Next meeting is this coming Thursday at Carindale LIbrary, 6.30 pm.
I’ve been a bit slack this month (I blame k8s) but have just updated the website.
We have James talking on git and I have added some of the loose threads, but we are open for others and for a second presentation.
Not sure if it’s your or @jdownie who looks after the Meetup side, but I’ll flag that the description for this Thursday opens with:
I hope to see you all at Chermside Library one last time this year before we shift this meeting back to Carindale for a while.
Although the title is correct, that sentence may lead people astray.
Also the new logo looks great 
Oops, that’s me. Thanks @Belfry , I’ve fixed that now.
Hey @zeeclor , i’m down in the agenda to present Git, which is cool. My intention though is to present the CLI, because that was a bit part of why i make heavy day to day use of git.
I assume that i’m still presenting, but i’m the only one. Does anybody else want to put their hand up to present any topic that they would like to share with the rest of us?
I think it’s all fine as listed.
I’ve sent the reminder to humbug.
Tomorrow night Homelab Brisbane is holding its monthly in person meeting at 7.30 pm at Carindale Library.
@jdownie is talking on command line git. The meeting is then open for general discussion.

If @Belfry is coming (I think he is) I just want to pick his brains on homelab DNS and firewalls.
Ow, my brain!
Yes, I am coming. Happy to chat about DNS, etc., and equally happy to put together something more formal and brief, 15-20 mins long, if there’s a specific subset of theory/config you think would be of benefit to the group.
Don’t worry the brain has no sensory receptors.
Something along the lines of Homelab DNS would be great. I think homelab firewalls are a bigger topic.
Will do - Sketching out an overview and I might be a fraction over 20, sorry!
I don’t know if this will encourage or discourage people, but my talk will be more about my love of the cli. I gave a talk a little while ago about git, but then realised that not everybody spends as much time in the terminal as i do. My goal with tonight’s talk is to encourage more people to spend more time in the terminal.
Great. I’ve given you the full nine yards.
That’s a worthy goal.
I’ve tried Silverblue Sway but am still on Trixie Gnome.
I dabble in vim but never really got serious about neovim or emacs (or helix). I admire the way others use the command line and copy and paste with ease. I think the issue is that I have never really groked buffers … or perhaps I am just “holding it wrong”.
Looking forward to the talk.
Git from the terminal is the best. I don’t mind a good visualisation but I’ve never seen the need to use any fancy GUI-based (or IDE integrated) commit tools.
git filter-repo is also a really neat tool when you want to (for example) extract something with its commit history… or excise something and its history (oops secrets!) from a repository and is probably worth a short talk on its own if anyone is interested in future. On the other hand it’s kind of a niche tool so…
I’ve published my presentation on the homepage…
I probably should explain this for everybody’s benefit; the web site publishes our events, and you can subscribe to those events with ical. Those events first get an agenda, which we loosely follow, and after the event they get overwritten with the minutes.
I’m not great at taking minutes. Well, to be accurate, i don’t do it. What i actually do is try to take some notes the day after, which is not what minutes are. If anybody would like me to add something to the minutes so that the information will be there to refer to later (i’m looking at you @Belfry 
), please let me know.
Sing out if you’d like to clone the repo and help out with any of this stuff too.
