The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, September 5th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's a week early, i.e. the FIRST Tuesday of the month... NetBox Alberto Abrao will present NetBox. According to their website, "NetBox is the leading solution for modeling and documenting modern networks. By combining the traditional disciplines of IP address management (IPAM) and datacenter infrastructure management (DCIM) with powerful APIs and extensions, NetBox provides the ideal 'source of truth' to power network automation. ... Discover why thousands of organizations worldwide put NetBox at the heart of their infrastructure." Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2 We have a new in-person meeting location now! Brad Vokey has graciously let us use his work office for our next in-person meeting. The meeting room will be open by 7:00 pm, with the actual meeting starting at 7:30 pm. If driving, enter the lot using the most north east entrance and drive around to the south west corner of the building (see route in map detail on poster linked below). You can use any of the free, ample, and safe parking spots that say "reserved" in front of units #1 through #4 before entering unit #2. Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150 meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27 are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south. For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. 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.

For the font nerds in the crowd: Kern Type (method.ac)<https://type.method.ac/> (I scored 80/100. I’m told no-one ever quite agrees with the actual font kerning…) -Adam

Curious traceroute (actually, mtr)
by Brian Lowe 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

When I do an mtr from my home to Wikipedia, the host ae20.3518.ear1.Chicago3.level3.net shows a significant packet loss: My traceroute [v0.92] What I suspect is happening is only ICMP packets are being lost, not every packet going through that host, since Wikipedia doesn't seem to have degraded performance. Anyone care to offer other explanations or speculation? Brian

SteamVR on linux??
by Trevor Cordes 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

Has anyone any knowledge of running SteamVR games on Linux? I've read some stuff on Steam itself that says you can't run VR games on Steamdeck or Linux. But I've found some other sites saying you can, though maybe in a beta mode. So who's right? Half Life "3" (Alyx) is out (and on sale right now!) but I really only have a Linux game-capable rig now. Also does SteamVR mean you *must* have VR gear to play? Or can you play it on a normal monitor setup?
