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).

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.

Great meeting last night... but we need topics...

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Thanks for everybody who showed up, we had a great time! We also had a couple new people show which was great! However, it's clear that even doing the virtual meetings, we need to have a topic.. we simply ran out of stuff to talk about... For the next meeting I'm going to do a talk on https://min.io/ It's an open source object storage system that works just like S3 only you can host it locally. IF people have things they'd like to talk about let me know! Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

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: (ingesting) WLUG Meeting..Topic: DNS Redirection.

by Doug Mildram

doug in Maine> Thanks Steve Thibault ! Though I missed the meeting, EXTREMELY COOL "slides" ...Colors!Fonts!Boxes all gorgeous. w/opt reveal.js sidebars which nicely restate the main slides. I'm only on the first few pages! p 3(of 24) alone =worthy of notes+study. I "had to know" what is (+runs on what OS's) a pi-hole, well stated at https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#supported-operating-systems Ah, peeking ahead, more fun/tricks needed. As a former sysadmin (lazy?old?) ex network-engineer, I'm finally motivated to stop feeding the bots ! Price ongoing: $5/mo for a VPS (for TailScale client)..... Guess I'll write that off (mental motivation) for likely ad-blocking improvement. Haven't bought a newish Pi ........Yet. Plus,.... headscale/TailScale seems just too cool to not have, somewhere like gf's house.

Hey Kevin, WLUG is an open door meeting. If you'd like to attend, you're more than welcome to show up.
