Reminder: December meeting! 12/09/2021 @7pm Hudson Public Library!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting this Thursday at the Hudson Public Library! Topic: Jail breaking that Wii you've got laying around to run Linux! Then I'm sure it'll get even more interesting! I'd like to brain storm about topics we'd like to talk about next year! Ideas that have been talked about: 1. Pi-hole. What it is, how it works and why you want one! 2. Raspberry Pi clusters.. How to build one and what would you do with one? 3. Ham radio and Linux. I'll have snacks and refreshments on hand, we'll head off to dinner afterwards! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Reminder: WLUG Meeting tonight: Topic ProxMox / Turning Pi 2

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting tonight! Time: 7pm Date: February 8th, 2024 Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland St. Worcester MA Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA For a topics, We've got two. Topic #1: Turing Pi 2 hardware Wlug member Zori Babroudi recently bought a Turning Pi 2 and a bunch of Pi and Rocks compute modules. Currently, it's a work in progress, but eventually once things are totally working on it, I'd like to show it off in its full glory. But in the meantime, we can marvel at the hardware. Ultimately, the plan is to run k8s on it and do some LLM based AI stuff as well. Topic #2: ProxMox With BroadCom's purchase and destruction of VMware, many of us are scrambling to look for alternatives to VMware Esxi. One great contender is ProxMox. It's a debian based distro that's focused on providing a great interface to manage vms running on kvm. It also has great support for video card pass through (something I know Brandon is *very* interested in). I've got a 3 node proxmox cluster that I will show off. John Stoffel has also been experimenting with it as well so both of us can talk about the good/bad/ugly of it. As usual, the conversation will be lively and focused around linux, FOSS, fair use and who knows what! Afterwards we'll head off for some dinner and keep the conversation going! I hope to see you there! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

A better description of the location is: WPI Sports and Recreation Center room 412 - Class of '61 Meeting Room 1. This is a new building as of a few years ago. It is next to Harrington Auditorium, on the hill between it and the football field.

Patrick McEvilly via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> writes: > We lost the room on the web call. Will you guys be back on tonight? Right. That didn't work well. I was on jitsi within minutes of 7pm. At first I thought I had technical problems because I couldn't see or hear anybody. A few minutes and a few named rectangles showed up, including the all important "WLUG Meeting". But the guest speaker was not there. It was noisy and hard to hear anyone who was not near the mike. Around 7:30 there was talk of booting from a flash drive and then "WLUG Meeting" vanished. There were three of us left, me and two rectangles named jstone and PMcEvilly. We talked a bit about our computers, but didn't really have much to say. At 8pm the computer that runs ntpd (NetTimePro) said it was time to move along. This is not a gripe, it's a bug report. Jitsi actually seemed to work better from the public library. This is a bit frightening. WPI has been teaching over video chat for years. We did video chat meetings with the equipment in the student center back in the Andy Stewart days. Patrick McEvilly via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> writes: > Will you guys be back on tonight? I'm not sure what to make of that question. WLUG meetings are traditionally 1/month. On the other hand, I think the jitsi room is open all the time. -- Keith, Programmer in Chief, http://www.free-comp-shop.com/
