According to the calendar at http://www.wlug.org/
there is a meeting next Thursday. Before the
last meeting I volunteered to make a presentation,
mainly because I thought there were no other volunteers.
That turned out not to be the case. Frank gave an
excellent presentation of newer email protocols.
The meeting ended with Tim saying I (Keith) would do it
next time and me saying I could not promise that
because sometimes I have overriding Thursday commitments.
I can now say that I am free next Thursday, and therefore
plan to attend WLUG and can do it then.
Alternately, if someone else has a plan for next meeting
I can do it some other time. No hurry. No worry.

Dec. WLUG meeting reminder! Topic: DMARC, SPF and DKIM
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody!
We've got a meeting tomorrow!
Date & Time: December 13th 2018 @ 7PM
Location: WPI Student Center Mid Century Room (rm 331)
Presenter: Frank Sweetser
Topic: DMARC, SPF and DKIM.
This topic came up on the list as a possible reason why some people weren't
seeing all the mail on the list and I thought it might be an interesting
topic. The good old days of the internet are sadly dead. Now that the
Nigerian princes have given up trying to distribute their money, we're
instead left with more sophisticated attacks. DMARC, SPF and DKIM are a few
of the techniques now being employed to help cut down on spoofed email.
As usual refreshments and snacks will be provided and afterwards we'll head
off from dinner and keep the conversation going.
Thanks,
Tim.

Keith, I can definitely give you a ride. I just don't remember your address.
If you're uncomfortable putting it on the list you can email me directly
at turbofx(a)gmail.com
Frank is going to give a talk about DMARC, SPF and DKIM.
How about we plan your talk for January?
Thanks,
Tim.

Yes, I have missed a couple of meetings,
due to scheduling conflicts,
but would not like to see them stop.

I have a few slides and a vague plan for a short talk.
Still no ride. If it doesn't happen this time,
I'll do it some other time.

Some people take pride in having the latest.
I run an internet host, with name server (by
definition), together with smtpd and httpd,
on a machine with a Tandy monitor, all bought used.

new/old toy soon? (yet another Gigabyte GA-NNN looming)
by Doug Mildram
Thanks for the support and keeping the list alive. Perhaps too alive (I can
rant/ramble!)
Are Gigabyte motherboards OK? I've only had one so far. Now dying perhaps.
Looking ahead..... since I upgrade "combo style" (all ram and cpu
attached/included)
I'm gonna look at (days from now) a used motherboard+cpu+ram+beast
video+beast fan,
hope it fits under my hood, dude speaks well about his retired
GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3 SKT.AM3 AMD870+SB850 4XDDR3-1866, IEEE1394
USB3, SATA3, RAID, ATX
plus cpu,ram, and even fan info on this BEAST of a fan, should i be scared?

doug> I find it cool that a machine/mb that old,
is still way more than I need. I've only got one HD/disk for example.
I'll try to buy her a tiny computer NEW someday if my new/old cheap-out
fails.
I want less power! Good brakes please! Ballpark of $100+ for the combo
you CAN still find online if you dare and you get lucky that it really
works for you.
...below, tangent about the seller i will meet this weekend. Sounds very
smart/honest!
I almost got him interested in our meeting. He said: (plus, he's a CS engr)
Hello network engineer, me> Engineer too....I also
a) use Linux only at home
b) used Linux only on that machine, rock solid :)
The cpu does not come with embedded gpu : I saved 10$ at the time,
too bad now!

Topic of Thursday meeting

Why does one message say From: cra(a)wpi.edu,
and the other From: wlug(a)lists.wlug.org?
(Nervermind, CRA explained that.)
I don't want to try to prevent anyone from talking
about anything, but I don't have much to say about that.
I would have wrote you a letter, but I couldn't spell PHLTT!!
If Frank does not have a presentation, I could commit
by Thursday to make some slides and bring a laptop.
I tested slide-showing a few months ago with the WPI
cable in the Mid-century Room and it worked.
Here's the catch: My usual ride is unavailable that
day. I don't drive and I have not been walking well.
I used to walk to WLUG; I fell on the hill.
No problem; I got up and went on; it happens.
I don't want to be carrying heavy and fragile equipment.
I tried to go for a walk this morning, but fell and skinned
my knee at the end of my own driveway.
If someone could commit to pick me up at my house
about 1/2 hour before the meeting I would make sure
I was ready enough to fake it. I live about a mile
from WPI. Send me mail.
I will show you some of what I have been doing,
and how I do it.
The title of my talk:
Love Programs work better than Love Poems
Computatational Metaphysics
Why and how to write soutce code that can be read
Or something else if I thnk of it.
Someone said recently that one of the best talks
ever was Doug Waud showing TeX printing stuff nobody
understood. I thought: "I could do that".
I am not a pharmacist, so I will dazzle you with
Scheme programs and Algebraic Geometry run through LaTeX.
All in living black and white (or glowing green).

I missed that meeting, and I think the one before that,
due to scheduling conflicts.

If you want 140 character dim witticisms,
you know where to look. This not that.

Yes. If you did not see Tim's announcement of the same,
then something is wrong.
Which leads me to my proposal, which I will put in another
message so that it is not lost at the bottom.

PS: While I was writing this, two new messages came to me
from wlug, one appears to be a copy of Doug Mildram's message
dated 2018-12-09 the other a reply to that.
