For our 2023-03-21 (3rd Tuesdays) BALUG meeting, we have:
We don't have a specific speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting,
however ...
We're sure to have some expert(s), and no shortage of interesting things
we might talk about. Feel free to to bring topics, questions, etc.
6:00pm Tuesday, March 21st, 2023 2023-03-21
In-person:
Henry's Hunan Restaurant
110 Natoma St. (between 2nd & New Montgomery)
San Francisco, CA 94105-3704
1-415-546-4999
https://www.hhunan.com/https://www.hhunannatoma.com/
Delicious Hunan cuisine and reasonably priced.
Easy Transit/Parking Access: short walk from BART, MUNI, parking
Trip planning: http://www.511.org/
Virtual:
https://meet.jit.si/BALUG.org Dial-in numbers also available at the
URL.
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 $15.00 to $31.00 range, and
commonly around $18.00 to $27.00. 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.

REMINDER: BALUG: meeting TOMORROW: Tu 2022-10-18:
For our 2022-10-18 (3rd Tuesdays) BALUG meeting, we have:
discussion topic: Spooky, Scary, from Hell Linux/IT stories
We don't have a formal presentation lined up for this meeting, but we
do have a suggested discussion topic:
Spooky, Scary, from Hell Linux/IT stories
Yes, it was again suggested for the month this year, and thinking of
what lies at the month's end. Many of us have such stories, and would
like to hear others.
So ... this month, come, learn by counter-example (experience is cruel
and rather unforgiving teacher, but highly effective), be entertained,
share your topical knowledge and experiences. Thrilling time likely to
be had by all. And that doesn't prevent us from also answering random
or specific Linux and other questions, sharing such information, etc.

REMINDER TODAY!: For our 2022-07-19 (3rd Tuesdays) BALUG meeting, we have:
Discussion: Installing/using Linux blind, etc.
We don't have a formal presentation lined up, but we have at least one
discussion topic (and probably bit of mini-demo too), and can discuss
more general Linux related items also.
6:00pm Tuesday, July 19th, 2022 2022-07-19
In-person:
Henry's Hunan Restaurant
110 Natoma St. (between 2nd & New Montgomery)
San Francisco, CA 94105-3704
1-415-546-4999
https://www.hhunan.com/https://www.hhunannatoma.com/
Delicious Hunan cuisine and reasonably priced.
Easy Transit/Parking Access: short walk from BART, MUNI, parking
Trip planning: http://www.511.org/
Virtual:
https://meet.jit.si/BALUG.org Dial-in numbers also available at the
URL.
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 $15.00 to $31.00 range, and
commonly around $18.00 to $27.00. 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.
------------------------------
giveaways (& wanted), hardware, CDs/DVDs, books/publications, ...
We often have various giveaway items at BALUG meetings.
CDs/DVDs/ISOs, etc. - have a look here:

in anything in particular, best to request such reasonably in advance

Hardware, etc. wanted/offered!

From our , if you missed or may want to review materials, that was:
2022-05-17 Dynamic DNS (DDNS), presented by Michael Paoli
o What is it?
o Why Dynamic (update)? / Use cases
o How? On the client side
o How? On the server side
o Pros/cons - why would/wouldn't one want to?
o Examples/demos (e.g. with BIND9)
Materials ("slides"), etc. may be reviewed here:

(I did also get the presentation portion of the meeting recorded,
hope to get that up there too at some point - but it need wee bit
of editing first)
