Topic: Random and sundry things
Physical location: Veterans Village Common Room

‘Twas an enjoyable evening in a different physical location.
Dave was kind enough to lend his internet bandwidth so that we could stream the meeting. Thanks Dave!

We went around the virtual table and each person talked a bit about what they were doing with Linux:
* Dave talked about proxmox and hypervisor stuff
* Norman had a question about pbx
* Sam talked about his ideas for his home lab
* Sam had a question about security for backup codes
-> the general consensus is: As much as possible, KEEP YOUR SECURITY CODES OFFLINE, i.e. not connected to internet AT ALL.

There was some general discussion around gaming on linux, as well as some talk about linux on android – grapheneOS.org
