Re: Red Hat controversy

by Jon "maddog" Hall

Hi, I have been writing up a response to this that goes much deeper into the discussion than most articles I have read have done. Because I have been busy doing other things (Board Chair of the Linux Professional Institute, defending the Linux Trademark AGAIN, doing virtual presentations and preparing for a long trip to Latin America) I have not had time to finish it, but I should be able to finish it this weekend. I have given drafts to other LPI board members, many of whom have been in the FOSS space almost as long as I have and some have been in the computer space....no...few people have been in that space as long as I have. So far the comments have been good, some saying it was "great". When it is finished I will post it to the LPI blog (free for everyone to read) and let you guys know. I would also be happy to talk about it in great depth at a WLUG meeting. Spoiler Alert: There is no evil here, and out of it could come great good.

Re: Meeting THIS WEEK, July 10th, 2025! Topic: ?TrueNAS? Pi Kiosk displays?

by Tim Keller

I recently bought for my pi5 an actual cooler amd a hat that'll let me connect a m.2. I've hinted at setting up a zulip server and other stuff on it and then serving it over a tailsacale funnel.

Re: Dec meeting.. not the 14th! 21st or 28th?

by Robert Schwein

You've pretty much hit the high points Chuck. From my own experience when going overseas if I'm able to VPN to the country I'm going to, the rental car reservation is considerably less in cost to reserve that car than if I reserved it from state side.

Re: [Wlug] Upcoming meetings - topic proposals

by Tom Martinson

Hello. I am new to this LUG. So I would like to say hello. Peter said that his wife has to connect to his SaMBa server from UMass. When I have had similar situations What I did was to setup a VPN using PPTP. That way you can block All SMB traffic to the outside world. Connect to the PPTP termination point with your client. Setup up the Tunnel and then the SMB information is passed on the inside of the tunnel. Thus keeping the integrity. Also this gives a smaller "signature" for your firewall/server to the real world. Just a though. Peter Gutowski wrote: > Well, so far it's not been a problem, although I keep a close watch on suspicious activity. (You'll notice entries for hosts allow and hosts deny.

Hey Forrest, Great to hear from you! It's nice to see a fellow resident! More on the parking situation, the town does list numerous public parking spots in downtown that visitors can use, most within a few minutes of walking: https://www.discoverhudson.org/plan-your-visit/ - *Library:* 3 Washington St, <https://www.google.com/maps/place/3+Washington+St,+Hudson,+MA+01749> Hudson <https://www.google.com/maps/place/3+Washington+St,+Hudson,+MA+01749> - *South Street Parking Lot:* 25 South St, Hudson <https://www.google.com/maps/dir/25+South+St,+Hudson,+MA+01749/Hudson+Public…> - *Avidia Lot after 6PM:* 78 Main St, Hudson <https://www.google.com/maps/dir/78+Main+St,+Hudson,+MA+01749/Hudson+Public+…> - *Cellucci Parking:* 23 Houghton St, Hudson <https://www.google.com/maps/dir/23+Houghton+St,+Hudson,+MA+01749/Hudson+Pub…> - *RailRoad Ave. and Church Street Parking:* Nearby 29 Church St, Hudson <https://www.google.com/maps/dir/29+Church+St,+Hudson,+MA+01749/Hudson+Publi…> - *2 Hour Parking Lot:* 8 South St, Hudson <https://www.google.com/maps/dir/8+South+St,+Hudson,+MA+01749/Hudson+Public+…> There are also plenty of side streets that people will use for off-street parking. Admittedly Hudson's parking situation isn't the most convenient for visitors who aren't used to the area, and this is backed up with a parking study: https://www.townofhudson.org/sites/g/files/vyhlif3281/f/pages/parking_repor… *There are 1,400 parking spaces, but many spaces are hard to find. * > − There is a perception of lack of parking > − Many lots do not have clear or visible signage that indicates whether or > not one can > park there > − There are more than a dozen different types of regulations > − Half of off-street parking is "restricted access", meaning that the lots > are not available > to the general public > − There are some lots that are publicly owned and available to the general > public, yet > most of the stakeholders and workshop participants we spoke with did not > know they > existed > − Some parking areas are difficult to find from the roadway and/or > challenging to > access, so they end up being underutilized > − Overall signage is confusing to customers > The study is fairly old and the parking situation may have improved since then, but I think the point is clear that there's a demand for improved parking. I hope the town will do more to make parking easier to find instead of adding more parking spaces. We definitely have plenty of parking, it's just that visitors may have to plan ahead as it's not designed like a shopping plaza with massive parking lots in front of storefronts. I also hope the town will do more to invest in transit so car traffic and parking demand are reduced. As it stands right now, our regional transit authority has a fairly limited schedule and its coverage isn't great either: https://www.mwrta.com/routes/fixed-routes/route-15 It is for example technically possible to travel from Hudson to Boston via bus and train, but it will take an excruciatingly long time, requires multiple transfers, and may even be at times be unsafe due to poor pedestrian infrastructure along the route: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Peter's+Grove,+11+Lake+St,+Hudson,+MA+01749/Back+Bay,+145+Dartmouth+St,+Boston,+MA+02116 This is why my wife and I compromise by driving to the train station first when going on day trips into the city. We hope to further reduce our car dependency by having more robust public transit in the central Mass area. There's something to be said by having the freedom to travel to places without needing to take several tons of privately-owned metal with you. - Josh On Fri, Nov 19, 2021 at 8:06 AM Forrest S via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Hey Tim, > > Names Forrest I introduced myself a while back on the forum I live in > Hudson and know the area pretty well so I will be there for my first > in-person meeting and so for everyone who does not know there is a parking > lot in the back behind the fire station it is right next to the library > _______________________________________________ > WLUG mailing list -- wlug(a)lists.wlug.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)lists.wlug.org > Create Account: https://wlug.mailman3.com/accounts/signup/ > Change Settings: > https://wlug.mailman3.com/postorius/lists/wlug.lists.wlug.org/ > Web Forum/Archive: > https://wlug.mailman3.com/hyperkitty/list/wlug@lists.wlug.org/message/EYMTC… >
