0. Thanks for the birthday wishes! My wife has pointed out that I've been
involved in WLUG for more than half my adult life at this point!
1. As for the dinner location, I have no idea, it's a surprise!
2. I'm totally down for having an in person meeting, we'd just have to find
a venue. The Hudson library worked really well, I'd be cool for that, of
other places are more central to others, we can figure something out.
Please propose locations and we'll figure out what works. I'm also not
opposed to having a rotating set of locations as long as it doesn't become
too confusing.
3. TrueNas Scale does look cool. There's talk of putting gluster on to of
ZFS for scale out storage, which slightly distresses me. I played with
gluster back in the day and was rather unimpressed with it, maybe it's
matured a bit) but last week poking at FreeBSD on a VM got me thinking
about TrueNAS and it's partner project TrueNAS Scale (which is a debian
based version of TrueNAS that supports containers, KVM, etc.
4. I was given a Raspberry Pi Zero as a gift. Apparently there's a tiny
unix you can run on it!
Later,
Tim.

Is this in person?

That will be interesting to look at.
Happy Birthday Tim!
You share a Veterans Day Birthday with my wife and many millions of others...

Hey Gang,
My birthday is on the 11th and the family is taking me out for dinner.
We'll have the meeting on the 18th instead! I've got some ideas for topics, but if someone has a burning desire to talk about something, let me know!
Otherwise I think I'll show off my experiments with TrueNAS scale.
Thanks,
Tim.

Hey Gang,
My birthday is on the 11th and the family is taking me out for dinner.
We'll have the meeting on the 18th instead! I've got some ideas for topics,
but if someone has a burning desire to talk about something, let me know!
Otherwise I think I'll show off my experiments with TrueNAS scale.
Thanks,
Tim.

This is a reminder that we've got a virtual meeting this Thursday October
14th.
Topic: tbd, dojo, Linux in space, Linux is now running native on the m1,
plus the usual banter, etc. Should the next meeting be physical?
Date: 10 / 14 / 2021
Time: 7pm
Location: Jitsi @ https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
I hope to see you there!
Later,
Tim.
I should point out that going forward, all physical meetings are also going
to connected to the Jitsi meeting as well.
I don't want anybody to feel that they can't attend the meeting due to
mobility issues or scheduling conflicts.
Tim.

Hey Gang,
Enough people have reached out to me privately that they want to attend
remotely, that I think it makes sense to do the meeting virtually this
month.
The meeting will be at the usual virtual place: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
<https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA>@7PM.
Speaking with Frank WPI is off the table as a meeting location. Tonight I
think it warrants a conversation about where we'd like to do physical
meetings. They are going to happen, I'd like to pick a spot that works for
everybody.
I'm sure lots of other topics will come up as well.
See ya there!
Later,
Tim.

Cool!

Virtual is for the best right now I think. But I'm not sure I'll be
able to make it due to other commitments. We will see.

Where do in-person meetings happen? It's my understanding
that we (or anyone) can not go to WPI without a damn good
reason and a nose swab.
No matter. I don't drive and can barely walk. I don't want
to be stuck at a meeting all night, but if it is done by
video chat then I will check it out at 7pm (right?); hang out
for an hour or two; then, with a point and a click, be
teleported back to my living room in time for supper.
