From the at otherrealm.org Sun Nov 3 19:58:59 2019 From: the at otherrealm.org (Aaron E-J) Date: Sun, 3 Nov 2019 14:58:59 -0500 Subject: [Hidden-tech] Home automation projects? Message-ID: *Home automation projects?* I previously had mentioned my interest in starting a general purpose makerspace; however, if my interpretation of the description of the new makerspace at Mount Holyoke College as being open to the public is correct, this could be used for such a purpose. It is more the creation of groups of people who want to work on things together that I have realized I am more interested in promulgating. I am specifically interested in finding a group of people who are looking to work on home automation projects together. These could be: a more practical version of Roomba that doesn't fill up right away and is not a circular shape, indoor garden systems you grow in your basement in the winter, automated cooking systems, assistive technology things for disabled or the elderly, new IoT (Internet of Things) sensor systems, or something else. The aim is to agree on a project that people are interested in bringing to market and eventually starting a cooperative business on, if and when the project proves efficacious.If you are interested, please, please reply and share what your project interests are! When we find enough people, we can meet up (virtually or in person) and agree on a first idea. We may be able to work on things virtually to begin, depending on what the idea we agree on is. Please subscribe to the Facebook group I made (below) and reply and share what your project interests are! https://www.facebook.com/groups/otherrealm/ and/or you can subscribe to the mailing list: https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/the-other-realm or view the website: https://otherrealm.org (not much right now, more to come) -- Aaron E-J The Other Realm LLC http://otherrealm.org http://theotherrealm.org (Blog) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If your giftee is local, consider a Northampton gift card, available at the Chamber on Pleasant Street. Keeps money circulating through small merchants in the local economy, which is a great benefit as retailers struggle with staying afloat while amazon is snapping up half the country's shopping dollars. If the person is not local, consider checking if their local Chamber has a similar program/ 2. Some of the big chain stores including I believe Best Buy (still in Holyoke AFAIK, but no longer in Hadley) and Target sell gift carts to various chain merchants. Maybe they would sell a VISA gift card. 3. I have received VISA or MC gift cards that had a fixed dollar limit. You might try talking to your cc merchant provider since your bank said no. Or talk to a commercial bank. 4. You could also transfer funds via Paypal (friends and family--no fee), which might be easier and is pretty darn usable. Good luck, and please let us know what your solution turns out to be.

I considered rolling back to Mojave but as a member mentioned it is a major PITA.

It's a manual process. - If you have a pristine and full backup *made with the previous OS*, you *may* be able to erase and install the desired OS onto your boot volume (typically your internal drive), then use the Migration Assistant in that circumstance. - If it's been some time since the upgrade, then *using a third volume*, you can manually install the older MacOS onto it, migrate your data manually from your backup onto the third volume, designate it as your boot drive to ensure everything's working well, then finally erasing your target volume (typically your internal drive) and cloning the working 3rd volume back onto your boot drive. Suggested apps to use are Carbon Copy Cloner and ChronoSync. - 32-bit apps notwithstanding, Macs with rotational hard drives suffer performance-wise under Mojave and Catalina. This would be an opportune time to upgrade to a solid state drive. Your computer will run faster than it ever did before, and SSDs are actually quite affordable nowadays. It's far and away the most common service we perform. For a more in-depth analysis of why the APFS file system (introduced in High Sierra for SSDs, for HDDs starting with Mojave) performs so poorly on rotational drives, check out this article . So why did Apple do this? There are some rather esoteric advantages to the new format, but it was far from necessary to impose it on lower end Macs. The bottom line is their bottom line: they sell more computers if an OS upgrade makes yours slower. It's downright shameful. ? ? ? *Zach Fried* *PeopleFirst Technology* Human-Focused Consulting By Appointment By Appointment: 409 Main Street, Suite 214 Amherst, MA 01002 zach at peoplefirst.tech (413) 461-0617 On Sat, Nov 9, 2019 at 5:12 PM Robert Heller via Hidden-discuss < hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net> wrote: > At Sat, 9 Nov 2019 10:36:39 -0500 Rebeca Schiller > wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > I'm new here and this is my first post/reply.

We tried to help with retrieving another Gaia victim's domain but theirs was not in their name so they had no recourse. As long as your domain isn't private, you can see the owner and admin email by entering the domain here: https://www.internic.net/whois.html If you are the domain owner, you should ultimately be able to get the domain back but it may take some time. Gaia is a top level registrar, right under ICANN, so you could try contacting them. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/customer-support-2015-06-22-en It would probably be a good idea for someone to organize a class action suit, then you'd have more leverage with ICANN. This will probably take time so I do think you should register a new domain. We offer domain names for $12.95/year. As far as the website, if it's an HTML site or a WordPress site with admin access, we should be able to retrieve it without having access to the Gaia control panel, and we'd be happy to host you for free for the first three months.

It says that domain registrar is Wild West Domains, LLC . Their customer support number is (480) 624-2500. I suggest that you give them a call. Or better yet, if you have your username and password, login to the site and release the transfer lock and turn off any privacy settings. You should then be able to authorize the transfer. I?m not sure what Gaia Host is talking about. Someone else on this list might be better able to answer that. I?ve never heard of a domain registrar forcing clients to go to court over domain transfers. What exactly did they say? What is their reasoning? It looks like Gaia Host is shutting down, or has shut down and they?re asking everyone to move their sites to BeCooperative. Anyway, if you want your site up on a different host quickly, you can login to your registrar and change the nameservers to point to your new host. No need to transfer. Your current nameservers are listed on ICANN - just plug in your domain name and you find all of your relevant registration info.

At the time, CAT-6A was state of the art (it can do 10 gigabit ethernet) - for copper, CAT-7 I believe is now the standard. So for starters, use CAT-7. Even if you don't plan to run ten gigabit tomorrow (though a cheap Buffalo unmanaged switch eventually made that viable for us), it doesn't cost *that* much more than using CAT-5, and you won't regret it. One thing I thought about doing and now regret that I didn't do was to run fiber everywhere while I was doing that - in addition to be pretty permanently future-proof, it has uses with, for example, doing long USB-C runs (would have been useful since my desk is in the middle of the room, and I don't really want to have to keep the computer physically located at the desk). Other suggestions: - Keep network cable runs away from the romex that runs household wiring wherever possible - the romex will induce current in the network cables and degrade performance - Get a good network patch bay compatible with CAT-7 - these are cheap - Get a good cable tester, and test every run as you do it - If you plan to run anything that generates heat in your network closet (say, a server or NAS - or even a switch will likely also generate some heat and have a fan, but at least in my case, it hasn't cooked itself yet), make sure the space is adequately ventilated (if there are AC ducts nearby, you can find someone - I can give you a number - who can do the math on the size of openings you could cut in a send and return duct to cool an enclosed closet) - Get a good label maker, and label every cable with TWO LABELS a few feet apart - this saved my ass after someone thought the piece of cardboard I had all the numbered runs on my patch bay written on was trash and tossed it Mesh networking is great, but if it can be wired, it should be wired - much more reliable, not interfered with by household appliances or construction equipment nearby, etc. -Tim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As far as I can tell I can't do anything without an authorization code. I have spoken with our current host, Hostgator, and they gave me those two options that I mentioned. My intention is to migrate the website over to Dreamhost to save a tremendous amount of money that I pay for security with Sitelock. I suggest that you give them a call. Or better yet, if you have your username and password, login to the site and release the transfer lock and turn off any privacy settings. You should then be able to authorize the transfer. I did call Wild West domains and I see that aside from myself they said the same thing to another person on this listserv, that they can't do anything about it. I'm not quite sure I understand what you are referring to here since I don't actually have an account with Wild West Domains, but what I will do is pass this on to my volunteer IT team and see if there is something here that we haven't already done. I had an issue with Be Cooperative as far as transferring the domain, and they sent me back with a ticket to GaiaHost, which makes no sense because they seem to have shut down and they're not in communication. It says the ticket is being processed but it's just an automatic response and obviously nothing is going on there. I was reluctant to transfer my domains to them, because they didn't want to do it unless I was going to stay with them and they also want to host you. I decided to consider that until I found that the telephone number and all kinds of other things weren't following through. They don't seem to be quite established yet in a way that is inspiring confidence. Thanks again, I appreciate any further advice that I receive here on the listserv.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Joanna, I'm guessing you're not talking about the remineralize.org domain name, as that's held at Wild West Domains (which is a white label of GoDaddy). If it's a different domain name that's held at Gaia, then your best bet is to "order a move to BeCooperative", as outlined on this page: * https://gaiahost.coop/help#status There are three links you need to click through to finally get here: * https://be.coop/account/cart.php Once the domain is moved there you can do whatever you want with it.

WordPress is easy to copy with a plugin, HTML is easy to copy with a program that downloads the website to your computer and then you can FTP it up to the new server. Other platforms would require more research or someone with expertise in that platform - if it's a PHP based site, that's pretty much impossible without access to the server so you can grab the content but then you need to rebuild the pages. The one person I worked with didn't end up owning the domain themselves so they went the route of getting a new domain name. They had admin access to their WordPress site so we were able to grab the site using a plugin called Duplicator. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that it would help to get together with other victims as a class action suit, and also to demand help from ICANN which often doesn't get involved in these sort of issues, hopefully that's not true in this case. The benefits of a class action suit are that the costs are spread amongst a large group, and a large group has a lot more clout than an individual or small company. Best of luck!

We haven't been able to download it on to my computer or a hard drive, because it is huge and we have tried everything including SSH. (not that I have any idea what I'm speaking about) Perhaps Sean on our IT team can speak to this. I was just going to have Dreamhost migrate it and hope for the best. We have a research database and it's just a very large site. Thanks for letting us know about the plug-in Duplicator.

It should apply, but Gaia?s setup was criminally bad?literally, I believe. I would urge anyone to get in on a class action suit if that arises. The domain names should never have been registered in Gaia?s name, and releasing the domains for transfer should not require manual processing by Gaia. The customer is supposed to be able to orchestrate this on their own. I am dismayed to hear your experience with Be. It shows Charles did not plan this out with them. My clients asked for authorization codes to transfer before the deadline, and Charles never complied. We?re hoping the Be migration will actually work, and that we?ll have proper access to the domain registrations afterward. Based on your experience, I am not too hopeful. It may be prudent to begin setting up an alternative website with a new domain name. This is what I have suggested to my clients on Gaia, even while we pursue the migration to Be.

In-Reply-To: References: <32C7146F-0701-42E1-870C-7B5CA0D90979@hungryghostconsulting.com> Message-ID: Hi Greg, I believe that my domain is registered with Gaiahost, but not owned by them. But now I understand why my IT volunteer Sean was surprised when we went to the account and there was no way to get the authorization code. He said that normally it's available in the account and not a problem to go ahead and use it. It's amazing to think that I didn't need the authorization code for literally decades until the situation with the performance issues that I currently have with the website. I have had Hosttgator all this time and I moved it (unsuccessfully since I didn't have the authorization code, but had to pay $90 for the month) from the baby plan temporarily to a VPS until I could get it over to Dreamhost. I had it for a month and couldn't do anything with it and then canceled it so I'm still on the baby plan with the website functioning very poorly. So poorly that I have been hesitant to reach out to potential donors until we get the website working properly. A question: Hostgator said I needed to take Gaiahost to court and I thought it was about the issue of getting authorization through the court process? That's why originally I thought of Small Claims Court, just to get some legal document that would allow me to give it to Hostgator or Dreamhost. But it sounds more complicated than that. Has anyone been successful with transferring their domains to Be Cooperative? I would like to speak to them and perhaps try once more to do that. Thank you all for your guidance around this issue!

I would not want them to hold onto my domain and so they are not interested, since I'm also not interested in having them host. I explored the possibility of having them host, but their telephone number led to nowhere and various other indicators did not inspire that. Against my choice, they sent me back to Gaiahost. My understanding is that nothing will happen there, you just keep getting auto replies that it is being processed, but that's not the case. I did receive communication off thread from someone who has had success by filling out a form with Wild West Domains and I have done that, but it seems the process takes a couple of weeks. I did share information about that here on this thread. I will get back to everyone when I see how that goes and meanwhile I have a new domain and will clone the website so that I can launch my fundraising campaigns on a website that is performing well. I would like to thank everyone so much for their concern, advice and suggestions! It has been very heartening, especially to look like I have finally found a solution and as soon as I see that is the case will share the good news with everyone.

I've handled over 2,000 domains in that time, while a fair bit for specialty reseller, not many for some. (And for haha' note I registered by first domain in 1992, went you had to call UUnet for uucp email. Before I start, please no more odd posts about this to HT -- email me offline and I'll summarize, While important, this is a specialty issue and more then most want to hear about. Ok, back to the current issue: 1) Be.com IS gaia host -- if there is any question, ??? see https://www.coop/whois/?ds=be https://www.coop/whois/?ds=gaiahost 2) Their 'official' statement is at: https://gaiahost.coop/help#status Many months after the issues started NET-NET: I suggest against using their form, it's time for them to stop. 3) About your domain: look here to start: https://lookup.icann.org/ 4) The official policy about recovering domain registrations are here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/lost-domain-names I could not find any simple process at godaddy.? If they were done via Wild West Domains, Look here: https://www.wildwestdomains.com/#/policies Might be of help SO to figure this out, ????? start by checking your domain at Icann: ??????????????? for when it exprires,? who the registrar is, and if the owner is shown. These all will help determine the next steps. Also, look at your hosting situation. The quickest solution ? Get a new, similar domain - select a new hosting company do a screen scrape the best you can, And continue pushing Gaiahost for transfer info. I aim to collect the various experiences with Gaia and will make a summary info post at HT web site.

Message-ID: Hi all, I'm late to the party, but I do have a little more information to share on the Gaia Host issue. I've had several clients who have recently wrestled ownership of their domain names back from Gaia Host. First - as far as I know, Gaia Host has never been a top-level domain name registrar. They were a reseller for GoDaddy. I believe they had a white-labeled GoDaddy reseller account, but then let the reseller account lapse - so that's why some people have noticed that their domain registrar has mysteriously changed from Gaia Host to Wild West Domains. Wild West is simply an alias for GoDaddy's reseller division. Two of my clients have managed to transfer their domain names to their own registrar account in recent weeks. They both had success with the same method: they called Charles Strader Sweethill at a phone number I dug up from the depths of the Interwebs and told him they were considering legal action. In both cases, Charles unlocked the domain names and sent them the authorization code within a couple of days. (One of them actually got an email within half an hour of leaving a voice message.) I hesitate to share the phone number publicly because I don't feel comfortable with doxxing - but perhaps you can do your own Googling or write to me privately. It's really sad and unfortunate that a formerly reliable local company has disintegrated in a way that's left so many clients in a tight spot. I don't say this to make anyone feel embarrassed, but - please, please always register your domain names yourself, in your own name and with your own contact information! If you rely on your Web designer, your brother-in-law, or your dry cleaner to do it for you, they may drop the ball at best, or at worst, purposely hold your domain name hostage. It's a giant pain in the neck, and I've seen it happen to far too many clients. -Anne -- Anne Campbell (she/her) info at annecampbelldesign.com https://annecampbelldesign.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
