Re: [Wlug] Canceled due to weather: WLUG meeting Wed 1/12/2011

by Theo Van Dinter

Yeah, it was somewhere between 2-3' of snow. It even has it's own Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fool's_Day_Blizzard And it occurred to me right before finding that page that it was 1997, not 1996. :( I can remember watching the snow from Fuller Apartments, and I wasn't living there in April 1996.

WPI ACM Installfest

by Billy Hnath

Hi all, Sorry to say that I wont be able to make the meeting tonight because I have class, but I figured I would talk to you all in email so you may be able to discuss this tonight. I am the ACM president at WPI and on October 2nd we are having an Installfest starting at 7pm in Fuller Labs. I am in the process of getting some speakers from various linux distros and O'Reilly for a panel discussion/Q&A session and afterwords we will have an installfest in one of the labs. If anyone here is interesting in attending or even better interested in talking/volunteering to help with the Install that would be much appreciated. You can reach me by email (bill.hnath(a)gmail.com) with any questions. Thanks for your time and have a great meeting tonight, --Billy -- William R. Hnath, Jr Worcester Polytechnic Institute Class of 2010 Alpha Chi Rho - Delta Sigma Phi Chapter

Something like Tailscale Funnel might meet your needs with CGNAT. https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel You would need a cheap VPS to act as the funnel entry but those are fairly inexpensive these days. -------- Original Message -------- On 7/9/25 9:22 PM, Kevin Stratton via WLUG wrote: > I am interested in a pihole as well.

Just wanted to say that the "suspend to disk" feature is available on a desktop machine. With Gentoo I use the 'suspend2-sources', and have had no problems with hibernating both my Athlon 64 desktop computer, nor Pentium3 laptop. A good howto is available on the Gentoo Wiki site, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Software_Suspend_v2 The instructions are fairly informative, that even non-Gentoo users should be able to use the howto as a stepping stone to getting the feature into their kernel. Hope this is of some help. -- Jon Gaudette
