Reminder WLUG Meeting tonight! Topic PiHole / Cadoodle!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a wlug meeting tonight! Time: 7pm Date: TODAY!!! July 10th, 2024 Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland Ave. Worcester MA Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: Ad blocking and CAD! I'm going to give a quick demo of a PiHole server I literally built this afternoon running on a Pi5. Pi-Hole is DNS blackholing software that drastically reduces how many ads get served to your browser! Cadoodle! Kevin has finally gotten Cadoodle to a place where he wants to show it to the world so we're going to let him show off his great piece of software! As usual, we'll go out to dinner after the meeting and keep up the conversation! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] REMINDER: Meeting on Wednesday, March 14th at 7 PM

Would anyone be interested in seeing a wireless network in place? I have an Apple Airport working great at home that I could sudo-demo at the meeting... I have the 3com AirConnect PC Card also working on my laptop, which shows how to setup a PC card network adapter under linux as well. The Airport is connected to an IDSL in my apt and pretty easy to configure.. They do have a WIN/MAC client to configure it (my laptop is win/linux dual boot), but I also believe that they have a JAVA client (=linux) but I have not tried using that one yet either. Its about a $400 solution (base and PC CARD - kinda pricey for most college bound) but wicked convient for the home laptop and multiple computers (i.e. laptops and work stations) The airport does takes the place of using a linux box as a router / gateway though :-) It does NAT and a DHCP server - wicked simple and reliable. Just shows another angle / solution. This is low priority so if there is not enough time / interest no biggie... -Jeremy --- Andy Stewart <andystewart(a)mediaone.net> wrote: > > HI everyone, > > This is a friendly reminder: the next WLUG meeting will be held on > Wednesday, > March 14th at 7 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI in Worcester, MA.

Re: Meeting Thursday August 11th 2022! Topic: "Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting"

Who is planning on going to be in-person at WPI for this meeting? I will make the trek out if it is going to happen, but "Possibly" doesn't inspire confidence :-) On Tue, Aug 09, 2022 at 10:45:50PM -0400, Tim Keller via WLUG wrote: > Hey Everybody, > > We've got a meeting on Thursday August 11th 2022 > Topic: Infrastructure as Code website with free hosting. > Physical Location: Possibly the Mid-Century Room at WPI! > Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA > Speaker: Althea Shaheen > > The days of websites simply being static pages of HTML are behind us.

Re: [Wlug] Meeting reminder! Next Meeting Thursday March 12th 2015!!!

by Chuck Anderson

I could bring my ODROID-C1 in, which is similar to Raspberry Pi 2, but with some extra features. We might even have a Raspberry Pi 2 to bring in to compare with. I just upgraded my FreeNAS and loaded the newest Logitech Media Server onto it. I've been reading about how you can run LMS, SqueezeBox emulator clients, and AirPlay-compatible servers on RPi, ODROID, etc. Perhaps I could demo something along those lines. LMS + SqueezeLite allows you to create a whole-house synchronized audio system with multiple listening points over Wi-Fi or ethernet (or each client can stream different things).

REMINDER: Meeting Thursday, June 13th, 7 PM

by Andy Stewart

Hi Everybody, This e-mail is to remind you about the upcoming WLUG meeting which is being held on Thursday, June 13th at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI Campus in Worcester, MA, USA. With the arrival of my new daughter two weeks ago (May 24), it has been very busy at my house. Combined with some unrestful evenings, I have not had any time to prepare a presentation for this meeting. The floor is open for anybody who has a reasonable presentation to make to the group. Please contact me to make arrangements. As you've seen in the past, the presentation need not be extremely fancy. Feedback I've received from group members indicates that these presentations are well received, and are certainly better alternatives to sitting around for an hour trying to figure out what to discuss. :-) Recent Linux developments that might be fodder for discussion are KDE 3.0.x, United Linux, aptget-rpm, Mozilla 1.0, OpenOffice.org 1.0, and probably many other things. At this meeting, we can also attempt to finalize our plans for a WLUG summer barbecue. It might be a good idea to combine this with a 5th year anniversary celebration, as WLUG was originally founded in July of 1997. After the meeting, we will make our monthly pilgrimage to the Boynton Restaurant. -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Reminder! WLUG Meeting tonight! Topic: Fossil!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a virtual meeting tonight, Thursday February 10th. Time: 7pm Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Presenter: Bill Cattey Topic: Fossil - Github in a box! Long time member Bill Cattey will be giving a talk/demo about Fossil. From the website: https://www2.fossil-scm.org/ <https://www2.fossil-scm.org/> Fossil is a simple, high-reliability, distributed software configuration management system with many integrated advanced features, including things such as bug tracking, wiki, forum, email alerts, chat and tech notes. Many of us are daily users of various SCM systems, such as git, so it'll be great to see what other innovations in the SCM space are out there. I'll be recording this meeting and posting it on our youtube channel. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I don't think I would do an in-person meeting. - Bob Evans -----Original Message----- From: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion Sent: Feb 7, 2022 6:14 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion Cc: Tim Keller Subject: [WLUG] Hey Everybody!
