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. (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.

Reminder: MUUG Online Meeting, Tonight, June 8, 7:30pm -- Intro to PeerTube

08 Jun '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, June 8th, at 7:30pm: Introduction to PeerTube: A Free and Decentralized Video Hosting Platform The internet continues to trend towards large, corporate owned websites and platforms. No one can deny that large platforms are amazing and convenient! But due to their sheer scale, social networks have difficulty with moderation and preventing abuse. Rules that work well for one set of users might be unacceptable to others, and automated moderation tools perform poorly outside of the culture and language they were developed in. These concerns have encouraged a wave of federated, decentralized social networks, loosely labeled the "fediverse." Similar to how email servers work today, any admin can run an instance of a social network, which then associates with other servers to share content and hosting costs. PeerTube is the most popular federated video hosting platform in this space, with an active community and many instances. Join us this month, as Chris Audet explores a possible future direction for video driven social networks. Chris will discuss why you might want to host a PeerTube instance, the cool underlying tech, and the role of alternative social networks in a world dominated by giants. Join the meeting: https://jitsi.merlin.mb.ca/muug.2021.06 The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June.
