Re: Intersection of Open Source and Social Change

Lemmy is cool conceptually, but FYI, since you're thinking about social change, the maintainers of Lemmy are fascist-sympathisers ("tankies" is the term to Google for).

I have been dragging my feet but, with your posting, got gpg and got to the first step of you slides, gpg --gen-key At that point, I could not remember what default type you had recommended. I realize this is not critical, but like to stick to the same as the rest of the crowd in a KISS mode. :-) So, if you'll pick a default, I'll go on to the next step and report back for help at the next stumble :-) Oh Yes. Count me in as interested! Thanks for volunteering. doug

Reminder: Meeting April 18th. Topic: Open Broadcast System Location: Stratton Hall Rm 106

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, This Thursday at 7pm in Stratton Hall rm 106, wlug member Ian Gelman will be doing a talk about the Open Broadcast system. OBS (https://obsproject.com/) is free, open source software that allows you turn your Linux system into a powerful mobile TV studio. If you’ve watched any online content creators in the past couple of years, you’ve likely seen the software in action. In this talk, I’ll be giving an overview of what the software can do, as well as a case study on how OBS helped rocket a simple clementine to the top of the WPI subreddit. ( http://wpiwa.wpi.edu/clementine.html) We’ll finish up with a live demo where we’ll create a stream with some webcam footage, application displays, and an internet radio station. Snacks and Refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head off for dinner. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I'd love to see some embedded Linux devel. I do embedded Linux development at home and at the office and I'd like to see others who do it. I'd might be willing to talk a bit about it, but I have to check my availability. If any one else wants to step up for this or another topic, I'll step back with no worries what so ever. I'll see if I am available and get back ASAP. Is embedded linux (primarily PPC) interesting to the masses? Some topics I could expound on are: * Cross development vs Local Development * Linux as en embedded OS (Kernels, modules, flash filesystems, pitfalls) * Designing Embedded Linux Clusters * Application considerations on embedded linux Anything else people might find more interesting? > > Chuck > > On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 01:26:29 -0500, Andy Stewart <andystewart(a)comcast.net> wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > HI gang, > > > > We have a WLUG meeting coming up on Thurs Jan 13 - any thoughts on what topic > > we should explore?

Re: [Wlug] Wednesday's WLUG - noob question on XML editor

by d.maly＠ieee.org

This stuff is new to me, so wanted to dabble a bit before the meeting. My question is: what's your favorite editor for XML? My past experience with HTML has been with Mozilla editors in Windows, and I find them to be adequate (and free).

I would like to see a presentation on using linux for home automation or a presentation on using linux for vision processing.

I'd also be interested in a talk about Wireguard and how to implement it in a couple of cases: 1. one end on home router/firewall, other end on remote device. - can I go from internal host to remote device? 2. just a pair of devices, seperated by a firewall - this is simpler, but more complicated than step 1. I've done SSH tunnels in the past, looking more for a generic way to do backups of a device in the cloud from my home backup server. WireGuard should be the ticket, but it's being annoying. John

Yes, know it's configured differently. On purpose. I have configured it _not_ to waste time answering stupid questions from random bots. If you want to know the address of isc.org, ask a major name server. My server is for answering questions about _my_ names. It needs to answer queries about keithdiane.us and free-comp-shop.com, for which it is authoritative, which means the major name servers get their info about those names from _here_. I would like to configure it to totally ignore such stupid requests, instead it seems to be answering with the best data it has in its cache. That turns out to be the most verbose yet useless information imaginable---a list of all the root name servers on the internet! -- Keith PS: Don't use my list. It's probably obsolete.
