Re: Last meeting mention of connecting to DISPLAY :0

by Chris (wolcen) Thompson

Good catch, John - I should have mentioned that! (I do keep my monitors off as well). Yes - given I'm on i3, I do a `DISPLAY=:0 i3lock &` and a simple Ctrl+C is good for killing the x0vncserver started in the SSH shell. Thanks for pointing out those very important caveats.

Next WLUG meeting Dec 15th 2022!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, I'm moving the meeting to the 15th! We brought up a whole bunch of interesting meeting ideas last meeting. QUIK was talked about. We also talked about redoing the KiCAD talk so we could see the full talk (and actually record it!) We also talked about deep diving into the new wifi standards. PiKVM as well as FOSS music players and piCroft. Let me know what you might be interested in talking about. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I don't know if this is competitive or not but I have been using Panix to host my domain for a long time and never had any serious issues with them. https://www.panix.com/v-colo/plans.html#chart1 On 12/5/22 17:05, John Stoffel via WLUG wrote: > Guys, > I'm looking for a new provider to host my domain, which is mostly > email only.

Looking for a good VPS provider

by John Stoffel

Guys, I'm looking for a new provider to host my domain, which is mostly email only. Some small web presense. I'm currently on Linode, but since Charter is blocking all of Linode's IP space from sending email... it kinda makes it hard to keep in touch with neighbors who have @charter.net email addresses. Don't want to spend a ton,but I would like to get something with a dedicated IP and 2gb of RAM, or maybe a little more. Not much more than that. I don't want any management, I'll do it all myself.
