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 use Plex and would love to learn more about it, and about similar things,
such as Kodi.
I'm also interested in Bitcoin, though, mostly, I want a way to recover the
Bitcoin wallet I created (and lost all info for) a couple years ago.
However, I realized at the time of the last meeting, that Thursday nights
are also open shop night at Worcester Earn-a-bike, which creates a conflict
for me.

I'd be very curious to hear about Kodi.

Before the next meeting suddenly appears and we're scrambling for a topic, is there something that people are burning to know about?
We talked about doing a talk about plex, I'm not sure how interested people are.
Another topic that came up was a talk about setting up a RetroPi system.
Another topic that came up later was BitCoin. Personally I've always found bitcoin an enigma. If anybody in the group understands it I'd love to learn about it and possibly what tools there are on linux for mining and storing bitcoins.
Thanks,
Tim.

Yes please. I need to know about that.
For those who know even less than I, that is
Domain Name System SECurity extensions.

I love both topics... but due to baseball commitments for my son, I can't make the May meeting :(

All three topics are interesting.
Plex holds more interest for me currently as I plan to soon build a new
home NAS for professional, personal and entertainment data. Would want to
include Plex in those plans.
RetroPie is interesting too. Built one with my 10 year old son. He
learned a lot. Dad can still win at Atari Combat. I could bring it and
talk about it, but would likely be a relatively short discussion.
BitCoin for me has less interest. Technically it's harder to mine for
BitCoin prime numbers every month. As a financial currency it is not very
strong, not quite taking the world by storm. I like it's government
independence, but prepper friends prefer precious metals.

I figured some of you might find some use for this. It has some great books in it, including black hat python and teaching your kids to program. $15 for a bunch of DRM free books is hard to beat.
