I am very interested in this topic. Hoping I will make it to the meet.

March 14th 2024! Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting next week! I think it's really worth talking about Self hosting. It's come up a couple of times, I think it's worth talking about what the options are, what they might cost and what can be hosted both using on prem hardware and your own cloud instances, options for networking, etc. I'd like people's ideas, caveats, etc. What have people hosted? Plex, etc. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Well, there's plenty talk about for CentOS users, like what you're going to switch to now that CentOS is becoming something completely different: https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/ On Tue, Dec 8, 2020, 10:33 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Well, we made it..

Reminder: Upcoming WLUG meeting

by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at the usual place (the Access Grid room, WPI campus, Worcester, MA USA). Detailed directions can be found on the WLUG webpage. At this meeting, our featured speaker is J.D. "Illiad" Frazer, the author of the comic strip UserFriendly. You can read the comic strip at http:// www.userfriendly.org. There are more details, such as biographical information, and an explanation of the comic strip's characters, linked from the WLUG home page. This meeting will be broadcast onto the Access Grid. For those who don't know, the Access Grid can be considered to be video conferencing on steroids. Read more about it at this site: http://www.accessgrid.org. There are only a few such sites in all of New England, but there are almost 200 sites worldwide: Boston University Worcester Polytechnic Institute Dartmouth Univ. of Maine - Orono I am going to try to get to Softpro and see if I can pick up a couple of UserFriendly books for the raffle. As usual, light refreshments will be served. After the meeting, we'll adjourn to some local restaurant. I'm not sure, but I think the Boynton Restaurant is still undergoing major renovations and is thus closed. In that event, we can probably go to the mexican place (Tortilla Sams, I think its called). Get there early...there are only 25 seats... :-) See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Re: July WLUG Meeting will be online tonight @7pm

by Chuck Anderson

Suggested topic of discussion: https://comsec.ethz.ch/research/microarch/retbleed/ Retbleed: Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return Instructions Retbleed (CVE-2022-29900 and CVE-2022-29901) is the new addition to the family of speculative execution attacks that exploit branch target injection to leak information, which we call Spectre-BTI. Unlike its siblings, who trigger harmful branch target speculation by exploiting indirect jumps or calls, Retbleed exploits return instructions. This means a great deal, since it undermines some of our current Spectre-BTI defenses.

I expect to be there (here). > Topics tonight will likely include the UMN debacle, I'm from Minnesota, so to me UMN means University of MN, what does that have to do with Linux? It must be some variant of Universal Markup. So I did what we do, ask google. UMN is University of MN; try again. "UMN Debacle" is some drug test done at UMN that went bad, needs someone to blame. Eventually I find that UMN also got some bad code into the Linux update stream and had their write permissions revoked. I had heard on the radio that something like that had happened, but didn't remeber where it came from, and the radio news readers/reporters clearly didn't know what they were talking about anyway. Next! > the encoder/decoder vulnerability stuff, No time to look that up. I'll have to fake it. > probably some other Linux related stuff! Oh good. We are finally going to have a discussion of use of Scheme macros based on linear logic to produce provably correct concurrent programs. I am getting ready by re-reading the proof of the Myhill-Shepherdson theorem. > I'd also like to talk about meeting in person. Why would I do that? There are some people I am eager to meet in person, because I want to feel them up. None of those people are WLUG members (sorry if that hurts your feelings, but it's best to be honest). I am vaccinated, but I am also on immuno-supressor drugs, haven't driven for 15 years, and haven't been in the same room as some of those people alluded to above for 15 months. It's too soon for me. Go ahead and meet downtown if you wish; I doubt I will be there for a while. I hope the video-chat meetings go on for a while concurrently (with a provably correct procedure, of course!). -- Keith
