The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting online, on Tuesday, October 13th, at 7:30pm: OpenBSD Traffic Shaping and Firewall Setup Alberto Abrao will show how to set up an OpenBSD box as a router, with a basic firewall, DHCP server etc., and as a bridging firewall, where it behaves like a transparent barrier. Alberto plans to touch on subjects such as the reasons for doing so, the motivation for the choices made, the hardware needed, OS installation and basic configuration. Then, he will give an overview of both scenarios aforementioned, and how to accomplish them. Door Prizes On top of the usual assortment of e-books on offer this month, we'll have fifteen new AI & Machine Learning titles from O'Reilly added to the batch (subjects such as Data Science, PyTorch, R, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, SQL, SAP). Join the meeting: https://jitsi.merlin.mb.ca/muug.2020.09 The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June.

Reminder: MUUG Online Meeting, Tonight, Sept 8, 7:30pm -- AWS Quickstart, RTFM: fd(1)

A reminder that the MUUG online meeting will be on Jitsi this evening... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting online, on Tuesday, September 8th, at 7:30pm: AWS Quickstart For the new user, the multitude of AWS services and configurations can be daunting. Wyatt Zacharias will show how to start an AWS account from scratch, including how to properly set up your user credentials, and how to get a VM up and running for the first time. RTFM: fd(1) - a simple, fast, user-friendly alternative to find(1) Most Linux users are all too familiar with the find command and its frustrating syntax. This month, Brad Vokey will show us an alternative to the find command, called fd. Some of the features of fd: convenient syntax: fd PATTERN instead of find -iname '*PATTERN*', colourized terminal output, it's fast!, uses smart case by default, ignores hidden directories and files by default, ignores patterns from your .gitignore by default, uses proper PCRE, and the command name is 50% shorter than find. :-) Door Prizes On top of the usual assortment of e-books on offer this month, we'll have a hard copy of the O'Reilly book "Unicode Explained" as a door prize. The book will be available for pick-up, drop-off, or snail-mailing.

Re: [Muug] [RndTbl] MUUG Meeting, Tonight (Mar 10), 7:30pm -- FreeSWITCH Asterisk Clone
by MUUG meeting announcements 10 Mar '20

10 Mar '20

Regarding good science on keeping ourselves safe, individual action is very important, except we can accomplish much more and this with less effort through collective action as borne out by a super CBC Q&Q program 20200228 providing some honest-to-goodness good science. For details please see "We may have passed the tipping point in the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak" @ the following which includes a link to the 15 minute program segment. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/feb-29-coronavirus-containment-window-closi… From other news Canada is one of very few countries that is using early detection standards with almost zero human to human transmission while countries such as Italy and Iran have already experiencied explosive transmission trends and the US is close behind all because they only test once the patients are gravely ill and by that time containment is nearly impossible. California, Washington and New York are at the cusp of widespread transmission vectors. In short because of our proximity and interexchange with the US, BC foremost followed by Ontario East are at greatest risk of being the early adopters of this outbreak. BTW sneezing/coughing into your elbow is actually very poor science as explained by Q & Q. If you cough into your hand, best with a tissue and then wash immediately, this is much better science than coughing into your elbow when the virus can survive for over a week and each time you cross your arms you reinfected your hand...
