MUUG Meeting, Tuesday, Apr 7, 7:30pm (NEW LOCATION) -- Audio Files for the Audiophile
by MUUG meeting announcements 31 Mar '26

31 Mar '26

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, April 7th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Audio Files for the Audiophile In April’s presentation, Reb James will delve into the nuances of ripping audio CDs into a digital format. Playing on various devices is desirable; more importantly, archiving physical media into files for multiple backups. Discs can be damaged or lost. First is a discussion of suitable lossy/lossless audio formats. Reb tested available codecs in July 2024 with a new setup from previous types. Finally, the 7-step process that transforms audio into better quality than the original. Join us at the April meeting! Where to find the Meeting: **NOTE NEW LOCATION** Winnipeg Senior Citizens Radio Club, 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor WSC is located at 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor, a block South from the St. Mary's / St. Anne's fork, on the West side beside the Miller's Meats. It's in the old fire hall, so you really can't miss it! Look for the red door. There are a limited number of parking spaces for WSC around the building. If you arrive early you'll probably snag one. If not, there is parking available on the nearby streets, such as Mager Dr, or the streets off of St. Mary's such as Blenheim or Clonard Ave. Be careful not to park in nearby private parking lots unless otherwise indicated. There is no elevator, so attendees will have to be able to climb a flight of stairs. Apologies to anyone requiring accessibility. *Please Remove Your Footwear!* To keep the carpets clean and dry, please remove your outdoor footwear at the top of the stairs. Feel free to bring a pair of indoor shoes, sandals, or Crocs to use indoors. *Entry Log Book:* To support WSC operations, we ask all guests to sign the log book provided by WSC as you enter the meeting space.

Reminder: MUUG Meeting, Tonight, Mar 3, 7:30pm (NEW LOCATION) -- NetworkManager
by MUUG meeting announcements 03 Mar '26

03 Mar '26

A reminder that the MUUG meeting will be this evening, both in person and online. See below for details on NEW LOCATION... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, March 3rd, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... NetworkManager: The ifcfg (But Not) Way It's coming... are you ready? NetworkManager is a replacement for the venerable ifcfg or interfaces files that let you configure your network interfaces. Red Hat World(TM) forced every Fedora user to switch to NM in Fedora 41. And a great disturbance in the force was felt. Just as with systemd, your <insert slower distro here> will force you to abandon your cherished way of doing things one of these months/years. "But I love my simple text files!" - so did Trevor Cordes, who will demonstrate at the next meeting how to use NM as close to the ifcfg way as possible using nmconnection files. So when you're forced to change, you can spend 3 minutes on it instead of 3 days.
