I've been meaning/wanting to visit Technopia and to even join so as to have a place to go where I can be around other motivated people and work on my Phd (Projects Half Done) stuff. Plus there's good places around there for food afterwards. Heck, in another year or so it might be fun to do a wlug woo-sox game meeting.

Re: Reminder! Meeting Next Week on May 13th 2021!

by Jon "maddog" Hall

Tim, For what it is worth I got my second Pfizer shot February 27th. On March 11th I flew to Miami, Florida for an IPO of Digital Ocean (a friend of mine is a founder), directly into the middle of maskless College idiots doing spring break (I wore a mask and practiced social distancing as well as getting my first two tests for COVID). Two weeks later I flew to Rio de Janeiro for a month (business meetings and to see my husband for the first time in a year). I feel safe in going to indoor restaurants (I still wear my mask when not actively eating and drinking. I trust in medicine, science and statistics, and I feel like Superman. So I would support in-person meetings for vaccinated people, particularly if masks are used. md On Thu, May 6, 2021 at 10:04 AM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Hey Gang! > > We've got a meeting on May 13th! > > For topics, there's a whole lot to talk about!

Reminder! Meeting Next Week on May 13th 2021!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting on May 13th! For topics, there's a whole lot to talk about! Obviously the UMN stuff, as well as the x86 decoder fun. I think it's worth revisiting having in person meetings.. At some point here in the near future a majority of us are going to be vaccinated. I'll reach out to Kevin (if he's not already reading this!) and see what Technopia's policies are going to be. Whatever we do, I think we've all agreed it makes sense to keep the virtual component going as well. To that point, I'll be getting my second shot on Tuesday so I might be not feeling great, we'll see. What do people think? Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Their free tier is fine, though it has less features (authentication being one of them) so I’d put something in front of it. The Splunk Zeek app is really good; if you go the Splunk route let me know. > _______________________________________________ > WLUG mailing list -- wlug(a)lists.wlug.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)lists.wlug.org > Create Account: https://wlug.mailman3.com/accounts/signup/ > Change Settings: https://wlug.mailman3.com/postorius/lists/wlug.lists.wlug.org/ > Web Forum/Archive: https://wlug.mailman3.com/hyperkitty/list/wlug@lists.wlug.org/message/SXYJZ…

Re: Zeek - from yesterday's meeting

by John Stoffel

Guys, Now that I have zeek up and running... what's the best tool/process for viewing the data? Looking at the hourly emailed logs is sorta interesting, but honestly not a great way to see trends over time. I've looked over the zeek.org website, and there's no real discussion there on how to summarize and get a good high level view of what's going on. Even just a daily report would be better, I think. So what I'm doing is setting up my core switch to mirror all the traffic between the switch and the router, while I also have the zeek box on another port on the switch for management. This seems to be working well so far, it's seeing all my traffic to/from the internet and the various devices connected. Cheers, John
