October MLUG Meeting - Next Tuesday 10/14

[Heather Morris]

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the short notice, but better late than never! :/  The next regularly scheduled MLUG meeting is next Tuesday, 10/14 7:PM-8:PM at the Missoula Public Library Makerspace room (just off the library downstairs entrance). 

At the August meeting, some folks expressed in interest in iptables, so I'm proposing that be our main topic for next week's meeting.  

Also, I recently blitzed my Facebook account so don't have access to post to the MLUG FB page anymore -- I think someone else on this list has access to the page and if so, will you please post an event?  

Looking forward to seeing you next week!

Sweet, if we need to make it go longer there are programs like netstat and sockstat to find what is listening where. (I use the following options a lot... not all at once but they are great options -alpntu.)

Ideas for the next few if people are interested: lsof, top (and htop), gpg, tmux, strace, dhcp, tftp, cool ssh tricks, and NFS.

Folks,

Assuming we do pick up iptables as our topic this evening, and assuming I am going to lead a discussion about this (as Heather proposed in earlier e-mail), I'd like to hook you all up with the two resources I will reference in that discussion. Feel free to bring copies in whatever form you prefer to work with. I will be bringing a venberable old Dell laptop running a basic server version of CentOS 6.5, in case that's useful to our exploration.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iptables

Feel free to read as much or as little as you like of those beforehand. :)

See you all this evening!

kind regards,

Mike Carlson

Great meeting tonight, peeps!  It was good to see you all and geek out. :)

Thanks to Mike much for leading up the iptables topic and Patrick for saving the day with your trusty laptop. I for one, learned a thing or two about iptables that I didn't know before, and it sounds like others did too. 

I'll be sure to send a follow-up reminder in a few weeks, but wanted to note that our next meeting will be Tuesday, November 11th at 7PM at the Missoula Public Library Makerspace. 

A topic for that meeting which was suggested tonight is tmux (which I have no knowledge of, so am looking forward to learning more.) 

No reason the list needs to remain quiet until next month, however...

I can do a talk on this if no one else wants to.

[Benjamin Campbell]

The coolest use case of tmux/screen I've seen is for remote pair
programming. In essence both participants ssh to a machine and bind to
the same screen/tmux socket effectively linking both of their for
simultaneous use.

This is beneficial to let two programmers tackle an idea/issue.

Thanks

Hi All,

Patrick - thanks for offering to lead a talk about tmux!  

I found out that the library is closed the date of our next meeting.  November is a crazy busy month for me and I'm really interested to learn about tmux.  Would you all be willing to forego our November meeting and talk about tmux at the following meeting scheduled for Tuesday, December 9th at 7PM?  If ya'll want to do a meeting in November, that's cool but you'll need to coordinate a date with Jim at the library Makerspace.

[Benjamin Campbell]

Is the group silence a gesture of consensus? 

I am in the middle of exams so extra hour or two of study time would be nice this Tuesday. I am willing to concede for December.

[Heather Morris]

Hehe.. I concur that silence means a postponement until December.  I'll follow-up later this month and send out a reminder!

[Seth McClain]

I concur as well :P
