Re: [Wlug] Topics for next meeting
by Richard Klein
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.

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.

Reminder! WLUG April Meeting tonight! Topic: GlusterFS
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
Don't forget we've got a meeting tonight!
Time: 7pm
Location: WPI Student Center Rom 331 (mid Century Room)
Speaker: Tim Keller
Topic: GlusterFS
GlusterFS is a distributed clustered file system that lets you take a whole
bunch of servers and combine their storage into a single large file system.
Snacks and Refreshments will be provided. After the meeting we'll head
down to Tech for some pizza!
Thanks,
Tim.

Reminder! Meeting tomorrow! Apr. 13th, 2017! Topic: glusterfs
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
Tomorrow we've got a meeting!
Time: 7pm
Location: WPI Student Center Room 331
Topic: glusterfs
What is glusterfs? It's a distributed clustered file system. I recently
did a talk about GFS2 and while interesting, it requires centralized
storage, a knowledge about stuff like iscsi, etc. It's a beast to setup
and isn't that flexible.
glusterfs is a different animal. It's a flexible overlay filesystem that
let's you take a bunch of basic servers and cluster them into a big
homogenous filesystem. If you have four systems, each with 4TB worth of
disk, you can make yourself a nice 16TB filesystem, or you can setup an 8TB
filesystem with mirroring that spans all the machines or a couple of
filesystems that do both depending on your needs.
What's great about glusterfs is that it sits atop an existing filesystems
on the machines and uses TCP to communicate with both fs clients and the
node members. It also has a built in NFS server that allows it to be used
by other non linux machines.
As usual there will be snacks and refreshments and afterwards we'll head to
tech for pizza.
Thanks,
Tim.
