Thanks for the reminder! I've still got it on my calendar for tonight. It's probably been covered before, but I'd love to know more about Docker and VMs, if we need subjects. It's stuff I haven't had time to explore on my own.

MEETING DATE CHANGE!!! May 17th!
by Tim Keller May 4, 2018

May 4, 2018

Talking with Frank, because of commencement, I'm moving the meeting to May 17th. Sorry for any confusion! Date: May 17th, 2018 Time: 7pm Location: Campus Center Mid Century Room 331 (our usual spot) Topic: Future of WLUG mailing list and website I've recently been tinkering with Digital Ocean and it might be a sensible spot where we can host wlug.org and the mailing list. Also I can show off MFA authenication of ssh sessions (likely on a digtial oceans droplet) As usual I'll have refreshments and snacks and we'll head off for dinner (and maybe dessert!) and continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Next Meeting May 10th 2018 Topic: TBD
by Tim Keller April 30, 2018

April 30, 2018

Hey Gang, Our next meeting is May 10th, 2018. Topic: To Be Decided If there's something someone would like to talk about, let me know and we'll set it up. Here are a couple of ideas: 1. Digital Ocean Cloud Droplet stuff (possibly around hosting wlug mail) 2. Configuring MFA authentication on SSH. Beyond that we'll likely talk about when we'd like the BBQ and other stuff we'd like to talk about. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

This looks cool: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-run-your-own-mail-s… I would prefer if there was a turnkey solution for Mailman 3, Postorius, and Hyperkitty. I had played around with those a bit several years ago when they were new. Hyperkitty allows participation in the mailing lists via a web forum interface.

I've got my mail hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet and I'm very happy. For approx $72 a year I get a full Linux system with 1gb of RAM and 20gb of SSD storage. Plenty for a mail/web hosting setup for a small family site.

Hey Guys, One of the podcasts I listen to "Linux Unplugged" has a promo for "Digital Ocean" that gets you a $10 credit to go screw around with stuff I just spun up a CentOS box and I've been poking around. It looks like it's QEMU/KVM on the insides... Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Great meeting last night!
by Tim Keller April 13, 2018

April 13, 2018

Hey Everybody, Last night's meeting was fantastic! It's always great to get a full house! For those of you who were unable to make it, there were a number of fantastic mini talks. Login gave a great 15 minute rundown regarding the "audit2allow" tool to generate selinux rules. Login then proceeded to show how SElinux is running in lots of places... and then SSH'd into his phone to show that it was also run SElinux. kudos on the sshing over bluetooth from your laptop... that was cool. Greg then gave a great demo on a very lightweight security oriented linux called "Heads" (as opposed to the more well known "Tails" distribution. What was more amazing was that he was running it on a pretty old laptop and it was zippy... Though their support for mirroring displays could be a bit clearer! It was really impressive what you can do with a two core pentium laptop and a usb stick! Lastly, Chuck showed off Qubes. While the install didn't finish until we'd come back from dinner! Chuck was able to talk about the idea of separating applications into different Xen domains. It was really cool. Though we talked about this at and after dinner... I'm fearful that Xen is going the way of the dodo... I wonder if in the future the Qubes people will support other hypervisors. Thank to Login, Greg and Chuck for presenting and thanks to everybody for turning it into a lively and interesting round table discussion.
