Hi gang, Thanks for the additional info. I'll take a look at this info shortly. I've also found some information in "Grokking the GIMP" with regard to how to use some features of the GIMP to enhance scanned images. This was most helpful when I discovered that scanning images from a magazine or calendar (printed material) caused a speckling effect to appear in the resulting image. The GIMP has a despeckling filter that removes this rather well in many cases. This entire topic has me wondering if a detailed examination of the features of the GIMP might be a good discussion for a future meeting. There seems to be much more there than originally meets the eye. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Re: [Wlug] Linux Sparc Boxes - freebie and selling

by A. Perry

John, I can't make it to tonight's WLUG meeting. However, I'd like to buy two of these (@ $40 each) if we can make other arrangements for pickup. Depending on where you live (or work), I can probably come by your house (or workplace) sometime in the next week or so. Thanks, Andrew Perry >Guys, > >I've got some Sparc Classics with RH 6.1 pre-installed.

Hello, My name is Forrest I am a gamer and a Linux enthusiast that mainly uses a Arch Based distro called Manjaro. My friend reached out to the group for me and then emailed and told me about it so I thought I would create a account and introduce myself. I would also like to say my level of understanding is probably more on the beginners level of things and have been learning slowly and would like to learn more about other things like raspberry pis and servers since I recently obtained a server from a family members work because they upgraded, I will also leave specs of the two custom built computers I own and the name of the server I have down below, I look forward to meeting you all next meeting.

Re: Reminder: Virtual Meeting today at 7PM Topic: Emacs awesomeness.

by gmcaplan＠gmcaplan.org

I was hoping to attend, but it looks like I will not be able to. I hope it will be recorded because I, too, would like to learn about emacs. Also, I have two questions: 1. I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. When I update to ver. 20 or 22, I would prefer to do a "clean" re-install, but I have a question. Does that mean I must get a list of all my installed software and re-install them one at a time after I upgrade the OS? If so, is there an easy way for me to get the list? 2. I have been learning to use the software language R. I have a couple of questions and I would like to hear from anyone who has R experience. Thank You.

Those "modern" VPNs are used for many reasons. Here are a couple: - To appear to servers/services that you are physically located in a different geographical area. This can help you bypass geographically restricted content, such as watching sports programs that content owners don't want you to see based on where you live (local sports broadcast blackouts). Or trick hotels into giving you a better price--yes, hotels can hike the rates they present to you if they think you are nearby--assuming you need last-minute accomodations while you are away on vacation. - To hide your real IP address from servers and/or hide your browsing from intermediaries (your ISP for example) for privacy. This could be so you can avoid being tracked and having your browsing habits sold to advertisers (something your ISP can easily do--SSL does not hide DNS queries although that is changing with the availability of DNS-over-HTTPS and similar), to hide from authorities/copyright enforcers, or for life-and-death reasons (hide from unfriendly governments.)

I wonder what Tim and the rest of us can do to improve membership and more importantly attendance at Technocopia? Is it too far for people to drive? A bad day of the month? A bad time frame? A bad location? We've been trying to keep the remote jitsi stuff working, but technocopia is a bit louder where we sit and meet, and a bit harder to get good sound both ways. I'm hopeful that we can get more people in person, assuming we know what people want? I personally need to come up with an update for my talk on KiCad, updated for version 7. Could anyone do a talk on scribus? Or inkscape? Or do people want more low level linux talks? What do we offer as a group that keeps bringing you back? Or not? Does there need to be more of an agenda? Please give your feedback! John
