This is why you shouldn't include a complete Turing-complete language in your font format and a full VM to execute your fonts: people will develop stuff like this. /s I can imagine it might be convenient for someone, but in the meantime look upon it and weep! https://github.com/jimparis/qr-font<https://github.com/jimparis/qr-font?utm_source=aweber&utm_medium=email&utm_…> -Adam Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Looking for a GPU
by Daulton 08 Jul '26

08 Jul '26

Hi muug, I'm wondering if any of you have a GPU to sell or want to get rid of that is single slot, no external power connector, and has a VGA port? Just need any old card for display out on a hypervisor. Thank you, Daulton

Reminder: MUUG Meeting, Tonight, June 2, 7:30pm (WSC, 598 St. Mary's Rd) -- Local certificates and CA’s
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 02 Jun '26

02 Jun '26

A reminder that the MUUG meeting is happening, both in-person and online, this evening... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, June 2nd, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Local certificates and CA’s There are many tools and services to get you up and running with a web server certificate issued by a trusted CA (Certificate Authority). The internet is filled with many good tutorials on how to do just that. So why yet another? The vast majority of those don’t cover the case where you have an internal website (not accessible by the internet, and maybe without internet access itself) and you still need to have a proper (not self-issued) certificate so your internal web clients (browsers) know this is a trusted website. Kevin McGregor will describe the concepts and process needed to make this happen. And to speed it up, no demos! RTFM: /bin Diving Time permitting, Wyatt Zacharias will then try to figure out what a random /bin command does — live in front of the group. Fun group discussions and insights usually ensue. Come for the fun of it, and stay for the group participation and shared learning opportunity! Where to find the Meeting: **NOTE NEW LOCATION** Winnipeg Senior Citizens Radio Club, 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor WSC is located at 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor, a block South from the St. Mary's / St. Anne's fork, on the West side beside the Miller's Meats. It's in the old fire hall, so you really can't miss it! Look for the red door. There are a limited number of parking spaces for WSC around the building. If you arrive early you'll probably snag one. If not, there is parking available on the nearby streets, such as Mager Dr, or the streets off of St. Mary's such as Blenheim or Clonard Ave. Be careful not to park in nearby private parking lots unless otherwise indicated. There is no elevator, so attendees will have to be able to climb a flight of stairs. Apologies to anyone requiring accessibility. *Please Remove Your Footwear!* To keep the carpets clean and dry, please remove your outdoor footwear at the top of the stairs. Feel free to bring a pair of indoor shoes, sandals, or Crocs to use indoors. *Entry Log Book:* To support WSC operations, we ask all guests to sign the log book provided by WSC as you enter the meeting space. Online Meeting Option: For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.) The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.

LOL, that's worse than usual! vim & chromium, the leaders in CVEs. P.S. chromium is just chrome de-googled(ish), so all of these CVEs apply to chrome.

cheap high-density 24-port SATA
by Adam Thompson 22 May '26

22 May '26

I mentioned, not terribly long ago, a way to get 24 SATA ports relatively cheaply using M.key modules in a carrier board, as long as your motherboard has a spare x16 slot that supports bifurcation. While searching for something else altogether, I noticed someone has put it together as a package (except for the cabling) to make life easy, at a reasonable price: * BTER PCIE X16 Expansion Card, 4 x 32Gbps Full Speed Signal SATA 3.0 DC Power Chip Stable Operation JMB585 Chip PCIE to SATA 6G Adapter Card, Stable Operation Thicker PCB 4 Disk Expansion Card : Amazon.ca: Electronics<https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09PNMFQNB> * ( https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09PNMFQNB ) I say “reasonable price” because the cheapest 24-port SATA single-slot HBA I’ve seen that isn’t severely limited by a PCIe x1 interface(!), is this GLOTRENDS thing<https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0D2J4NF18> for $350, and the name-brand cards with tech support mostly start around $750! -Adam
