by Tim Keller June 13, 2018

June 13, 2018

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting on Thursday at June 14th! Time: 7pm Topic: Github / Branch Scope / VDO We'll be talking about the Microsoft's purchase of Github and how it *might* affect the FOSS community. We'll also be talking about Branch Scope... Yet another vulnerability in Intel CPUs are vulnerable to having unprivileged users read large swap of memory, even segments that are protected by Intel's famed I'll also demo VDO (RedHat's new dedup / compression block layer). Snacks and refreshments will be provided! Afterwards we'll head off for dinner to continue the conversation! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Free to a good home: HP PSC 1315xi All in one printer
by Tim Keller May 17, 2018

Have you been waiting to get yourself one of those awesome web connected printers, but didn't want to shell out the big bucks? Well... you're out of luck, this is NOT one of those printers. If however, you'd like a reliable inkjet printer that works well with linux, let me know. The scanner / copier / printing functions all work. Better yet, it has new ink cartridges in it as well! Mind you, it is an elderly printer, but I've had zero issues with it. The only con is that HP branded ink cartridges are getting expensive, but the knockoffs work just fine as well. Let me know if you'd like it and I'll hand it over at the meeting tonight. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] REMINDER NO MEETING TONIGHT!!!

Thanks for the reminder! I've still got it on my calendar for tonight. It's probably been covered before, but I'd love to know more about Docker and VMs, if we need subjects. It's stuff I haven't had time to explore on my own.

MEETING DATE CHANGE!!! May 17th!
by Tim Keller May 4, 2018

May 4, 2018

Talking with Frank, because of commencement, I'm moving the meeting to May 17th. Sorry for any confusion! Date: May 17th, 2018 Time: 7pm Location: Campus Center Mid Century Room 331 (our usual spot) Topic: Future of WLUG mailing list and website I've recently been tinkering with Digital Ocean and it might be a sensible spot where we can host wlug.org and the mailing list. Also I can show off MFA authenication of ssh sessions (likely on a digtial oceans droplet) As usual I'll have refreshments and snacks and we'll head off for dinner (and maybe dessert!) and continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Next Meeting May 10th 2018 Topic: TBD
by Tim Keller April 30, 2018

April 30, 2018

Hey Gang, Our next meeting is May 10th, 2018. Topic: To Be Decided If there's something someone would like to talk about, let me know and we'll set it up. Here are a couple of ideas: 1. Digital Ocean Cloud Droplet stuff (possibly around hosting wlug mail) 2. Configuring MFA authentication on SSH. Beyond that we'll likely talk about when we'd like the BBQ and other stuff we'd like to talk about. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
