HI Wes, I have 3 kids...I know what you mean, and one of them is only 7 weeks old. The others are 6 yrs and 4 yrs. Come on over and meet WLUG and see if we're the kind of group that will interest you. If we have the BBQ as stated, then you're more than welcome to show up. If not, we'll just have our regular meeting in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI, and you can still show up and be welcomed. :-) If you bring a Microsoft box to the meeting for any purpose other than target practice, and you won't be welcomed. Pretty simple, eh? :-) :-) I haven't posted anything on the WLUG website about our last meeting, but here's how it went. I brought my new laptop with my wireless access point and my wireless network card. Chuck Anderson brought his laptop, cat5 cable, and his hub. We established a connection between the two computers and showed the crowd how we did it. We did not prepare anything in advance, so the 1 or 2 snags that we hit (and quickly fixed) ended up being more realistic to the audience. Many folks commented that they liked this style over the formal presentation style (which seldom says what to do when things *don't* work).

Re: Reminder! Meeting Next Week on May 13th 2021!

Tim> We've got a meeting on May 13th! Dang, won't make it because I'm travelling for work. Half vaccinated too. I get the second after I get back, yay! Tim> For topics, there's a whole lot to talk about! Obviously the UMN Tim> stuff, as well as the x86 decoder fun. And I wish I had more to talk about zeek too. It was interesting getting it installed, but I recently rebuilt that box to run the TP-Link Omada software on a dedicated box. I'm annoyed that they're Java web app is so damn far behind in terms of OS support. But having a tool to summarize zeek stuff better would be nice. The daily report was interesting, but not really what I wanted, but I'm not sure what I want. Something simple and ASCII, but focused. Lots to talk about there, but maybe leave that to another meeting. Tim> I think it's worth revisiting having in person meetings..

I've been meaning/wanting to visit Technopia and to even join so as to have a place to go where I can be around other motivated people and work on my Phd (Projects Half Done) stuff. Plus there's good places around there for food afterwards. Heck, in another year or so it might be fun to do a wlug woo-sox game meeting.

Re: Reminder: WLUG Meeting TONIGHT! Topic: Linux Kernel 6.12.x!

by Tim Keller

Very cool! The meeting went great. I ended up doing an inadvertent demo of the kernel when I had jitsi going, a compile on 2 of my 4 cores, plus running cad and my machine just kept on chugging. Technocopia was having a holiday party so we had lots of people wander in as well. All in all, it was great. Tim.

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

by thinkbrown＠gmail.com

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!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We are going to have a meeting tonight. Location: WPI Campus Center Rm 331 Time: 7pm Topic: Um.. yeah, no idea. We'll roll with it. Virtual: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA To everybody who wrote me privately, thank you. My dad is stable and okay, but in no shape to be visited, so WLUG is on! We can definitely talk about ISP's and self hosting and all the challenges that surround it. Vintage games on Linux. We can talk TrueNAS Scale and other stuff. Snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head out for dinner aftwards. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

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!
