Happy Birthday Tim! I hope you have an awesome time celebrating with your family! I agree, the Hudson Public Library worked well last time, and I'd be happy to reserve the conference room again if that's cool with folks. We should also have more options for eating afterwards as well now that restaurants have expanded their business hours: https://www.discoverhudson.org/taste/ - Josh On Wed, Nov 10, 2021 at 9:00 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > 0.

0. Thanks for the birthday wishes! My wife has pointed out that I've been involved in WLUG for more than half my adult life at this point! 1. As for the dinner location, I have no idea, it's a surprise! 2. I'm totally down for having an in person meeting, we'd just have to find a venue. The Hudson library worked really well, I'd be cool for that, of other places are more central to others, we can figure something out. Please propose locations and we'll figure out what works. I'm also not opposed to having a rotating set of locations as long as it doesn't become too confusing. 3. TrueNas Scale does look cool. There's talk of putting gluster on to of ZFS for scale out storage, which slightly distresses me. I played with gluster back in the day and was rather unimpressed with it, maybe it's matured a bit) but last week poking at FreeBSD on a VM got me thinking about TrueNAS and it's partner project TrueNAS Scale (which is a debian based version of TrueNAS that supports containers, KVM, etc. 4.

Hey Gang, My birthday is on the 11th and the family is taking me out for dinner. We'll have the meeting on the 18th instead! I've got some ideas for topics, but if someone has a burning desire to talk about something, let me know! Otherwise I think I'll show off my experiments with TrueNAS scale.

Looking to contact Andy Stewart

by Jon "maddog" Hall

Sorry for this intrusive method of finding someone, but I saw Andy Stewart at the NearFest this past Friday, and thinking that I had his email address (and I did), I am having trouble with contacting mval.net, his mail domain. Does anyone have an alternative address for him, of if Andy reads this can you either fix your server or give me a working email? Thanks, md

A friend of mine did a lot of work for junk mail folks many years ago. To keep in touch with them he has a separate account roughly "fname Lname(a)gmail.com". First time it almost made me spit coffee out my nose. Would be almost as good as naming a young child foo.
