WLUG Meeting August 14th 2025 Topics: pi5 nvme support, backups

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting this Thursday, August 14th, 2025 at 7PM! Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland Ave Worcester MA. Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA I'm sure we'll have our usual A/V antics.. Topic: pi5 nvme support, backups, round table. I recently had a hardware failure that exposed that my backup solution wasn't that great. This spurred me to get a solution for backups. With a trusty pi5 and some nvme's I've setup a "burp" backup server. I'll show off the pi5 with an nvme or dual nvme setup running Rasbian with ZFS and burp. Then from there I'm sure we'll stray into other topics and I expect the conversation to get lively. As usual, we'll head out for dinner afterwards and keep the conversation going. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Reminder! Meeting this week March 13th! Topic: MinIO / restic

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting this Thursday! Time: 7pm Date: March 14th, 2025 Physical Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland Ave Worcester MA. Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA I was thinking of doing a quick talk about my experiences with MinIO. It's S3 storage on prem that works really great! In addition to that I've been experimenting with restic. Restic is a backup system that can make use of S3/MinIO storage to create efficient backups. Remember, there are two types of people in the world.. Those who have backups and those who *wish they had!* To dovetail with this is another topic that people might find interesting, that is TrueNAS Scale. I've been using it in production and for personal fun as well. Its App stack is pretty slick for people who want to start self hosting. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Physical WLUG Meeting is cancelled tomorrow...

by Chris Thompson

I would certainly recommend organizing in IRC, but for more interaction, Jitsi is worth a shot. Zoom does work very well on Gnu/Linux, but yes - proprietary, so, personally not interested in using them more than I already am coerced to :P Jitsi usually handles rooms with up to about a dozen people pretty well, but often struggles beyond that. Most issues are resolved with a simple reload of the page. Try it out @ either of these instances, no registration require: https://meet.jit.si/ (typically pretty bleeding-edge, so sometimes less stable) or: https://meet.mayfirst.org/ (pretty up to date, but generally more stable of late) Tim, you may be able to recover your ident info with the following, once you've connected with #Freenode. If the name is registered with NickServ, it'll email you at the registered address: /msg NickServ SENDPASS turbox --Chris IRC: wolcen On 3/18/20 11:28 AM, Keith Wright via WLUG wrote: >> Subject: [WLUG] Re: Physical WLUG Meeting is cancelled tomorrow... >> From: madserge--- via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> >> >> Never used IRC before but I do have an app on Manjaro called >> Konversation that I think is a IRC client, would like to join if anyone >> can tell me any info about the chat room that would be great! > How did this work? > > I used IRC once before.

Re: Where to hold meetings..

by Tim Keller

Looking at the replies so far, I'm going to keep the meetings on Thursday. It sounds like more northern places like Leominster might be harder for some and easier for others.. Tim.

Meeting Reminder: Jan. 17th, 2017: "How to pick a single board computer"

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, This is a reminder that there's a WLUG meeting January 17th, 2017! Here's all the vital details! Topic: How To Pick A Single Board Compuer Speaker: Jon "maddog" Hall Time: 7pm Location: Campus Center Room 331 "Mid Century Room" While in the near past there were few choices when it came to "SBC" single board computers, that's not the case anymore. Now there's a whole cornucopia of choices and architectures. Thankfully, Jon "Maddog" Hall is going to get help navigate the myriad of choices. Like always expect his talk to be educational and hilarious! Snacks and refreshments will be provided and as always they'll be pizza down at Tech to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. P.S. I'll be unable to attend this meeting due to a prior engagement. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] Reminder: Upcoming Meeting Wed Oct 10th

by Tim Keller

Andy, The meeting went great. We had one new person show up and we showed off Fedora Core and (I think) Ubuntu. We also started an install on a laptop (but that was a bit rocky). Seven of us then ended up at the Goat's Head for Pizza. I do have to say, that place is MUCH nicer than usual place we have pizza. My vote is that we go back their next meeting!

REMINDER: Meeting on Thursday, Feb 21st

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, Our next meeting is this Thursday, Feb 21st, 2008 at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. I'll update the website when it comes back up. For some reason, I cannot access www.wlug.org at this time. There is currently no specified topic for this meeting. If somebody would like to address the group, please let me know. Otherwise, what I might do is bring in the Ubuntu 7.10/KDE4 CD and we can explore it together. I've only had a brief glimpse of it. Afterwards, we'll retire to a local pizza restaurant for pizzas, sodas, and great conversation on Linux and other related topics. See ya there!

WLUG Meeting This Thursday (2/13/2025) @7PM Topic: JetKVM

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting this Thursday! Time: 7PM Date: 2/13/2025 Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland St. Worcester MA. Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: JetKVM Long time WLUG Member John Stoffel is going to be demoing his JetKVM ( https://jetkvm.com/) It's a next generation KVM over IP that started as a kickstarter and is now a "real product". Fully hackable, this FOSS KVM has a bunch of neat features. As usual expect a lively conversation, a cool demo and our usual shenanigans. Afterwards we'll likely head off for dinner and keep the conversation going! I hope to see you all there! Later, Tim. P.S. It looks as though there is some snow predicted for earlier in the day. If the weather prediction changes and it looks like things are going to be dangerous, I'll let everybody know as soon as possible. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
