you want. Then we can use basically the same criteria as the Brother hackathon: originality, usefulness/market value, and completeness. They also had one about design aethetics that I want to exclude. I don't think people winning by having more money will be an issue, since money can't get you a more original, useful, or complete idea.
What I'm pretty set on is that we're going to give contestants a lot of time, at least a month of advance notice and have them produce a 3 minute video and then just have one or two days (depending on funding) to go through the videos and have some judges rank them.
I think it might be good to have some categories for prizes, like maybe we have a prize and award for the best project that uses the temperature and humidity, or a prize for a project that uses all four sensors, something like that.
[10/3/2019 11:47 AM] denzukoatwork2317
Have we even remotely picked a theme?
[10/3/2019 11:47 AM] denzukoatwork2317
maybe something eco or civic or solves an issue that the makerspace has run into (not fixing things at the space just as a model for a theme)?
[10/3/2019 11:48 AM] denzukoatwork2317
maybe even something robotic?
[10/3/2019 11:56 AM] james_david_vance
To be clear, we don't have to pick a theme. We have to pick constraints and judging criteria.
[10/3/2019 12:06 PM] denzukoatwork2317
picking a theme is part of constraints and helps sets expectations with participants
[10/3/2019 12:06 PM] denzukoatwork2317
plus it focuses the marketing and promotional work.

If I understand what you mean by theme, then picking a theme is not required. It doesn't help set expectations with the participants compared to the alternative.

[10/3/2019 4:16 PM] denzukoatwork2317
as for the theme, without one what are we going to tell the participates. Here's the hardware kit, now go wild?
[10/3/2019 4:17 PM] denzukoatwork2317
expect to see a lot of blinky lights and dump founded faces
[10/3/2019 4:17 PM] denzukoatwork2317
its the same as saying to someone here's a pen and paper now create a master peice
[10/3/2019 4:22 PM] denzukoatwork2317
given that most that attend a hack-a-thon are; a) just starting their careers, b) just wanting to build a POC that's a value add to their next interview, and/or c) are trying to learn the technology all of which are at some level without the upfront cost / risk of investing their own money. giving them something more than the pen and paper response would go along way to ensuring our continued success with these sorts of things instead of everyone walking away with a negative impression of dms and our committee.
[10/4/2019 9:03 AM] james_david_vance
We're basically going to do what Brother did, except their constraints were that you had to use their printer and it had to be an app. I'm thinking our constraints are going to be that you have to use the Raspberry Pi and at least one of the four sensors in the kit and we'll have pretty much the same judging criteria as Brother, minus the part about the GUI.
[10/4/2019 9:33 AM] denzuko
And those judging criteria would be?
[10/4/2019 9:37 AM] james_david_vance
So I guess I remembered their criteria wrong. Their criteria were originality, market impact, polish, and presentation. I'm thinking ours will be originality, market impact, and completeness.
[10/4/2019 9:57 AM] denzuko

[10/4/2019 10:08 AM] james_david_vance
Same as Brother. We would provide a rubdmric with descriptions for each score in each of the three judging criteria.

Doubt we could copy brother's hackathon. Since DMS is not in the business of giving away $4000 to just anyone

I think I may have accidentally bumped it upward. Well figure out a long-term solution suitable for use, but for now, it's back up.
[10/14/2019 12:04 PM] james_david_vance
Also, I moved things around to create more space for activities.
[10/14/2019 12:05 PM] james_david_vance
I'm not quite finished, but it's getting there. Put in a lot of work last night to improve it.

Just so you guys know, I threw away the picture and frame that were scratched, mismatched, and not being displayed. I also threw away the broken magic 8 ball and the "earthquake detector" joke thing that was missing an eye.

The committee area needs to be usable, not just viewable. Before yesterday, it wasn't either. Like I said, it still needs some work. But my guiding principle is that everything needs to provide value to computer geeks. I personally don't think we have room for a museum. We can talk about that on the 30th (like I said, I can't make it to the meeting this Wednesday)
[10/14/2019 2:20 PM] james_david_vance
It is the Dallas Makerspace after all not the Dallas Nostalgia space. I get that in theory people like looking at this stuff, but the only time I've seen someone actually stop by the committee area and appreciate it was Saturday, when a guy and girl were playing with the blue plastic Mac. I don't know what they were actually able to do or learn with it, but that was the only time I've seen that happen. Also @Denzuko.sdf.org @denzuko-at-work, how do the two Android tablets provide value to computer geeks?
[10/14/2019 3:09 PM] denzuko
we'll talk in person on that
[10/14/2019 3:11 PM] james_david_vance
Fair enough. I'll be at the space today. I'm teaching a class from 6 to 9, but we can talk about what the Android tablets do and how that provides value to computer geeks before or after.

I'm all for decoration, we need geeky stuff, but it shouldn't be the main reason people stop by. Imagine if the main reason people went to the pottery committee area was to appreciate beautiful pieces of pottery. That's juat doesn't fit the mission of the Makerspace or our committee. It's secondary: it's only useful insofar as it serves another goal.
[10/16/2019 4:53 PM] mizgeek
It reminds us of the past as decoration and cheers us on to the future
[10/16/2019 4:53 PM] mizgeek

@DJ Vance Mizgeek is one of our sysops and committee supporters. She like bill and the other committee members/supports buzz our committee area from time to time to enjoy the hardware and use the tools we offer.
[10/16/2019 6:18 PM] denzukoatwork2317
Software cannot exist without hardware, and non of the hardware in the committee area is meant as "decoration" its either going to be functional, made to be functional or get some use. Hence why that IBM typewriter was removed. A member donated it for us to "do something with" we didn't sell it doing the swap meet so it left the inventory. Those Mac's and Commodore machines are highly enjoyed to write retro games on or even use the hardware for different projects.
Bill's own 6502 Python interperter was written on both his own emulator and the machines we provided.

What makes us different than starbucks or some co-work space is we offer tools and equipment that people enjoy using and keep coming back to use. if all we offered was things to program then there's no reason for anyone to come to the space and become a long term member. They can go grab a wifi hotspot at any other place for cheeper and even watch master classes at thier own time.
[10/16/2019 6:23 PM] denzukoatwork2317
Want numbers to back this up? I've had 10 people in the office asking when we're doing the next meetup. We got at lease another six at the Retro meetup wanting to join or support our committee and one expressly because we did hardware too not just softwaree

I think our committee area needs to serve a wider audience than it's currently serving. I think it should be a place where your curiosity can be sparked. Where you can easily get started developing a project with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or vintage hardware. We should make it as easy as possible for people to come and play in an environment that's ready to go. I also want a lot of knowledge transfer to happen in our committees area. I'm personally willing to go there after work frequently and offer help in areas of software and hardware I'm familiar with. Engaging curious minds. Minds curious about how to write excellent software of all kinds, how to find vulnerabilities in computer system, how to assemble a computer, how to go from idea to release and beyond. Things like that.
I think it would be wise to invest in more tabletop/desktop space and set up some Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects that are waiting to be built.
[10/18/2019 3:23 PM] lavarocks.
How much tabletop space would you have in your area to do this?

@DJ Vance, last I heard from Education that 3d fab space is one of their classrooms which would be dedicated as a computer lab. So yes this committee just like any other committee would be able to "share" it just like any other classroom.

the end concept is to programmatically iterate each property in data.services[] and compare to data.search (which is filled in by a text field in the app) if it finds a result in any of the properties then it should return the filtered array with just those objects.
ie, type in uat and get example-uat.1 and ...-uat.2; type in ace and get the ace record. type in running and get all with the status === running.
basically; omni search

[10/18/2019 6:14 PM] james_david_vance
function objectsWithMatchingProperties(objects, keyword)
[10/18/2019 6:14 PM] james_david_vance
and it should return all the objects that have at least one property whose name contains keyword
[10/18/2019 6:14 PM] james_david_vance
correct?
[10/18/2019 6:15 PM] james_david_vance
I know how to do this in Swift. It'll take a little bit to do it in JS

I think what you meant to do here is:

[10/19/2019 12:09 PM] james_david_vance
You might want to improve your code's inefficiency. This is more efficient:
const filter = (items, search) => items.filter(item => Object.keys(item).find((key) => item[key].includes(search)));
Array.some will find all occurrences that match the criteria. Array.find will find only the first, which is all you need. You want all items that have *at least one* property that contains search.

@Lavarocks I'm in talks with Education to make an agenda item to put education in the pillar room and put the proposed computer lab in the current 3d Fab space (orange classroom). The proposal will most likely be to have the 3d Fab space have all the normal equipment you'd expect in a computer lab + some special stuff for the Hackerspace committee.
I'm thinking Arduinos and Raspberry Pis with accessories and instructions on how to complete a starter project. And I would make myself available for people who want guidance to complete those projects.

I think talk is a good idea as in engaged the membership. The primary issue is unless we Hve a donor set up for dozens of identical machines, I think the pillar would be better to be an open format classroom until the other expansion construction are done where the added hallway is then neccessary

[10/28/2019 12:32 PM] denzukoatwork2317
though this might be something more vector's kind of area. But, we could build one. slap a ftdi or custom vga as the output, sdcard reader as an input instead of cartridges then maybe challenge people to build homebrew and demoscene for it. What do you think?

@Deleted User arduino is the picture book of the programming world. Anyone can do it. What are you looking to do with it?
[11/4/2019 8:47 AM] Deleted User
@Denzuko.sdf.org I have an Arduino Uni with a Seeed relay shield. I have them stacked, and just need to turn all 4 relays on for 10 minutes, twice a day. No lcd, or any way to adjust other than code and upload.
[11/4/2019 8:47 AM] Deleted User
But I don't understand C++ too terribly well.
[11/4/2019 8:59 AM] denzuko
it's not c++. Its processing.org. So two questions, 1) hows your JavaScript? 2) which pins are your relays on? Also are the active high or active low?
[11/4/2019 9:09 AM] denzuko
I ask because your sketch sounds like its going to be 12 lines of simple code. All of which is just to do digitalWrite(...) for each relay (or a shift register then latch that to the relay) then sleep(...)

ok, so 24 lines of code without comments. but that should get you started (its not much different than the usual blinky/hello world sketch example). One should just be able to put in the correct pin numbers and upload (if your relays are active high then follow the instructions in the sketch commets)

@denzuko-at-work so, how would I set in that code for it to turn on for 4 minutes at say, 10am and then 5pm?

that's the time delay between triggers.
[11/4/2019 9:43 AM] denzukoatwork2317
so 17:00 - 10:00 is 7 hours. one would need to plugin this device in @ 10am and let it run. 12 hours later it would trigger again and pause for another 12 hours but if one just turns it off after the second run and turns it back on at 10am then your going to have the effect your trying

Just putting this out there to make sure everyone is on the same page. If one is looking for a syllabus; that's not how CTFs are ran. This isn't a class its a hands on training session for people that are expected to know a thing or two about how computers work. Yes the material typically is geared to individuals that are not already in the industry but the subjects do cover real world material. Each run has to be different to prevent someone from gaming the event.

Good lort
[11/5/2019 9:50 PM] kentamanos
@denzuko-at-work IMO, I don't know why you would say "Arduino isn't C++". It literally takes your .ino file, adds a single include file (#include <Arduino.h>) at the beginning, throws on a .cpp at the end and then uses avr-g++ and avr-gcc. You can see this if you go to File/Preferences and Show verbose output during compilation. I feel like they tried to make it seem too simple and hide that it's C++ due to the fear factor.
[11/5/2019 11:22 PM] denzuko
@Kentamanos dude, I've written vim plugins, makefiles, and a cookiecutter template in the past just to provide that yes one can code arduino from cli.
[11/5/2019 11:23 PM] denzuko
Yes its using a compiler but its all bytecode in the end. The ide which most see is processing.org
[11/5/2019 11:25 PM] denzuko
best to be helpful with new guys than scare them off with high tech. And yes I know my devops stuff does that to some too ;)
[11/5/2019 11:29 PM] james_david_vance
So @Denzuko.sdf.org, you were simply referring to an IDE and Javascript framework from processing.org. An alternative to using .ino files directly. Correct?
[11/5/2019 11:30 PM] denzuko
Basically.
[11/5/2019 11:32 PM] denzuko
Most would use the ide anyways since its got a lot of the libraries and drivers already installed plus has the serial debugger backed in.
[11/5/2019 11:33 PM] denzuko
once one has learned the environment then feel free to go darkside and use c++ and ino files
[11/5/2019 11:35 PM] james_david_vance
So the "it" in "it's not c++." refers to your suggestion as to what tool SlipKid08 should try. As opposed to Kentamanos' interpretation that "it" referred to Arduino. Correct?

The language you use to program Arduinos using the IDE which has a processing heritage is C++. That is what I am saying. The original question was a guy wanting to program Arduinos and mentioned he didn't know C++ too well.

[11/5/2019 11:44 PM] denzuko
ok... sure. Hows BackusNaur work for everyone? it's not c++ := "arduino's sketch language is a domain specific language in processing.org. calling it c++ confuses new arduino users into thinking one needs a degree or experience programming to understand when arduino is designed for common non programmers to pick up much like JavaScript use to be for html 3."
[11/5/2019 11:44 PM] kentamanos
That's about how to get an Arduino to talk to a procesing environment
[11/5/2019 11:44 PM] kentamanos
Telling them it's not C++ makes them think they can't easily use existing libraries too 🙂

I've literally heard someone in the electronics room tell someone else that the "Arduino language" is "closer to Java" which makes absolutely ZERO sense to me. I'll admit it's a pet peeve of mine. I'd rather people look at the "Blink" sketch, know it's C++ and then think "that doesn't look so difficult". 🙂

I would go but it costs me about $15 each way to and from DMS from my apartment and Iow on money. I'll be there tomorrow though.

glad to have you around. been busy myself as well since we're now starting to train our NOC team and I've been oncall for the past few weeks.
[11/16/2019 3:27 AM] denzuko5245
though I hear your into collecting / trading old tech. Wasn't there an apple you were telling me about?
[11/21/2019 2:45 PM] andrew5152
so for you web folks out there...what's 2019's 'cPanel' for "enterprise lite" management of user, "ftp", virtual private server management in the freeware segment (i.e. free to install/run on my own 'box' to manage doling out resources to a couple hundred of my closest friends, mostly for giggles, no $$ worries)?
[11/22/2019 9:45 PM] denzuko5245
docker and portainer
[11/22/2019 10:03 PM] denzuko5245
no seriously, portainer becomes the dashboard/control system where one can offer 'server bundle' for users and docker itself can run the x virtual server. https://www.sftpplus.com/articles/2019/trial-version-on-docker-hub-and-openshift.html is a good article on sftp but overall the structure comes:
1. use docker-machine to provision virtual machines (internal/community hardware) or dedicated. (can be turned into an CICD job or an on demand thing with user signup for automation)
2. use a stack like https://github.com/Dallas-Makerspace/datagrid/blob/master/docker-compose.yml and point the app templates end point config to something like: https://github.com/Dallas-Makerspace/software-library
3. Deploy something like killbill.io with ldap integration as one's billing, accounting, and user management. http://killbill.io/blog/having-fun-with-docker-stripe-and-kill-bill-v2/
There's a wide range of versatility in this and one also gets a means to tie in things like sematext/tick stack, function-as-a-service, autoscaling, auto updates, and more. If one wants to go full VM and container based offerings then there's devstack/openstack.

too bad its not the 31's of December. We could have done a new years celeberation
[12/6/2019 12:25 PM] james_david_vance
Anyone can schedule committee meetings, not just the chair. If you do so, you are required to give two weeks notice and I believe you're required to post on Talk. In addition to that, I ask that you post something on Discord as well.
[12/6/2019 6:30 PM] doug.emes
Correct tion. 2 weeks notice for elections
{Reactions}
👍
[12/6/2019 8:09 PM] james_david_vance
But it looks like the minimum in terms of notice for all committee meetings is 5 days. At least that's how I interpret this: "The Chair may hold an emergency Committee meeting with 5 days notice on the forums of DMS, and on signs conspicuously posted in the committee area, provided a good faith effort to notify all current committee members is performed, and that the time of the meeting is not unreasonably restrictive on the members"
[12/6/2019 8:25 PM] denzuko
Committee events not business related can be at any time and a best practice is two weeks notice but 3 days tends to work too
[12/6/2019 8:27 PM] denzuko
myself though, I'm. Hinting at a committee holiday party ;)

@DJ Vance just streight out saying that I'm talking about events that has popped up for a few years now and the political jocking from everyone that wanted to lead from the sidelines but never contribute to the committee and the community around it. But that's neither here or there. Gald we're getting on target now.

@DJ Vance no critization was being implied. I'm generally asking the chair of the commit about the status of an action item that was discussed last year

especially since there's books and a few equipment n there that the committee would need and originally purchased for classes
[1/9/2020 4:48 PM] james_david_vance
Okay, my bad, I thought you were talking about the bins and shelving we discussed at the previous meeting. Apparently you were talking about drawers to go into the rack. My apologies. I think you can see how that message could be misinterpreted, though.
[1/9/2020 4:51 PM] james_david_vance
So I'll be at the space Saturday. I'm gonna make it an all day thing. I have a prior commitment for which I need to be on Skype from 4-6pm, but I'll be moving stuff from the warehouse from around 12pm to 9pm outside of that.

I'll be there tonight. The "important" items on those pallets will be moved into the rack (we can clean that up as we go and if we need the capital then say so I'll order the items myself and have them shipped over night. Same goes for the wall shelving for the books)

I like how you are putting a bunch of trash on the free shelf that will have to be dumpstered tomorrow instead of just taking it to the dumpster.
[1/11/2020 2:46 PM] james_david_vance
If anyone wants to tell me why something shouldn't be put on the freebie shelf, I will listen and maybe put it in the committee area
[1/11/2020 2:47 PM] james_david_vance

[1/11/2020 3:23 PM] james_david_vance
I guess I can put the records on Facebook marketplace, only accept cash, and that money can go to the commitee
[1/11/2020 3:34 PM] james_david_vance
I'm going to put some stuff on Facebook Marketplace and sell it for the committee. Including the records.
[1/11/2020 4:51 PM] canibalcrab
Cool
[1/11/2020 4:53 PM] james_david_vance
I'm going to default to trying to sell stuff instead of putting it on the freebie shelf
[1/11/2020 4:54 PM] james_david_vance
But if the stuff doesn't have any offers within like a month of posting, it's going either to the freebie shelf or the trash.
[1/11/2020 5:00 PM] aceat64
just fyi, be sure to send an email to finance/treasurer with a link to the postings, they'll likely ask for it so it's easier to just do it ahead of time

This stuff is going in the committee area for now. If anyone wants to make the case that it should stay there, please do so. Otherwise, it will be thrown out after a month goes by without anyone making the case that we should keep it. I'm talking sspecifixally about the papers

[1/14/2020 3:51 PM] andrew5152
I'm not a fan of listing ALL the committees right up front there, I like the links done on the regular page better for that, but It does adapt to handhelds better than the regular page
[1/14/2020 3:52 PM] johntron0
My thinking on that was if layout can support it, better to list those, since that's probably the most commonly-used links.
[1/14/2020 3:52 PM] james_david_vance

[1/14/2020 3:54 PM] james_david_vance
I think we need separation of concerns
[1/14/2020 3:54 PM] nullinterface
if you're at the wiki, odds are you got there for a reason - not necessarily the same for the main website
[1/14/2020 3:55 PM] johntron0
Yeah - I tried to remove some info or shove it more towards the bottom when I felt it was redundant (with website)
[1/14/2020 3:55 PM] nullinterface
so I've thought about this but have mostly concerned myself with meeting minutes and other organizational governance-fu
[1/14/2020 3:55 PM] james_david_vance
Form should follow function. So there should be zero ambiguity as to what the purpose of the main page is before you get started with the layout.
[1/14/2020 3:56 PM] andrew5152
to be fair, experienced members stop in to get to somewhere else: tools, committees, meetings pages and the like
[1/14/2020 3:56 PM] andrew5152
but the main page needs to be inviting to propsective members, too, and I think the existing one does a much better job on that front
[1/14/2020 3:56 PM] andrew5152
(although it would be nice if it scaled to handheld better)
[1/14/2020 3:57 PM] james_david_vance
I think this requires a larger audience, maybe a team dedicated to the development and points of contact when design decisions need to be made.
[1/14/2020 3:57 PM] johntron0
Can you elaborate on that? Do you mean aesthetically or as far as the info and how it's arranged?
[1/14/2020 3:58 PM] johntron0
Yeah, I don't want to organize that sort of thing Raffi, but happy to give my input if somebody else does.
[1/14/2020 3:58 PM] johntron0
Currently shopping for a house, so can't commit to that. Maybe later though.
[1/14/2020 3:59 PM] andrew5152
aesthetically
ergonomics are all wrong to me
I open the page, and scroll halfway down, and get a white wall of 2 columns of text that appear to be committees (of course, if we're experienced, we know this, but it's unfriendly to new looky-loos, I think)
{Reactions}
👍
[1/14/2020 3:59 PM] james_david_vance
What I mean is that the layout of the page should defer to how it should be used. If it's purpose is solely to let people access the commitees, for example, that would influence the layout of the page. If the sole purpose is to give a snapshot of activities at the space, that would influence the layout. If the purpose includes both of those, but the primary purpose of to give people a snapshot, that would influence the layout.
[1/14/2020 3:59 PM] andrew5152
and, FTW, the columns aren't even

[1/14/2020 4:00 PM] johntron0
Good point jast - I started the revisions thinking new members need an easier way to find info, then figured most of that was already on the website.
[1/14/2020 4:00 PM] johntron0
We could make the new member 411 more prominent.

speaking of ... @DJ Vance you've got a nonmember that wants to attend your philosophy meetup tomorrow - might want to be on the lookout for someone trying to get in the building
[1/14/2020 4:07 PM] james_david_vance
So if I wanted to do that in an app, I would need to know what URL and what parameters, if any, I need to give it.
[1/14/2020 4:07 PM] johntron0
Raffi - haven't actually looked at browser's network panel, but I believe calendar is rendered server-side, so no REST-ish API.
[1/14/2020 4:08 PM] johntron0
Oh Raffi - you organize the philosophy meetup? I've been wanting to attend, just waiting for the stars to align.
[1/14/2020 4:08 PM] james_david_vance

[1/14/2020 4:08 PM] james_david_vance

So it turns out that we can't keep obsolete books like Java 2 and HTML 4 in the committee area. A board member has contacted me and told me to take it home or throw it away. I'm not taking any of it home.

This has to be done before Saturday morning because of tours.
[1/14/2020 10:19 PM] james_david_vance
I'll be at the space tomorrow for philosophy, but I wont throw stuff out then. I'll do it on Friday after I get out of work. I'll be at the space no earlier than 5:15pm Friday. I'm clarifying with the board what exactly needs to go, but I think the actual computers can stay (the iMac, Commodore, and two other Apple computers). The old rack linted server has to go. That was called out by the board.

There's a lot of **just BARELY not trash** that ends up on the shelf that ended up taking a far more convoluted path to the landfill than it had to. If you can't find a use for it, can't sell it, and don't know someone that has an immediate use for it *consider throwing it away*

[1/15/2020 2:47 PM] andrew5152
so here's a stupid nooB question that I'm sure you good folks can answer in a heartbeat
let's say I have a customer who, up until recently, has been using ftp and I'm working to warm them to SFTP so at least not EVERYTHING is in plain text. But... as the server admin, how do you
1. obtain the "host fingerprint" to pass along to them, so when they get squeemish about clicking "yes" to accept the key, it matches
2. why don't the various clients match, each other (filezilla shows a different key than winscp) or match anything I've turned up with something like `for f in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key do ssh-keygen -l -f "$f"; done` ?
[1/15/2020 2:50 PM] james_david_vance
Mark Havens probably knows the answer to this. @mrhavens
[1/15/2020 2:59 PM] hon1nbo
@A. Spencer(jast) I got around this by using a script that added fingerprints to the users machines. Typically filezilla (last I did this) had a cache I could edit. WinSCP may not be using the TLS ftp, but rather SSH (is it's default).
[1/15/2020 3:00 PM] andrew5152
server-side is sshd
[1/15/2020 3:01 PM] andrew5152
hypothetical clients are not machines I can touch
[1/15/2020 3:01 PM] andrew5152
but I'd still be interested in where you got your fingerprints to be able to use the script on the clients
[1/15/2020 4:12 PM] hon1nbo
when I setup the server side I ran each client to grab the fingerprints, then just used a script to insert them into the respective known hosts on the machines
[1/15/2020 4:13 PM] hon1nbo
gathering the fingerprints was manual, as different clients used different modes and I'm not certain on how each was doing it

@A. Spencer(jast) ssh-keyscan(1) https://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh-keyscan then pipe that to tee(1) with the -a flag for ~/.ssh/known_hosts. [ssh-keyscan sdf.org | tee -a ~/.ssh/known_hosts]
2) any load balancer in front of the ssh server? Only way there's different "host fingerprints" is if there's different keys and that typically means a, compromised server/session, b, some HA traffic management

Update on removal of obsolete stuff: Dwight and Austin helped me go through it and throw away or put stuff on the freebie shelf as needed. 90% of the stuff went in the trash. I wish people would have come and picked up some of the stuff. I threw away an Apple monitor and it made me sad

@DJ Vance. I can understand that view. But even if we were 99% ready, it should be delayed. And because there were prior concerns during meetings of making deliverable targets, this exceptional situations should be noted

@SewingStuff yes. Been working on a few projects, updating a lot of code and putting together some master classes on Chaos Engineering. By the way that Mac is really cool @DJ Vance. Remind me of the model I had back in Colorado that I got from the pc recyclers up there. Turns out after looking into the serial it was one of the last 1000 made in Colorado Springs before they moved the manufacture plant to China. I wonder if yours is in that same batch.

[4/22/2020 3:38 AM] dinkbatt
from what i understand about water cooling is that it is pretty and fancy (cool LED fx) but if you've ever seen linus's videos he really does a great job of measuring and experimenting and showing that as long as you have a decent fan heat sink and a dust free environment you really dont need much more
[4/22/2020 9:06 AM] michaelb5250
Here, my GPU runs nearly 100C with the stock cooler, on water it stays below 60. The CPU might do alright on a 140mm tower but they don't sell aftermarket air coolers for GPUs.

[4/22/2020 10:52 AM] nullinterface
heck, I just assumed it was a lot of material being removed along with a number of iterations to get something passable
[4/22/2020 2:30 PM] michaelb5250
When things get as long and thin as heatsink fins they tend to vibrate, which wrecks havoc on the machining process, no matter what tools you're using. More often than not I've seen people use slitting saws to cut fins, which is another set of problems.
[4/22/2020 3:57 PM] nullinterface
too much detail / too small pieces to cast?
[4/22/2020 3:57 PM] hon1nbo
depends on the heatsink design
[4/22/2020 3:57 PM] hon1nbo
pure horizontal fins aren't too bad until you get to thinner fins (like that a GPU would need). Crosscut fins are the absolute worst
[4/22/2020 3:58 PM] nullinterface
I can see crosscut being a world of suck
[4/22/2020 3:58 PM] hon1nbo
the wavy ones in things like water blocks can actually be easier since they have a little more stability with triangular wave patterns in some of them, assuming you're doing it CNC, but that still varies on some other parameters too
[4/22/2020 3:58 PM] nullinterface
CPU heatsinks still tending towards circular designs that look extruded?
[4/22/2020 4:00 PM] hon1nbo
air ones I see are mostly circularly configured flat fins, or standard heatsink forms with a circular profile cut to save board space
[4/22/2020 4:00 PM] hon1nbo
or square blocks in the middle with orthogonal fins on each side cut with a circular profile but again still flat fins
[4/22/2020 4:01 PM] hon1nbo
unsure on manufacturing process for most of them
[4/22/2020 4:01 PM] nullinterface
will confess I didn't pay much attention to the latest HSF (which was also encased in a housing), but the predecessor was circular and might have been extruded and simply cut on a saw
[4/22/2020 4:10 PM] michaelb5250
Intel stock coolers from a few years ago were extruded.
[4/22/2020 4:11 PM] michaelb5250
Your main options for commercial heat sinks are extruded or bonded fin, where the base is made with slots and fins are stamped from sheet metal and glued in place.
[4/22/2020 4:12 PM] michaelb5250
Tower coolers like the big Noctua ones are, afaik, stamped fins that are bonded onto heat pipes, which is the way most modern cpu coolers are going
[4/22/2020 4:14 PM] michaelb5250
Water blocks can be machined (I believe EK does this) because the height:depth is smaller so less chatter. Some, like cooler master AIOs are skivved, where a blade comes in at an angle and peels up a layer of the base metal, forming a fin.
[4/22/2020 4:15 PM] michaelb5250
Iirc casting is also difficult because the fins will tend to warp as they cool.
[4/22/2020 4:19 PM] hon1nbo
EK, XSPC, and I believe Koolance (based on old products of theirs I used, been a while though) were all machined; I don't think I've actually seen a cast or extruded CPU nor GPU block in any half-decent water cooling products.
[4/22/2020 4:20 PM] nullinterface
Would there be some durable mold used for castings or more like sand? With a durable mold I'd imagine extracting the fins from the mold could be a challenge
[4/22/2020 4:21 PM] hon1nbo
on top of extraction, it's just the natural cooling of the metal shrinking in the fins that makes it tricky with something that thin
[4/22/2020 4:21 PM] hon1nbo
for thicker heatsinks sure, but not for some of the fine ones you see in very high heat / fast moving air environments like a modern GPU
[4/22/2020 4:24 PM] michaelb5250
Right the extruded stuff was all heatsinks. I dont know of anything relevant here that's been cast.
[4/22/2020 4:36 PM] nullinterface
I've seen some heatsinks for power electronics that may well have been cast then cleaned up with some non-machining process

You can just use an emulator. Or, if you want to run it on a device, you can either get a flashable cartridge. There's also a cartridge that has a slot for a microSD card with games on it.
I'm following this series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeEj4c2zF7PaFv5MPYhNAkBGrkx4iPGJo

@SackOvRats (Brenly) Nothing hacking related like that. I built a small website I could hit from my WiFi to open my gate with a connected garage remote control. Later I moved my AP and it became just a little too far for the ESP. If you go over to #electronics you can scroll up and see the hardware connection to the sacrificial garage remote. FWIW, I found how to attach to the gate controller directly and will repeat that when I get better WiFi in my back yard (and switch to MQTT). I also took a color LED D20 Pearce made and had it respond to REST calls for color pattern definition (posted that on Show and Tell for May or April, can't remember). Take a look at "ESPHome" for home automation ideas. I'm planning to build some to control my garage doors as well (close a relay to short two wires and probably some reed switches for detecting fully open/closed states).
[7/1/2020 6:21 PM] kentamanos
When it comes to the ESP8266 (and a lesser extent the ESP32), one thing to figure out is "which pins are best". Some have conditions at bootup (bad for generic input) and some output weird values at bootup (bad for generic output).

I honest to goodness can't come up with what to say. The idea that computers don't take up space... I mean, I am practically certain he doesn't mean ill or anything, but I don't understand the argument made *at all*.
[7/22/2020 11:51 PM] slinkygn
And that's entirely ignoring the museum, which is *presently* taking up space -- where does the argument that the committee doesn't need space arise from, when it's already using some?
[7/22/2020 11:54 PM] slinkygn
Heck, don't we ostensibly have a "computer lab" now? Considering how we've had instruction for every other committee in e.g. Interactive or the purple room or just about anywhere before now, I'd think that having a designated "computer lab" would be most useful in facilitating *computing* classes -- software, or networking, or even Get To Know Your PC 101 -- and as such should be "space" designated to the Computer Committee, rather than Ed or Infra.
[7/22/2020 11:54 PM] slinkygn
In the same way that when one takes an airbrushing class, the airbrushes are CA's and not Ed's or such.
[7/22/2020 11:54 PM] slinkygn
I guess I just don't know what we'd be arguing *against*.
[7/23/2020 3:09 AM] hon1nbo
The computer lab falls under Education. The museum takes up space, but it doesn't need to i.e. what benefit is it serving our mission.
[7/23/2020 3:10 AM] hon1nbo
Historically VCC and SDC, which formed the computer/hacker space committee, were sorely lacking in useful activity
[7/23/2020 5:24 AM] slinkygn
Our mission is educational. A museum *literally* falls directly under our mission.
[7/23/2020 5:26 AM] slinkygn
And seeing as that's the case historically, "historically" we did not give the precursors space. That happens to have precisely zero relevance to the committee in question right now, and the "useful activities" in question right now.
[7/23/2020 5:27 AM] slinkygn
We typically try to avoid engaging in things that are against our mission. Are you saying you think the museum should not be part of the space?
[7/23/2020 5:36 AM] slinkygn
I don't think VECTOR would like that argument either, when used to remove pinball tables from the public areas (clearly not space assigned to VECTOR, of course). Or did our mission become entertainment?
Not to mention - how many classes/events get taught out of VECTOR proper? Did they even *have* an event in 2019, other than retrocomputing or 2600 events (save committee meetings, obviously) which would actually fall under Computer Committee except that the calendar doesn't actually have that category? (Pretty sure the answer to that is either "no, they didn't" or "they had fewer than one per quarter.")
[7/23/2020 5:40 AM] slinkygn
To be clear: curbing VECTOR's space or committee designation would be ridiculous. I'm simply pointing out that the reason that's ridiculous is directly tied to the fact that we *don't* measure the validity of a committee based purely on someone's conception of what does or doesn't "meet our mission," because seen more ecumenically (and correctly) our mission can and always has encompassed a very broad view of what making/hacking can be, and has been driven not by seasonal opinion on that point but on the engagement of the membership.
[7/23/2020 5:41 AM] slinkygn
If something's popular, it lives. If it's popular enough to grow and maintain interest and enough people to sustain a leadership structure of its own, it gets a committee. If that changes in a year or three -- that's not a problem; we've been happy to promote and demote committees before, and we'll continue doing that as the membership ebbs and flows.
[7/23/2020 5:43 AM] slinkygn
Case in point: Plastics was supposed to be a committee by now. What happened? Interest died off a bit, and there weren't enough people around to sustain a leadership structure that would keep it going. So it remained a SIG, and at this point largely is only that nominally (as it doesn't have any leadership designated at all at this point, per my understanding from the last conversation about it in the machine shop channel).
[7/23/2020 5:48 AM] slinkygn
tl;dr "The museum is not within our mission" (holding, or at least entertaining, that opinion being the only reason one would ask "it doesn't need to take up space, what benefit is it serving our mission") is both fundamentally incorrect, as it does fall within our mission, and as deeply flawed as a point of argument as saying e.g. "member art hanging on our walls should be taken down, that space isn't CA's and displaying art doesn't fall within our mission." Nor does kids' projects on public school walls, the same grinch would argue. But within the context of education and learning environments, engaging membership and keeping them interested and fascinated with what we do absolutely *is* fundamental to our mission.

As far as SDC & VCC, it is the lack of any actions after multiple prods from multiple Boards. It is basically time to put up or shutup.
[7/23/2020 10:34 AM] hon1nbo
^^ this.
Unlike the 10x10, or vector, or any of the other stuff you mentioned, the "museum" doesn't drive engagement. It doesn't promote the arts or effective learning. Classes aren't happening effectively.
If it doesn't do classes, if it doesn't engage members, if it doesn't promote the space or the arts, then why does it get to be a committee?
The committee has been given numerous chances to get off the ground but there simply isn't engagement to show for it. It doesn't have the external presence that something like Vector has; it doesn't have the engagement that the creative committees have. And, frankly, the "museum" stuff has always just looked like a dumping ground with things not in a clearly usable state, nor was it really curated or anything educational presented about the contents
[7/23/2020 2:10 PM] james_david_vance
I think you can have a community of computer geeks without having a permanent and exclusive space. You can have classes and events. When it comes to education stuff, the only thing I can think of that would require permanent exclusive space would be graphics cards for ML. I believe there are plans to make some hardware that is very powerful for training ML models available at the space and over the network. But that doesn't require much space and I don't think some Nvidia Teslas (apparently renamed to Ampere bc of confusion with the car company) warrant a whole committee.
The other thing is that I would be very surprised if you couldn't work with the board to move the vintage computer exhibit to the front lobby if you cane up with a way to make it more interactive.
To me the bottom line is: if we want to foster a community, let's do more events, let's do more classes, let's do more projects. Currently, I'm working on making an iOS application with the server Jim donated to me. I'd love to work with someone more familiar with the back end side of things. And then we could put together a presentation of how the application works afterward and make an event out of it. Wouldn't that be cool?
[7/23/2020 5:38 PM] hon1nbo
So to clarify, it's not that these things can't happen (the ML model support, maybe even the museum if it was actually more than just a raw assembly) but that they'd be better served by different groups.
The ML backing for the workstations would be better maintained by Education to divy up the computer lab and resources for teaching. The museum if it can develop would probably fair better under PR as an interactive event type of thing
[7/23/2020 5:38 PM] hon1nbo
Just as the committees currently stand not much is being contributed to the space
[7/23/2020 5:41 PM] james_david_vance
I think that makes sense
[7/23/2020 9:05 PM] slinkygn
You are literally talking to members that are engaged with the things you say no one is engaged in. Otherwise, why would we be advocating for them? If they're not of interest, nobody's interested and no one will advocate. This is really a very simple problem to remedy -- simply listen to members about what they care about.
[7/23/2020 9:06 PM] yashsedai
@slinkygn (George) who is engaged in it
[7/23/2020 9:07 PM] slinkygn
I check in on the museum regularly, and have pieces I'd like to contribute. @denzuko has specifically advocated for it, loudly and often. I imagine the other contributors have contributed because they're interested, and the fact that they contributed itself is engagement.
[7/23/2020 9:09 PM] slinkygn
It's literally self-evident -- the fact the things themselves exist speak to their having extant engagement, and people who advocate for not removing things currently in the space advocate for them because they are either engaged in them or want to be.
[7/23/2020 9:13 PM] slinkygn
This is basically taking a club to the Python Holy Grail "I'm not dead yet!" guy. It's really much funnier when it remains fiction. Carry a "dead" guy out to be disposed of and he starts telling you not to, maybe consider you're mistaken about his being dead. Maybe actually "getting better!"
[7/23/2020 9:13 PM] slinkygn

[7/23/2020 9:15 PM] slinkygn
We used to have a rack full of Cisco switches and routers, running recent-enough versions of IOS to be useful for training purposes. Unfortunately, there wasn't a computer committee back then. It lived in Science, so nobody that would have been interested knew about it (and moreover, nobody that found it could seem to find anyone to ok it's moving and use -- I know, I tried plenty), and eventually went away.
[7/23/2020 9:19 PM] slinkygn
"Can" you do something for a computing "committee" without space? Of course you can. You could also do stuff for science committee without space. I mean, certainly no hands-on classes, right? Heck, even Motorsports hasn't had any space historically. The question isn't "can they do without." The question is, "can they benefit from it." And from there it's a question of whether there are people involved that are interested and willing to perpetuate it.
[7/23/2020 9:19 PM] slinkygn
Which, again, should have sufficient answer from the fact that we're having this discussion.
[7/23/2020 9:20 PM] slinkygn
On surely unrelated topics (...), hope the VECTOR meeting tonight was good. Unfortunately missed it, myself.
[7/23/2020 9:24 PM] slinkygn
Not something I expected anyone would want to engage on when I brought it up -- understandably, as it seems pretty self-evident; just don't know why some feel like that doesn't apply here. (Same with the computer lab, for that matter, as I mentioned before re: shared committee-specific resources in the space.)
[7/23/2020 9:49 PM] yashsedai
so your stance that what was done in the past justifies the complete and utter lack of any real contribution by this committee in the last 3 years?
[7/23/2020 9:49 PM] yashsedai
there is literally no contribution
[7/23/2020 9:50 PM] yashsedai
the "museum" isn't a museum, the rack contains nothing useful besides the cell repeater.
[7/23/2020 9:50 PM] yashsedai
@slinkygn (George) when was the last time you were involved or came to the space?
[7/23/2020 9:50 PM] yashsedai
i'm guessing its been a long long while
[7/23/2020 9:51 PM] slinkygn
It has been a *very* long while for me.
[7/23/2020 9:51 PM] slinkygn
Like, three weeks, I think.
[7/23/2020 9:51 PM] slinkygn
I'm usually there multiple times a week.
[7/23/2020 9:51 PM] slinkygn
Gotta say, I like the quiet-like-a-morgue vibe it's got going.
[7/23/2020 9:52 PM] slinkygn
I was certainly there a couple times a week for a couple of weeks after opening. But I've been telling myself I'm not heading back in until I finish a model I'd like to 3D print -- and I've been tearing my hair out over it for a couple of weeks' worth of spare time now. Working on it now, as a matter of fact.
[7/23/2020 9:54 PM] slinkygn
The museum has actually rotated exhibits, btw. 🙂 Granted, not often. But again, probably about as often as the wall art changed, or as a machine moved in and out of Vector.
[7/23/2020 9:54 PM] slinkygn
And yes, the rack is empty. It's also not the old rack that I was referring to. As in, not even the same physical entity.
[7/23/2020 9:55 PM] slinkygn
That, again, no longer exists in the space. As of years ago.
[7/23/2020 9:55 PM] slinkygn
Back before there was a VCC, even.
[7/23/2020 9:55 PM] slinkygn
(Pretty sure. It was close, but I don't think it was that close. If I'm wrong, I'm sure @denzuko will correct me on that.)
[7/23/2020 9:56 PM] slinkygn
(Assuming he saw the network rack in Science in the first place! 🙂 I'd hope so, but dunno.)
[7/23/2020 9:56 PM] slinkygn
I still think the live, usable C64 should have stayed as a permanent museum fixture. 🙂
[7/23/2020 9:58 PM] slinkygn
Another unrelated aside: assumptions are funny things, ain't they.
[7/23/2020 9:59 PM] slinkygn
Is the tag database still publicly accessible? I'm sure you could find out to the day the last time I was there.
[7/23/2020 10:03 PM] yashsedai
ofc its not
[7/23/2020 10:04 PM] slinkygn
ah, ok. Literally hadn't worked on it since the Chinese entry system days, so wasn't sure.
[7/23/2020 10:05 PM] slinkygn
Will, "after reopening, and multiple times," suffice for the purposes of your question?
[7/23/2020 10:05 PM] yashsedai
it answers my question
[7/23/2020 10:06 PM] slinkygn
I appreciate the precision in that answer.
[7/23/2020 10:06 PM] slinkygn
It was clear from how the question was asked that whether the answer would "suffice" was predetermined, even if I'd been there daily.
[7/23/2020 10:09 PM] yashsedai
you assume much to know little about me
[7/23/2020 10:16 PM] slinkygn
Do I? I simply "assume" that you have no idea how often I'm in the space, Freddy. An assumption that seems to have proven true. Beyond that, I don't find myself assuming much of anything about you.
[7/23/2020 10:16 PM] slinkygn
I haven't been telling you whether you participate in XYZ committee -- that's been you, telling me. I haven't been telling you how often you're in the space, that's been you, telling me.
[7/23/2020 10:17 PM] slinkygn
In a way, I'm flattered. I'm sorry I can't say I spend much time assuming anything about you at all. Nothing personal -- I just haven't seen the need. Doesn't get me faster print times, or 15 minutes shaved off my strut change, or any more facility with hot-air rework or whatever.
[7/23/2020 10:43 PM] hon1nbo
it's not a museum, it's a collection of non-useful items without context, documentation, or effective presentation
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] hon1nbo
to be contributing to the community
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] hon1nbo
it would require more than just *you* or a couple of other people to be using it
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] hon1nbo
it would require *engaging* the membership
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] slinkygn
Sure, like Vector does.
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] hon1nbo
it's a fallacy to say simply because the items are *extand* somehow implies usefulness
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] hon1nbo
vector actually *does* engage people and promote the space
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] slinkygn
Perhaps official recognition and a way to post event items tagged to the group would aid in that.
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] hon1nbo
unlike computer committee currently does
[7/23/2020 10:44 PM] hon1nbo
except they've had it
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] hon1nbo
they wasted it
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] hon1nbo
this is why it's being discussed to remove that recognition
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] slinkygn
Again: Vector has had zero events on the calendar, save for their committee meetings, in the past year
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] hon1nbo
they did nothing with it
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] slinkygn
everything tagged "vector" has actually been computer
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] hon1nbo
except that's not true
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] hon1nbo
they host events *outside* the space and regularly engage the community in various ways
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] hon1nbo
heck even just having someone present for *tours* is engagement
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] hon1nbo
except not
[7/23/2020 10:45 PM] hon1nbo
Texas Pinball Festival being a great example
[7/23/2020 10:46 PM] slinkygn
And Computer hosts events that don't show up on the calendar as well
[7/23/2020 10:46 PM] hon1nbo
of representing the space in a very visible way and engaging people
[7/23/2020 10:46 PM] hon1nbo
except where's that shown?
[7/23/2020 10:46 PM] hon1nbo
what was actually done?
[7/23/2020 10:46 PM] hon1nbo
unlike Vector, no one seems to see such things
[7/23/2020 10:46 PM] hon1nbo
except for supposedly a handful of people that have at one point run the committee
[7/23/2020 10:46 PM] slinkygn
as for TPF, the number of members "engaged" in that can be counted on two hands -- possibly with one to spare, depending on the year -- and that's for a committee that's been around nearly as long as DMS itself.
[7/23/2020 10:46 PM] hon1nbo
and argued for it without showing results
[7/23/2020 10:47 PM] slinkygn
I mean, I didn't run Computer. I see such things.
[7/23/2020 10:47 PM] hon1nbo
hell we killed some servers because Dwight, despite saying they're community and committee projects, couldn't produce *a single user* of said systems
[7/23/2020 10:47 PM] hon1nbo
so we killed all the VCC cloud and servers
[7/23/2020 10:47 PM] hon1nbo
because *they were costing us money with zero contribution*
[7/23/2020 10:47 PM] slinkygn
I was *literally* introduced to the committee via the museum.
[7/23/2020 10:47 PM] hon1nbo
as a museum, and nothing more, it should be under PR
[7/23/2020 10:47 PM] hon1nbo
if it can get its act in order
[7/23/2020 10:47 PM] slinkygn
ah, so that's why they went away.
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
there is no reason for a computer committee at this point
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
no one on the committee
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
past or present
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] slinkygn
Again: really easy to make a population seem invisible by giving them no organized fashion in which to meet.
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
could identify a single user outside of Dwight
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
or what they were
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
they chose not to have anything to meet
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
because they never met
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
they were given all the resources every committee had
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
and did nothign
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] slinkygn
So the CTFs were imaginary?
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
they were given an ultimatum by the last board
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] hon1nbo
and squandarded it
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] slinkygn
The 2600 meetup?
[7/23/2020 10:48 PM] slinkygn
The retrocomputing meetups?
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] slinkygn
Pretty sure I recall *people* at them.
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] hon1nbo
the only CTF I'm aware of during my entire membership was my first year, had tons of complaints, and that was it
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] hon1nbo
and those events can still happen
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] slinkygn
Which is more than I can say for a number of groups.
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] hon1nbo
but those aren't committee meetings
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] slinkygn
There were multiple CTFs.
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] hon1nbo
those are just *outside events*
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] slinkygn
Bet you would've been more likely to see them if they could've gone on the calendar.
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] slinkygn
*Inside* events.
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] hon1nbo
dude, I'm a calendar auditor
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] hon1nbo
I see everything regularly
[7/23/2020 10:49 PM] slinkygn
I think the last CTF posting is still on a whiteboard in the old lobby.
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] hon1nbo
they can go on the calendar
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] hon1nbo
they either chose not to
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] slinkygn
Under what tag?
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] slinkygn
Vector?
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] hon1nbo
or they were organized outside the committee
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] slinkygn
The irony can't possibly escape you.
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] hon1nbo
either way, that's not something that needs a committee
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] hon1nbo
that's a SIG or just a general meetuo
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] hon1nbo
those events don't need funds
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] hon1nbo
they don't need space
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] slinkygn
They were organized by the committee chair; you can take that up with him.
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] hon1nbo
2600 meetups have been a thing long before DMS
[7/23/2020 10:50 PM] slinkygn
I got the impression they were organized in whatever way he could manage.
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
the face they were hosted at DMS doesn't mean that he organized them directly
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] slinkygn
non sequitur
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
nor that they will stop when the committee does
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] slinkygn
it was ON THE CALENDAR
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
and?
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
this needs to be a committee how?
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
that isn't what makes a committee
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
someone hosts Access COntrol summits at DMS with regularity
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] slinkygn
on the calendar = organized within DMS
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] slinkygn
"inside" event
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
do we need an Access COntrol Committee?
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
NO
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] slinkygn
you're playing at straw men, and doing it poorly.
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
dude, on the calendar doesn't mean DMS is the organizer
[7/23/2020 10:51 PM] hon1nbo
it often just means it's the host
[7/23/2020 10:52 PM] hon1nbo
there are plenty of events where we're hosting because one of the partakers happens to be a member that offers to reserve a room
[7/23/2020 10:52 PM] hon1nbo
and as a non-profit we allow this
[7/23/2020 10:52 PM] slinkygn
Well, it just so happened that it was both. Like with most events.
[7/23/2020 10:52 PM] hon1nbo
you clearly have no idea what you're talking about
[7/23/2020 10:52 PM] hon1nbo
so I'm done
[7/23/2020 10:52 PM] hon1nbo
it's just circular arguments with you
[7/23/2020 10:52 PM] slinkygn
Again, you're straw-manning.
[7/23/2020 10:52 PM] slinkygn
I can't control a circular argument when you're running circuits from point to point trying to keep them all in the air.
[7/23/2020 10:53 PM] slinkygn
That ain't me.
[7/23/2020 10:53 PM] slinkygn
Involvement: events were held, members attended. Within the space, and certainly more than some other groups in the space. Which doesn't mean they should go, but rather that the threshold should be consistent.
[7/23/2020 10:54 PM] slinkygn
Space requirement: it literally *already* uses space. That space is no worse used than, say, Small Metals (previously). And it is no less enriching to have space for equipment than Science's space is.
[7/23/2020 10:54 PM] yashsedai
I would love to know the last date of a computer committee event
[7/23/2020 10:55 PM] yashsedai
how about the last 5 for arguements sake
[7/23/2020 10:55 PM] slinkygn
Your grudge re: the VCC servers -- irrelevant to whether a committee needs space, and thus as to whether something currently with committee designation should remain so.
[7/23/2020 10:55 PM] slinkygn
Freddy, I don't think you've been listening.
[7/23/2020 10:55 PM] slinkygn
Check the calendar under "Vector," for the past year.
[7/23/2020 10:55 PM] slinkygn
Skip all the Vector committee meetings.
[7/23/2020 10:57 PM] slinkygn
(and of course anything about "vector graphics")
[7/23/2020 10:58 PM] yashsedai
lol
[7/23/2020 10:59 PM] yashsedai
love how you tell me i've not been listening
[7/23/2020 11:00 PM] slinkygn
Well, when the shoe fits.
[7/23/2020 11:00 PM] slinkygn
1/25/2020 Retrocomputing meetup
10/12/2019 Retrocomputing meetup
9/2/2019 2600 meeting (offsite, hosted by Dwight, still on calendar)
7/27/2019 Retrocomputing meetup
[7/23/2020 11:00 PM] slinkygn
And I skipped two events that I'd say are clearly Computer but I'm sure somebody would want to call Vector
[7/23/2020 11:02 PM] hon1nbo
meetups aren't the same as what a committee does dude
[7/23/2020 11:02 PM] hon1nbo
until you understand that
[7/23/2020 11:02 PM] hon1nbo
you won't understand the core of the issue
[7/23/2020 11:02 PM] slinkygn
4/23/2020 Process of Arcade ROM Hacking
6/30/2019 Build a MAME machine with a Raspberry Pi
[7/23/2020 11:03 PM] slinkygn
Seriously, you think you'll get somewhere by lecturing me on what a committee does?
[7/23/2020 11:03 PM] slinkygn
(Or not lecturing, and just presuming my ignorance, I suppose?)
[7/23/2020 11:04 PM] slinkygn
What is it with you and Freddy conveniently forgetting that I've been a member since 2013, and a plenty active and present (and involved in various committees) member?
[7/23/2020 11:04 PM] hon1nbo
and these justify a committee rather than a SIG under something else how?
[7/23/2020 11:04 PM] hon1nbo
again
[7/23/2020 11:04 PM] hon1nbo
you're missing the core of the issue
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] hon1nbo
I'm not forgettin
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] hon1nbo
I just don't care
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] hon1nbo
the facts are simple here
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] hon1nbo
there's nothing to justify this as a committee in its current status
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] slinkygn
The justification for a committee is that it has a good reason to claim and use space that would enrich educational programs.
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] hon1nbo
except it doesn't
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] hon1nbo
things like the museum would fit better under PR
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] hon1nbo
the other items would work cleanly under either education or electronics
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] slinkygn
The museum is *one* thing -- and tell CA to quit putting stuff on the walls if you think the museum should go under PR.
[7/23/2020 11:05 PM] hon1nbo
it doesn't require its own committee
[7/23/2020 11:06 PM] hon1nbo
the walls are quire a bit different
[7/23/2020 11:06 PM] hon1nbo
than what people on tours ask is the pile of junk
[7/23/2020 11:06 PM] hon1nbo
that is "the museum"
[7/23/2020 11:06 PM] slinkygn
Education is not, never has been and never should be a "catch-all" for categories of education we don't want to trouble ourselves with naming despite the fact that there are plenty of people that want to be involved in it.
[7/23/2020 11:06 PM] hon1nbo
computer committee would do just fine *as a SIG*
[7/23/2020 11:06 PM] hon1nbo
it doesn't need to be *a committee*
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] slinkygn
Nobody was calling it a "pile of junk" when they could play Oregon Trail there. Odd.
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
except plenty of people do
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
because it appears that way
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
since it's not a museum
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] slinkygn
I wonder if it started getting called a pile of junk because it got thrown in a side room like a pile of junk.
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
despite continued efforts to call it such
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
even before it got moved
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] slinkygn
Plenty of people *don't*.
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
back when I first joined
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
it was a mess
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] slinkygn
Maybe they do too.
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
with no explanation

no curation

no documentation
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] slinkygn
Your anecdote is about as good as mine.
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] slinkygn
And as relevant.
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
the fact of the matter is
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
museums are different
[7/23/2020 11:07 PM] hon1nbo
this was not a museum
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] hon1nbo
that's not an anecdote
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] hon1nbo
that's a fact
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] hon1nbo
anyway I'm just gonna mute this now
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] hon1nbo
you can't look at this objectively
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] slinkygn
You note shortfalls in the museum, and yet can't imagine going forward instead of backward.
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] slinkygn
Say, with an actual named and recognized committee that could write up explanations for the items.
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] slinkygn
That WERE curated.
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] slinkygn
You are incorrect in that.
[7/23/2020 11:08 PM] slinkygn
As I mentioned, they were even rotated.
[7/23/2020 11:10 PM] slinkygn
The "fact" of whether something is validly "a museum" isn't up to your dictum. Fact, yes. Unfortunately that fact is dictated by the dictionary and common usage, not your concern about the "lots of people" that conveniently agree with you that it's "junk."
[7/23/2020 11:10 PM] slinkygn
And the funny thing is -- a rose by any other name.
[7/23/2020 11:10 PM] yashsedai
Plenty of people can imagine a functional museum, we just dont have the manpower or the interest
[7/23/2020 11:10 PM] slinkygn
It's a "display", not a "museum"? I'd disagree. But it doesn't actually matter.
[7/23/2020 11:10 PM] yashsedai
i've seen plenty of interesting simple museums for all kinds of things, they had labels, etc
[7/23/2020 11:10 PM] slinkygn
And I'm telling you, people arguing with you make up the manpower and the interest.
[7/23/2020 11:11 PM] yashsedai
an interest of 2 isn't a committee
[7/23/2020 11:11 PM] slinkygn
Would you prefer it called an interactive display? (Interactive, before it was torn down and moved?)
[7/23/2020 11:11 PM] slinkygn
Has more than that. Talk threads bear that out.
[7/23/2020 11:11 PM] yashsedai
i'd prefer to call it a junk pile that random shit gets put in and nobody does anything with except denzuko and that's only after he is forced
[7/23/2020 11:11 PM] slinkygn
It had as much explanation as 99% of the art on the walls over the years.
[7/23/2020 11:13 PM] slinkygn
Look, because you two never played with the C64, or the Pi Amiga emulator, or what have you and never saw anyone else doing it, doesn't mean there's no interest, or that it's a random junk pile, or anything else like that. Nor should it be.
[7/23/2020 11:13 PM] slinkygn
That's antithetical to the space.
[7/23/2020 11:13 PM] yashsedai
Actually, as someone who has had to help clean up the random messes, I'd say I've got a pretty good viewpoint
[7/23/2020 11:14 PM] slinkygn
Yeah, cuz I've *never* done that.
[7/23/2020 11:14 PM] slinkygn
I don't have to like what CA is doing for CA to justify CA's existence. Can we at least agree on that? The measure of the validity of a group at the space is its involvement.
[7/23/2020 11:14 PM] yashsedai
CA has classes
[7/23/2020 11:14 PM] slinkygn
We are clearly differing on the level of involvement that exists for this.
[7/23/2020 11:14 PM] yashsedai
CA has vitality
[7/23/2020 11:15 PM] yashsedai
vcc/computer has none
[7/23/2020 11:15 PM] yashsedai
ca has freaking meetings and active sigs
[7/23/2020 11:15 PM] slinkygn
Yes, and so did Computer. As I posted already. Feel free to cross-check me with the calendar if you don't believe me; I posted the dates.
[7/23/2020 11:15 PM] yashsedai
i did cross check you
[7/23/2020 11:15 PM] slinkygn
There is no VCC. Can you guys get over the past already?
[7/23/2020 11:15 PM] slinkygn
Good. Then you saw those were accurate.
[7/23/2020 11:15 PM] slinkygn
A Raspberry Pi emulation class is Computer. It is *not* VECTOR.
[7/23/2020 11:15 PM] slinkygn
Electromechanical. It's in the name.
[7/23/2020 11:16 PM] yashsedai
except it was taught by electronics people
[7/23/2020 11:16 PM] yashsedai
not vcc/computer
[7/23/2020 11:16 PM] slinkygn
Out of curiosity, which am I?
[7/23/2020 11:16 PM] slinkygn
Cuz I thought I was a *member*. Since when is anyone an "electronics person?"
[7/23/2020 11:16 PM] slinkygn
They were electronics people and computer people.
[7/23/2020 11:16 PM] yashsedai
lol nice try but thats not gonna work
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] yashsedai
people associate with committees
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
Seeing as the RasbPi class had everything to do with software and next to nothing with electronics.
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
Of course they do.
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
MULTIPLE committees.
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
Plural. That's the entire point.
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
David Kessinger taught an auto class.
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] yashsedai
not sure what kind of congitive dissonance it requires to believe that vcc/computer is a committee but ok
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
Did he get fired from Machine Shop chair?
[7/23/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
No. That would be *stupid*.
[7/23/2020 11:18 PM] slinkygn
Heeeey there you went.
[7/23/2020 11:18 PM] yashsedai
ah but you see those both of those committees have space and people that utilize them
[7/23/2020 11:18 PM] slinkygn
I was starting to wonder.
[7/23/2020 11:18 PM] yashsedai
vcc doesn't
[7/23/2020 11:18 PM] yashsedai
it has dwight
[7/23/2020 11:18 PM] slinkygn
It'd been like, what, ten whole minutes since you threw out a thinly veiled ad hominem?
[7/23/2020 11:18 PM] slinkygn
I utilized it. I wasn't the chair, certainly. I saw others utilize it. Granted, I didn't collect names.
[7/23/2020 11:19 PM] slinkygn
I went to meetings under the auspices of the committee. There were others there than Dwight and me.
[7/23/2020 11:19 PM] yashsedai
where are the minutes?
[7/23/2020 11:19 PM] yashsedai
ohhh thats right, you guys couldn't be bothered
[7/23/2020 11:20 PM] slinkygn
Oh, good, I've been waiting for a chance to put on an official sort of hat and tell someone that whoever told them "if there aren't minutes it didn't happen" is utterly incorrect -- not to mention, plainly obviously so.
[7/23/2020 11:20 PM] slinkygn
I've heard a lot of "interesting" takes on parliamentary law as a registered parliamentarian. That one's certainly in the top 10.
[7/23/2020 11:21 PM] yashsedai
tell them all you want
[7/23/2020 11:21 PM] yashsedai
you'll get laughed at
[7/23/2020 11:22 PM] slinkygn
Well, seeing as I'm the professional in that given field, they can laugh all they want. I don't really care.
[7/23/2020 11:22 PM] yashsedai
maybe your not getting it
[7/23/2020 11:23 PM] slinkygn
And if you want Computer's minutes for 2019, you'll find them with 3D Fab's.
[7/23/2020 11:23 PM] yashsedai
haha
[7/23/2020 11:23 PM] slinkygn
Or are we getting rid of that as a committee too?
[7/23/2020 11:23 PM] slinkygn
Right. Poor governance is *another* non-reason for getting rid of a committee.
[7/23/2020 11:23 PM] yashsedai
seriously, you are way out of touch
[7/23/2020 11:23 PM] yashsedai
thats totally fine
[7/23/2020 11:24 PM] slinkygn
Though, again, your standards are super high for a group that's been trying to be given the rights of an actual committee for this long.
[7/23/2020 11:24 PM] slinkygn
Apparently I'm so "out of touch" that you're not there often enough to see me.
[7/23/2020 11:24 PM] yashsedai
heh, must be true
[7/23/2020 11:25 PM] yashsedai
you don't fail to disappoint with the parlimentarian bit either
[7/23/2020 11:25 PM] slinkygn
Maybe you could help me out? I'm looking for the Motorsport committee minutes. Any idea where those may be?
[7/23/2020 11:25 PM] slinkygn
Yeah, I *love* that you think that's an arbitrarily made-up thing.
[7/23/2020 11:25 PM] slinkygn
It's okay. People like you get people like me paid.
[7/23/2020 11:26 PM] yashsedai
oh I know that is not made up, i just don't think it has any bearing on our organization
[7/23/2020 11:26 PM] slinkygn
Even better. People like you get people like me paid *twice*.
[7/23/2020 11:26 PM] yashsedai
to be more precise, your involvement as a parlimentarian has no relevance to DMS
[7/23/2020 11:26 PM] slinkygn
"We don't follow Robert's!" Right? I'm guessing that's your objection?
[7/23/2020 11:26 PM] yashsedai
yes, yes, you think you have some superiority here
[7/23/2020 11:26 PM] slinkygn
Because parliamentary law only applies when Robert's is used?
[7/23/2020 11:27 PM] yashsedai
Didn't say it, just know that YOU have nothing to do with our governance
[7/23/2020 11:27 PM] slinkygn
Because members to a state-recognized corporation don't, y'know, have *rights* which there rules for the protection of have been created in jurisprudence since forever ago?
[7/23/2020 11:27 PM] yashsedai
great, your a registered professional parlimentarian, have a cookie
[7/23/2020 11:27 PM] slinkygn
Oh, I unfortunately do. Since I am, after all, a member.
[7/23/2020 11:28 PM] yashsedai
mmm, self importance too
[7/23/2020 11:28 PM] yashsedai
where is my sponge bob meme
[7/23/2020 11:28 PM] slinkygn
And I, as you everyone else, have a right to my opinion on the space's governance -- including its "interpretation" of parliamentary procedure.
[7/23/2020 11:29 PM] yashsedai
you are welcome to an opinion, but we aren't required to listen
[7/23/2020 11:29 PM] slinkygn
It just so happens that, much like a professional musician could come by the space and tell me the stuff I do in digital media sucks, and they have every right, I can take a look and tell you that your parliamentary "opinion" is a bunch of contrived bullshit.
[7/23/2020 11:29 PM] slinkygn
And you're right. You *aren't* required to listen.
[7/23/2020 11:29 PM] slinkygn
And yet you're still here! Odd.
[7/23/2020 11:30 PM] slinkygn
And, for that matter, the *majority of the voting members of the space* have even listened to me at times! ALSO odd!
[7/23/2020 11:30 PM] slinkygn
That was a fun meeting.
[7/23/2020 11:30 PM] yashsedai
wooo, another cookie for you
[7/23/2020 11:30 PM] slinkygn
Of course, thank goodness, pretty much *no one* listens to you regarding parliamentary procedure.
[7/23/2020 11:30 PM] slinkygn
So we've got that going for us.
[7/23/2020 11:30 PM] yashsedai
that would require that i give advice on it, which i don't
[7/23/2020 11:31 PM] slinkygn
No, just opine on whether other advice is good or not.
[7/23/2020 11:31 PM] slinkygn
Oh, wait, that *is* advice.
[7/23/2020 11:31 PM] slinkygn
Funny how that works.
[7/23/2020 11:31 PM] slinkygn
"It is my opinion that you *don't* have to stop at stop signs!"
[7/23/2020 11:31 PM] slinkygn
Have fun with that.
[7/23/2020 11:31 PM] slinkygn
Here's the magic of it, though:
[7/23/2020 11:31 PM] slinkygn
I don't *want* a cookie.
[7/23/2020 11:32 PM] slinkygn
I don't even want to be *involved* in this stuff. That's why I stay out of it 99% of the time.
[7/23/2020 11:32 PM] slinkygn
Only when something messes with my ability to use the space as a member do I bother.
[7/23/2020 11:33 PM] yashsedai
nobody is messing with your ability to use the space
[7/23/2020 11:33 PM] slinkygn
Beyond that? I'll give my opinion, if asked. Others can give theirs. And, yes, you're right. I *will* think mine is superior. Just like I would sincerely hope that someone with a mechanical engineering degree would think their ability to read a schematic would be superior to mine.
[7/23/2020 11:33 PM] slinkygn
Yes, actually, that particular bit of BS *did* affect my use of the space.
[7/23/2020 11:34 PM] yashsedai
lol i'd love to hear how
[7/23/2020 11:34 PM] slinkygn
It was brought up with regards to a 3Dfab meeting where a vote occurred to do something that someone else claimed "didn't happen" because the minutes weren't submitted in a timely fashion.
[7/23/2020 11:35 PM] slinkygn
The something being leaving a print running, which I only found out was an "invalid" committee decision by reading Talk a good deal later, due to it "never having happened."
[7/23/2020 11:35 PM] slinkygn
Man, Freddy, you like the most *boring* stories.
[7/23/2020 11:35 PM] yashsedai
Yup, i'm that guy
[7/23/2020 11:35 PM] slinkygn
Or maybe you just believe they don't exist. Which is funny, because your track record on that so far, at least with me, seems to be *terrible*.
[7/23/2020 11:36 PM] slinkygn
At some point, you'd think it would dawn on you that assuming that somebody is just making things up wholesale rather than having a *reason* for saying what they say just is not working out for you.
[7/23/2020 11:37 PM] slinkygn
But then, of course, you'd have to admit fault. Not that you've never done that -- but never done that without being brought to it kicking and screaming...
[7/23/2020 11:39 PM] slinkygn
This is why I disengage. Too much "I'm right, everyone else must be wrong." Not enough benefit of the doubt. It's exhausting enough to engage only when it directly affects me and what I enjoy doing at the space. (3D fab, computer committee)
[7/23/2020 11:40 PM] yashsedai
or George, considering the amount of fuckery in 3D fab this year and the haphazard running of the committee... On could believe that Max just made up the rule for the benefit of his buddies
[7/23/2020 11:40 PM] slinkygn
Sure, one *could*.
[7/23/2020 11:40 PM] yashsedai
Either way, it was never documented...
[7/23/2020 11:40 PM] slinkygn
Until somebody on the Talk thread -- a recognized newbie, no less -- stated that he was there, and it *did* happen.
[7/23/2020 11:41 PM] yashsedai
uhuh
[7/23/2020 11:41 PM] slinkygn
...uh, yes. They did.
[7/23/2020 11:41 PM] slinkygn
And for that matter, others were there too and said as much.
[7/23/2020 11:42 PM] slinkygn
I'm not going to defend Max's mismanagement even a little. But that meeting occurred.
[7/23/2020 11:42 PM] yashsedai
whelp, there is that meeting coming up
[7/23/2020 11:42 PM] yashsedai
he can attempte to address it then
[7/23/2020 11:42 PM] slinkygn
Doesn't help my prior print.
[7/23/2020 11:42 PM] yashsedai
i'm sorry you didnt wanna wait?
[7/23/2020 11:42 PM] slinkygn
He doesn't need to address it. It's been voted on and settled. If the board would like to invalidate it, they can do *that* at their meeting. Meanwhile, the opinion of the peanut gallery is unrelated.
[7/23/2020 11:43 PM] yashsedai
it's already invalidated
[7/23/2020 11:43 PM] yashsedai
Erik did so
[7/23/2020 11:43 PM] yashsedai
you know being the secretary and all
[7/23/2020 11:43 PM] slinkygn
Erik held a vote with the board?
[7/23/2020 11:43 PM] yashsedai
Doesn't need to
[7/23/2020 11:43 PM] slinkygn
Yeah, secretary doesn't have the authority to declare any minutes invalid.
[7/23/2020 11:44 PM] slinkygn
Any action to override a committee would have to be of the board. That's the bylaws, buddy.
[7/23/2020 11:44 PM] yashsedai
lol
[7/23/2020 11:44 PM] slinkygn
But you do you.
[7/23/2020 11:45 PM] slinkygn
I *like* Erik. And he worked his ass off. I'm not going to be an ass to him just because he got one thing wrong. And I'm sure at this point, he doesn't even care.

[7/23/2020 11:46 PM] slinkygn
Nothing about the secretary invalidating any organizational documents, including minutes.
[7/23/2020 11:47 PM] slinkygn
Cry all you want, but your interpretations of governance texts are still incorrect.

Hope so, for your sake. Whole big ol' ball of stupid there.
[7/24/2020 5:50 PM] james_david_vance
I've done 16 classes, one session to come up with the challenge for the Hackathon when that was going to be a thing, and the garage sale (Dwight helped with the garage sale) since September 2019. None of that required a committee, except the garage sale, but that was really just solving a problem that wouldn't have existed without the committee. I repeat, here's the solution: work with PR to make a plan to make the exhibit engaging and move it to the new lobby. @slinkygn (George) If there's a way to involve an iOS app, I can help make the exhibit more interactive. Maybe we can do an AR thing? I could just deploy it to the app store. It would be so cool if they could make something happen on one of those machines by interacting with an app!
[7/26/2020 6:33 AM] slinkygn
We could certainly work on making it more interactive. But the core issue here is the Computer committee continuing, not the museum. As I've mentioned, it's not the only thing the committee does. With regard to that topic, I also mentioned that there are very many things that committees do that don't "require" committee status and space. I think it is a bad precedent to talk about them from a context of whether it is "required." By that argument nearly any committee could be turned into a lecture series, which defeats the purpose of the space. The criterion shouldn't be, "is it required?" It should be, "is it enriching?" Does it help that committee educate others on its topic? (This is related to the problem of handing things to an "education" committee - *all* our themed committees are supposed to be educational, as that is our purpose per our charter.) And I think it is difficult to argue that a good many things within computing require hands-on learning to learn best. We should have a networking lab with practice test deployments for various certs by now, just going off the amount of hardware that has gone through the space (and left, for lack of a committee to claim them).
[7/26/2020 7:47 AM] Deleted User
Well sounds like nobody really wants that then. Space isn't unlimited, it should go to committees with tools people actually will use.
[7/26/2020 7:53 AM] Deleted User
"enriching" isn't enough, the criteria should be "is there enough interest for it to be used, taught and maintained regularly"
[7/26/2020 9:06 AM] slinkygn
Other than the people advocating for it? Yeah, I suppose.
[7/26/2020 9:07 AM] slinkygn
And yes, "enriching" is a necessary, not sufficient, requirement. Thing is, there has been better attendance at some of these meetings than at a good number of monthly committee meetings I've seen for most committees (the big ones being the exceptions, obviously).
[7/26/2020 9:08 AM] slinkygn
Again: more teaching classes for Computer with the "Vector" label on the calendar than for Vector itself.
[7/26/2020 9:09 AM] slinkygn
(which is where people straw man to 'Vector does outside stuff' -- yes, but that isn't what "enough interest to be taught and maintained regularly" comes from. Different line item.)
[7/26/2020 9:09 AM] Deleted User
Advocating isn't doing though
[7/26/2020 9:11 AM] Deleted User
It's easy to say oh it would be cool to have a cert lab
[7/26/2020 9:11 AM] Deleted User

Gotta say, George, as much as I think "computer committee"-esque entity *is* "makerspace", given its "hackerspace" roots, ours has not, in my time here, *appeared* to be alive and thriving. Your argument that there were attended events *appears* hollow, as sproinks points out, filled with fluffery. The *feeling* is that Dwight was pumping up his own interest, and claiming thriving events when there were, in fact, no "attendees". The fact that we don't seem to drum up the interest in "computer committee" that, say, VECTOR has, is unfortunate, but never the less, the sentiment/appearance/feeling. (whereas VECTOR, despite demonstrably lack 'meetings' and/or 'events', etc. *appears* to be a thriving, busy, functional committee). I would change that, and would have changed that before Raffi blew into the room if I'd known how/had the time/dedication/etc. I don't, so begrudgingly, I watch as the perception continues, and "computer committee" gets sniped at.
What is your refute for Brad's post on Talk in response to my museum post? It appears he is saying that there IS space proffered for display, but it is in disarray, despite the space having been given over to "computer committee"? Based on this thread, you did not know that space had been "given over", either...
[7/26/2020 11:51 AM] james_david_vance
None of the classes I did were enriched by having a space. Some of them would have been enriched by being able to set up a computer lab ahead of time, which I think will be possible with the new computer lab. I went to one of the lockpicking events Dwight did. It was very well-attended, there were probably 15 people there. So let's give credit where credit is due. But I don't see how having a committee with permanent and exclusive space (as opposed to temporary shared space through reserving a classroom) would enrich classes. I worked with Dale Wheat to procure some STM 32s that he can use for classes and the plan was to have office hours (I believe he was working on a curriculum update, then COVID happened, so we weren't able to implement this) in the computer committee area, but that could just as easily happen without having a committee area. Ooh, this give me an idea. What if people were able to put something like this on the calendar: "I have experience in developing iOS apps. I'll be in the common area, available to assist people from 3-5pm on Sunday" in the form of a calendar entry?
[7/26/2020 12:03 PM] james_david_vance
Actually after thinking about it a bit, I think we support this kind of thing well enough right now. You can just create an event. It would be nice to be able to double-book the common area if two people want to have "office hours" there at the same time but I don't think it's a huge issue.
[7/26/2020 12:10 PM] andrew5152
I think you can simply choose "no room" (or equivalent) since you're not really reserving the common room anyway; just inviting folks to join you there.
Credit where due, the lockpick and attached events were, to all appearances for an outside observer, very well attended, and obviously, outstandingly so. Which made the other events all the more conspicuous for the apparent lack of attendance. (I'm not saying other events/classes were NOT attended, merely that it appears that way to casual observers).
Further credit where due, as far as I know, the classes you put on Raffi were generally well-enough attended, but, as you say, really just need a classroom...

[7/26/2020 12:14 PM] andrew5152
And Dwight's office hours were a great idea, nicely attended to be the best of my knowledge, though the attendance was sequential rather than parallel, but very beneficial to DMS and its members.
His and Laser's and now, the Board's, "office hours" appear to be a great idea, and it would be dandy to coordinate "daily" such for membership onboarding/assistance in addition to any specific committee's needs. Again, not willing to wrangle that party, so I'm just blowing opinion out into the ether.
[7/26/2020 2:05 PM] slinkygn
@A. Spencer(jast) I may have missed your museum post, I guess? My refutation to the idea that there is space offered for display of the museum is that the space allocated in October was the computer lab, and I was specifically told -- in fact, it should be in this channel history, I think; it was on Discord -- that the computer lab is no longer CC space but Ed's space.

@A. Spencer(jast) If VECTOR "appears" to be thriving, busy and functional despite it having no events in the space, what of it makes it appear so? Is it that they show up to Texas Pinball once a year? (like, say, a 2600 event) Or is it that they have space allocated, the space is visible to passersby, and there are people occupying that space and doing things?

Obviously I'd argue for the latter 🙂
[7/26/2020 2:11 PM] andrew5152
I wish I could put my finger on it. Then I could help the computer committee replicate it. I know Dwight worked hard, and I believe it when folks assert that events are attended, but that's not the impression. VECTOR leaves the impression folks are busily hammering away. It might be the TPF... I've seen photos of that, with stuff I've seen in the warehouse in action; not so a 2600 event...

So some more random thoughts on this: There are always going to be more people who want to just work on their project than get involved with community activities, teach or even attend classes. So it's going to be way easier to have an active committee for something like laser, 3d fab, woodshop that have big expensive useful tools, compared to something where most of the activity can be done virtually.
[7/26/2020 2:51 PM] slinkygn
oh, that's funny. He posted photos of the alcove as CC's "space..." and only posted half the alcove. Well, at least I see what he's saying, I guess. That was the old space, that everyone agreed at the beginning of the year was inadequate and needed to change. Of course, right now it also has Digital Media's stuff, on the other side of the room, so it's not like there is much more space than what's visible to put everything the committee has. :/ (edit: this was in reference to jast's earlier comment)

That was the old space, that everyone agreed at the beginning of the year was inadequate and needed to change. Of course, right now it also has Digital Media's stuff, on the other side of the room, so it's not like there is much more space than what's visible to put everything the committee has. :/ (edit: this was in reference to jast's earlier comment)
@slinkygn (George)
[7/26/2020 7:02 PM] judykriehn3727
The "other side of the room" is where there has always been plans to put up a soundproof wall to create an actual studio for Digital Media. As far as I know, that plan has not been deep-sixed. So don't go assuming that was ever assigned to the Computer committee(s). There was talk a looonnnnggg time ago of making the former 3D fab space a computer lab, but that was dropped because of hvac issues in both that room and purple classroom due to the windows being incapable of (a) keeping heat out during summer or (b) keeping heat in during winter. @doug.emes and raffi put up an agenda item to make the former 3D space specifically the computer committee. The board did not support the proposal.
Personally, I find it kind of telling that you are the only one passionately speaking on the issue.
[7/26/2020 7:14 PM] slinkygn
Only here. More voices on the Talk thread. I only assume that not many people can keep up with the pace of posting here. I know I barely can. Don't have that kind of time. I usually just leave the app up on my desktop and catch up when I can. (Plus, what goes for "passionate" around here is pretty over the top, to be frank. Fighting fire with fire here is exhausting.)
[7/26/2020 7:16 PM] slinkygn
As far as the 3D fab space becoming computer lab, "a long time ago" was January -- pretty obviously *after* the big "ultimatum." That's one of those links I posted above.
[7/26/2020 7:17 PM] slinkygn
or about 4 months ago, in "days DMS has been open" time.
[7/26/2020 7:18 PM] slinkygn
And it was tabled January due to expansion concerns and rediscussed in the February BOD. I actually didn't post the 1/2020 BOD minutes, but I can if that'd help.
[7/26/2020 7:19 PM] slinkygn
I get that pre-COVID seems like forever ago, and what happened then is hazy for some.
[7/26/2020 7:24 PM] slinkygn
I was hazy too, which is why I went for the minutes when I started hearing things that were different from what I remembered. I didn't have the timeline 100% right either; thought that conversation had been last year instead of this year, among other things.
[7/26/2020 7:26 PM] slinkygn
On the point, though, if the alcove space was intended to go half to DM all along, then the displayed space is the only space the committee has -- which *definitely* isn't what had been discussed, and is why CC was supposed to get additional storage at the very least. Which would suggest the question, if that's all the space they have how much more organized could the committee's stuff reasonably be intended to get, when everyone already acknowledges that the stuff that would fulfill the original plans for it aren't even in there yet?
[7/26/2020 7:32 PM] james_david_vance
The other half of the old lobby didn't belong to the computer committee while I was chair.
[7/26/2020 7:35 PM] slinkygn
I wasn't arguing that it was. I was arguing that that makes it even more obvious that, as your suggestion to the board stated and as the photo shows, the space allotted was clearly nowhere close to sufficient for the plans for the committee.
[7/26/2020 7:43 PM] james_david_vance
Oh okay. I thought you were. Yeah, at that time we were thinking we wanted to move into the orange room and have a computer lab as our committee space. But as Judy said, Doug, the board, Freddy and Pearce and I had a meeting and they decided to go with a computer lab in the pillar of solitude room.
[7/26/2020 7:50 PM] james_david_vance
I think the networking class thing is the best argument for a committee I've seen so far. But the network hardware would be tools for learning, not for making, so I do see why people are saying it should be under education. If you look at the tools in other committees, they are used for making in addition to learning. You can walk out of 3d fab with something you made with a 3d printer. You can walk out of the woodshop with something you made with wood using their tools. Same for metal, electronics, CA, machine shop and ceramics. There are a few exceptions, like automotive, where usually people add onto an existing thing. Do people leave their pinball machines in Vector, or do those belong to the committee?
[7/26/2020 7:50 PM] slinkygn
Yes, with storage space in there designated for CC.
[7/26/2020 7:51 PM] slinkygn
(in the pillar of solitude room.)
[7/26/2020 7:52 PM] james_david_vance
I think the solution here is to put the server rack into the computer lab and have it managed by education. If someone wants to teach a class, let them set it up for that.
[7/26/2020 7:52 PM] slinkygn
At least that was the conversation I recall back in January.
[7/26/2020 7:52 PM] james_david_vance
That was my impression leaving the meeting with Doug and the board
[7/26/2020 7:53 PM] slinkygn
Let Education set it up for that?
[7/26/2020 7:53 PM] james_david_vance
Let the person teaching the class set it up
[7/26/2020 7:53 PM] slinkygn
Which would mean having it cleared by Ed first.
[7/26/2020 7:53 PM] slinkygn
So how would someone new know that that equipment was available for that kind of use?
[7/26/2020 7:54 PM] slinkygn
Like the equipment that sat around in Science for a year unused and then was gotten rid of?
[7/26/2020 7:54 PM] james_david_vance
Education could make it known
[7/26/2020 7:55 PM] slinkygn
Good intentions have proven not to work in those circumstances before. Especially when there's no particular incentive to do so, nor a mechanism for it. They can't put out weekly flyers saying, "remember now, the servers over there are not building infrastructure and are available for class use!"
[7/26/2020 7:56 PM] james_david_vance
You could put a sign up on the server
[7/26/2020 7:56 PM] slinkygn
Science being one example, and the other being the network rack that even Dwight didn't know was supposed to be for CC's use and so didn't offer any classes with it. (As per the talk discussion.)
[7/26/2020 7:57 PM] james_david_vance
That's weird since me him and another guy moved it from his garage to the computer committee space
[7/26/2020 7:57 PM] slinkygn
The reason people learn to use things in the space is because they can walk up and *use* them, barring any potential for harm to themselves or others. That's always been the goal of items in the space.
[7/26/2020 7:58 PM] slinkygn
To wait for approval and then execution to "set up" a network rack so that the class can then "un-set it up" and set it up again is the sort of thing that'll disinterest people from actually jumping through the hoops.
[7/26/2020 7:58 PM] slinkygn
> That's weird since me him and another guy moved it from his garage to the computer committee space
@DJ Vance You saw the talk thread, you know what he was talking about.
[7/26/2020 7:59 PM] james_david_vance
I haven't seen the Talk thread, I'm banned from member-only threads on Talk
[7/26/2020 7:59 PM] slinkygn
oh, right.
[7/26/2020 7:59 PM] james_david_vance
I can't log in so I can only see the public ones
[7/26/2020 8:01 PM] slinkygn
Long story short, Jim didn't know anybody had offered to teach with it, and Dwight didn't know anyone was looking for people to teach with it despite his having offered.
[7/26/2020 8:02 PM] slinkygn
The sort of breakdown of communication that is predictable when responsibility for and access to/ resources lie in two different places.
[7/26/2020 8:03 PM] slinkygn
oh, that is *cool*
[7/26/2020 8:03 PM] slinkygn
sorry, temporary distraction
[7/26/2020 8:03 PM] slinkygn
that said "authority for," before
[7/26/2020 8:04 PM] james_david_vance
You lost me with "so that the class can then "un-set it up" and set it up again"
[7/26/2020 8:04 PM] james_david_vance
How would that be different when managed by education?
[7/26/2020 8:04 PM] slinkygn
I typed (without extra spaces), " s / authority for / access to /", thinking it would just print that text
[7/26/2020 8:04 PM] james_david_vance
The approval thing is just an email
{Reactions}
😯
[7/26/2020 8:04 PM] slinkygn
but it actually did the regexp substitution
[7/26/2020 8:04 PM] slinkygn
(which ironically reminded me that the terminal "/" shouldn't have been there)
[7/26/2020 8:04 PM] james_david_vance
okay that is cool
[7/26/2020 8:05 PM] slinkygn
I KNOW SERIOUSLY RIGHT

lol
[7/26/2020 8:05 PM] slinkygn
😁
[7/26/2020 8:05 PM] slinkygn
Did it again! 🙂
[7/26/2020 8:05 PM] slinkygn
okay, sorry. 🙂 I'll quit being 12 now.
[7/26/2020 8:05 PM] james_david_vance
never quit being 12
[7/26/2020 8:06 PM] slinkygn
Well. For the purposes of civil conversation. 🙂
[7/26/2020 8:06 PM] slinkygn
To answer your question: it would be different because of the extra steps to do something that would need to be redone anyway.
[7/26/2020 8:07 PM] slinkygn
And as much as I wish it were the case, requesting things is very rarely the matter of "just an email" at DMS.
[7/26/2020 8:07 PM] james_david_vance
Are you thinking that education would require you to undo stuff after your class?
[7/26/2020 8:07 PM] slinkygn
That's the standing end of string of a very very large knot of yarn regarding DMS and new (and existing!) member onboarding.

Nah, not necessarily -- though they might, I suppose. Plenty of hurdles to worry about already without that, though.
[7/26/2020 8:08 PM] slinkygn
It's a bit of the old physics joke re a physics Ph.D. explaining how to bake a pie -- "well, first you create the universe..."
[7/26/2020 8:11 PM] james_david_vance
What would need to be redone? I don't think I'm understanding what you're implying
[7/26/2020 8:14 PM] james_david_vance
What I really don't get is how that would change with having its own committee. I get how different people managing it can make a difference, but calling I don't see how giving it its own committee would make a difference
[7/26/2020 8:14 PM] slinkygn
So beyond knowing that the equipment was available, you'd have to know about Talk enough to be on Talk, and know where on Talk to post that request (knowing that people get dinged in little ways for "misusing" it all the time). You'd have to write up your needs for the class more ahead of time than normal, and your needs might change between then and class time anyway. You'd have to hope that nothing is lost in the communication of what you'd need set up and how -- almost guaranteed to be a false hope, as all that is invariably skewed by how much and what flavor of prior knowledge is held by each person. Then Ed would have to do work for a non-Ed class to set that up, which would fall under whatever priority they decided because lord knows Ed has other committees to worry about too. Then the class proctor could finally get their hands on it -- at which point they'd probably have to set up a significant portion anyway, either because there was an added need based found when fleshing out the class plan or because something was miscommunicated originally. And that's assuming any of those changes wouldn't require, lord forbid, additional approval from the committee you have to get to clear it that still isn't tied to this class and doesn't have to be around for it.
[7/26/2020 8:14 PM] slinkygn
Giving it its own committee is tied to it having its own equipment, which it manages itself.
[7/26/2020 8:16 PM] slinkygn
Not having its own equipment and having to count on something external to use stuff that is core to what it's trying to do is where the hundred tiny hurdles come in, one of which invariably ends up being less than tiny. It's the death by 100 cuts of DMS involvement.
[7/26/2020 8:16 PM] james_david_vance
I think it makes sense for teachers to set it up since they know exactly how they want it to be
[7/26/2020 8:17 PM] james_david_vance
All you would need is an approval email. I guess you and I just disagree about how difficult it would be to get approval to set up the servers for a class
[7/26/2020 8:17 PM] slinkygn
Well, you were saying Ed would set them up, right? I was just going off of that.
[7/26/2020 8:17 PM] james_david_vance
No, I'm saying the teacher would set it up
[7/26/2020 8:17 PM] slinkygn
Class teachers don't come from Ed, as I'm sure you know. They come from the respective committees.
[7/26/2020 8:17 PM] james_david_vance
They come from the membership
[7/26/2020 8:18 PM] slinkygn
Right.
[7/26/2020 8:18 PM] slinkygn
And the classes are tied to their respective committees.
[7/26/2020 8:19 PM] slinkygn
I guess I misunderstood you earlier, then.
[7/26/2020 8:19 PM] james_david_vance
Ah okay
[7/26/2020 8:19 PM] slinkygn
I think I don't know what you meant previously when you said the equipment would be managed by Ed.
[7/26/2020 8:20 PM] james_david_vance
I just meant it would belong to Ed, they would be in control of it. They would be able to modify it if the wanted to, and other people modifying it would need their approval
[7/26/2020 8:20 PM] slinkygn
I'd assume the email isn't just a rubber stamp, but then what are they managing exactly?
[7/26/2020 8:21 PM] slinkygn
It seems much like if Ed was responsible for managing the power tools, just because they can be shared resources used in a class.
[7/26/2020 8:21 PM] james_david_vance
That was confusing on my end, my apologies
[7/26/2020 8:21 PM] slinkygn
No worries.
[7/26/2020 8:22 PM] slinkygn
Tinkering with the stuff that can't hurt you and learning to use it by trial and error has been part of DMS's goal pretty much for the whole time it's been around.
[7/26/2020 8:22 PM] james_david_vance
You can use a drill to make something out of wood, whereas if you want to do a networking project, you have to use your own stuff, but you can learn with our stuff
[7/26/2020 8:23 PM] slinkygn
I don't think "you can walk out with something" is a particularly good criterion for this stuff, either.
[7/26/2020 8:23 PM] james_david_vance
Absolutely I'm all for tinkering
[7/26/2020 8:23 PM] slinkygn
Certainly wouldn't work for VECTOR.
[7/26/2020 8:24 PM] james_david_vance
To be honest I'm confused about vector. Do those pinball machines belong to individuals or to the committee?
[7/26/2020 8:24 PM] slinkygn
But more importantly, it gets to what a makerspace *is*, and that's a longstanding thing in the space too -- insofar as "makerspace" is not the most typical term historically speaking.
[7/26/2020 8:24 PM] slinkygn
Depends on when you're looking; I couldn't speak to now. I know historically it's been both.
[7/26/2020 8:25 PM] james_david_vance
I think we're debating not what you should be able to do at the space, but how it's organized. We both want people to be able to teach classes on networking
[7/26/2020 8:25 PM] slinkygn
Some folks will bring their machine in and donate it, some will "temp loan" it for indefinite periods of time.
[7/26/2020 8:25 PM] slinkygn
There was a big hullabaloo for a while when somebody was teaching language lessons at the space.
[7/26/2020 8:25 PM] slinkygn
Because they weren't *making* anything.
[7/26/2020 8:26 PM] slinkygn
Thing is, "makerspaces" weren't born "makerspaces." They were born "hackerspaces."
[7/26/2020 8:27 PM] slinkygn
From the broad sense of hacking, in the same way you could life hack or whatnot -- exercising the bent for innovation and curiosity to do things and solve problems that you don't necessarily know how to solve from the get-go.
[7/26/2020 8:27 PM] james_david_vance
I know, I actually looked at the wikipedia page
[7/26/2020 8:27 PM] slinkygn
Making -- as opposed to, say, buying -- is definitely part of that. But only part.
[7/26/2020 8:28 PM] slinkygn
Well, I'm glad the Wikipedia page covers that! 🙂 Haven't looked at it in a good long while.
[7/26/2020 8:28 PM] james_david_vance
I think language classes fit into the mission
[7/26/2020 8:28 PM] slinkygn
Despite the fact that you walk out only with knowledge, and not with a tangible thing created?
[7/26/2020 8:28 PM] james_david_vance
Yes
[7/26/2020 8:28 PM] james_david_vance
Just like a networking class
[7/26/2020 8:28 PM] james_david_vance
I think networking classes would be great
[7/26/2020 8:29 PM] slinkygn
Just like a networking class. But also, just like a vacuum forming class.
[7/26/2020 8:29 PM] slinkygn
(for which we didn't actually get hands-on time with the vacuum former.)
[7/26/2020 8:29 PM] james_david_vance
But I'm okay with it the tool being under education since you're not making something with it
[7/26/2020 8:30 PM] slinkygn
I get that. I just don't think it's relevant to where the authority for use of the tool should reside.
[7/26/2020 8:30 PM] slinkygn
I think the reason tools reside where they reside is that the committees they are in reflect the place where expertise over that tool lies.
[7/26/2020 8:31 PM] slinkygn
You don't "make something" with the parts cleaner in Automotive.
[7/26/2020 8:32 PM] slinkygn
But auto guys are the ones that would use (and best know how to use) an automotive parts cleaner.
[7/26/2020 8:32 PM] slinkygn
How to maintain it, how to train on it, how to make sure it lasts as long as it can performing as well as it can.
[7/26/2020 8:33 PM] james_david_vance
Wouldn't you use that to do a project though?
[7/26/2020 8:33 PM] slinkygn
Cisco IOS isn't something I expect each following Ed chair to learn.
[7/26/2020 8:33 PM] james_david_vance
Me neither
[7/26/2020 8:34 PM] slinkygn
Sure you would. And maybe that project would involve making something. Maybe you'd simply walk out with what you came in, but it would be working when you walked out. Either would be OK by Automotive.
[7/26/2020 8:34 PM] james_david_vance
Right, so it's not only used for education
[7/26/2020 8:34 PM] slinkygn
But it can be used by people that know next to nothing about it, for their project, and they would learn how to use it by using it.
[7/26/2020 8:34 PM] james_david_vance
What if Networking Education were a SIG under education?
[7/26/2020 8:34 PM] slinkygn
So they walk out with that knowledge.
[7/26/2020 8:35 PM] slinkygn
Just like they could with a network rack that they could mess around with whenever they wanted, without somebody looking over their shoulder.
[7/26/2020 8:35 PM] james_david_vance
I don't see that being a big problem
[7/26/2020 8:35 PM] slinkygn
And yet it's proven to be in the past already.
[7/26/2020 8:36 PM] james_david_vance
I'm assuming you're talking about a particular chair. Are they still the chair?
[7/26/2020 8:36 PM] slinkygn
I'm not talking about a chair. I'm talking about the network rack in Science.
[7/26/2020 8:37 PM] james_david_vance
Well this sounds like a problem of particular people, not organizational structure
[7/26/2020 8:37 PM] slinkygn
And how, after *weeks* of asking around about it, I realized that out of the thousands of members in the space I was one of *maybe* three people that knew enough of the story of that rack to be comfortable getting authority to use it -- and I say maybe because one of them was no longer a member.
[7/26/2020 8:38 PM] james_david_vance
Maybe both
[7/26/2020 8:38 PM] james_david_vance
I don't know
[7/26/2020 8:38 PM] slinkygn
One of the big rules of organizational design is, if you repeatedly get people doing the wrong/suboptimal thing, you can be pretty certain it's not the people.
[7/26/2020 8:39 PM] james_david_vance
I just think that supporting a networking class could be done well if the equipment belongs to education
[7/26/2020 8:39 PM] slinkygn
I went to all that trouble to find that out about a rack that had been sitting there for a year -- and that last month I was able to find the right people to ask about it was the month it left.
[7/26/2020 8:40 PM] slinkygn
Education will never support something that falls under a fraction of their purview and juggles time with other responsibilities as well as a committee dedicated to that type of thing. Which is why no other such committee-specific items are owned by Education.
[7/26/2020 8:42 PM] slinkygn
Did Tabletop succeed in their bid to become a full committee from a SIG?
[7/26/2020 8:43 PM] james_david_vance
No
[7/26/2020 8:43 PM] slinkygn
Ah, that's a shame. Would've been a good test case.
[7/26/2020 8:43 PM] slinkygn
Do you think if they'd become a committee, Education would have stored the games? Or Tabletop?
[7/26/2020 8:44 PM] slinkygn
*Definitely* not tools used to make things. Sounds like it should be Ed, by your argument.
[7/26/2020 8:44 PM] james_david_vance
I don't know, but it sounds like that has to do with particular people that I don't even know
[7/26/2020 8:44 PM] slinkygn
Not relevant, though, right? It's a DMS committee in this scenario. They should all be treated under the same standards.
[7/26/2020 8:46 PM] james_david_vance
I think education should support people teaching network classes. Maybe they could do a monthly post on Talk with a list of equipment that can be used for classes, equipment that might otherwise not be highly visible
[7/26/2020 8:47 PM] james_david_vance
I think painting figurines falls squarely under creative arts
[7/26/2020 8:47 PM] slinkygn
Which is why I didn't ask about figurines. 🙂
[7/26/2020 8:48 PM] james_david_vance
So we're talking about making tabletop games?
[7/26/2020 8:48 PM] slinkygn
Tabletop SIG didn't just color figurines.
[7/26/2020 8:48 PM] slinkygn
*doesn't
[7/26/2020 8:49 PM] slinkygn
Monthly posts on Talk would mean people would have to be on Talk, and enough to see the one post a month having that info, to know about those materials. It's a small hurdle that also means another few dozen small hurdles, as I covered above.
[7/26/2020 8:50 PM] james_david_vance
Alright well I think I more or less understand your position and I think you more or less understand mine. I like that we were able to have this discussion without it getting personal. I have some stuff I need to do for work tomorrow, though, so I'm going to do that now

[7/26/2020 10:25 PM] andrew5152
just laying my takeaway observation out here:
The discussion surrounding language classes not being making, was honorarium-related. Slippery slopes, dangerous mires, yada yada yada. I'm of mixed opinions on the whole "are networking classes makery enough [to qualify for honorarium]?" question... 🤷‍♂️
gotta say, probably not. but maybe...
[7/26/2020 11:10 PM] slinkygn
I kinda see the slippery slope going the other way, tbh -- though that might not be germane to this conversation, I guess.
[7/26/2020 11:12 PM] slinkygn
The requirement to "make something" isn't problematic just because it's historically not what "makerspaces" nee hackerspaces are about -- it's also because that line can get arbitrarily strict.
[7/26/2020 11:13 PM] slinkygn
Lectury/demo stuff in Science? Inkscape or Fusion 3D classes? You don't make anything tangible in either -- you could argue in the latter that you can use those skills to make something tangible, but not as much in the former.
[7/26/2020 11:14 PM] slinkygn
Auto? Often repair rather than making? As I'm sure you'll recall, that argument was actually used back then.
[7/26/2020 11:15 PM] slinkygn
I would argue that networking can be a making skill just like Fusion 3D can be.
[7/26/2020 11:15 PM] andrew5152
the argument that [things like language classes] should be honorarium was taken to the absurd pretty quickly...thus, the kneejerk "if you don't get to take a tchotchke, it ain't making" counter argument.
[7/26/2020 11:15 PM] slinkygn
In the same way that the lift is, now that I think about it.
[7/26/2020 11:15 PM] andrew5152
you make the solid counter-argument; personally, good with those things you mention
[7/26/2020 11:16 PM] andrew5152
less so with "learn spanish in just 3 easy hours"
[7/26/2020 11:16 PM] slinkygn
You definitely don't make anything by learning to use a lift -- but you use that ability to fix a car. Which is repair... and if that's making, why wouldn't repairing a network be?

(earning honorariums, that is; having the classes, no issue @ all provided there's room)
[7/26/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
I was even willing to extend it to languages. ("Spanish in just 3 hours" would fail to meet the line in my book, but not because of the language -- rather, because of overpromising/underdelivering. Snake oil clause.) 🙂
[7/26/2020 11:17 PM] slinkygn
Skills, in general, can be used in creative ways to do various things that wouldn't immediately be related.
[7/26/2020 11:18 PM] slinkygn
Maybe I didn't use what I got out of the lift class to fix a car. Maybe I used it to fix a hydraulic pump somewhere.
[7/26/2020 11:18 PM] andrew5152
meh.
I think that fails my personal 'contributes to the culture' test, personally. regardless of language or hours in class or how it's billed...
[7/26/2020 11:18 PM] slinkygn
Maybe Spanish helps me take a course unavailable elsewhere on POTS phreaking. Who knows.
[7/26/2020 11:18 PM] slinkygn
Fair, to each their own 🙂
[7/26/2020 11:19 PM] andrew5152
and to be honest (as someone who was initially attracted to the idea of DMS *because of automotive/motorsport*, gotta say pretty much nothing in auto passes the "make something" test, either (which is part of why this slope is slippery, I suppose)
[7/26/2020 11:19 PM] slinkygn
The idea of "hacking" writ large, which I see as fundamental to what we do, is about experiential learning of skills to do things that would otherwise be difficult to do in the "straightforward" way.

And in that general sense, the bigger the toolkit, the more jobs you can tackle.
[7/26/2020 11:20 PM] andrew5152
but what if you used those lift skills to create a mega-bot that went out crushing cars and capturing kids' minds for STEM with its massive hydraulic skillz?"
[7/26/2020 11:20 PM] andrew5152
yeah, I guess...

I wouldn't have thought that learning about craft coffee (not at the space, but well before all this) would've helped me wrap my head around organic chem. But turned out it's probably half the reason I got a B in it. 🙂

Sure, some stuff strains credulity to claim as a "regular" thing. That's the snake oil test. 🙂 But foregoing a specific claim, general "toolkit" knowledge ends up being applicable in some surprising fashions, for just about everybody.

Dwight and I are going to work on making an interactive exhibit with a vintage computer. It's going to be an opportunity for me to learn about Apple's new App Clips (Android already has a similar thing called Instant Apps) https://developer.apple.com/app-clips/
I'm thinking that the computer will be hooked up to a display and there will be a sign with instructions explaining that you can send commands to the computer and providing a few suggested commands. We could also build our own scripts that do interesting, engaging things. There will then be a QR code for the maker to download the app.
In terms of how the commands get sent to the computer, I think we can use Google Cloud Firestore. We can just have one document that has a field called latestCommand. We could have an application running on a Raspberry Pi that listens to changes in this document, and when the latestCommand field changes, it could send that command to the machine, unless we can have an app that runs on the machine itself, which would be cool. We should probably have a list of commands that are acceptable, that way you don't get people deleting files and stuff. If those files are already password protected though, and the app is running on the Raspberry Pi, it might be safe to let people do any command. Might be cool to hook up a speaker to the machine to support the bell command.
Anyone have any ideas or advice for this? Also, @denzuko please DM me your email address so we can get started.

@DJ Vance if your wanting to do some complicated google cloud app for ios only then do an app. Vintage and retro machines just are not going to understand an iOS app as a keyboard and mouse. At best one can run a BBS and terminal emulator, at worst (or more fun depending on pov) a custom rs232 interface would be needed to act as a null modem or serial console.

From the retro machine side, my suggestion is to have an app running on a microcontroller, listen for changes to a document in a Firestore database, then send the latest command in that document to the retro machine. It's very easy to set up an app that gets callbacks when changes are made. When there is a change, you'd have to get the text in a field that has the text that the user sent in from their phone.

[8/26/2020 10:30 AM] james_david_vance
I need some help answering some beginner backend development questions as well as some guidance from the logistics chair.
For the Retro Computer Exhibit, I want to have an iOS app clip. I'll probably do an Android Instant App as well. I think I have to set up a web server in order to have an app clip, since in the documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips/creating_an_app_clip) it says "In addition, you must configure your web server to enable the system to verify your app clips authenticity."
1. I'm thinking that I can just set up a static IP on a device on my home network and set it up to serve whatever request Apple needs it to. I'm thinking I don't need to have a domain name, a static IP will do. Is this correct?
2. Also, I'm hoping I can just set up a raspberry Pi and leave it at the space as opposed to my home network so that the app clip can have less downtime if I move or if I lose power and the space does not lose power. I would hate for there to be a QR code in the lobby that people scan just to get disappointed. Not a good experience. @hon1nbo (k/j/t) exsilium do you think it might be possible for me to do the Raspberry Pi thing and just leave it at the space? I assume I'd have to come up with a proposal or a more detailed plan to see if it would work from a security and logistics perspective. And of course this needs technical documentation in case it needs to be sunsetted or maintained. But is there anything that rules this out right off the bat?
[8/26/2020 10:44 AM] james_david_vance
If this does seem feasible to have at the space (not asking for commitment/approval at this point), I'm thinking I would set it up so that someone could email logistics if they find a bug and they want to fix it, then logistics could give access to the raspberry Pi for them to tinker. Not sure how to test this kind of thing in a lower environment as opposed to prod, but the App Clip server would only be for the Apple requirement, it wouldn't implement any functionality of the App Clip itself (that's handled by Google Cloud Firestore, admin access to which I'd give to logistics, and I'd remove myself as an admin). That way Logistics could facilitate people making changes or completely deleting the whole thing if/when the time comes. And since logistics would be the only admin/owner (I forget what the highest level is in Google Cloud Firestore), control would remain at the space, not in any individual who may come or go.
I figure this is better than me having it at my home network and being the one with complete control over the Firestore database. For one, if one day I become crazy (er), the space has no guarantee that I wouldn't do something completely illegal that could hurt the reputation of the space. Or maybe someone could be at my apartment and think they're pulling a funny prank when really they're messing with content that goes to people who are forming their first impressions of the space. All of that would be impossible if it's completely under control of the logistics committee (or at least it would take bad actors to make it into the logistics committee).
@hon1nbo (k/j/t) exsilium Let me know when you get a chance

[8/26/2020 11:05 AM] james_david_vance
I think I have to change the plan a bit since it seems no one wants to work with me on the vintage computer side. I'll probably just have to emulate a vintage computer instead of having the commands run on an actual vintage computer.

This is a demo I posted of what I have so far. So far it's just an iOS app that can change a field of a document on a server (I'm using Google Cloud Firestore, which is a backend-as-a-service). Firestore structures data in collections and documents, so you have a root collection, and documents can have fields of certain types (String, boolean, number, and a few others). They can also have subcollections, which contain documents, which can have subcollections, etc. I set up rules on the server so that no new documents can be created and no new fields can be added to the document. What's left is the Raspberry Pi implementation which will include the retro computer emulation to process the commands as well as the server that Apple requires in order to have an App Clip.
[8/26/2020 11:11 AM] hon1nbo
If logistics / PR approve the exhibit then we can either drop a pi server or a VM with what's needed at that point
[8/26/2020 11:11 AM] hon1nbo
until it actually becomes a DMS thing though it's not going to be in our server infra for the time being
[8/26/2020 11:12 AM] james_david_vance
Right, I won't be messing with anything DMS until I get approval.
[8/26/2020 11:12 AM] hon1nbo
community-grid like things were unmaintainable in their prior forms; when we get the new server infra running properly I'm hoping to bring that back in a more managed way
[8/26/2020 11:14 AM] james_david_vance
Well that's probably more advanced back-end than I currently can help with, but maybe I'll tinker with that at some point. @Ex Machina I think you were talking excitedly about a community grid thing.
[8/26/2020 11:17 AM] james_david_vance
This would be just a thing in the North Lobby where someone could scan a QR code and get an Android Instant app or an iOS App Clip, then they would be able to send commands via the app to the Raspberry Pi, which would send them to an emulation of a vintage computer, the vintage computer would send the result to the Raspbian installation, and then Raspbian would display the results (with pretty, retro-looking graphics) on a display that the person in the lobby would see.
[8/26/2020 11:18 AM] james_david_vance
The "sending to the Raspberry Pi" would be done via a Python script on Raspbian that would listen for changes to the Firestore document.

but haven't done one on Windows since XP with Nero and/or whatever that executable it was I found in some esoteric "power tools" cache before Microsoft bought them out...
Currently exploring oscdimg, which apparently ships with WAIK win7 and up, but really don't have time to dink just this second, so discovering that is as far as I've gotten...
apparently imgburn also still works... though I never got that to cooperate, either, back when...

email to PR: ```Past CodeLaunch Participants,
This email is going out to a large group who were recently involved with CodeLaunch between 2016 and 2019. That means finalists, sponsors, exhibitors, hackathon teams, etc. The purpose is to enlist your help promoting attendance to our event this Thursday and/or to attend yourselves if you are not already.
To make it easier weve attached a promo graphic and link which includes a FREE access promo code. This link automatically applies that code when clicked. https://bit.ly/3kOiTo0
CodeLaunch has always been an event which is produced collectively by everyone involved. If you are a CodeLaunch supporter, and you have North Texas reach, it is critically important we reach as many possible potential attendees. We have all waged a difficult battle this year and producing CodeLaunch has been one for us. We have 50 exhibitors and about 20 startups including the 5 finalists who come from 3 different states and Russia and South Korea! It will be a shame if attendance is off this year.
Please share this on your personal social media, organizational social media, with other social media influencers, person-to-person emails or even send the graphic via SMS TXT to people who might like to attend.
It will be a safe and fun event and everyone is going to follow the safety guidelines.
Thank you and I hope to see you Thursday.
Cheers,

Alright I have a short C++ assignment i need a tiny bit of guidance on for school if anyone's online. Templates in c++ to declare an array size. It's super easy its just been a couple years for this exact subject -.-

Maybe something like, std::array<int, 3> myArray{1,2,3}

Where param 1 is the value type & 2 is the max size.

Could be wrong since templates are a c11+ thing
[11/16/2020 1:50 AM] hon1nbo
vector would be better for linear objects with no need for templates (though a hashmap tends to perform better overall regardless as of c2011), but I'm guessing if templates are involved there is a reason for it. So a little background would go a long way

`build-essentials` just make sure to do a package update first
[9/9/2021 12:33 PM] slinkygn
YES. Thank you.
[9/9/2021 12:35 PM] slinkygn
`build-essential`. Thank you, you're my hero!

Hey Im new to the computer committee at Dallas makerspace is there anybody around thats interested in working with me and showing me the ropes
[1/14/2022 12:49 AM] denzuko
Sure
[1/14/2022 12:49 AM] denzuko
Og committee chair here
[1/14/2022 12:50 AM] denzuko
DMs are open :)
[1/27/2022 1:51 AM] thelostone20
Ok thanks so what do you guys work on
[2/6/2022 1:48 AM] dinkbatt
currently I'm working on a furby alexa. part animatronic part arduino all in C++
[2/6/2022 1:50 AM] thelostone20
Oh ok thats nice what are you doing with it once youve built it
[2/6/2022 2:05 AM] dinkbatt
it's set up with a photo eye sensor. tuned to the specific shade of blue that the alexa uses on it's led ring when it's talking. it will animate the furby when alexa is talking
[2/6/2022 2:06 AM] dinkbatt
the trick of it is getting the animatronics to work. it's been slow going since it's my first project
[2/6/2022 2:06 AM] dinkbatt
the software is written already, posted up on my github
[2/6/2022 3:20 PM] dinkbatt
what kind of stuff are you working on TerryEB? and/or what is your area of interest?
[2/7/2022 4:30 AM] thelostone20
Sorry about the wait but I havent gotten started on anything yet I do have a lot of plans for creating some things in future but am kinda having a rough time getting started as for my interests regarding technology Im interested in learning coding, machine learning, programming, animation, artistic technology stuff like that
[2/7/2022 4:45 AM] thelostone20
And do you like program your animatronic projects that your currently working on?
[2/7/2022 7:52 PM] jdozer6
I have hypothetical question.
[2/7/2022 7:53 PM] jdozer6
If i have 6 of the same USB device and I gave all devices access to a pool of data. Is there a way to make them all work in one piece of software? If it's software side, I can fix that, but if it's not possible because of hardware I will take the L.
[2/9/2022 3:46 PM] dinkbatt
Hmm, i think I would need more details on what you're working on. Six usb devices can totally be plugged into the same computer. What pool of data? What are the USB "devices" trying to do with the pool of data? What format is the data in?
[2/9/2022 3:59 PM] dinkbatt
getting the programming portion of the animatronics to work is easy peasy. its just a function call to the servo and specify how many degrees of rotation etc. the HARD part is building the joints and arms and such. that part requires back and forth troubleshooting in manufacturing plastic parts etc. I plan on doing it quick and dirty with just a jigsaw and type5 plastic pieces that I cut. doing something like 3d printing would take WAY too long unfortunately.
[2/9/2022 4:01 PM] thelostone20
Oh ok is there any other projects that your working on

Someone in Discord linked to this tweet and I figured I'd take a stab at singing it in my totally not awful fake accent: https://twitter.com/bhilburn/status/971019559095427075/photo/1

@jdozer need more context. What class of USB devices? HIDs Shouldn't matter, USB storage do based on firmware of the device.
[3/7/2022 7:48 AM] jdozer6
We got it figured out! I appreciate it though! Our dev apparently has an extensive hardware background I was unaware of 🤣

WOW.
Bloomberg finally opensourced memray—a new versatile memory profile for Python. Can't way to use it.

this is super neat
[4/21/2022 1:22 PM] hon1nbo
I was looking at this. I'm so familiar with C and only dabble in python as needed, but when I've made some python items it would really have come in handy
[4/25/2022 10:50 AM] aceat64
I can't believe it's 2022, we have Windows 11, and every filesystem dialog box hangs badly if there's a disconnected SMB mount
[4/25/2022 10:51 AM] aceat64
why is this _still_ an issue lol
[5/30/2022 9:52 PM] denzuko
Microsoft reports 1.3 million programmers across thousands of workgroups worked on Windows. Compare that to 15.6k devs on Linux with one benevolent dictaror. So.. Mythical man month rules?

@Denzuko.sdf.org I'm starting to play around with Blockchain dev again. Do you know anyone who has some experience? I'm looking at moralis for a start since I'll want my script to take an action when something happens on chain. Surely one of our members is an expert.
[7/16/2022 6:56 PM] denzuko
Worked with chain link last year and in talks with pinata this year as clients. Yeah think I know a guy who knows a thing or two.
Got any questions?
[11/20/2022 12:20 AM] denzuko
Got a challenge for you guys.
What's a good low power machines to use for a virtual machine farm (xcp-ng for plan9, k9s, and Windows 10 gaming instances) that is not rpi and can run off a 10amp 12gauge wiring without tripping breakers all the time or being more costly than aws at 18 cents a kwh??? Intel nuc, laptops, or something else?
