28 Aug '20

Hey all! Been a while since our last LUV meeting. I am in the process of planning for September and given it will be the first time we are running a LUV main meeting online, we can be creative about the format. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome! Also, what topics should we discuss? Do you have a topic you like to hear about? Even better, do you have a topic you would like to talk about? The event will be held next Tuesday, September the 1st. Feel free to reply to this*, *or send an email to the committee ( luv-ctte(a)luv.asn.au) Thanks! + Alexar -- [image: image.jpg] *Alexar Pendashteh* technologist / social entrepreneur https://github.com/pendashteh

Advice needed about ZFS
by stripes theotoky 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

Dear Group, I am looking for advice on ZFS. My computer is running painfully slowly. I assume this is due to ZFS snapshots eating the entire disk space. My knowledge of ZFS is almost zero, this box was installed by a friend in the UK back in 2016 in the days when Ubuntu 16:04 was experimental and is still running 16.04. I have run the following commands sudo zpool set listsnapshots=on alexandria zfs list -o space -r alexandria Which seems to show the space is being eaten by snapshots of the home directory and oddly that there are no snapshots from before 2019. The computer is in effect unuseable at the moment. All suggestions are very welcome. The box is a dual boot Linux / Windows but the windows partition could be drastically reduced in size if this is the real problem.

Conflict between SpiderOak and NordVPN
by stripes theotoky 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

I keep getting a problem with a Locked -1 error message from SpiderOak which stops it updating the files. I have this advice from SpiderOak which seems good but assuming a GUI and as I am running this on Linux from the terminal I need help to convert this advice to something I can use. It has come to light that NordVPN is causing issues within SpiderOak ONE. Unfortunately NordVPN has been unable to render any assistance with this. Currently we have found a solution that stabilizes the working relationship between the two programs. Please follow the following directions. 1. Open NordVPN 2. Choose a connection, whether quick connect or one you use frequently. 3. Allow NordVPN to connect. Once connected it will display a name and IP address for the location you are connected to. 4. Make note of the name and IP address. You will need them. 5. Select settings. 6. Select auto connect. 7. For preferred gateway choose the country associated with the connection you chose. 8. For the region, choose the connection number you chose. 9. Navigate to Advanced. 10. Turn on Custom DNS 11. Input the IP address for the connection you chose. At this point, close out of Nord and start it again. Once it is running and connected, it is safe to open SpiderOak One. -- Stripes Theotoky -37 .713869 145.050562

Jitsi

https://j.luv.asn.au/ Above is the URL for the LUV Jitsi instance. I'll name the room "a". Keep things short so you can type it quickly if you get disconnected. 6PM tomorrow we will start. You will notice that the server is based in Melbourne and has no IPv6 addresses, currently the only IPv6 address space I have access to is tunneled from Germany which isn't good for latency. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

BBC radio program, saving the audio
by Mark Trickett 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Hello All, I heard a BBC documentary on ABC Radio National, in the World Docos segment. I want the audio to pass on to others, and I would strongly recommend it to all here. I can get it to play, but not to save, yet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000jtmv There are five episodes, and the last is the kicker. I do have youtube-dl installed,and command runner firefox extension, but not yet sure how to go about. I would also appreciate examples to be able to use them to download from ABC iView, I want "saving Planet A". Regards, Mark Trickett

Yes. Thanks Rick for pointing out other video meetups. Rick if there's any interesting Linux video meetup you plan to join please send the link to luv- main. 2020 is a dumpster fire. I'm more depressed than usual and finding it difficult to arrange things. I've setup a LUV Jitsi VM with low ping times in Melbourne (less than 5ms ping time to www.theage.com.au) we just need to arrange some stuff. I think we need to get some more committee members who are in a good mental state to do stuff. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
