07 Apr '26

A reminder that the MUUG meeting is happening, both in-person and online, this evening... 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. Online Meeting Option: For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual.

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.

MUUG Meeting, Tuesday, Jan 6, 7:30pm (NEW LOCATION) -- Linux File System Encryption
by MUUG meeting announcements 30 Dec '25

30 Dec '25

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, January 6th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Linux File System Encryption With increased threats to information security, and increased demands for compliance with privacy laws, data encryption is becoming an important requirement. But deciding between available solutions can be complicated. Multiple options are of course available for Linux, but which one is best may depend on your use case. In this presentation, Gilbert Detillieux will describe 3 different options: LUKS works at the raw disk/partition level, and may be best for removable media, laptops, and systems where full disk encryption is needed. At the file-system level, eCryptfs and Fscrypt allow for encryption on a file or directory basis, with support for multiple users and keys. Each solution has its limitations and advantages. 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.

MUUG Meeting, Tuesday, Dec 2, 7:30pm (NEW LOCATION) -- Round-Table, Show & Tell, and Pot Luck
by MUUG meeting announcements 25 Nov '25

25 Nov '25

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, December 2nd, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Round-Table, Show & Tell, and Pot Luck As 2025 draws to a close, MUUG continues the now 14-year-old traditon of turning the December meeting into more of an informal, social event. Kevin Abedi has graciously arranged to let us use Skullspace, at 374 Donald St., as our venue again. We will have our usual round-table session, as well as a few show-&-tell items presented. Bring your favourite gadget! We will have the usual (brief) round-table session, some time for mingling, eating, and drinking, maybe followed by a couple short gadget show-&-tell presentations, and then more time for mingling, eating, and drinking. This will be an in-person pot-luck snack event! Members are encouraged to bring their own food to sample and share with others. (Finger food works best.) Feel free to bring your own special drink as well - just remember that we don't have a liquor license! But please, stay home if you are sick. We will also attempt to simulcast the live round-table and short presentations over BigBlueButton for those that can't attend in person for any reason, whether snow, or sleet, or illness. Where to Find the Meeting: Skullspace, at 374 Donald St. We will be in room 200. Please note that this location is not mobility accessible. There are 3 flights of stairs and it is 1.5 stories up. There is no Winnipeg Jets home game on December 2nd so close downtown street parking should be plentiful and easy to find. One of the best blocks for street parking is Notre Dame after Hargrave. There are also several commercial parking lots in the area including right behind the Skullspace building. The F8 bus route has a southbound stop (#10667) on the same block of Donald, in front of the Yellow Dog Tavern. It's also reasonable to walk from stops on Graham, Portage, Smith, King, and Notre Dame. Doors will be open starting at 7:15 pm with the meeting starting at 7:30 pm. After 7:45 pm the doors may be locked so you will need to call the Skullspace number (204-480-4092) and we'll answer and come down to let you in. Food Bank Donations Requested As in previous years, we are combining our pot luck event with a food drive for Harvest Manitoba. Any member who donates at least $1 or brings at least 1 food item will be given an entry into the door prize! Just like last year, any cash donation made to Harvest Manitoba at this event will be matched dollar for dollar by Bradford Vokey (up to a total $500 limit)! Last year MUUG members donated $128 (an appropriate power of 2) which Brad had to match for a total donation of $256 to Harvest Manitoba. Let's all chip in to make Brad donate more! Top 10 Most-Wanted Food Items 1. Canned Fruit 6. Pasta Sauce 2. Canned Soup/Stew 7. Rice 3. Canned Tuna 8. Peanut Butter 4. Canned Vegetables 9. Baby Formula/Food 5. Pasta 10. Instant Oatmeal Online option: For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual.
