Hi- I came late, but this is what I remember.
When I arrived Tim was showing https://extensions.gnome.org/ which I'd not seen before. Archlinux users will need to use Firefox since the latest version of Chrome doesn't work with it. The Arch Wiki appears to suggest installing extensions via a package anyway. CPKS was singing the praises of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL_68 as well as questioning Golang's decisions to do away with assignments as expressions and pre-/post-increment operators. There's a FAQ on this https://golang.org/doc/faq#inc_dec which is consistent with Go's opinionated design. In a discussion about weird languages I mentioned TECO (Text/Tape Editor and COrrector), an editor with a built-in language which looks like line noise. For example:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TECO_%28text_editor%29#Example_3 It's notable because a set of "Editor MACroS" written in TECO evolved into Emacs. I also mentioned the dwm window manager, http://dwm.suckless.org/ which is written in C and is customized by editing the config.h file and recompiling. Add-ons are supplied as source patches ( http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/ ) Tim and I were talking about our HP Microservers, ( e.g. http://www.ebuyer.com/517760-hp-proliant-gen8-g1610t-microserver-712317-421 ). We're both using WD Red drives. Mine runs FreeNAS ( http://www.freenas.org/ ) and his runs Fedora Server ( https://getfedora.org/en/server/ ). FreeNAS uses BSD Jails to run plugins in isolated containers. Tim is using Docker to do the same. We both currently use Plex ( https://plex.tv/ ) but I was mentioning an alternative that I want to try, formerly known as MediaBrowser and now named Emby ( http://emby.media/ ). There was also a passing discussion about Android Open Source and the ability to run Android apps on other platforms. I'll just throw in these:- http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ https://f-droid.org/ -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2015-05-05 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
