Re: WLUG Meeting June 13th 2019! Topic: Side Channel Attacks

Hey Kevin, WLUG is an open door meeting. If you'd like to attend, you're more than welcome to show up. As far as this months topic, It might also be worth talking about cpu management engines, since they're also a major source of vulnerabilities, as AMD found out this week. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/psptool-amd-secure-technology-psp-firmwar… Logan On Sat, Jun 8, 2019, 07:34 Kevin via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > I have been on the mailing list a while..... > > I would like to come up a meeting this Jun 13. > > Are there any specifing instructions for a first time visitor? > > > On 6/7/19 9:10 AM, Tim Keller via WLUG wrote: > > Hey Everybody, > > We've got a meeting on Thursday June 13th at 7PM! > Location: WPI Campus Center Mid-Century room (rm 331) aka, the usual haunt. > > After last meeting we ended up having a side conversation regarding the > now multiple side channel attacks that the Intel microarchitecture is > vulnerable to. > > I thought it might be a good time to actually deep dive what these are, > why they keep happening, why they're likely to continue and what efforts > are being put in to try to mitigate them and the effects these migrations > have on performance. > > As usual snacks and refreshments will be supplied and afterwards we'll > head off for dinner to continue the conversation. > > Thanks, > Tim. > > -- > I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their > constituents as "consumers". > > _______________________________________________ > WLUG mailing list -- wlug(a)lists.wlug.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)lists.wlug.org > > _______________________________________________ > WLUG mailing list -- wlug(a)lists.wlug.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)lists.wlug.org >

Speaking of interesting meetings...

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ...what do you all propose for a topic for the Sept. 8 meeting? More importantly, does anybody want to do a presentation or lead the discussion? This month, I've been debugging USB problems on my server, and I think I may have made some progress on USB 1.x, but not on USB 2.x. I'm not sure if this is a meeting topic - howto get stuff to work on USB and how to debug it if it does not. Your thoughts? Thanks!

Re: [Wlug] Its Meeting time !

I don't mind bringing them in > though.... HI Eric et al, Many people have indicated an interest in LDAP, but as yet, nobody has volunteered to do an LDAP presentation. If/when this happens, it will be at some future WLUG meeting (not Aug 2005). I would like to see this happen! In an earlier email, Frank Moody said that he would see about setting up his iRiver with his laptop. With that, I think the meeting would then be about MP3 players. Eric, please bring your ipod and whatever you need to do a demo of it. If anybody has a different type of MP3 player that works with Linux, bring it along, (the more, the merrier). I had hoped to have my new MP3 player for the meeting, but the dude on eBay from whom I purchased this player is taking his time shipping it to me (auction closed 02-aug, not shipped yet...). Thanks!

Re: [Wlug] New to the group

by Tal Cohen

Hi Andy, and hello to everyone in WLUG! I will definitely try to make May's meeting. I have been working on various X-nix based systems since 1999 (Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Red-Hat, and now CRUX). I do a lot in Perl, MySQL, Nagios, BASH, and Apache. Interests...varies depending on what I am doing at any given time. I would like to learn more about IPC programming and multi-process threading in X-nix. I like getting my hands dirty working with hardware. I would not mind learning more about building custom hardware that interfaces with a system...perhaps robotics or telecom (don't get the wrong idea, I have little knowledge in this area right now).

I'm stuffed with pizza and soda. Hopefully you'll be able to come to a few meetings and meet folks. We meet once per month at WPI in Worcester, MA USA.

WLUG meeting and presentation material

by Joshua Stone

Hey everyone, Thank you again for letting me present on Silverblue, Toolbox, and Flatpak for December's WLUG meeting! I've uploaded a PDF copy of the slideshow material to my Google Drive for anyone who couldn't make it to the meeting and/or wants to look at some of the references inside: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FJc9864buwRFS5UktivfffU7u9CySSKB Admittedly the material itself can be difficult to understand as it was made more to complement an oral presentation format, but I could continue improving on the material to make it more complete if there's enough interest, plus much development has been going on around containers that it makes sense to update it anyway. I hope everyone is having an excellent time enjoying the holidays! -Josh

Re: Reminder! Meeting tomorrow @ 7pm @ Technocopia!

by Tim Keller

Last night's meeting was great! We got Matt setup with a macbook running Ubuntu, got into the weeds talking about SSSD and rounded it out with some talk about the pi5. Kevin then showed off the Eagle file browser. Hopefully next month we'll have a pi5 to do some hands on screwing around with! Later, Tim.

Every year, before the end of the calendar year, you see these TV shows which summarize the news from the past 12 months. What about Linux news from this year that could be summarized at the meeting? OK, I'm grabbing at straws here......maybe I'll just stick with the chips and dip. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

WLUG meeting idea - Distro comparison

by joel d

I am setting up a new laptop and trying to decide on which distro to go with... Probably the same list of finalists as everyone else in no particular order (Red Hat / CentOS / Fedora / Ubuntu / Gentoo / others). Has WLUG done a disto comparison night meeting? I think it might be interesting. Each person bring in a laptop with their favorite mainstream distro (possibly 3 or 4). Spend 20 to 30 minutes on each, showing the major differences (installs / apps handling / etc) and why they like it. Probably not a new idea. If it's been done of late then please disregard as I cannot make as many meetings as I once could. (This is due to my personal schedule not due to lack of interest.) Joel
