I thought I saw earlier that this would be on Thursday the 11th. Just want to make sure I know when it's supposed to be. Thanks.

Well.... It's bad enough that I ask questions and don't come to the meetings, add to that the fact that I CAN'T come to the meetings, and i'd just feel like too much of a leech..

Reminder: WLUG Meeting August 9th, 2018! Topic: Bro

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting on Thursday! Time @ Location: 7pm @ WPI Mid Century Room (Rm 331) aka, the usual spot Topic: Bro Network Security Monitor Presenter: Eric Martin Veteran WLUG member Eric Martin will be giving a talk about "Bro" What's Bro? Bro is a FOSS framework and event engine for analyzing network traffic. First developed at LBNL in 1995 it is used on public, private and personal networks provide robust indepth network usage and threat analysis. Check out http://www.bro.org for more details. Eric's talk will be focused around using Bro to understand the flow of traffic around devices on our home network. As we add an ever increasing set of devices that have the words "IoT" and/or Smart in their names, it matters that we know what these devices are doing and who they're talking to. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Dang, I could have taken my in-laws' old 32bit Chrome book which I just retired to use as a demo. It's a ten year old machine which just worked for my mother-in-law for years.

Re: Reminder! Virtual Meeting Tonight!! 7PM via Jitsi!

by Jon "maddog" Hall

Daryll who? >On April 9, 2010 McBride purchased the SCO Mobility intellectual property from The SCO Group for $100,000. Imagine paying 100,000 USD in 2010 for something that was proven to be worth nothing. Even the name "SCO" is so tarnished after what McBride and his cohorts did that it is worth nothing. On a related note, I made contact with Doug Michels, one of the founders of the original Santa Cruz Operations. Doug is a good guy and I worked with him for years during the heady days of the "Common Desktop Environment". In 1997 Doug was on the board of Uniforum and insisted that Linus Torvalds get a lifetime achievement award at the tender age of 28. md On Thu, Feb 11, 2021 at 12:50 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Hey Gang, > > We've got a meeting tonight at 7PM! > > Location: Our usual Jitsu haunt: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA > > Topic: I think the Itanium thing got beat to death, but we can still talk > about it. > Apparently there's still a pa-risc port of linux kicking around?

Announce: WLUG Meeting Wednesday May 12 7PM

by Chuck Anderson

Hi folks, Our next WLUG meeting is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, May 12 at 7:00 PM in Morgan Hall at the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. I'm pleased to announce that Jeff Moyer from Red Hat will be our guest speaker. He will be giving a talk on Solid-State Drive technology (SSDs): A Complete Guide to SSDs This talk explains the inner workings of solid state storage technology in an easy to understand manner. The innate properties of NAND flash are discussed in the context of current disk scheduling methodologies. Benchmark results comparing SSDs and traditional rotating media are presented. The talk further outlines changes in the Linux kernel and file system utilities that have been made to accommodate SSDs, and changes that are on their way. Finally, guidance is given on practical deployment of SSDs, including file system creation and mount options, I/O scheduler selection, and answers to some frequently asked questions. I look forward to seeing you there, Chuck President, Worcester Linux Users' Group
