Topics for next meeting (Tim Keller)

by joel d

All three topics are interesting. Plex holds more interest for me currently as I plan to soon build a new home NAS for professional, personal and entertainment data. Would want to include Plex in those plans. RetroPie is interesting too. Built one with my 10 year old son. He learned a lot. Dad can still win at Atari Combat. I could bring it and talk about it, but would likely be a relatively short discussion. BitCoin for me has less interest. Technically it's harder to mine for BitCoin prime numbers every month. As a financial currency it is not very strong, not quite taking the world by storm. I like it's government independence, but prepper friends prefer precious metals.

We talked about doing a talk about plex, I'm not sure how interested people are. Another topic that came up was a talk about setting up a RetroPi system. Another topic that came up later was BitCoin. Personally I've always found bitcoin an enigma. If anybody in the group understands it I'd love to learn about it and possibly what tools there are on linux for mining and storing bitcoins.

Re: WLUG Meeting Feb 11th 2021! Topic: Good question!

by Richard Klein

I'm not sure I'll make it, but I'd like to hear more about NextCloud. I briefly attempted to install the server last weekend. Only the desktop client seems to be in the Debian repository, and I didn't have enough time to investigate what the next best way to install it is. I did discover that it's a fork of OwnCloud, though. I'd never heard of that.

Re: Reminder! Meeting tonight at Technocopia! Time: 7pm!

by John Stoffel

Guys, I hope the remote crew found using the Owl to be helpful and useful. Technocopia is a bit louder than other spaces we've used, but the energy is just great. Some of the discussion subjects last night included: - using emacs to interface into a system to track documents and meta-data. This is a personal issue for me too since I have close to 30 years of emails to search through at times. I use a tool called 'glimpse' which is old. Think of it as grep on steroids. First you have to index your docuemnt store, then you search against the index. It does support re-indexing and updating, so you don't have to do a full scan again. Someone mentioned "booyah" as an alternative, but I think that's a false lead. Glimpse is in alot of linux distros, or you can find the source (or a version of the source) here on github: https://github.com/gvelez17/glimpse/tree/master - We then talked about how do you group documents once you've indexed them, since you'd like to find similar documents. This is a hard thing to do. I've been looking on and off for over 15 years and haven't found anything good yet. I'll keep looking, and would love to see other solutions. I don't want something in the cloud, I'd prefer a CLI based interface, and some way to tag or annotate docs with metadata. IDeally in an automated way, but I personally haven't found anything quite yet. I should try to write something, but elisp (or lisp in general) just doesn't grok in my brain. I could try something in perl or python I guess. Lots of tools there. - Thne Kevin hijacked the meeting and gave us a demo of BowlerStudio, which is just amazing work from (mostly) Kevin in terms of what it offers. Very cool. https://commonwealthrobotics.com/ to do a download and run some tutorials. I hope to get around to this in the future myself. - We also talked about how to pass through NVidia graphics cards into VMs, so you can get better rendering performance, and all the issues, tradeoffs and outright problems of doing this. So anyways, a good meeting, lots of random talking and networking. Hope more can make the next meeting in september in person! John

Re: [Wlug] Its Meeting time !

by John Stoffel

I wish I could make the meetings, since I'd like to talk with people about getting udev to work with these MP3 players, since it's a semi black art. Though there is a good writeup on the net about how to use udevinfo to help setup things. Someone needs to write a tool to scan the bus, ask you to insert the device, then re-scans the bus and suggests the udev rule(s) to make the device do what you want. Then, in the futire, it would just work! As it is, writing udev rules is a bit of a hit or miss, though once you get your mind wrapped around using udevinfo, it' isn't too bad to figure out what to do. John

Idea for next month's WLUG meeting....

by joel d

Over pizza last night I had a WLUG meeting idea I thought I would share with the group. Seems many WLUG members have Android phones and tablets. How about a show & tell about each of our favorite Android applications? Android is Linux-based so it is somewhat relevent to our group. I am not sure how we can "show these" up on a big screen but a laptop could easily go to the web page (or developer's page) via browser might work. I am happy to contribute my 5 to 10 favorites in the Android App world. Sharing these in this e-mail group might make sense also if people so choose. Anyone else have thoughts on this topic? Thank you, Joel

Re: [Wlug] Next Meeting BBQ? Possible change of date?

Well, unfortunately I live in a tiny college apartment, otherwise I'd be happy to offer. Unfortunately, I'll have to pass.
