Hey Everybody,
We've got a meeting on Thursday August 11th 2022
Topic: Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting.
Physical Location: Possibly the Mid-Century Room at WPI!
Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
Speaker: Althea Shaheen
The days of websites simply being static pages of HTML are behind us. As
the web changes and the technologies underpinning complex websites grow and
evolve, managing all this by hand becomes nearly impossible. Load
balancers, database servers.. Now what if this website also needs to be
scaled across cloud providers and on prem?
What happens when your favorite cloud company whose data center is just a
bunch of shipping containers burns to the ground? How easily could you
reconstitute your website and all the underpinnings?
Althea is going to speak to how they deploy their website and manages the
entire process as code.
I'd like to thank Chuck for facilitating getting Althea in contact with us.
If you know people who'd like to speak, please let me know.
Yes, it's quite possible we'll be able to meet in our old haunt. When I
know more, you'll know more!
Unfortunately as I've been in close contact with someone with covid, I'll
be unable to make it physically to the meeting, but I will be attending
virtually.
Thanks,
Tim.

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their
constituents as "consumers".

Mojotron is a twin stick shooter similar to Robotron: 2084 or
Llamatron. I've been redoing the graphics and fixing up the game. I
decided to make a trailer to promote the game. The source code for my
update has not been released yet.

I used Pitivi to create this and another video. The program has gotten
a lot better. I no longer have to save after each change because of how
often it used to crash.

Has anyone used or built one of these?

It looks really interesting way to get a reasonably cheap IP KVM for
home use. Though with the pain of getting RPi4s these days... it's
going to take me a while to actually build one.
Not sure if I wnat to spend $160 for the HAT though... the slightly
flaky USB dongle so I can see my home server screen when needed it's
probably more than enough.
