Projects
Mirror
Introduced new members to the mirror project. Working on an architectural refactor (currently unpublished) to improve readability and maintainability. Installed a jenkins instance to hopefully do automated CI/CD builds and automated integration testing in the future.
Server Room
Cleaned up clutter from the server room with help from new members. Introduced new members to the server room and taught about the layout of our network.
Second Floor
Helped clean up second floor and make it almost suitable for human consumption. Working on setting up a VPN to tunnel the room into COSI's network.
Clearpath Husky
Reinstalled ubuntu and ROS on the husky, and got it running with help from Aedan. Currently only runs teleop, but has the sensors to do autonomous navigation if someone were interested. The desktop in the back of the lab also has an ubuntu install set up with Clearpath's tools for controlling the robot.
Phones
Definitley didn't disconnect an ATA from OIT's network (it's ok they were chill about it, it wasnt in use anyways).
Talks
ifupdown Misconfiguration
Gave a short talk on an omission in Debian's ifupdown docs that lead to abysmaly slow boot
times.
Intro to GnuPG
My (second) favorite CA stopped offering free S/MIME certificates, so I gave a talk on GPG/PGP. I
discussed generating keypairs with gpg and publishing keys.
