Next Meeting May 10th 2018 Topic: TBD
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
Our next meeting is May 10th, 2018.
Topic: To Be Decided
If there's something someone would like to talk about, let me know and
we'll set it up.
Here are a couple of ideas:
1. Digital Ocean Cloud Droplet stuff (possibly around hosting wlug mail)
2. Configuring MFA authentication on SSH.
Beyond that we'll likely talk about when we'd like the BBQ and other stuff
we'd like to talk about.
Later,
Tim.

Re: [Wlug] Digital Ocean
by Chuck Anderson
This looks cool:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-run-your-own-mail...
I would prefer if there was a turnkey solution for Mailman 3, Postorius, and Hyperkitty. I had played around with those a bit several years ago when they were new.
Hyperkitty allows participation in the mailing lists via a web forum interface.

I've got my mail hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet and I'm very
happy. For approx $72 a year I get a full Linux system with 1gb of
RAM and 20gb of SSD storage. Plenty for a mail/web hosting setup for
a small family site.

Digital Ocean
by Tim Keller
Hey Guys,
One of the podcasts I listen to "Linux Unplugged" has a promo for "Digital
Ocean" that gets you a $10 credit to go screw around with stuff
I just spun up a CentOS box and I've been poking around. It looks like it's
QEMU/KVM on the insides...
Later,
Tim.

Great meeting last night!
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody,
Last night's meeting was fantastic! It's always great to get a full house!
For those of you who were unable to make it, there were a number of
fantastic mini talks.
Login gave a great 15 minute rundown regarding the "audit2allow" tool to
generate selinux rules.
Login then proceeded to show how SElinux is running in lots of places...
and then SSH'd into his phone to show that it was also run SElinux. kudos
on the sshing over bluetooth from your laptop... that was cool.
Greg then gave a great demo on a very lightweight security oriented linux
called "Heads" (as opposed to the more well known "Tails" distribution.
What was more amazing was that he was running it on a pretty old laptop and
it was zippy... Though their support for mirroring displays could be a bit
clearer! It was really impressive what you can do with a two core pentium
laptop and a usb stick!
Lastly, Chuck showed off Qubes. While the install didn't finish until we'd
come back from dinner! Chuck was able to talk about the idea of separating
applications into different Xen domains. It was really cool. Though we
talked about this at and after dinner... I'm fearful that Xen is going the
way of the dodo... I wonder if in the future the Qubes people will support
other hypervisors.
Thank to Login, Greg and Chuck for presenting and thanks to everybody for
turning it into a lively and interesting round table discussion.
Later,
Tim.

I can try to get Qubes working again on my laptop. I kinda doubt it would work as a VM since it is based on Xen VMs itself.

WLUG Meeting Tomorrow! Topic: Security Oriented Linux
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
Our next meeting will be April 12th, 2018.
Time: 7pm
Location: WPI Mid Century Room rm 331
The topic of this meeting will be Security Oriented Linux(s). In short
these are versions of linux that attempt to harden your machine through
encryption, process isolation, etc. and obscure your access to the internet
using proxies and tor.
This will include Tails, Kali, Whonix, Qubes, etc.
If you are using one of the above, drop me a quick line.
Otherwise, I'll be running a few of these as VMs on my machine.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head off for
dinner and keep the conversation going.
Thanks,
Tim.
