Reminder: Meeting tonight! Topic: TBD! Open Forum, etc.

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting tonight! Location: WPI Campus Center Room 304 (Peterson Conference Room) Topic: TBD, open forum, etc. I'm going to show off Visual Studio Code for Linux running on my laptop with the emacs, git and python integrations I've been using. That'll probably be pretty quick and then we can open it up to a general discussion around what's going on in linux, what people are interested in and what people would like to see for topics. There will possibly be some new people since I've created the Meetup site. Snacks and refreshments will be provided and we'll head off for dinner afterwards. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I haven't been paying a lot of attention to the latest hardware, but the radio said something about ARM processor that caught my attention. ARM means rasberry pi means Linux, no? Wikipedia has an enormous article (the Citations alone are 11 pages two column) but the last thing on the page seems to say that Wine is no longer for playing Windows games on Linux, but that MS needs it to prop up the ass end of their sorry operating system. Is the monopoly gone? The radio also speaks of Nvidia. They sell those Invidious graphics cards. The ones that need special secret drivers that only work if you have the right *.dll? It seems that everyone now needs them to do Artifical Intelligence (all rise). Have they changed their attitude, or is it like: "Here's your AI. Pay the monthly bill to retain your licence to use it. Any attempt to try to find out what it does or how it works will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law of Connecticut."? -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] Webcast meetings?

Access Grid software is open source. There is a Windows version and a Linux version (several distribution packages as well) available for download here: http://accessgrid.org/ The software normally requires an IP Multicast capable ISP, but there is a built in Unicast Bridge functionality which will convert the streams--just select "Use Unicast" from the virtual venue properties. I don't think this will work from behind a NAT, though, but you can try forwarding all the necessary ports (a lot of ports) or using a DMZ port on your router. If anyone would like to try this, feel free to contact me and I'll help you get set up.

Re: April WLUG meeting to be online

by Pete Wason

Hi! When is the meeting? BTW, I have *piles* of (mostly Dell) hardware for sale (donation? either is overly complicated..). Everything from an old Dimension E530 desktop to a Poweredge R515 with 12TB of internal disk (both already running CentOS 6.10). A whole roomfull of Optiplex 740s and 580s, an R300, two R415s, etc. In a few weeks I'll also have a couple of Synology RS2416+ units with expansion chassis. I can forward a complete list if anyone is interested. Most of the equipment is in Worcester, where I work. Stay safe!

Re: [Wlug] Meeting Topic Idea - MythTV

by Eric Stein

I would love to set up a mythbox sometime this summer or fall, when I have cable again. Are there any distributions that are not all manual for setting it up? I want to be able to just make it work, and hack on it later if I want to change the default config. I remember it being a pain to build.

Intro to IPv6

Thanks for a great meeting all. I've posted version 2 of my slides up on the WLUG website with some additions and enhancements and many more links in the reference section: http://www.wlug.org/files/intro-to-ipv6.pdf I plan to give this talk at BLU on November 16 if you want a second chance at it.

WLUG Meeting Sept. 14th 2017! @7pm Topic: Ceph

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting! Location: WPI Campus Center Rm 331. Time: 7pm Topic: Ceph Presenters: Logan Brown and Tim Keller. What is Ceph? Ceph is a scalable storage system that provides object, block and file system services. You can grow it dynamically across multiple machines for fault tolerance and performance. Logan and I have both been experimenting with Ceph. I've been playing with in my data center and Logan has gone full production at home with it as a NAS. We'll be able to talk about it's design philosophy, expandability, fault tolerance and management. As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and we'll head off to Tech Pizza to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Reminder! WLUG Meeting tomorrow! May 12th, 2022, 7PM Hudson Public Library.

Does anyone want to speculate how this might affect heterogeneous computing ? I would be excited if there evolves a common standard between CUDA OpenCL. I might even be motivated to learn such an environment.
