RSVP to the Startup Edmonton ELUG event: https://www.meetup.com/startupedmonton/events/dgdgvrybcpbjc/

The Edmonton Linux User Group (ELUG) is a chance to get together with other users of Linux, GNU, and Unix-like operating systems, and open source software. Our members range from newcomers to power users to seasoned administrators and developers; so, all are welcome!

We meet as an opportunity to exchange ideas, knowledge, and experiences for several reasons:

– to educate for personal and professional growth
– to promote and advocate for the free and open source movement
– to support and assist with Linux related challenges
– and to socialize with peers who have a common interest

Examples of topics that may be discussed or presented include (but not limited to):

– Exposure to different distributions
– Workshops on various tools and commands
– Kernel and system-level development and tuning
– just about anything else Linux-related

We welcome anyone with an interest in Linux and/or open source software and look forward to building the Linux community in Edmonton.

Standard Agenda:

6:00pm – Arrival, mingling
6:30pm – Welcome & introductions, presentation begins
7:30pm – Announcements, open discussions
8:00pm – Event conclusion (officially, but we usually hang around for as long as we feel like it after)

If you would like to help with the operations of this group, or even just make suggestions, please contact Robert Salomons or Manuel Eller or David Laycock.

Topic: general conversation

During December’s meetup no presentation was prepared. Instead the group discussed anything and everything on their “Linux-minds” at the time. The big hack of SolarWinds was a topic of course. The security breach impacted a lot of companies worldwide and some participants of the meeting had to do overtime because of the hack. The most interesting aspect was the longevity of the intrusion. The hackers had access to SolarWind’s systems since March of 2020 and were only caught late in the year.

There were some general questions asked by the participants and together as a group we tried to answer them as good as possible or to the best of knowledge available.

The meeting was finalized around 8:30pm.

The next meeting will happen on January 28, 2021 and be posted on ELUG.ca and on groups.io.

Rick ran through a Pi-hole demo for the group, showing us to implement a simple network level block for advertisements and trackers. Now you can explore the internet without the nuisance and distractions. If you’d like to follow along you can run through the notes that Rick provided as well some videos that he thinks you should check out!

Then  'Create partition table' under the Device tab.  #  This messed me up a few times too .
