East Side Meeting
by Chris Bier 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

Hi All, I was thinking we could have a meeting on the East side, since there were several people interested in meeting there. Would the 3rd Tuesday (April 16th) work, or would Wednesday the 17th be better? Which Library over there would be best? Also, would someone be willing to signup for a room at that library? Chris

LVM Auto-Grow
by Billy Croan 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

I had a filesystem fill up and kill a job that I rather didn't want killed last night. I couldn't find a program to automatically grow lvm-hosted filesystems if I don't notice they're filling up and do something about it. So I wrote a terrifyingly abhorrent bash script this morning to do it. Next meeting I'm at, remind me and I'll show it off in all its terror, and maybe someone can convince me there's a better way, or point directly to the program I should have found before writing my own. And maybe, just extending this offer, will push me to finish cleaning up the edge cases in my script and properly finish it to avoid the embarrassment of being human in front of other humans.

figured out my intermittent crash I was complaining about at the meeting
by David Nicol 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

What was happening was, I was using __PACKAGE__->log instead of $me->log to log when there was a locking problem -- which is of course intermittent and random -- and as the ->log method uses properties of the passed instance variable in determining the name of the file to log to, it failed (as designed.) Score: David's carelessness when hacking late at night: 1 David's prudent use of HCF on minor errors to expose deeper problems: 1 Conclusion: risk mitigation strategy effective. I trust the library got their cable back. I'm curious as to if it got deployed any after I left. --dln -- "Lay off that whiskey, and let that cocaine be!" -- Johnny Cash

I was listening to this EFF podcast about using technology to help democracy be more open and wondering if there were any projects in MO and KS. Does anyone know of any? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/02/podcast-episode-open-source-beats-aut…
