Meeting Tonight, March 14th 2024. Topic: "self hosting"
Time: 7pm. Date: March 14th 2024 Location: Technocopia 44 Portland St. Worcester MA. Virtual Location: hopefully hosted independently, but at https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA For now.. We are increasingly living in a world where our data isn't ours anymore. Everything is a service being hosted by some entity, subjected to the whims of that entity. Come to love some service? They're discontinuing it. Your data? They're using it to train some AI that you don't control. Functionality? Ever changing.. Costs? To change without warning and your data is now hostage. To that end.. What are people doing? What would people like to do? What options are out there? What's worked in the past and now doesn't? There's also SOAF "significant other acceptance factor" to consider.. If you own the data but it's so horrific to manage that it sends everybody around you fleeing back to some service, that's no good either. I expect this to be a pretty lively debate. As usual, we'll head out for dinner and continue the conversation. I'll have snacks and refreshments available. Thanks, Tim.
This sounds right up my alley, but I'm not going to be able to attend. Are these sessions recorded by any chance? On Thu, Mar 14, 2024, 10:46 AM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

In the past we have tried with limited success, I'll see if I can get it recorded. This folds nicely into the topic. Jitsi has a built in recording feature.. that uses Dropbox and seems to only *randomly* work, or stops recording randomly.. real fun.. I've got OBS on my laptop, so I'll see if I can record it local and the upload it to our YouTube channel. Tim. On Thu, Mar 14, 2024, 10:58 AM Gregory Boyce <gregory.boyce@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Tim. That would be great if it works out. No worries if it does not. On Thu, Mar 14, 2024 at 11:31 AM Tim Keller <turbofx@gmail.com> wrote:
