Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

I could possibly whine and complain about virtsh tools from the CLI...

I'm working nights now, so I'm not sure I'll be able to make next meeting.
Any of the topics work for me, but I have an immediate interest in
virtualization.

I'd be willing to give a talk on Linux virtualization beyond Virtualbox if
anyone's interested. I've been running a CentOS-based virtualization server
for a while now, so I could talk a bit about that.

Topics for upcoming meetings!
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
After last meeting, we were sitting around and started brainstorming some
ideas for upcoming
meetings.
Here were some of the ideas that came up...
- 2 factor authentication
- Full disk encryption or partition encryption with luks + ubee token
- Personal rpz
- Home automation with Raspberry pi
- Ansible and/or other automation / configuration tools
- git methodologies, i.e. now that you've got git, how to use it effectively
- Modern Linux kernel compiling for fun and performance!
Suggestions? Let me know!
Thanks,
Tim.

Reminder: Meeting Nov. 10th, 2016, Key Signing!
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
We've got a meeting today on the 10th. Long time member Eric Martin is
going to be hosting a key signing!
Location: WPI Rec Center (RC61) "Class of '61 room" (Top Floor)
http://maps.wpi.edu/map/?id=609&mrkIid=65287
Date & Time: Nov. 10th @ 7pm
Excerpt from Eric:
Hey all,
Sorry for the (amazingly) late details on this.
I will be hosting a key signing party tomorrow for WLUG. What is a key
signing party you ask? A key signing party is where people get together in
the real world and verify each other's identities so we may communicate
securely in the digital world.
*What do I need to do beforehand*
Before the party, please email me your *FULL* PGP KeyID (gpg --fingerprint
${EMAIL} )
gpg --fingerprint ejmartin2(a)wpi.edu
pub 4096R/C704B30F 2013-06-29 [expires: 2017-09-22]
Key fingerprint = C74F 1EBF 2E80 7984 8CB5 064E BF17 D34C C704 B30F
uid [ultimate] Eric J. Martin <eric.joshua.martin(a)gmail.com>
uid [ultimate] Eric J. Martin <ejmartin2(a)wpi.edu>
uid [ultimate] [jpeg image of size 32747]
sub 4096R/A294DC22 2016-04-16 [expires: 2018-04-16]

sub 4096R/B1892A10 2016-05-11 [expires: 2018-05-11]
and I will include you in the listing. Please also send your key to If you
aren't able to send me this, please bring 10-20 copies of your full
fingerprint to hand out to people. * If you do not have a key already, *you
can create one. There are plenty of GUI tools for Windows, Mac and Linux,
I prefer the CLI though. *gpg --gen-key* will get you started. I prefer
RSA keys 4096 bits long, but you can do otherwise. Do not use anything
under 2048 bits in length.
*What do I need to bring*
1. Yourself
2. A copy of your key's fingerprint to confirm the copy we'll be
distributing
3. A government issued photo ID
You can find details at http://wlug.org/keysigning/ (just send the keys to
eric.joshua.martin(a)gmail.com)
If you come out to dinner tomorrow, ask me about RAID 6 arrays losing 4
drives at a time ;)
As usual Snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll be
heading down to Tech Pizza to keep the nerdiness at full power.
Thanks,
Tim.
