Meeting this Thursday! July 9th, 2026 @7PM, Topic: Rust!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting this week! Date / Time: Thursday July 9th @7PM Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland St. Worcester MA. Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: Rust Programming Language! Long time WLUGer Evan White will be giving a talk on the Rust programming language. Rust recently became a first class citizen in the linux kernel. Designed from the ground up to be type and memory safe it's the new cool kid on the block. Evan will be showing off what he's been doing with rust to wildly extend the functionality of the kobo e-reader. This talk will be oriented towards people who've never used rust before so he'll be getting into the brass tacks and showing us all why we should all abandon our crappy unsafe languages and go all in on rust! As usual after the meeting we'll head out for dinner and keep up the conversation. I hope to see you all there!

I didn't know what that is, so I googled. I am glad the AI has finally passed its Language Proficiency Exam and joined Lambda Pi Epsilon. (Just joking. I know you are referring to CVE-2026-31431, which is easier to remember since it is so close to $\pi$.) Too damn many TLAs! Google also turned up this minority report: https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/05/18/problems-with-ai-assisted-vulner… If anybody cares what I have been working on, part of it is on this page: http://www.nerflings.org/none/fcs/vpsmove.html#gmail If you can answer any of the quesions at the end of that page you may be eligible to apply to be my hero. -- Keith

Or do you just deliver it locally and read it using some other mail program? I ask because with Trixie, dovecot was upgraded to v2.4.x and it's a big problem because the configuration language has been changed, and it's not as stable as the old 2.3.x version is, and some features have been pulled. So I'd be careful upgrading. I've been thinking about deploying "Mail-in-box" instead, just to get more spam filtering, and more integration with DNS, DKIM, SPF, rspam, etc. Doing mail well is a pain. > There were several web pages that said that Debian 13 could not run > fail2ban without special configuration.

Actually, I had nothing to do but sit with my laptop on top of my lap and work on other things, so I left jit.si running and checked back. About 7:45 they showed up in a new room with the meeting in progress. I don't care much about crooked keyboards. WLUG meetings these days are mostly a chance to test my sound and video, which I rarely use otherwise. My big project for the past few weeks was begun in a hurry when the company that hosts the VPS that runs both mail and web servers sent me a message saying they are going out of business. I got another; am sending this mail throught it. The old SVP ran PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" while the new one "Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)" There were several web pages that said that Debian 13 could not run fail2ban without special configuration. Either they were just wrong or it was fixed in some 13.N release. (Does anyone know how to see N?) It seemed to install just fine. But now I have learned enough to reach a higher plane of confusion. I had planned to ask a question, but in trying to ask it I have found the answer; I just misread the man page and made a stupid typo. -- Keith
