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.

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.

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

Next Meeting: Thursday Feb 13 in Harrington Forkey Conference Room

by Chuck Anderson

All meetings for 2014 are scheduled for the 2nd Thursday of each month. So the next one is Feb 13. The location just for this month is different due to a scheduling conflict. This month, the meeting will be held in: Harrington Auditorium, Forkey Conference Room 209 To find this room, go to the northwest end of the Quad, where the new Recreation Center meets Harrington Auditorium. There is an exterior door on the far left front corner of Harrington (not the main doors in the center of the front), just to the right of the stairway that leads down to the new Park Ave Garage. Go in that door, and straight ahead down the hallway leads to the Forkey Conference Room. In fact, you can probably safely park in the visitor's parking spaces around the edge of the Park Ave Garage, and walk up the stairway between Rec Center and Harrington to the Quad level, and the correct door will be around the corner on your left. I would like to see someone talk about Software Defined Radio if there is someone willing... Home backup solutions is always a good topic...

Re: Hosting in-person meetings at library

by joshua.gage.stone＠gmail.com

Yeah, I wasn't sure how much of a commute driving to Hudson would be. I figured since it was a 20-25 minute drive from WPI that it'd be in the general vicinity for people who're probably commuting in central MA. I figured it'd be worth trying at least once since we've been discussing transitioning back to in-person meetings for some time, and it was something I was able to set up with ease since the library is down the street from my home. - Josh On Thu, 2021-07-15 at 13:38 +0000, THE HAMMER via WLUG wrote: > The Hudson Location involves more driving for me.

So the meeting was good, but we need to work some kinks out with the A/V. The video was good, but the audio was definitely something to be desired. I'm going to work on getting some better omni directional mics for future meetings. Beyond that we had a very interesting conversation about the future of wifi with the 6e and 7 standards. We also delved a bit into some FOSS alternatives to popular commerial products like discord and options for unencumbered music players. Later, Tim.
