Domácí EEG
by Jan Krupička 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

Zdravím Bylo by možné se v úterý přijít podívat na vaše EEG, popřípadě s někým probrat možnosti domácí konstrukce? Podle všeho jsem se v jedné hospodě uvrtal do ještě bizardnějšího projektu než je normální. Děkuji Krupička -- Jan Krupička Department of Ecology Charles University of Prague KrupickaJan(a)Gmail.com

Project mailing lists
by George Blackhead 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

Zdar! Dostal jsem napad, ale nevim, jestli bude tak prevratny i v ocich Vas ostatnich... Coz takhle zrizovat (podle potreb akteru) neverejne mailing listy pro zucastnene osoby u jednotlivych projektu? Napada mne treba neco jako: [project]-project(a)brmlab.cz (napr. urbex-project(a)brmab.cz) Tahle adresa by se pak rucne (autor-udrzbar projektu) namapovala na list s adresami lidi, kteri jsou v [interested] toho projektu, pripadne by se jeste jinak prihlasovali, odhlasovali, jen pro potreby mailingu... Prislo by mi to fajn, mit listy pro jednotlive projekty, takze kdyz chci navrhnout treba neco konkretniho vsem zucastnenym na projektu Urbex, napisu jen na urbex-project@brmlab a je to... Co vy na to? Blackhead

Kamerovy system v brmlabu ("oficialni")?
by Petr Baudis 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Ahoj! Slibil jsem si oddychovy cas od brmlabu, zaroven ale citim potrebu jeste trochu konstruktivneji navazat na svuj predchozi mail a zkusit nastartovat to, co jsem navrhoval. Muj navrh je: >> Do verejne pristupnych brmlabich mistnosti oficialne umistit kamery porizujici zaznam z nich. << Objevuji se ruzne navrhy, jak situaci resit - zvlastni mistnost, vsechno (jen svoje!) cenne si odnest, atd. Nektere mi prijdou trochu problematicke, jine zase muzou byt potencialne slozite == zdlouhave na implementaci, a melo by se opravdu neco udelat uz co nejrychleji. Podari-li se implementovat nejake lepsi reseni, jak zamezit kradezim, muzeme tohle mit "vydiskutovane" v zaloze, nebo to implementovat jen docasne, protoze to neni moc tezke zrealizovat. Navrh implementace: Na dverich brmlabu bude jasne viditelne upozorneni o kamerach, primerena zminka bude i na brmlab.cz/place. Pouze obrazove (nikoliv zvukove) zaznamy. Budou automaticky archivovany pouze po jasne omezene obdobi (treba 30d; inventury atd. nedelame moc casto, takze kratsi cas mi prijde suboptimalni). Spravci zaznamu budou zvoleni dva zastupci Rady, kteri budou odpovedni za zajisteni jejich zabezpeceni. (Z toho hlediska treba asi neni dobre je archivovat nekde v brmlabu. ;) Pristup k zaznamum bude mit na vyzadani kazdy, kdo byl v danem casovem okne radnym clenem brmlabu; a to "eyes only" za asistence spravce zaznamu, aby se zamezilo nekontrolovatelnemu kopirovani a sireni zaznamu. Je nekdo, kdo by s popsanou implementaci mel velmi vazny problem? Pokud ano, vidite nejakou cestu, jak ji pro vas prijatelne zmodifikovat? (Podotykam, ze s naprostym streamovanim/zverejnovanim vsech zaznamu asi budou mit vazny problem zase jini lide.) Diky za zvazeni, -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Sick and yet happy, in peril and yet happy, dying and yet happy, in exile and happy, in disgrace and happy. -- Epictetus

lua + C++
by Jakub Marek 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Cau lidi, mam pro vas dve nabidky. Prvni se tyka toho, ze jsem na devfestu mluvil s fuxoftem, ktery poslednich cca 5 let dela v lua a mel tam pomerne pekny asi dvouhodinovy talk ala intro to lua. Zkratka hodil sem s nim rec a byl by ochoten nam udelat nejaky kratky workshop, ale musime si pripravit seznam temat, o kterych bychom radi neco slyseli. Prozatim padli napady jak postavit v lua objektovy model a vzajemne bindingy s C(++). Druha vec se tyka toho, ze od tohohle semestru ucim C++ na Strahove a rikal sem si, ze kdyby o to byl zajem, muzu pripravene materialy pouzit i jinak. Pokud by o to byl zajem, muzu se pokusit nalit trochu toho C++ do brmzajemcu. Kurz, co ted ucim, je urcen pro zacatecniky, cili je to from scratch, neni treba o programovani vedet vzasade zhola nic, byt je to samozrejme vyhodou. Pristi semestr bych mel navazovat kurzem pro pokrocile, ktery uz bude zajimavejsi. Pokud by vas neco z toho zaujalo, dejte vedet. Eremiell

25 Nov '13

Ahoj, jak tak koukam, mam asi vestecky dar. Pred par tydny jsem z nahleho popudu zacal psat povidku, kde mj. vystupuje i obraz neceho jako brmlabu, opusteneho az na jednoho cloveka, se socroomem zabydlenym plysovymi medvidky, kteri delaji, ze vedou rozhovor, diky nekolika kopiim muaddiba (aby se ten jediny clovek, ktery zbyl, necitil uplne sam). Jen jsem to umistil do budoucnosti zhruba za 80 let... (a samozrejme, ten posledni clovek nejsem ja - me alter ego je v te dobe mrtve). J. D.

Ochrana soukromi v brmlabu
by brm zlodej 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Nedavne udalosti dovedly vedeni brmlabu k rozhodnuti nainstalovat smirovaci kamery v brmlabu. Rozhodl jsem se tedy, ze pomohu vsem kdo chteji do brmlabu prijit a zachovat si svou anonymitu. Koupil jsem celovou svitilnu a pridal jsem do ni infra LED svitive diody. Takto hacknuta svitilna zabrani snimani tveho obliceje. Levne smirovaci kamery, ktere jsou v brmlabu nainstalovane nefiltruji infracervene svetlo a misto snimani tveho obliceje budou oslneny svetlem ze svitilny. Svitilnu lze take pouzit proti snimani klavesnice behem psani hesla a tajnych zprav. Celni pas drzici svitilnu lze zkratit a pripevnit na ud v pripade potreby se vymocit. Hacknutou svitilnu lze odeme zakoupit za 200,- CZK nebo 0.01202 BTC. Paypal: http://snipurl.com/brmzlodej Bitcoin: 1BRMLAB7nryYgFGrG8x9SYaokb8r2ZwAsX Kradez neni dobre brat na lehkou vahu, nekdo vas muze chytit. Lovu zdar, zlodej

Fw: [sf-lug] fascinating story: How Munich rejected Steve Ballmer and kicked Microsoft out of the city

It was all a big zoo,” said Hofmann, adding there was no > detailed overview of the hardware each user relied upon or the software > they needed to do their job. > > Without a clear picture of its IT estate, Munich found it was taking too > long to deal with unexpected problems thrown up when rolling out LiMux. > > "If you set up an old PC with the new system you'd start recognising > 'Whoops, that isn't there or there's hardware that needs to be > reconfigured' and at that stage that's clearly too late. You have to know > what's going on before you roll it out." > > "We planned a slow migration, carrying out the migration and the > development of our LiMux client in parallel." Peter Hoffman > > Munich chose to standardise processes for capturing each department's > infrastructure and requirements and for testing and release management, at > the cost of adding several years to the project's completion date. > > "That took a large amount of time to get over these heterogeneous systems," > said Hofmann. > > A single unit was put in charge of maintaining and supporting the LiMux > client, as well as implementing and providing common tools for user and > system management. > > The nature of the project had changed, from a desktop migration to cleaning > up much of Munich's IT infrastructure and the way it was managed – a move > in keeping with the council's motto for the project: "Quality over time". > > In spite of the delay in completing the project, Hofmann said the authority > had always planned to take its time. > > "We never planned to carry out a big bang migration. From the start we > planned a slow migration, carrying out the migration and the development of > our LiMux client in parallel." > [image: LiMux logo] > Munich focused on The IT Evolution as the logo for its custom Linux > platform. > > The time taken to complete the project is one of many reasons that > Microsoft has attacked Munich's move to LiMux.

21 Nov '13

Ahoj, prosím napiště mi (soukromě) zda (ne)přijdete na plánovanou přednášku o reverzování meteosond. Napište rychle, ještě nemám hotové všechny slajdy tak ať se zbytečně nenamáhám, můžu to když tak přesunou na jindy nebo jinam. PS: normálně bych to byl přesunul k sobě domů, ale mám mimo provoz projektor <span title=':(' class='moz-smiley-s2'>:(</span>

Zatracená kasička
by tomsuch＠tomsuch.net 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

BrmBrm, situace ohledně ztracené kasičky mě velmi tíží. Hlavně v tom směru že podobné "náhody" jsou nebezpečné spíše než z hlediska financí tak z hlediska rozrušování komunity jako takové.Zaplať pánbůh jsem se krátce po řešení neztracené Weller mikro páječky rozhodl "nelegálně a bez souhlasu" pokrýt cástečně prostor BrmLabu dvojicí kamer a to i s vědomím perzekucí ze strany rady a některých členů za monitoring bez souhlasu. Bohužel je to ale obrovské množství záznamu k prostudování. Dnes jsem si stáhl data a sbírám psychických sil abych je prošel. Pokud si někdo čirou shodou náhod kasičku vypůjčil a zapomněl na to tak prosím o její navrácení do příštího meetup-u.Pokud se tak nestane, závěr vyplývající ze záznamu zveřejním a oficiálně požádám radu aby s tímto materiálem zahájila oficiální kroky. Za předpokladu že se kasička "zázračně" vrátí jsem ochoten zachovat za jistých pravidel anonymitu dotyčné/ho. Děkuji všem za pozornost TomSuch

Vstupne karty (brmlab + bubenska)
by niekt0 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Zdar, od axa dorazila zasielka vstupnych kariet s logom brmlabu. Graficky sa podla mna viac nez podarili, viz obrazok. Karty maju naraz aj magneticky pruzok aj mifare chip. To znamena ze ich mozete pouzivat ako vstup do budovy bubenskej aj do brmlabu. Cena za kartu je 50czk. Prvych par kariet sa uz rozdalo, kto chce dalsie tak idelane odchytit niekoho z rady, kupit si kartu, nechat si nahrat magneticky kod, pridat mifare ID do brmdooru, a hotovo:) V utorok bude idealna prilezitost, mozno sa vam to podari aj skor. n.

Optika v brmlabe
by niekt0 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Zdar, dnes v noci sme spolu s Harviem natiahli do brmlabu opticke vlakno prepojene na centralne switche v Bubenske. (za co mu patri velka vdaka) Zajtra by sa malo vlakno ozivit, ak by niekto bol doobeda v labe, bolo by to idealne. (!!) Zaroven by som vas poprosil o zvysenu opatrnost pri manipulacii s rackom, nakolko optika tam nie je zavedena kompletne blbuvzdorne. (!!) V praxi to znamena (bude znamenat) zlepsienie konektivity brmlabu v ramci budovy z pochybne fungujuceho 100mbitu (na 300+ metrovom utpcku:) na bezproblemovy gigabit, v buducnosti v pripade potreby viac. Samotna konektivita budovy Bubenskej sa zatial nemeni, ale spoje.net rozmyslaju o dotiahnuti optiky, tak mozno casom. Ak by ste niekto mal kontakty na ludi ktory vedia ktore vsetky opticke vlakna su vedene pod budovou, pripadne komu patria, kludne sa ozvite sukromne do posty. A jedneho dna bude v brmalbe gigabit na 2 hopy do nixu! :) Este raz kudoz Harviemu a spojom. n.

pořízení záznamu beru jako nutné zlo. protože události které se dějí by měli jen za následek totální rozvrácení brmlabu a jeho konec. tohle se dříve nedělo takže se nemuseli dít takové věci jako je narušení soukromí... a tohle je jedna zmála věcí jak se tomu dá zabránit - eleminovat lidi kteří svým konáním a činy rozvrací náš spolek zevnitř. nelíbí se mi to... ale chápu to a vím že tohle zlo (kamery) bylo nutné aby bylo možné eleminovat prvek rozvracející všechno co máme rádi.. ano kamenujte mne.. prostý kalkul - nebýt kamer způsobené škody by dlohodobě mohli být mnohem vyšší (nemluvím o financích či hmotných věcech). tlapka zaznam at si projde rada spolecne
