I've also got QLC+ lighting control software and an LED instrument with RGBW Leds in it to demo and show off it being controlled by a linux system. QLC+ has slowed down in development lately, but it's an interesting alternative to QLAB when you don't have a Mac, and Qlab only runs on Macs. https://www.qlcplus.org/ https://qlab.app/ For those of you who want me details of the mini PC, it's a Beelink Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 5850U system with 1Tb NVME and 16gb of RAM. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2P486GQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I'm super impressed by what it provides, and it's certainly an upgrade over my old AMD Athlon Phenom II Quad core system I was using as my desktop before. > I recently started (trying!) to use a glove80 keyboard so I'll bring > that along so people can give it a try as well. I'm sad to say that http://www.wasdkeyboards.com where I got my CODE keyboard quite a number of years ago seems to be no more.

Re: [Wlug] Dec 12: Identity Management: FreeIPA, SSSD, Kerberos, etc.

This will be on December 10th? I only ask to confirm as the subject line of the email mentions the 12th. Sounds like some great topics!

Re: Zeek - from yesterday's meeting

by Jon "maddog" Hall

From time to time I used a USB Ethernet port: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/shop/usb-to-ethernet-adapter Generally they are about 25 USD. You might be able to find them on Ebay or other places for less than that. You might as well get a USB 3.0, since it will work with USB 2.0 ports, but USB 2.0 will not support 1 Gbit/second, whereas USB 3.0 will. On the other hand if the networking flow is not 1 Gbit/second then USB 2.0 might work fine. I have found the Linux support for these generic USB Ethernet devices to be generally good. md On Fri, Apr 9, 2021 at 5:09 PM John Stoffel via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > > Guys, > I'm looking into Zeek and unfortunately I don't have a second ethernet > port on my main system, so it's not clear how I'd run a span port off > my main switch to grab traffic. > > What hardware do people recommend for a zeek data collection node?

HI Everybody, I have reserved the HIggins Labs discovery classroom (HL218?) for our upcoming install fest! This is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 24, which is the night which was scheduled for our next WLUG meeting. I thought that the first week of B term would work out well for the WPI undergraduates. In place of the meeting, we'll have the install fest from 6:30 - 9:30 PM (yes, the time is earlier for this occasion). I will update the website shortly. If you know people who are interested in having us help them with a Linux installation, please ask them to send me an e-mail so I can keep track. We can probably accomodate folks who want us to configure something but I'd like to give priority to installations. Voyeurs are most welcome to watch and learn! Would somebody from WPILA please post this information on some appropriate WPI newsgroups, bulletin boards, and the like? I'd like to give priority to WPI students and allow "outsiders" if we have enough space. Remember, we have another install fest in February which is open to everybody.

Thanks! 1+ I sort of know what Kerberos is. Something installed it on one (but only one) of my computers which means when I log on it takes a minute to time out and say: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm while getting initial credentials before letting me in. I've thought of asking why, but don't care enough since it eventually works. Maybe I'll learn something. I know that IP means Internet Protocol, but what is the A? http://www.freeipa.org/ does not seem to say, but Wikipedia spells it out. Identity - Policy - Audit Some sort of GUI front end to Kerberos? I'm not sure I want it, but I should know what it is if only so I can avoid it. I would listen to that. -- Keith _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

So instead of spending $500 on a GPU, I think spending $20 on some cloud rental might be a good use of my money and time. Still watiing on <blanking on his name> to post his setup instructions from New Orleans so we can all start poking at it. Now one big issue I see is that once get generate an image, can you get a version broken into layers? Do professional artists work mostly in layers on computers so they can more easily re-compose their layout? For some of the examples, I though it was really neat, but I'd like to shift the result to the left say to emphasize the background more. But since I'm a terrible artist without any training or much talent, I leave it to others to answer these questions.
