[PLUG] Gratitude
Hi folks, I'm pretty sure most of us have heard the news of the maintainer of Curl receiving hate mail[1], by now. But, this incident shows the in general ingratitude that certain users show towards the free/open-source software that they use. Albeit, this kind of users are a very small minority, it shows that there is scope for improvement, in how we communicate the way open source works. Most live/prod systems that are running on linux, are an amalgamation of a multiple open-source projects and we cannot blame one for the failure of another, nor can we blame the incorrect use of a particular software because most things have very sensible default configs. When preparing such complicated prod environments, it makes sense to have an *open-source security check-list*. [1]: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/02/19/i-will-slaughter-you/ -- Tejas Sanap.

[PLUG] Spaces (@TwitterSpaces)
Hi all, For a long time, I have had an idea, perhaps, more of a thought. What would a company be like if it were to open up its design process to the general public? What if literally anyone could pitch in ideas at any stage? We already have gitlab as one of the examples, a company trying to do something similar. While the world of open-source defines code sharing and documentation as the basis of actual sharing of ideas, but user feedback is also a form of contribution. Please check out the tweets by the new Twitter Spaces feature team, where they are openly sharing early UI designs. Working at a company which takes openness from an engineering practices perspective to such a level, is every open source enthusiasts dream job. If only more and more companies could do the same.

[PLUG] IRC during an apocalypse
Hey, folks! (Warning: This is part-rant and part-opinion) Browsing through the IRC subreddit[1] I ran into an interesting list[2] of all the reasons why one should still use IRC. One of the reasons was that IRC is a protocol and all other mediums of communication are softwares or platforms. The IRC protocol is *always* going to be around. Slack or Discord or Skype may be gone some day, the IRC protocol will still be around, even if no one is using it. Another important part, is the extensively decentralised nature of IRC networks. The probability of an entire network falling apart is a really small one almost negligible. However, my favourite reason that the OP of that post mentioned is how easy it is to connect to an IRC network. One can do it using very poor or very old hardware or very weak network speed, and it will still function decently. This, I think, is very important in during an apocalypse. I think, we can count on IRC and Radio to have our backs in such a crisis.

[PLUG] The current and future state of PLUG
Hey, folks! The following email may turn out to be a bit controversial. The current state of PLUG is not very bright. That is a fact. However, numerous members are taking efforts to revive PLUG from it's deep slumber, and are trying to bring it back to the center stage of the FOSS community in Pune. Plans must be made and adhered to. There must be a slightly strategic approach to how we conduct events. Talks must be planned such that not only do they benefit the FOSS community but which also, highlight PLUG and its activities. I believe, that it is important to know and understand the different opinions that people (within PLUG) have about our current and future state, as we plan on how and when PLUG will conduct meetups/events, next year. While it is not necessary that we all share the same sense of purpose, but being aware of motivations and expectations others have is always beneficial. Thus, I have prepared a questionnaire. ## The questionnaire 1. What do you think about the open source movement? 2. What do you think about the free software movement? 3. What do you think are the core principles of PLUG? 4. What do you think is the difference between the open source software movement and the free software movement? 5. What role does PLUG play in the context of the questions 1 - 4? 6. What role should PLUG play in the context of questions 1 - 4? 7. How do you think we can contribute *improvements* to the community? By *improvements* I mean, documentation, blogs, commenting on issues and code. -- Tejas Sanap.

[PLUG] The sale of .org domain
Hey, folks! If you have any connection to the world of NGO's, you must by, now, be aware of the great scam that has occured regarding the `.org` registry. The tl;dr version of the story is that three not-for-profit organisations sold the `.org` registry to a private equity firm. Disclaimer: I don't know if the registry laws in the US are different from India or any other part of the world. I don't know if, this sale has any effect whatsoever on .org websites which are registered out of the US. That being said, recently we have seen a trend of Western atrocities finding their to the Indian subcontinent. There is a bit of back story to this incident. A few months ago, the ICANN removed all caps on the registration prices of the `.org` domain. This decision was widely unpopular and frowned upon. The `.org` registry is managed by PIR, which has as it's ICANN parent body. Both, PIR and ICANN are not-for-profit organisations. A few days ago, PIR, announced that it had sold `.org` registry and as a result of this sale was going to convert to for-profit organisation. I will reiterate the fact that, today the `.org` is synonymous to NGOs, educational institutes, FOSS projects, and other institutes of non-commercial nature. There are two concerns here: 1. Should the `.org` registry be managed by a for-profit firm? 2. Who will make sure that the private firm will not strong-arm the `.org` clients, by hiking prices or some other means? This incident, is just one of the many, where we see a private body, which is completely opaque, seize control of what should, rightfully, be public-property. Proprietary software, which is one of the many ways, in which capitalism has manifested itself in our society, threatens our most fundatemental right, the Right to Freedom.[5] The internet, is a safe public place, for people and organisation to display their opinions.

[PLUG] I wish, I knew this when I started with Vim
Hey, folks! As the world rides the "VS Code" wave and it's extensive list of extensions that are easy to set up and even easier to configure, some of us, stick to the Old Way of Vim. However, as effective as vi/vim may be, it presents a considerable learning curve, especially, to the novice command line user, it just seems too much to handle all at once and thus, they either move to "nano" or abandon command line text editors, altogether. But, the vim community, offers great documentation and there are tons of blogs written by vim-users, all over the internet. Captain Pike, from the USS Enterprise, once said, "the best way to swim in a cold stream, is to jump right in", and it is also true in the case of vim. Using vim for all your editing tasks, is the fastest way to learn and the easiest way to appreciate vim. The best source of vim-related things is the "r/vim"[3] sub-reddit. The best place to clarify your vim doubts, is the #vim IRC channel. The best collection of vim-hacks for the most common issues realated to vim is, the vim-wikia[4]. The most accurate, detailed and dependable source of information for any vim feature is the "in-built" documentation[5]. The links [1] and [2] are good beginner resources.

To be honest, even though, I would really love to have editable pdfs, I am very skeptical of, how anyone can manage to get the typesetting right for an "edited" pdf. Especially, in the case of tables and diagrams, the task seems to be almost impossible. But, at the same time, having an editable pdf, will it make it a lot easier to copy-paste text and diagrams, from a pdf. That, in itself, is a great reason. -- Tejas Sanap.

[PLUG] PLUG mini-meetup || DistroWars
Hey, folks! A lot of interesting things have been happening in the world of open-source, lately, as always. We constantly keep running into more and more open-source projects that were once pet-projects, but are now rivalling enterprise-grade products. This is most true in the case of, Desktop Distributions. 2017 may not have turned to be the year of the Linux Desktop, as was once prophesied, but it seems to be very close, now. Thus, a few of us, enthusiasts and stout followers of certain Linux distributions are gathering to talk (and, argue) which one is the best. But, the question of the best Linux distribution has numerous sides, and we invite you to join the discussion (and, war). Some people from the PLUG community are meeting tomorrow at Sambhaji Park (near, Balgandharva) at 10AM. If you are a Linux beginner or enthusiast or expert, I urge you to join us (I, personally, want to get to know more about BSD-based distros). The whole thing will be informal and laid back.

[PLUG] Meeting logs for discussions held on 12th Sept, 2019 on #pluggies
Hey, folks! I have uploaded the logs of the discussion we had on #pluggies on 12th September. This is the discussion that I summarized in this email [1] on the mailing list. The logs can be found at this repository [2] that I maintain, so that those of us who couldn't attend the meetings can at least read through the logs and catch up in a more detailed manner, than the summary emails can provide.

[PLUG] 21st September Meet-up Details
Good morning, folks! This will be a quick and short summary of the discussion that happened last night on #pluggies. I want to thank all of those present, for taking out time from their busy schedules to participate in the meetup discussion. The meetup duration was set to approx. 3 ~ 3½ hours. There will be three talks: 1. A talk on how awesome (neo)vim is by me. 2. An introduction to blender by Gaurav Pant. 3. A talk on Free Software. As always, I will request more PLUG members to participate in the discussion through the mailing list or through the IRC channel. The more, the merrier. -- Tejas Sanap (whereistejas on Freenode) https://whereistejas.me ___ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
[PLUG] 21st September Meet-up - Planning and Ideas
Greetings, folks!
First of all, I'm really happy about the response I have
receieved from various people on the * Why folks using IRC are
against "cool" and "new" features? * thread. After reading all of
your thoughts, I realised that there are numerous perspectives to that
problem, that I was blind to before and failed to take into account.
The choice of a "communication tool" is highly subjective and greatly,
depends on the culture and practices of each unique project.
Now, coming to the 21st September meet-up. Purnesh (werper|m)
and Dhanesh (dhanesh|m) spent a while, last night discussing the
upcoming meetup. Following is the summary of that discussion:
Basic assumptions on the basis of previous discussions[1]:
1. The meetup will be a full-day workshop (approx. 5 hours).
2. The meetup location will have good internet access.
3. Each participant will be carrying his/her own laptop and have a
working linux distribution installed.
While discussing what sort of workshops/talks should be conducted, we
followed the basic guideline of "beginner-friendly" topics.
We thought we should begin the event by a from an open-source
contributor or package maintainer on "How to contribute to Open-Source".
We are open to all kinds of suggestions and
speakers on this talk. If you think, you want to give this kind-of
talk or know someone who can, please get in touch with us. We are
hoping to make this the "keynote" of our meet-up.
We also came up with a few ideas for various workshops:
1. A git workshop - End to end work cycle
2. Static Website Generator workshop - Build your own website/blog and
host on git{hub,lab}
3. A Vim workshop
4. A regular expressions workshop
5. A contribution sprint - some form of documentation
To end the event, we thought we could showcase some cool FOSS that
are little known or FOSS that can be used as alternatives to our
daily proprietary software. In this particular section, we can do
all kinds of things like show apps from F-Droid[2] (the open-source
playstore for Android) or invite the participants to show which FOSS
apps they use on a daily basis, which deserve more attention.
The complete logs of the discussion we had can be found at [3].

Email continues to be a resilient The main takeaway from the whole IRC/ZNC vs. Slack coversation, or rather any software solution on Linux vs. On Mac/Windows, is that in the latter case things "just work". Whereas, in the former case, you require a bit of tweaking and hacking. This is the point where things go sour for many users. As enthusiasts, we love a new challenge and throw ourselves at it. But, a normal user only wants to do his work. To be honest, I have given this topic a lot of thought, and the only way to convince people to go with FOSS/Linux solutions, is to show them in person how to do things. As an example, I would suggest setting up "polybar". It's a custom status bar that many people use alongside their minimalistic window managers (like i3 or dwm). If, one wished to approach this task on their own, it is highly likely that they would give up. But, if someone has access to an in-depth and at the same time, easy tutorial such as [1] and [2]... It will be a different story. > Slack and others don't lend themselves well to highly threaded or, long > form conversations. List software such as Mailman are also adding > enhancements which cater to some of the requirements around ease of > conversations. There are a lot of interesting features in ZNC. For example, it will automatically (and, temporarily) detach from an "inactive" channel. Or, it allows for maintaining seperate buffers, channel-list for different devices. But, such features, are rarely advertised. I maybe wrong here, but, as a "Linux Users Group" we should be helping such projects "bridge the gap" between normal users and themselves. Like, I know so many college "CS/IT" courses where students use vi/vim as their editors, but the students never leave the "INSERT" mode. I mean, that's just sad.

[PLUG] Why folks using IRC are against "cool" and "new" features?
Hey, folks! I use plain IRC and for some reason that I can't explain, love it's simplicity. I ran into a blog post today, that presented some interesting perspectives on IRC and similar protocols (Matrix). https://drewdevault.com/2019/07/01/Absence-of-features-in-IRC.html I guess, IRC is an example of the "less is better, more is worse" case. I would love to hear some of your point-of-views. -- Tejas Sanap.

Good Evening! First of all let me apologize for the last-minute notification for this meeting. If, you have been following the mailing list, then you must be aware of the fact that we are planning for a meetup on the 21st September. A bunch of us will be gathering tonight on the #pluggies channel on Freenode. Those of us, who are unable to join us, but wish to, please suggest a time and date, and we will work things out. Or, you can tell us your ideas on the mailing list. We are very excited about the next meetup, and thus, welcome all forms of suggestions and ideas. -- Tejas Sanap.

As members of PLUG, and using tools to do "PLUG" work, we are *obligated* to use tools that are FOSS. I think, due to the great influx of new users to linux in the past 2~3 years, has given a boost to the use of proprietary software on the linux platform. We can see this clearly with how many distributions now provide proprietary softwares in their official repositories. I won't deny the fact that many FOSS projects lack the finishing touches that proprietary softwares have. > There will be decline in adopting odd solutions like Riot/ZNC until > they are fully mature enough. ZNC is mature and stable. It has been in development for the last 15 years (since 2004). Please check out: https://wiki.znc.in/Providers to see how companies and IRC networks are deploying ZNC on large scales. We fail to percieve those solutions as "mature" because they are not marketed to us in that manner. In terms of support, ZNC has great community support. I can vouch for that. > We wont be seeing any new users at Riot/ZNC sadly. I couldn't agree more but that's why we must increase our efforts to bring people to IRC instead of opting for other platforms. > I did a quick survey recently and figured out 99% IT newbies are not > aware about IRC nor they use it :-) This again brings us back to the good tutorials issue. I think this is a point where the folks at `hashtag dgplug` should be commended. Their insistance on the whole "learn from blogs and blog to teach" model is the right way to solve this problem. If, you find that using a software is tricky, share whatever you have found through a blog. Even, if you don't actually manage to get the software working. What is more amazing is that they have proven it works. I know CS and IT graduates who don't how to open terminals in linux and think that "ubuntu" is "linux" (and, yes, they score very-well in their exams). > Same for IT techies working at fancy MNC's at Hinjewadi/EON IT Park. > They use meetup.com aggressively. Yes, that's just sad. But, no good alternatives exist for meetup.com. A similar issue can be found with youtube. # Conclusion In the end, a "normal Joe" will look for convinience and will want tools that "just work". But, how can we make softwares that are seemingly difficult easy? I would give you the example of NeoMutt. Lord knows, configuring neomutt for the first time is a nasty experience. The linux youtuber Luke Smith, solved this problem by creating a installation wizard for neomutt. You can find it here: https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/mutt-wizard (Yes, I am a Luke Smith fanboi).

[PLUG] Want to host your IRC nicks on ZNC?
Hey folks! This email will be short and quick. Yesterday, me and mr_cool (on #pluggies, Freenode) managed to set up a ZNC instance. We are running ZNC version 1.6.6 on an Ubuntu 18 AWS instance. I managed to set up a sample user for you to test and play with. The webadmin page can be found at: https://18.188.122.29:1234/ You can log in using the following credentials: Username: joey Password: howyoudoin *Please, don't delete any certificates or disable any modules that have already been checked. Other than that, feel free to mess around. * To use it in your IRC client, the following settings should be used: Nick: pluggies-znc Server: 18.188.122.29 Port: 1234 TLS: On Password: joey/freenode:howyoudoin The nick `pluggies-znc` is using *SASL to connect to the freenode* server. By default you will join a channel called #pluggies-unregistered. You will find me there. You can ping me and say hi. I would like to mention and thank MetaNova from the #znc channel, who helped me set up SASL on ZNC. As of now, we will be running this ZNC instance on a trial basis. If you want to be a part of this project, email me at sanap.te...@gmail.com or message on IRC. We will be hosting nicks for no costs at all, during this trial. -- Tejas Sanap.

Seeing how users are running into some sort of trouble, every now and then, with Matrix, some of us on #pluggies are thinking of setting up a public ZNC instance. Obviously, the costs will be split even amongst all users. But, if enough of us, get together, the cost per person would be trivial. Also, ZNC will give you almost-God-like control over your IRC accounts. If, anyone is interested, please reply to this thread or drop us a message on #pluggies. For those who don't know, ZNC *functionality can be extended* by writting our own modules. APIs in C++, python, perl and Tcl are available. I suggest you to take a look at: https://wiki.znc.in/Category:Modules ZNC offers a `webadmin` module. It is a simple, easy-to-use, web UI that allows admins and users to manage users and change their ZNC settings. More importantly, it can be set up such that, an user can access it from anywhere, like a normal website. ZNC does a lot more than simply providing IRC persistence. It supports multiple users, networks and clients. It has SSL support. Also, ZNC has great community support at the #znc channel on Freenode. -- Tejas Sanap.

Re: [PLUG] Post-Meetup Introspection on 25th July, 8 PM IST at #pluggies
Dear all, I think, the best way to bring people onto IRC is do a small session on the next meetup, where everyone can create IRC nicks together and join the #pluggies channel. Freenode has tons of nice channels, we can discuss some popular ones, too. > 1. What went as planned? I think, over-all the meetup went smoothly, considering that this was the first time some of us were organizing a meetup. The CTF activity was very fun. The cake was delicious. > 2. What didn't go as planned? There are two things that stood out: 1. Internet accessibility - Those of us on the #pluggies channel were already aware of this as dhanesh95 had mentioned it in one of the team meetings. However, if internet is required, we should mention this in the meetup description, so that the participants can be prepared. 2. Some of the participants didn't have laptops or couldn't find charging spots > 3. What could we have done better? I want to apologize for being late. It won't happen again. If we are going to cut cakes or have some sort of food, we should arrange for paper plates. I think, the most effective stratergy for food is to not have it or use food tokens that can be used in a canteen as Dexter mentioned in a conversation after the meetup. > 4.

[PLUG] Post-Meetup Introspection on 25th July, 8 PM IST at #pluggies
Dear all, I want to thank and congratulate all the participants and organizers for a wonderful meetup (20th July, 2019). The CTF activity by Gaurav (gauravsitlani) and Yadnya (ytale) was a great oppurtunity to use the commands that I had discussed in my talk. The cake-cutting provided an oppurtunity for the participants to talk to each other. It was the suggestion of Dhanesh (dhanesh95) that we should hold a meeting to introspect how the meetup went. All participants and members are welcome to join this discussion, to share their experiences and ideas. In particular, we want to discuss what things went right, what went wrong and such. The discussion is supposed to happen on #pluggies IRC channel on *Saturday, 27nd July at 8 PM IST*. If this timing/date is unsuitable for you, please reply to this email so that we can set an appropriate timing. If you need help on how to join IRC, please reply to this email and I will share the appropriate links. Tejas Sanap.

Re: [PLUG] Idea for a PLUG meetup with Debian Buster Release party
This will also allow us to tell people from Debian Pune about PLUG, which may in turn, help us attract new members. Since, PLUG is a *distro-secular* community, we can learn a lot of stuff by interacting with the Debian community. This meetup can build the foundation for future collabs, which can never hurt. ___ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
[PLUG] Does PLUG have an IRC channel?
Greetings, I was wondering if the Pune Linux Users Group have an IRC channel? If not, I would like to take the initiative of setting one up... I don't know a lot about setting it up. But, I am willing to learn stuff and set it up. Tejas Sanap. ___ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
