(virtual BostonLinux BLU Wed Aug16 6:30-9pm?) AlmaLinux OS

by Doug Mildram

Decades (199x-2010) before I found wlug/WPI/you!, I'd (rarely..road wimp, became too lazy,etc..) go to MIT/Cambridge for geek-meetings that a UNIX SysAdmin --> linux-lover might enjoy. I stopped attending their meetings decades ago, but I kept listening quietly to the "discuss" (primary email thread/list of BLU) that I think it morphed into: Boston Linux and Unix http://www.blu.org (trivia: "Announce" includes "Discuss" list, which I get in digest, so a dozen+week becomes sm handful per week. TMI,but see also http://www.blu.org/about_blu/ for a hint at BLU history + leaders. HEAR YE and cool/modern format(s): BLU Meetings, at least some like THIS WEEK's, allow you to --- ATTEND and be yourself? LIVE, with Jitsi, see below, or --- PEEP apparently live and/or later ? with YouTube Live Stream, also below. So this month/week's topic would be new-to-me! Almost-too-timely if you're into Enterprise/RedHat, it seems. Comments and corrections welcome in advance about Alma, or BLU... I know a couple of you (Chuck and who else?) listen(ed) to BLU/discuss! -doug EMAIL ANNOUNCEMENT via "discuss" list: Tue, 15 Aug 2023 From: Jerry Feldman via Announce <announce(a)lists.blu.org> To: BLU Announce <announce(a)blu.org> Cc: Greater New Hampshire LUG <gnhlug-discuss(a)gnhlug.org> Subject: [Discuss] Boston Linux VIRTUAL Meeting , Wednesday, August 16, 2023 - AlmaLinux OS EVENT: When: August 16, 2023 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q&A) Topic: AlmaLinux OS Speaker: Benny Vasquez Chair of Board of Directors, AlmaLinux (attending Maybe) AND Jack Aboutboul Community Manager for AlmaLinux (definitely attending:spkr) Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org Live stream: https://youtube.com/live/a1t2emQp46Q?feature=share Summary: Overview of AlmaLinux OS Abstract: AlmaLinux OS is an Open Source, community owned and governed, forever-free enterprise Linux distribution, focused on long-term stability, providing a robust production-grade platform.

Also, Brandon showed me an interesting MFA token, with small buttons for a pin to allow access to the MFA token when you plug it into a USB port. But I forgot the name of it. Can someone share that with me? John

I'm interested in hearing more about this. I recently gave this a try (I want to use a VM as my work desktop), and it took quite a lot of research and trial and error in order to come up with a working configuration. I setup the system boot off of integrated AMD graphics and automatically start a VM on the nvidia adapter. I pass through the keyboard and mouse via evdev (without evdev, the mouse is practically unusable). This works ok, so long as I don't want to use the host system(!). I'm using the nouveau driver, and that also has issues if I switch inputs on my monitor (as in, my graphical display will cease to exist). How do others set this up? Does anyone have a configuration they are happy with? -Jeff

Re: [EXT] Hierarchical note taking, Joplin, Trilium, browser extensions, etc..

by Tim Keller

The "storing my notes in some sensible format" is high on my list of features. Calle can speak more directly to her needs, but for me I have this giant never ending emacs buffer that's a tangle of web links, snippets of text, random "oh cool ansible" one off commands, etc. It's not scalable, it's on one machine and it lacks good meta data around the entries.. what I can do is say "what were all the links I went to two weeks ago?" Right now I have the equivalent of the pile of somewhat searchable paper two feet high. I've tried to use confluence at work and that product is a horrendous priece of shit. Tim.

It's not open source, but I use Obsidian at work. That said, it stores all the notes as markdown files on disk, so even if the company were to go up in flames, you can still access your notes Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ From: Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Sent: Friday, August 11, 2023 9:31:31 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Cc: Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> Subject: [EXT] [WLUG] Hierarchical note taking, Joplin, Trilium, browser extensions, etc.. At last night's meeting, a new attendee brought up a problem she was having and one of the solutions that got bandied about was Joplin.

Oh, another thing we talked about at Dinner afterwards was Core Rope Memory on the apollo spacecraft. Here's a fun read for all you techies out there: http://www.righto.com/2019/07/software-woven-into-wire-core-rope-and.html And in general, this is a great blog as well. Also, look at the "Curious Marc" youtube channel if you get a chance. Amazing work on bringing back old Apollo Comms and other old hardware. John

Guys, I hope the remote crew found using the Owl to be helpful and useful. Technocopia is a bit louder than other spaces we've used, but the energy is just great. Some of the discussion subjects last night included: - using emacs to interface into a system to track documents and meta-data. This is a personal issue for me too since I have close to 30 years of emails to search through at times. I use a tool called 'glimpse' which is old. Think of it as grep on steroids. First you have to index your docuemnt store, then you search against the index. It does support re-indexing and updating, so you don't have to do a full scan again. Someone mentioned "booyah" as an alternative, but I think that's a false lead. Glimpse is in alot of linux distros, or you can find the source (or a version of the source) here on github: https://github.com/gvelez17/glimpse/tree/master - We then talked about how do you group documents once you've indexed them, since you'd like to find similar documents. This is a hard thing to do. I've been looking on and off for over 15 years and haven't found anything good yet. I'll keep looking, and would love to see other solutions. I don't want something in the cloud, I'd prefer a CLI based interface, and some way to tag or annotate docs with metadata. IDeally in an automated way, but I personally haven't found anything quite yet. I should try to write something, but elisp (or lisp in general) just doesn't grok in my brain. I could try something in perl or python I guess. Lots of tools there. - Thne Kevin hijacked the meeting and gave us a demo of BowlerStudio, which is just amazing work from (mostly) Kevin in terms of what it offers. Very cool. https://commonwealthrobotics.com/ to do a download and run some tutorials. I hope to get around to this in the future myself. - We also talked about how to pass through NVidia graphics cards into VMs, so you can get better rendering performance, and all the issues, tradeoffs and outright problems of doing this. So anyways, a good meeting, lots of random talking and networking. Hope more can make the next meeting in september in person! John
