dinner before meeting
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

It's getting late to decide. Gordon (I think) suggested a while back that we have dinner at Ethiopiques as a special occasion. When we ate there once before, dinner was very good, a little more expensive than our usual places, and quite slow. It would be wise to move the start time to 17:45 sharp, I think. The best way to eat ethiopian food is "family style" with communal dishes. Unless everyone jumps in and says "yes" right away, I think that this is too little lead time. For myself, I'm happy to say yes. In case we don't get enough enthusiastic yes's soon (who will decide?), I will tentatively declare Banh Mi Boys (399 Yonge St.) to be the primary target for dinner. In case that is closed, our secondary target is Donair Kebab House 391 Yonge St. Both are on the east side of Yonge, close to Gerrard. Rebellion welcomed. I never wanted to be the dinner dictator.

Emulating a USB keyboard using ???
by William Park 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

Hi guys, Do you know a way to emulate a USB keyboard using Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, ODROID, or some other embedded board? That is, as far as PC is concerned, it's receiving keypresses from some keyboard. I know those boards have UART pins. But, even if I connect the pins to a serial-to-USB cable, the USB end of the cable will show up as serial (/dev/ttyUSBx) and not as keyboard. I have such a cable, and that's what I see. -- William

[GTALUG-Announce] Meeting on Tuesday at 7:30pm with Christopher Browne and Scott Sullivan
by Myles Braithwaite 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

<http://gtalug.org/meeting/2015-12/> # Terminal Multiplexers and PXE Boot ## Screen, Tmux, Byobu, the Secret Terminal Brains!!! ### Christopher Browne GNU Screen has been lurking around since the 1980s, as a kind of "tiling window manager atop curses". BSD folk spawned an analogue called tmux in 2009, offering both additions and removals of functionality. Byobu offers a harmonization, and (arguably) better user experience. We'll look at some usages, use cases, and see how frequently Byobu Hollywood crashes. ## Good Bye Boot Media! (or, don't copy that boot floopy) ### Scott Sullivan A tour of how network boot/install can save you ever having to burn a DVDs or USB drive. ## Location George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Room 203 Ryerson University <http://goo.gl/maps/16oJ2> <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> ## Schedule * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk(a)gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. * 9:00 pm - After each meeting a group of GTALUGers move to the The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socializing. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills. We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that could jeopardize the participation of any person in the community.

Anyone using Mosh?
by Giles Orr 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

https://mosh.mit.edu/ If you scroll down, there's an introductory video that's pretty interesting. Sounds like a great idea, with a couple caveats: I wonder about the security and there's a wicked hook in a question right at the end that suggests it's very NOT firewall friendly. Packages are available for Debian, and apparently other distros too. Anyone tried it, or using it on a regular basis? -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr(a)gmail.com
