*** Please note the updated meeting location below ***

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 14 (Pi Day). The meeting topic for this month is as follows:

Daemon-Dash: Pi-hole

Pi-hole turns your Raspberri Pi (or other supported devices) into a network-wide ad blocker, using DNS redirection. It promises to block over 100,000 ad-serving domains, improve overall network performance and reduce cellular data usage, on any device. Gilbert Detillieux will demonstrate the installation process and typical use of Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi (after all, it is Pi Day!) and describe some pros and cons of the installation method used, as well as some pros and cons of using an ad blocker on your network.

RTFM: shred

This month's RTFM will be presented by Wyatt Zacharias, who will talk about the shred(1) command, which allows you to overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it.

The group usually 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.
