Meeting Tonight, March 14th 2024. Topic: "self hosting"

by Tim Keller

Time: 7pm. Date: March 14th 2024 Location: Technocopia 44 Portland St. Worcester MA. Virtual Location: hopefully hosted independently, but at https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA For now.. We are increasingly living in a world where our data isn't ours anymore. Everything is a service being hosted by some entity, subjected to the whims of that entity. Come to love some service? They're discontinuing it. Your data? They're using it to train some AI that you don't control. Functionality? Ever changing.. Costs? To change without warning and your data is now hostage. To that end.. What are people doing? What would people like to do? What options are out there? What's worked in the past and now doesn't? There's also SOAF "significant other acceptance factor" to consider.. If you own the data but it's so horrific to manage that it sends everybody around you fleeing back to some service, that's no good either. I expect this to be a pretty lively debate. As usual, we'll head out for dinner and continue the conversation. I'll have snacks and refreshments available. Thanks, Tim.

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.
