Summary:
Dick and Jill will reprise their journey through the world of photo
editing with Fotocx
Abstract:
Note: "Fotoxx has been renamed to Fotocx. This was done because a web
search for "fotoxx" returns pornographic web pages ("foto xx") after a
few legitimate results. This has been a plague since years, and I
decided to end it. I regret the inconvenience this causes for some users".

Dick Miller returns with a demo of the newest additions to Fotocx 24.30,
Dick last gave a talk on Fotoxx at our May 2022 meeting.

Re: Anyone want to buy a supercomputer?
Thanks Jeff and Maddog. I learned Fortran II ( then Fortran IV) on an IBM 4044 in 1965 and GE timesharing basic. All input to the 4044 was punch cards. Being in ROTC, I went right into the Army, then to Viet Nam.

CXL will unlock academic research computing disciplines that currently have no solution path. These include deeply recursive codes and applications that require large memory blocks. Unified Acceleration (UXL), was announced last month at the Linux Foundation Open Source Summit with the goal of delivering a multi-architecture and multi-vendor software ecosystem for all accelerators based on open source standards. And Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) is helping to build an open ecosystem of chiplets for on-package innovations.

When: March 15, 2023 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q) Topic: Tinkering With Cryptography Speaker: Brian DeLacey Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org Live stream: https://youtube.com/live/1H7Rbpq1LR8?feature=share Summary: Making cryptography more accessible and useful with Google's Tink Cryptographic Library Abstract: Brian covers the basics of a relatively new library from Google, with demonstration code running on multiple platforms. We'll also delve into some of the more advanced topics related to this code and take a special, deep dive into Key Management Systems. As part of the discussion, Brian explores the challenges of brittle bytes and how to achieve secure, authenticated access to critical data over time. Demos cover code running on tiny little machines and biggerbut still bargainbuilds. Demonstration code will be in Golang and Python, but the Tink Cryptographic Library also works well with C++, Java, mobile platforms and more. We'll also walk through and demonstrate code and the use of cryptography in “nostr”, which stands for “Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays”. According to its chief architect, nostr is “The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global ”social“ network once and for all. It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient; it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof; it does not rely on P2P techniques, therefore it works.” Attachments Google's Tink Cryptographic Library: https://developers.google.com/tink awesome-A curated (GitHub): https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr nostr: a truly censorship-resistant alternative to Twitter (GitHub): https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr Apple News 2022-12-07: Apple advances user security with powerful new data protections: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/12/apple-advances-user-security-with-powerful-new-data-protections/ For further information and directions please consult the BLU Web site: http://www.blu.org -- Jerry Feldman mailto:gaf.li...@gmail.com>> Boston Linux and Unix http://www.blu.org PGP key id: 6F6BB6E7 PGP Key fingerprint: 0EDC 2FF5 53A6 8EED 84D1 3050 5715 B88D 6F6 B B6E7 ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

While we have access to some older games via emulators, we are failing to save our free software history. Many developers try to develop a game, and then the game reaches a satisfactory state or the developer just moves on. Finding these games can be hard. Eventually libraries or languages change, and the game no longer runs. This talk will discuss restoring games for future players to enjoy. Bio Dennis Payne is a senior software engineer at Skillsoft. He has worked on the commercial game Devil's Whiskey. He maintains several open source games like Bt Builder and Ostrich Riders. He contributes to packaging in the Fedora distribution.

Boston Linux VIRTUAL Meeting , Wednesday, April 20, 2022 - Free Software Game Restoration
When: April 20, 2022 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q) Topic: Free Software Game Restoration Moderator: Dennis Payne Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org Live stream: https://youtu.be/ZCAoE6aigcE Summary: An update to a talk Dennis gave at LibrePlanet 2019 and BLU Januay 2019 Abstract: Games are part of our culture, like books and movies. While we have access to some older games via emulators, we are failing to save our free software history. Many developers try to develop a game, and then the game reaches a satisfactory state or the developer just moves on. Finding these games can be hard. Eventually libraries or languages change, and the game no longer runs. This talk will discuss restoring games for future players to enjoy. Bio Dennis Payne is a senior software engineer at Skillsoft. He has worked on the commercial game Devil's Whiskey. He maintains several open source games like Bt Builder and Ostrich Riders. He contributes to packaging in the Fedora distribution.

Boston Linux VIRTUAL Meeting reminder, tomorrow, Wednesday, June 23, 2021 - No One Ever Buys a Computer
When: June 23, 2021 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q) Note: This is not our regular third Wednesday because June 23 is Alan Turing's 109th birthday. Topic: No One Ever Buys a Computer Moderator: Jon "Maddog" Hall Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org Live stream: https://youtu.be/43geWUXNjZE Summary: Jon “maddog” Hall discusses what customers really look for Abstract: People never really buy software, nor do they buy hardware. They buy a solution to their problem, but it just happens that computers and software can solve many, many problems in a relatively inexpensive and flexible way compared to other solutions. Today there are hundreds of thousands of software modules and incredibly inexpensive, but powerful single board microcomputers or microprocessors to build these solutions. These in turn can help people sell and support these solutions, creating jobs. This talk will illustrate several ideas for these products and hope to stimulate ideas of other solutions that people could use. Bio Jon “maddog” Hall is the Board Chair of the Linux Professional Institute, Co-founder of Caninos Loucos, the President of Project Caua and the President of Linux International. Since 1969 Mr. Hall has been a programmer, systems designer, systems administrator, product manager, technical marketing manager, educator, author, CEO and consultant.

Boston Linux VIRTUAL Meeting Wednesday, June 23, 2021 - No One Ever Buys a Computer
When:June 23, 2021 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q) Note: This is not our regular third Wednesday because June 23 is Alan Turing's 109th birthday. Topic: No One Ever Buys a Computer Moderators: Jon "Maddog" Hall Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org Live stream: https://youtu.be/43geWUXNjZE Summary: Jon “maddog” Hall discusses what customers really look for Abstract: People never really buy software, nor do they buy hardware. They buy a solution to their problem, but it just happens that computers and software can solve many, many problems in a relatively inexpensive and flexible way compared to other solutions. Today there are hundreds of thousands of software modules and incredibly inexpensive, but powerful single board microcomputers or microprocessors to build these solutions. These in turn can help people sell and support these solutions, creating jobs. This talk will illustrate several ideas for these products and hope to stimulate ideas of other solutions that people could use. Bio Jon “maddog” Hall is the Board Chair of the Linux Professional Institute, Co-founder of Caninos Loucos, the President of Project Caua and the President of Linux International. Since 1969 Mr. Hall has been a programmer, systems designer, systems administrator, product manager, technical marketing manager, educator, author, CEO and consultant.

Re: Kind of puzzled about timestamps
Originally Unix used an epoch time system defined as the number of seconds
since January 1 1970. This was stored in a signed 32 bit integer that flips
in 2035. On 64 bit Linux systems it has been redefined as 64 bits. Unix
systems all use UTC. Linux normally uses UTC as the base, but because of
dual boot, some systems can use local time. PCs use local time. Unix and
Linux have a very rich set of time utilities.
