Please note our current meeting location:
In light of the current concerns over COVID-19 and the risk of infection,
and current directives from the
University of Winnipeg,
MUUG meetings will take place online (typically using BigBlueButton)
until further notice.
Meeting link will be provided on the home page,
prior to meeting start time.
This month, we had a couple short RTFM-style presentations:
First, Brad Vokey presented on bpytop/btop++.
Next, Trevor Cordes (who normally prefers working quietly behind the scenes
on coding or newsletter editing) presented on configuring rsyslog
to suppress annoying log messages.
Bpytop - a Python port and continuation of bashtop(1)
This month Brad Vokey gave us a quick demonstration of
byptop,
as well as its new sibling,
btop++.
Bpytop is a colorful, efficient, responsive, terminal resource monitor
that shows usage and stats for your processor, memory, disks, network
and processes.
Written in Python by the original author of
bashtop,
the author claims it is faster and much better supported.
(Btop++ is essentially a rewrite in C++.)
Add some bling to your original old
top(1) command!
Fighting the PHPower with rsyslog
Help! The new PHP8 has made normal, everyday scripting practices an
error on screen or in the logfiles.
Fight the power and reclaim your PHP sanity using
rsyslog
and its filtering options.
But beware, rsyslog itself is a minefield of inexplicableness.
Trevor Cordes led us on a quick and easy path to victory over PHP,
and any other daemon you may disagree with!
Trevor has made his presentation slides, as text files in a
.tar.bz2 archive,
available online.
