Greetings List Lurkers, Springtime is turning it's jaundiced eyes towards a rebirth...
Winter requires that I state that our meeting tonight will take place at the regular time and place at the York Library. The Roku crisis ended in two ways: Dave and I found a pi 4, loaded the FOSS Libre Elec media player, and I ended up with working Netflix and YouTube by suppertime...the bad news is that Amazon offered me a firestick on sale for $20.00. https://community.roku.com/t5/Community-discussions/Discussion-Roku-Dispute-Resolution-Term-Update/td-p/950649 ...our response to this is... Now that we have all this FOSS TV under operational control I am gonna suggest that UVM Fablab: https://uvmfablab.net/workshops-for-the-uvm-community/ Do a workshop on how to do this. Wish us Luck. I continue working on Visual bash scripts for the Zope2 containerization and getting back to getting Google Drive to behave at a command line. The Zope2 project is all based upon my my critical goal which is to get my currently used version of zope2 running in a container... Progress to date has most to do with developing these tasks: 1. Container management loading and persistence 2. Getting the right version of Python running and finally... 3. Coerce Zope2.10 to run in this container. 4. Load the right data.fs file... 5. Reproduce-ability This bit of programming is dramatized in the ongoing Visual Bash script: http://docbox.flint.com:8081/visual.bash#MyOwnPersonalVersionOfHell God help me... In addition I concocted the following new script: lxcycl.sh - The LinuX Container CYCle (http://docbox.flint.com:8081/docker#LinxXContainercYCL) This is an attempt to recursively encapsulate the tools you need to perform docker based development. This kind of script is mostly to allow me to learn and retain my foo in docker develoipmment. This unworthy efforts is up on GitHub as I finished mercilessly editing lxcycl.sh. Please pull it and fix it. ...so more about these foolish ideas (like going up against ROKU) this Monday evening at 6PM. This all adds up to our centralizing and convocating at the York Branch Library this evening. That said, come in remotely and bring this and any other problems and questions and we will do our thing! This evening beyond the Library face-2-face & gizmo-2-gizmo, we shall use jit.si/bosi to connect. Feel free to click the following link to join... Come on to Jitsi at 6PM!
