------------------------------
For our 2025-09-16 (3rd Tuesdays) BALUG meeting,
6:00pm Tuesday, September 16th, 2025 2025-09-16 DNS and BIND
At least at the time of this update we don't have a specific
speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, however, do have at
least one general discussion topic in mind:
DNS and BIND
So, our old friends (frenemies?), DNS and BIND. Will have at least
one person present who's quite experienced with both, having much
dealt with both for decades, and also including large scale
critical environments (e.g. multi-million dollar+ companies
entirely dependent upon such (high engagement web based business),
financial institution with trillions of dollars in assets where DNS
is highly critical), and has also recently been doing quite a bit
of backwards and forwards compatibility testing and retesting of
BIND 9, and with DDNS, DNSSEC, chroot, etc. and updating
documentation thereof (see: https://wiki.debian.org/BIND9).
So, have questions, comments, etc. regarding DNS and/or BIND? Or
simultaneously running 9 VMs on a 10+ year old laptop for various
regression and backward and forward compatibility testing? Or
what's up with Debian's "old" wiki? Or most any other question or
discussion topic you want to bring up? Well, bring it to the
meeting!
Virtual:
https://meet.jit.si/BALUG.org Dial-in numbers may also be available

Please use earbud(s)/headphone(s) or mute yourself to avoid audio
feedback issues, also please if you have background sound/noise
issues mute yourself when not talking.
Generally works quite fine with reasonably modern Firefox
Chrome/Chromium, Microsoft Edge, possibly others (requires WebRTC
https://webrtc.org/
(Wikipedia: WebRTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC)
(can also do some testing here: https://test.webrtc.org/ Probably
don't worry about minor items like "Reflexive connectivity" )), from
desktop, laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc.

Meeting Details...
Cost/Dining:
The meetings are always free, but dinner is not (unless you are our
guest speaker, in which case we also treat you to dinner). For
Henry's Hunan Restaurant, if folks are agreeable, we'll share and
dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per
person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond
complementary tea) would be in the $17.00 to $35.00 range, and
commonly around $19.00 to $30.00. Cash preferred to ease splitting
up the check. One can also specifically order the dish(es) one
needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and we also
commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary
considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...). Punctual arrival
recommended for optimal dining experience, as we expect to be
ordering at that time.
At approximately 7:00 P.M. we start our presentation/talk, or more
informal talk/discussion if we don't have a particularly
presentation/talk/presenter or special guest arranged.

At least at the time of this updated we don't have a specific
speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, however it's been a
while since we specifically discussed Debian as a topic. So, with
Debian's newest stable release
(Debian 13 "trixie" released 2025-08-09)[2] we'll at least be
discussing Debian, and including at least some folks that have been
administering and upgrading Debian systems for well over a quarter
century! We may also talk about what's happening with x86 32-bit
support and potential options (e.g. cross-grading), etc.
1. https://www.debian.org/
2. https://www.debian.org/News/2025/20250809
Of course that doesn't stop us from having other interesting

Chris Peeples has passed away. Many knew Chris from BALUG, various LUGs
(e.g. BerkeleyLUG.com), his Linux and OpenSource work and advocacy,
AC Transit and his tireless work in and around public transportation,
his ham radio operations and interests, etc. He was an amazing source
of information and tireless in his many endeavors. He will be missed.

Meeting Details...
Cost/Dining:
The meetings are always free, but dinner is not (unless you are our
guest speaker, in which case we also treat you to dinner). For
Henry's Hunan Restaurant, if folks are agreeable, we'll share and
dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per
person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond
complementary tea) would be in the $17.00 to $35.00 range, and
commonly around $19.00 to $30.00. Cash preferred to ease splitting
up the check. One can also specifically order the dish(es) one
needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and we also
commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary
considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...). Punctual arrival
recommended for optimal dining experience, as we expect to be
ordering at that time.
At approximately 7:00 P.M. we start our presentation/talk, or more
informal talk/discussion if we don't have a particularly
presentation/talk/presenter or special guest arranged.
