Hello Mher, Perhaps you can start here to look for a Linux sysadmin position. If you want to do a wider search, perhaps this is more helpful. If you want to take advantage of your time at home here is where you can strengthen your skills.

computer requirements for jit.si

Jit.si just requires a modern web browser to participate in a conference. My 5 year old laptop with Fedora 32 and Firefox 80 works fine. The browser itself will request permissions to use your microphone and camera if you have them. You could also just listen and view the video and chat in the chat box if you don't have a mic or camera.

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.
