Re: [Wlug] PGP Key Signing at next WLUG Meeting

by Theo Van Dinter

It's really up to the person doing the signing. :) In general, you want to have as many strong forms of ID as possible. passport > driver's license > student id, etc. Multiple IDs are good, I don't think I've had need to go beyond 3 before.

Re: Next Meeting November 18th, NOT the 11th.

by Joshua Stone

Happy Birthday Tim! I hope you have an awesome time celebrating with your family! I agree, the Hudson Public Library worked well last time, and I'd be happy to reserve the conference room again if that's cool with folks. We should also have more options for eating afterwards as well now that restaurants have expanded their business hours: https://www.discoverhudson.org/taste/ - Josh On Wed, Nov 10, 2021 at 9:00 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > 0.

Re: Meeting ideas

by Joel

Tim had the idea Wednesday to also ask Jon "maddog" Hall in to give a talk sometime likely about Linux or Open Source or whatever. I think that sounds like a good idea. He has been places and done things and his speeches are always thought provoking. I also like both the music ideas, the wifi speaker and the across the Internet personal music server.

Re: [Wlug] Idea for next month's WLUG meeting....

by Chuck Anderson

Great idea. I put that in as the topic for next month on the website and IRC channel. We may be able to use HDMI out on phones/tablets to the projector, or use a document camera (the modern replacement for the overhead projector).

Re: [EXT] Re: Physical WLUG Meeting is cancelled tomorrow...

by Chris Thompson

(PS - moderator, please ignore my last post from the incorrect address...doh! sorry.) LOL Chuck. That's not very nice, but...funny! :P Sorry to hear you are stuck with Windows 'cause of "the man". Haven't used it for a rather long time now, so I dunno if these still even exist, but mIRC I think was the last I used (before that Pirch rings a bell). There are great Web-based interfaces if you are maintaining a server somewhere - my favorite there is the node implementation called "The Lounge". https://thelounge.chat/docs Nice thing is it'll stay connected for you so you won't miss messages. --Chris On 3/18/20 2:30 PM, Chuck Anderson via WLUG wrote: > format c: > > (make sure to run from a CMD window with Administrator privileges) > > On Wed, Mar 18, 2020 at 02:22:25PM -0400, Richard Klein via WLUG wrote: >> Do you guys have a favorite IRC client for Windows? >> >> On Wed, Mar 18, 2020 at 1:28 PM Chris Thompson via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> >> wrote: >> >>> I would certainly recommend organizing in IRC, but for more interaction, >>> Jitsi is worth a shot. >>> >>> Zoom does work very well on Gnu/Linux, but yes - proprietary, so, >>> personally not interested in using them more than I already am coerced to >>> :P >>> >>> Jitsi usually handles rooms with up to about a dozen people pretty well, >>> but often struggles beyond that.
