Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting this week! Date: May 22nd Time: 7PM Location: Technocopia Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: Mini-PC.Long time WLUG member John Stoffel has graciously agreed to show off his new, small but mighty desktop. We'll put it through its paces with a couple quick demos and tests. We'll likely get OpenWebUI running on it, as well as Cadoodle. I recently started (trying!) to use a glove80 keyboard so I'll bring that along so people can give it a try as well. As usual, we'll head off for dinner afterwards to keep the conversation going. Thanks, TIm. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I've also got QLC+ lighting control software and an LED instrument with RGBW Leds in it to demo and show off it being controlled by a linux system. QLC+ has slowed down in development lately, but it's an interesting alternative to QLAB when you don't have a Mac, and Qlab only runs on Macs. https://www.qlcplus.org/ https://qlab.app/ For those of you who want me details of the mini PC, it's a Beelink Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 5850U system with 1Tb NVME and 16gb of RAM. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2P486GQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I'm super impressed by what it provides, and it's certainly an upgrade over my old AMD Athlon Phenom II Quad core system I was using as my desktop before.

I'm sad to say that http://www.wasdkeyboards.com where I got my CODE keyboard quite a number of years ago seems to be no more. So eventually I'll be looking for a new tenkeyless model to replace the two I have, mostly because the keycaps are wearing off.
As usual, we'll head off for dinner afterwards to keep the conversation going.
The more the merrier! John
