Greetings List Lurkers, Self realization dictates that I am likely not the neatest person on the planet...
For example, I have this rainy day the task of cleaning the wall-to-wall covering the stairs at casa Flint... This turns out to be tedious, exertive and expensive. Yet it is an excellent thing to get done considering we will have house guests this week. Other tediousness is to repeat that what I really want to get to is that we need to eventually plan a meet up at SugarTower, where we can assess and organize the TechnoRubble that has accumulated from our strategic withdrawal from Methodism, the week passed shows how I expanded and continue to expand the dry storage areas. Soon SugarTower will mostly shut down for the winter, I expect this will be revisited in the spring... As stated previously, we want to make Incremental TechnoRubble Progress (ITP). Hopefully a plan shall be forthcoming. Sing out or attend this evening's meeting in person if you are interested in the SugarTower TechnoRubble loot. The new 'thespian' laptop is a case in point. Imagine a laptop which merely records video and audio. You boot it and that is what it does. More on this project as it develops. Tonight, I expect to continue my education in the SuSe version of Immutability and Associated Containers (IAOC) that DTG has been coaching me on IAOC which is really cool development environment. One of my fantasies to forge in the IAOC environment is, since we got Pipewire hooked up, we may be delving into some audio evil... AudioEvil.sh is a VisualBash script yet to be written, which strikes me as the ultimate name for a bash script to implement and monitor acquisition of protected audio streams (Piracy :^). Clearly a winter project... The next logical step after AudioEvil.sh would be AVRelay.sh. AVRelay would trans-code between different video conferencing applications (E.G. jitsi to zoom). Basically, one example; you would run a jitsi server on one virtual machine which would relay to a zoom client. Well they say it good to dream... Again, maybe Dave can consider a brief stint of immorality to help me with AudioEvil.sh. AVRelay.sh seems morally clean. ...and winter is coming! That said we have a meeting tonight at 6PM. The life lesson here is that serious development remains for the winter. Winter shall soon allow us to answer questions like - Can I use Chat GPT to generate VisualBash scripts? - Would it make sense to store VisualBash functions in MariaDB? ...so more about these foolish ideas is available this Monday evening at 6 PM at the York Library in beautiful East Barre Vermont. Thus we are centralizing and convocating at the York Branch Library this evening. That said, come in person or remotely and bring this and any other problems and questions and we shall do our thing! This evening, beyond the Library face-2-face & gizmo-2-gizmo, we shall use https://meet.jit.si/bosi to connect. Come on to https://meet.Jit.si/bosi at 6PM!
