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

by Chuck Anderson

I've confirmed that the meeting room is booked, so "Possibly the Mid-Century Room at WPI" means YES! We'll miss you Joel, but I hope to see many others of you there.

RE: [Wlug] LTSP meeting slides - VPNs

by Steve Freitag

Speaking of VPNs... I just noticed that the September 2003 issue of SysAdmin Magazine, which just showed up in my mail box, has and article titled "Build IPSec VPNs Using the Linux Kernel 2.6". The author talks about a native IPsec Stack being part of the new 2.6 kernel. The article is not online as far as I know, but here is a link to a web page describing the issue. http://www.samag.com/articles/2003/0309/ And for those wondering what other goodies might be in the 2.6 Kernel: http://www.kniggit.net/wwol26.html > -----Original Message----- > From: wlug-admin(a)mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf > Of Andy Stewart > Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 7:27 PM > To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > Subject: Re: [Wlug] LTSP meeting slides > > On Sunday 17 August 2003 11:51 pm, Michael Long wrote: > > Andy, thank you for the excellent talk and demo.

Reminder: Upcoming WLUG meeting THURSDAY 7:00 PM

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, Its that time again! The next WLUG meeting will be on Thursday, February 16th at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid Room at WPI in Worcester, MA USA. Directions can be found on the WLUG website. At this meeting, yours truly will give a presentation about getting Linux running on the MikroTik Routerboard 532. I had decided that I wanted to build a silent firewall, no moving parts, running GPL'd software. I used buildroot and Busybox from the embedded Linux world, the Linux kernel (with patches), and the SuSE Firewall scripts, to make a working firewall. The firewall has been up for 13.5 days straight with no discernable problems. It passed a recent screening by nessus. Linux firewall 2.4.30 #12 Sun Jan 22 20:31:58 EST 2006 mips unknown 21:56:47 up 13 days, 12:46, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 I'll bring the box to the meeting and use it in a live demo. I'll have some slides on my laptop as well, which I'll post on the WLUG website afterwards. I also have some items for raffle: 1 Linux Journal magazine from March 2006 (they sent me 2...) Cross Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets Bruce Perens' Open Source Series Prentice Hall ISBN 0-13-147381-6 Linux Patch Management Bruce Perens' Open Source Series Prentice Hall ISBN 0-13-236675-4 Once the meeting concludes, we'll go to the Tech Pizza restaurant nearby. Oh, BTW, Linux world is coming up in Boston during the first week of April. I've received a couple of emails from the Linux world folks. Does anybody have any interest in representing WLUG at this event? I'd like to go, but it depends on whether or not I can get the time off from work. Are people planning to go, because I think we can get a group discount of some kind. I'll print the emails and bring them to the meeting so we can discuss it. I'll post the info to the list afterwards.

Re: [Wlug] Great Meeting last night! Thanks Frank and Jeff!

by Jamie Guinan

Agreed, great meeting. I learned several things from Frank's talk, I had no idea about the "hot plate" and temperature issues. And it was cool to see Jeff's machine in action, despite the hiccups. I should go to more meetings. #sophisticatedcat -Jamie On Fri, 15 May 2015, Tim Keller wrote: > Hey Everybody, > > Last nights meeting was great.
