Notable changes have been introduced to our Discord instance to increase accessibility:

1. Weekly meetings will be automatically transcribed via Scripty and saved to #meeting-notes channel
2. Weekly meetings will be recorded with Craig and will be accessible with the /recordings subcommand
3. Messages in meeting-notes will be publicly visible via Linen: https://www.linen.dev/s/central-utah-lug/c/meeting-notes a. Note: usernames are set to be anonymous

Canceling meetup.com membership

Due to how expensive meetup.com is, we’re canceling the subscription behind the group on meetup.com and will no longer be updating the page. Please feel free to join Discord if you want to stay up-to-date on announcements: https://discord.gg/KEBCqdANz4

Or, checkout alternative ways to chat on our Contact page

https://matrix.to/#/#central-utah-lug:matrix.org

Discord, sshchat and Matrix are all bridged to the same #general channel in our Discord instance. We are using [Matterbridge] to facilitate the bridging of the separate services.

Matterbridge config

For anyone curious, at the time of writing this is how Matterbridge is configured to bridge these separate services (with sensitive values scrubbed):

[sshchat.culug]
Server="<snip>:22"
Nick="matterbridge"
RemoteNickFormat="[{PROTOCOL}] <{NICK}> "

[discord.culug]
Token="<snip>"
Server="<snip>"
AutoWebhooks=true
RemoteNickFormat="[{PROTOCOL}] <{NICK}> "
PreserveThreading=true

[matrix.matrix-org]
Server="https://matrix.org"
Login="<snip>"
Password="<snip>"
RemoteNickFormat="[{PROTOCOL}] <{NICK}> "
NoHomeServerSuffix=false

[[gateway]]
name="ssh-chat-discord-matrix-gateway"
enable=true

  [[gateway.inout]]
  account="discord.culug"
  channel="general"

  [[gateway.inout]]
  account="sshchat.culug"
  channel="sshchat"

  [[gateway.inout]]
  account="matrix.matrix-org"
  channel="#central-utah-lug:matrix.org"

Bonus: SSHchat

This is the snippet with how we’re running sshchat:

docker run -v ./motd.txt:/opt/motd.txt -v ./ssh:/root/.ssh -p 22:2022 -d --name=sshchat --restart=unless-stopped docker.io/heywoodlh/ssh-chat:daf4677 /usr/local/bin/ssh-chat --identity=/root/.ssh/id_rsa --admin=/root/.ssh/admin_authorized_keys --motd=/opt/motd.txt

Note: the meetup.com subscription has been discontinued and we will no longer be updating the page

We have a meetup.com page for each of our weekly events at the following URL:

https://www.meetup.com/central-utah-linux-unix-user-group/

Any information specific to each meetup will be posted there.

Note: the meetup.com subscription has been discontinued and we will no longer be updating the page

We will be meeting at 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekly on Thursday in Room 122 of the Graham Science Center at Snow College in Ephraim, UT.
