Meeting topics

by Frank Sweetser

I've noticed that not too many people have putting in meeting topic requests, so I thought that if anyone's interested I'd volunteer to throw together some slides on BtrFS. For those of you who haven't heard of it, BtrFS is the next generation linux filesystem. Though still in heavy development, it was included in the mainstream kernel last year. It promises to scale to filesystems well beyond what any of the current offerings can handle (including ext4), as well as offering far greater flexibility and better data security for data admins. If you have anything else that you'd like to hear about, either instead of or in addition to BtrFS, chime in, and hopefully someone else on the list will be able to make it happen! -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC

Reminder! Meeting Feb. 20th 2018 @7pm. Fuller Labs Rm 311. Topic: Cryptography!

by Tim Keller

This month we're going to be doing something different! Time & Date: 7PM, February 20th, 2018 Location: WPI Fuller Labs Rm 311 Topic: Cryptography! The speaker for this meeting is my good friend Dr. Nick Howgrave-Graham. He's a cryptographer who has experience in both the making and breaking of encryption systems. This will be a general talk about some commonly used encryption systems, the math around them and how some of these systems have been broken through poor design. If there are some specific encryption algorithm / system that you'd like to deep dive, email the list, I'll let Nick know and possibly he can focus on that. As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head off for a bite to eat.

Re: [Wlug] September meeting topic?

by Frank Sweetser

Hi Karl, are you still up for giving a talk on the Pi for the September meeting? So far as I know it's open for topics, and that sounds like a great one.

Dec. WLUG meeting reminder! Topic: DMARC, SPF and DKIM

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting tomorrow! Date & Time: December 13th 2018 @ 7PM Location: WPI Student Center Mid Century Room (rm 331) Presenter: Frank Sweetser Topic: DMARC, SPF and DKIM. This topic came up on the list as a possible reason why some people weren't seeing all the mail on the list and I thought it might be an interesting topic. The good old days of the internet are sadly dead. Now that the Nigerian princes have given up trying to distribute their money, we're instead left with more sophisticated attacks. DMARC, SPF and DKIM are a few of the techniques now being employed to help cut down on spoofed email. As usual refreshments and snacks will be provided and afterwards we'll head off from dinner and keep the conversation going.

Re: [EXT] Great News! Technopia is now open to the public!

by Krichevsky, Nicholas J.

I don't attend often, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I can say that personally I wouldn't be comfortable with an in person meeting. ________________________________ From: Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2020 5:50:54 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Cc: Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> Subject: [EXT] [WLUG] Great News! Technopia is now open to the public! Hey Gang, I just checked the website and Technopia is now open to the public. So... not this meeting, but hopefully the next one we can have in person! Please let me know how you feel about physical meetings. I'm amenable to waiting another month or two if people are still weary.
