Hi everyone! It was sitting on the shelves for quite a while, but now thanks to the heroic efforts of Richi235 and Glaxx, we have a new eletronic lock! Basically, in addition to the hopefully known way to buzz yourself through the downstairs door, you can now unlock the (upstairs) office door _exclusively_ with a personalized token that you submit to an HTTPS endpoint available on the local network. This means you need to carry some device that can connect to the local network! We're not exposing the endpoint as onion service, since we don't want people to accidentally (or deliberately) open the door remotely -- we want to ensure some kind of physical presence. We had to exchange the lock, so please, if you have an old physical key, give it to some Berlin people or bring it to the Tor developers meeting and pass it directly to me. As of _today_, you will not be able to open the door with the physical keys. We reused quite a bit of code from our Augsburg hackerspace, so there is even an Android app that you can use to unlock the door. [At this point we don't know if it actually works, as it might rely also on a working SpaceAPI that returns the door state, which we don't have yet.] Code: https://gitlab.glaxx.net/glaxx/onionsphinkter/ Android App: https://github.com/openlab-aux/sphincter-remote/releases The idea is that in addition to your own personalized token, "regulars" will be able to hand out tokens with expiry date to guests. At the moment, only I can add tokens to the database. I will now go through the list of subscribers and only send tokens to people who I believe are currently using the space at least from time to time. I don't have very good visibility into who is actually using it, so if there's any people that I forgot about, please let me know. There's a lot of cool features we could build on top of this. For example, we should combine the buzzer and the upstairs lock into one interface, and add a UPS, but for now that's two separate pieces of infrastructure. There's a bug tracker to collect ideas and todos for the space: https://issues.techcultivation.org/projects/cct-orga/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&s... [Fallback: Juris, Ximin, and probably Tomate will have the 3 physical keys that exist for the new lock.] -- Mo
