Full Home folder
by Richard Klein
I found today that my Home folder is full. The culprit seems to have been
a roughly 1/2 terabyte .xsession-errors file. I deleted it, but 'emptying
the trash' didn't seem to be clearing any space. I found that everything
I'd thought I'd deleted recently seemed to still be sitting in
$uname/.local/share/Trash. I selected everything in that folder and typed
shift+delete. Now nothing shows in the Trash folder, but my Home folder is
still full. I rebooted, and that's still the case. What now?

IMPORTANT: WLUG Mailing List Move Complete
by Chuck Anderson
By now everyone should have received a welcome message from the new
list server, wlug(a)lists.wlug.org, along with instructions for setting
your password. I'm still working on getting the archives moved over.
Please use only the new list address wlug(a)lists.wlug.org to post--if
you use an old address you'll get a reminder to use the new one, at
least until a few weeks from now when the old server will have to go
offline.
I'd also like to thank our generous host http://mailman3.com for
providing our new mailing list and Hyperkitty web forum free of
charge.
Thanks,
Chuck

IMPORTANT: Upcoming WLUG Mailing List Move
by Chuck Anderson
After 18+ years of the WLUG mailing list being graciously hosted on
the WPI campus network at no cost to WLUG, we must move to an external
mailing list host as WPI prepares to shut down its Linux email
infrastructure after moving to Microsoft Office 365 in the cloud.
Phase 1 begins Monday, July 23, 2018, but the shutdown for third-party
domains like wlug.org is planned for mid- to late-August.
Luckily, we have a new sponsor who has generously offered to host our
mailing list at no cost on Mailman 3 with Hyperkitty! We are
currently setting up the new mailing list and working out the details,
but I wanted to send out a "heads up" message to everyone before
anything changes.
The plan is to set up the new host in parallel with the existing host,
but this necessitates a change in the mailing list address. I also
plan to copy the existing subscriber list (and archives if possible)
over to the new list, but if that isn't possible I'll let everyone
know.
More details will be coming soon. I'll also update the WLUG website
http://www.wlug.org/ with the new mailing list details when we are
ready, so watch that space in case we lose the ability to send to the
old list! Worst case, we have the subscriber list backed up and could
send an email to everyone individually if it becomes necessary.
Thanks,
Chuck

TinyArcade and Arduboy
by Dennis Payne
I've been playing around with the Tiny Arcade by Tiny Circuits. It's
been a lot of fun programming. The initial development of Color Monster
is documented here:
http://identicalsoftware.com/games/colormonster
The new Pocket Arcade has me really interested but it isn't available
yet.
I stumbled across the Arduboy. (Stumbled again? I'm pretty sure I saw
the kickstarter and decided against it.) Does anyone have one? What do
they think of it? I think it isn't quite what I want for a system.
Seems like it can be annoying to upload a new game onto the system.
While I had fun with the TinyScreen Video Game Kit, I like the microsd
card of the Tiny Arcade so you can have multiple games available.
