this is a test

by Chuck Anderson

This is a test of the WLUG email list. This is only a test. If this had been an actual post, the subject line you just read would have been followed by official news, information, or random Linux blather. This concludes this test of the WLUG list. .

It is a manual process to download the CSV member list and I don't have CLI or direct database access. I'll try to do that more often, but that still won't have the member delivery preferences, etc. However, our Mailman 3 host provided a Postgres backup from Tuesday which I was able to restore from. I went through and removed, added, and set the delivery preferences for 25 or so email addresses. Thanks to mailman3.com for saving the day!

Administrivia - WLUG Mailing List

by Chuck Anderson

Sorry everyone. We had more spam problems on the WLUG Mailing List last night, and in the process of trying to remove that user I accidentally removed everyone. I partly blame the poor Admin user interface of Postorius--it has a "Unsubscribe All" button at the top of the Member list even if that list has been filtered and says "List Members (1)" due to the filter. So it is easy to misinterpret "All" as being just the Members that are currently listed due to the filter. I went through a backup of the member list I have from 2018, edited the list based on all the subscription/remove requests since then, and resubscribed everyone who hadn't removed themselves since. I could have missed some email addresses, so I apologize if you have been accidentally resubscribed when you shouldn't have been--feel free to email me directly and I'll fix that. I could have also missed some new subscriptions, so if you know someone who should be subscribed but complains that they are no longer receiving posts, please let them know to resubscribe. I'm not sure if each user's subscription options have been retained, so if you had set no email delivery or digest mode for example, you may have to reconfigure that. Finally, I have configured the mailing list to require moderator approval for new membership requests and posts from all existing members until I know that the member isn't a spammer. Over the next few days I'll be going through the member list and unsetting moderation on "known good" members.

I removed & banned the drive-by-spammer. Here is Technocopia's website for those interested: https://technocopia.org/ I like the idea of Hybrid meetings--some participants remote and some in-person. It's hard to do well, though. Does Technocopia have a videoconferencing setup with an in-room camera/mic system, projector, and PC that could join Jitsi? Maybe we could help them set one up.

At my church we have used 8x8 for VOIP service with some cisco VOIP phones, without problems. Though the cost got too much for us over time. For a business, maybe the first step would be to move to an external VOIP provider like 8x8 before you try to selfhost. If you have a comcast business service, with static IPs, then I'm going to assume you would be all set to host your own PBX. But for four lines... running asterix might be more than you want to do. Though I'm sure there are some vendors out there who will provide on-premise asterix solutions. The tricky part, I think, is getting your numbers ported over, especially if you're doing it yourself. Again, I'd do with a hosted solution, then play with asterix using a fifth number as a self hosted solution. John

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting tonight at 7PM! It's still virtual because you know, the pandemic. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to stand 6' apart from each other and hang out! But until then, there's Jitsi! We'll be meeting here: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA at 7PM! We'll likely jibber jab until it's late.. My neighbors house may or may not catch on fire again! I'm going to show off Min.IO running in a docker container. I can show the web interface and then we'll stick some objects in the container. I know that several other WLUG members are also using it in production so it'll be interesting to get their take on it as well. Then I suspect we'll end up talking about all things nerdy! See you!
