Hey Gang,
I hope everybody is staying safe and healthy. While Linux doesn't need
virus protection, we do. Wash your hands you filthy animals.
As the subject reads, we're going to be doing the WLUG meeting online.
I've been active in the wlug-ma irc channel as have others.
What do people think about Jitsi for doing a video meetup?
Refreshments will not be provided and we won't be going out for dinner!!
Stay home, stay safe and I hope we'll all get to see each other soon.
Later,
Tim.

I figured we all like good books for free. The days are off by one (DevOps Handbook is today) and on all of the platforms.

(PS - moderator, please ignore my last post from the incorrect
address...doh! sorry.)
LOL Chuck. That's not very nice, but...funny! :P
Sorry to hear you are stuck with Windows 'cause of "the man". Haven't
used it for a rather long time now, so I dunno if these still even
exist, but mIRC I think was the last I used (before that Pirch rings a
bell).
There are great Web-based interfaces if you are maintaining a server
somewhere - my favorite there is the node implementation called "The
Lounge". https://thelounge.chat/docs Nice thing is it'll stay connected for
you so you won't miss messages.

We should definitely talk about the huge flaw that was just found the CSME
on intel cpu's from the last five years and how intel has admitted it's
entirely unpatchable...

I'm cancelling the physical WLUG meeting for March.
WPI just put out a notice that they're closed for all events/meetings and
I've been contacted by several members that they're going to be staying
home out of an abundance of caution or they're under the weather...
I'll be in our IRC channel tomorrow night and we can continue the fun
online!
Hopefully things will calm down for April.
Stay safe.
Tim.

Hey Everybody,
We've got a meeting!
Date @ Time: March 12, 2019 @ 7pm
Location: WPI Student Center Rm 129 (Chairman's Conference Room) at the
bottom of the stairs.
Topic: TBD but I thought we might talk about subsonic and plex.
I guess we should also talk about people working remotely and the
technologies that exist on linux for remote desktop access as well.
Refreshments and snacks will be provided and we'll head off for dinner
afterwards.
Sorry for the last notice.
Later,
Tim.

Hello,
My name is Forrest I am a gamer and a Linux enthusiast that mainly uses a Arch Based distro called Manjaro. My friend reached out to the group for me and then emailed and told me about it so I thought I would create a account and introduce myself. I would also like to say my level of understanding is probably more on the beginners level of things and have been learning slowly and would like to learn more about other things like raspberry pis and servers since I recently obtained a server from a family members work because they upgraded, I will also leave specs of the two custom built computers I own and the name of the server I have down below, I look forward to meeting you all next meeting.
