Reminder! Meeting January 26th at 7pm Topic: Frame.work, passbolt
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody! Happy 2023! We've got our first meeting of the new year!!
Time: 7pm
Date: 1/26/2023
Location: WPI Student Center Rm 128 (Taylor Room)
Topic(s): frame.work laptop demo, passbolt demo
Cara Salter has agreed to come and show off her frame.work laptop. This
laptop is designed with upgrade ability in mind. Components such as the
motherboard can be easily swapped for more powerful versions, etc.
I'm also going to show off passbolt <https://www.passbolt.com/>. This is a
FOSS password manager. With the massive breach of lastpass, people may want
to think about having total ownership of their password stores. This solves
that.
As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head
off and have dinner can keep the conversation going.
I hope to see you there!
Tim.

Re: [EXT] Framework Laptops
by Tim Keller
Since we are now back meeting in person, our *general* meeting place is in
the WPI student center.
I need to talk to Frank about scheduling a meeting place for us. I'd like
to get back into the room we were in last time as the A/V setup worked
really well.
Thanks,
Tim.

It's been so long, where and when is the meeting again? I don't think I
ever attended when I joined in 2012 or so.

We have a meeting coming up on the 26th, this sounds like a great starter
topic!
Cara, would you be interested in coming to the meeting and doing a demo?
Thanks,
Tim.

The other cool thing though:
You can 3d print a case for the old board if you upgrade. I plan on making
a dock for them that will fit in 2-3u with a usb-backplane with a 10gbe
switch, and 2x usb-c 10gbe + Power delivery. You'd be able to pack them
super dense. Great for a proxmox or harvester cluster.

Re: [EXT] Framework Laptops

I've had no issues with mine on fedora. For what it's worth.
Highly recommend framework. Although I did get the runaround with support
about a usb4 dock. Kept getting me to try windows, despite the fact I had.
But we have 3, they're rock solid.

Would you be willing to come to a WLUG meeting and show off your new
toy to the rest of us? I do like the idea of that laptop, but I'd
like to get my hands on it to see how the feel of it really is.

Did you fix the flickering with a newer kernel version? Its been
years since I ran Gentoo (got tired of all the recompiles, but this
was 10+ years ago for sure....) and I thought it was pretty damn
bleeding edge in terms of kernels.
I'm currently running kernel 6.0.8 on my main Debian Buster home
NFS/KVM/etc server and it works great, but it is headless.

Hi! I'm the workstudy in question. According to the emails I received for moving
through each step in the process, it took 42 days from me submitting my deposit
and me receiving a physical laptop that I could start using.
For context, I ordered the "DIY edition" which didn't come with the RAM or
storage. I ordered both on Amazon and they arrived a bit before the laptop.

I'm currently writing this from my Gentoo install on it! The only two issues I
ran into was that the wifi card (Intel AX210) firmware wasn't in the "stable"
kernel, so I had to keyword my system to ~amd64. The other issue I ran into was
that kernel 5.19.12 had a bad display driver that caused flickering

Hope this helps!

Is that 42 days from deciding to order one until happily browsing
the web with newly installed Debian, Xfce, Firefox? Or 42 days
from starting to fill out the order form until finally getting
the last required field filled in? Or what?
Does it run Linux?

Looks like Microsoft helpfully fixed your link to point to themselves.
If you can't trust MS marketing who can you trust?
In other news, I was off line for ten days.
This may be relevant to those looking for an ISP.
