07 Oct '25

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, October 7th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... ncdu Brad Vokey will present and demo "ncdu" (NCurses Disk Usage), a powerful, interactive, and fast disk usage analyzer for Unix/Linux systems. It provides a text-based user interface (TUI) based on the ncurses library, offering a more user-friendly and visual way to explore disk space consumption compared to the traditional "du" command. RTFM: /bin Diving If time permits, we will also be taking a dive into the /bin, with this month's host Trevor Cordes. /bin Diving is our segment where we pick a random program in /bin to demo and discuss and learn about as a group. It's improv at its best! 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 is no elevator, so attendees will have to be able to climb a flight of stairs. Apologies to anyone requiring accessibility. 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. For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.) The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.

Reminder: MUUG Meeting, Tonight, June 3, 7:30pm (In-person/Hybrid Meeting) -- RawTherapee, RTFM: /bin Diving
by MUUG meeting announcements 03 Jun '25

03 Jun '25

A reminder that the MUUG meeting will be this evening, both in person and online... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, June 3th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... RawTherapee Wyatt Zacharias has volunteered to give us a quick demo of RawTherapee. Take your photography to the next level with RawTherapee. Modern DSLR (and now mirrorless) camera sensors are capable of capturing dynamic range far beyond what a standard 8-bit JPG can display. By capturing the raw sensor data from the camera we can access up to 14 bits of dynamic range and adjust our photos non-destructively and without any loss of quality. RawTherapee provides a full suite of photo editing tools including color correction, white balance, noise and distortion correction, and many more. RTFM: /bin Diving 5.0, The Brazilian Strikes Back! Due to overwhelming meeting participation (and a little board member peer pressure), we have somehow convinced our Brazilian board member, Alberto Abrao, to take a spin at trying to figure out what a random /bin command does, live. Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2 For one last time, we are again meeting at Brad Vokey's work office. The meeting room will be open by 7:00 pm, with the actual meeting starting at 7:30 pm. If driving, enter the lot using the most north east entrance and drive around to the south west corner of the building (see route in map detail on poster linked below). You can use any of the free, ample, and safe parking spots that say "reserved" in front of units #1 through #4 before entering unit #2. Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150 meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27 are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south. For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.) The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* Tuesday of every month from September to June.

Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. A reminder that the MUUG meeting will be this evening, both in person and online... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, May 6th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Backup & Disaster Recovery for Cloud Services Cloud services are great, but like any computer system they need regular backups. A bunch of files isn't so hard to arrange backups for, but what about more complex scenarios involving services? What if the services completely disappear due to some disaster - how will you recover to the point of having running services again, possibly on a different server? Kevin McGregor will present some thoughts on backup, recovery and disaster recovery with a specific example of a simple Mediawiki site. RTFM: /bin Diving 4.0, A New Hope! Our first 3 installments of /bin Diving were a big success, meaning, at least nobody threw rotten tomatoes at us! So, being a glutton for punishment at trying to figure out what a random /bin command might be able to do, Gilbert Detillieux will dive into the deep end of the /bin again, and see what random gem can be found this time. Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2 We have a new in-person meeting location now!
