Reminder!!! WLUG Meeting Tomorrow at Technocopia!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a WLUG Meeting tomorrow at Technocopia! Time: 7PM Location: Technocopia 44 Portland st. 6th floor Worcester MA. Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: Possibly free VPNs and other solutions! Hey everybody! I thought we'd talk about VPNs that are available for various linux distributions. I'd love to hear what people are using and what's available! I've been looking at Proton: https://protonvpn.com/support/official-ubuntu-vpn-setup/ It's been a great year for linux and WLUG. Thanks for everybody who's been showing up in person and virtually! I'll bring refreshments and snacks and we can talk about what we'd like to do for 2024! Afterwards we'll head out for some dinner! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Six letters max, leading with two letters, no mixing of numbers between letters. Which is kinda wierd. And they make you ask for your three choices and give you just one of them. It's kinda strange. https://www.mass.gov/how-to/request-a-vanity-license-plate And the rules they have on "offensive" words seems ripe for a lawsuit. 1st amendment and all.

Because I commute to the 128 area, I see plates like these pretty frequently...

Re: SMTP 25 license plate

The RFC pseudo standards come to mind. I have seen /dev/null plates for more than one state. I don't think /dev/zero or /dev/random would be too useful for this (depending on what you what to say) Is there a "preferred" app for hevc video format files?

Nice! I keep thinking of getting a new plate with something snarky and fun and geeky... but coming up with something is hard.

It took me two tries to order just a replacement plate from the RMV, and it wasn't until I kept failing inspectiong that I pushed it through. I think the RMV had a major system change about 18 months ago and it really screwed with things for a while. Try it again and let us know how it goes! Maybe I'd get 'TCP'
