MUUG Online Meeting, Tuesday, Oct 12, 7:30pm -- Ardour Audio Software and grepcidr
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 05 Oct '21

05 Oct '21

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting online, on Tuesday, October 12th, at 7:30pm: Ardour Audio Software This month, Troy Denton will be presenting Ardour. Available on Linux (as well as macOS and Windows), Ardour allows you to record, edit, mix and master audio and MIDI projects. If you are an audiophile, or a beginner wanting to know how to get into audio manipulation, or just curious and like to see audio represented graphically, then this presentation is for you. RTFM Katherine Skrupa will be talking about grepcidr, a tool that filters input by IP addresses and networks, using both IPv4 and IPv6. The grepcidr command can be very useful in networks, including mail filtering, network security and log analysis. This will once again be an online meeting. 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 holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second 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.

Apache reverse-proxy woes, solved
by Adam Thompson 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

I finally figured out what I had to do to make Apache 2.4 happy... 1) Unlike everything else in Apache, <Location> blocks are LAST-match-wins, not first. 2) If you have ProxyPass xxx configured in, say, <Location /> and then have <Location /server-status>, you must add a "ProxyPass !" directive in every more-specific location. This is because all Location blocks get *merged* at parse-time into a single config data structure, apparently. So by re-ordering <location> blocks and adding "ProxyPass !" to the namespace bits I didn't want to proxy, it works. -Adam

Reminder: MUUG Online Meeting, Tonight, Sept 14, 7:30pm -- tmux(1)
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

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 14th, at 7:30pm: tmux(1) - THE terminal multiplexer This month, following up on his newsletter article from June, Brad Vokey will demonstrate tmux(1). tmux enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. It can then be detached from your screen and continue running in the background, and then reattached later. Each session is persistent and will survive accidental disconnection (such as a ssh(1) connection timeout) or intentional detaching. Each session can also be attached to multiple different terminals, for easy access to your running server processes and current environment from multiple different computers all at the same time. Brad will go over the basic commands and concepts and will also demonstrate the tmux plug-in manager (tpm) showing us some useful plug-ins including: - tmux-resurrect (persists tmux environment across system restarts) - tmux-yank (tmux plugin for copying to system clipboard) - tmux-autoreload - Watches your tmux configuration file and automatically reloads it on change. - tmux-continuum - Continuous saving of your tmux environment. Automatic restore when tmux is started. Automatic tmux start when computer is turned on. and possibly more, if time permits! This will once again be an online meeting. 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.

Godot open source game engine
by Troy Denton 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

Any game developers on this list? Godot (https://godotengine.org/) is an open-source game engine - I'd call it a viable alternative to the Unity game engine. I recently participated in a "stop waiting for godot" game jam. The idea being, learning this new game engine and making a simple game over a weekend. You can see my little attempt here https://hamnstar.itch.io/log-game, and the rest of the entries at https://itch.io/jam/stop-waiting-for-godot/entries I'm very impressed by this open source project and the quality you can produce with it (note: my little game is intentionally retro-looking :) ) -Troy

CIRA Board nomination
by Bill Reid 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hernan Popper would like to get nominated to participate in the CIRA Board elections. He needs 20 CIRA members to approve of him seeking the nomination. I know Hernan from when we had an active VoIP Muug Interest Group. If you are a CIRA member you should be getting an email with the credentials to support his nomination(probably tomorrow). I was a CIRA Director for 4 years and certainly support him becoming a Director. He has the skill and experience. If you own a .ca domain name and are not a member I encourage you to become one. There are no fees. -- Bill

Climate change is messing with GPS time-keeping!
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

For those of you who took in Wyatt's May presentation on setting up a GPS-based NTP server,... https://muug.ca/meetings/20-21.html#may ... you may be interested in this bit of weirdness... https://twitter.com/ariadneconill/status/1422163289518313474?s=21 TIL: Climate change has resulted in the earth spinning faster, cancelling out leap seconds. “As I previously said, the reason it will affect live GPS is due to, and I hate to say it, global warming causing the earth to speed up, unexpectedly.” So, now you know!... :) Gilbert -- Gilbert E.
