This week, on Thursday nite at 6:30The Evolution of Internet Security:
From SSL to Modern TLS.
Presenter: *Grant Taylo*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sluug.org/bio/Grant_Taylor&sa=D&so…>r
& *Lee Lammert*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sluug.org/bio/Lee_Lammert&sa=D&sou…>
Since the 1990s, security of internet traffic has been a major concern for
all parties involved. Starting with *OpenSSL, SSL* tech has matured over
the years, including a major issue in 2014 (Heartbleed).
Tune in Thursday to learn more!
(Editor's note: TLS, which stands for *Transport Layer Security**,* is a
cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over a network,
like the internet. It's widely used to encrypt data sent between
applications, like: web browsers and servers, email, *instant messaging*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messagin…>
, *voice over IP*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_over_IP&sa…>,
...ensuring
privacy and data integrity. Think of it as a secure tunnel for your
online communications. TLS is a proposed by The *Internet Engineering
Task Force*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Enginee…>
(IETF)
"*open standard*". First defined in 1999, the current version defined in
August 2018.)

MAIN Topic: The History of Computing: 2000-2009
Presenter: Scott Granneman (https://www.sluug.org/bio/Scott_Granneman)
This talk will cover the
foundational tech shifts of 2000–2009:
Microsoft introduced Windows 2000 and XP,
Apple reinvented itself with OS X and the iPhone, and
Linux gained traction with enterprise-ready distros like Red Hat and
Ubuntu.
Open source became mainstream, aided by the rise of platforms like Firefox,
OpenOffice, and Git — which reshaped not just Linux development but modern
software collaboration itself.
We’ll also look at the rise of Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, exFAT, NTFS 3.0, and the
massive growth of the Internet, from Wikipedia and Gmail to YouTube and
Facebook.
It was a decade that quietly built the world we live in now.

The extant Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest,
longest enduring, continuously meeting personal computer organization
active in the Greater St. Louis Area.
You are invited to attend this next ONLINE session, in lieu of any
regular physical face-to-face meeting. Further instructions below.
* ONLINE Sessions
* NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS until further notice.
* ONLINE session will use ZOOM remote video service 5 June 2025.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
You do not have to have a microphone and webcamera to participate. You
can just chat, listen and watch using a Chrome based browser. We suggest
that you clear browser cache and cookies before starting any session.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
RECOMMENDED CLIENT TESTING:
We will open the remote session by about 6:00 PM, Central Standard Time.
Join early to test your controls, hearing (sound), video screen sharing
and microphone (speaking). You might be muted on entry.
During this half hour test period others may be able to help you.
Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset can result in a feedback
loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at least earbuds is highly
recommended. Wired Ethernet is always better than WiFi connectivity.
If you do not take the time and make the effort to get your connection
working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Annoying disruptions
may cause you to be kicked off the session.
Try dropping your connection and rejoin. That sometimes fixes issues;
but, do so slowly, as granting access to your microphone and camera too
quickly is the current main problem. Also, there are often sound
settings in different browsers that may need to be changed.
======================================================================
WHEN YOU ENTER THIS ONLINE SESSION:
6:00 PM Join early.
Please set your identity to show first name and last name. Instead of
full last name you could just follow first name with an initial. We
do prefer that you use your full last name.
Please hold you questions until after start of the meeting.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
6:30 PM Start of meeting.
Anybody joining after 6:30pm that experiences issues with controls,
hearing, screen sharing or speaking should only use chat room to ask
questions or make comments. Disconnecting and reconnecting usually
fixes issues from an initial problem session.
All may be muted at this point. You will have to unmute yourself in
order to speak. You can ask questions and make comments in chat room.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ORDER OF EVENTS:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call-For-Help during our Questions-and-Answers period.
Sometimes we may watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
TOPICS:
We usually hold a Hardware and Software Configuration Workshop when
nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no other
event or activity scheduled. This is an open free format workshop.
In this workshop we usually assess, configure, examine, fix, install,
repair, and troubleshoot difficult hardware and software configuration
problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and
hardware are also frequently fixed.
