now available to correct this issue."

@murph just saw Sherlock Holmes talk about a multiplex knife ( because it has a corkscrew ), so I think I found the topic of your next talk :)

@murph yeah, you're on your late cycle, so in 45 min

#PLUG has two presentations tomorrow/Thursday night

tmux and OpenWRT

19:00 AZ time ( UTC -7 ) in #BigBlueButton

-----
Most "router" devices have firmware updates for 2-3 years

The user then has two choices: continue using the device without any security updates; buy a new device

Also, the feature set in consumer devices is often limited

Cover how #OpenWRT can help resurrect older WiFi APs and Gateway devices and more

#tmux is a terminal multiplexer, a tool that makes working on the command line better and easier.

It can allow you to work across connections, and to get multiple views/shells on the computers that you are using.

@murph will show how it works, how to install it on popular systems, and how to use it.

@murph would you send me an abstract?

@murph I've been subsisting for a bit, getting back into things now

Can you give your tmux presentation on January the 9th?

19:00 AZ time, which I think will be 21:00 for you

@murph Bubba Fest in your neck of the woods (PA) on Jan 4th featuring YYNot with guests including Jon Dinklage ( CA strings sections )

"In Celebration of Neil Peart"

https://www.cathyrankin.com/ was at the show as one of the MCs last night and jumped in to sing a couple times

She mentioned Bubba Fest and said she'd be there

Perhaps not a motorcycle ride in January :)

Tonight's #PLUG topic is 'Online Privacy, Security and Password Management' starting in about 90 minutes in #BigBlueButton

Online, join from wherever you are :)

@PLUG

@SeaGL has built a nice virrtual conference interface around #Matrix

Each presentation gets its own room and the chat starts with a #CoC reminder

There's video embed at the top, jitsi for conversations, youtube for presentations

The main conference channel updates the current and upcoming talk lists and talks that are done go into completed sessions

@davidrevoy "The buttons are also now perfectly customisable via xsetwacom CLI tool."

New *and* improved! Woohoo!

#cfp for Thursday at 19:00 AZ ( 00:00 UTC ) as our primary speaker is sick and needs to push her presentation back to another month

@PLUG has a meeting with presentations on the 2nd Thursday every month. We are still remote using #BigBlueButton

Our normal topics are Linux and #FLOSS in general

being remote we've had presenters from multiple states and as far away as New Zealand and Australia

@feditips I don't mind some repeated tips, they don't seem to happen all that often

I see the tips as a circular buffer, just keep posting the next tip when it's time occasionally removing and adding tips to keep the list current

Adding them to a site is also good

Had to redraft as I forgot to actually say thank you for the tips

Thank you! :)
