SF-LUG Meeting notice and forwarded message from Bobbie Sellers
-------------------------------------------------------------

San Francisco Linux Users' Group's next meeting is this upcoming Sunday
July 7th, from 11:00 AM till 1:00 PM PDT

Quoting the current SF-LUG webpage www.sf-lug.org
(current as of this writing) :

Browser: one will need sufficiently recent version of, e.g.
Chromium, Chrome, or possibly Firefox - in any case one that well
supports WebRTC.
Dial-in (audio alternative or audio only): +1.512.647.1431

OTOH, directly quoting Rick Moen <rick at linuxmafia.com> from last
month's posting http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2024q2/016014.html
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's a bit ludicrous.  It's 2024.  You'd have to search really _hard_
to find a sufficiently ancient graphical Web browser that doesn't work
with Jitsi Meet.  Probably MSIE.

Just say "Web browser", for heaven's sake.  Alternatively, there are
bespoke Jitsi Meet clients for desktop and smartphone OSes.

And yes, Jitsi Project does have a painfully exact "supported browsers"
list.

Even there, context matters:  These are versions _guaranteed_ to have
not a trace of problems, i.e., specifically tested and vetted.  That
doesn't mean, say, Firefox 67, a 2019 piece of software, wouldn't work.
It would.  Practically anything from the last 20 years would.

Forwarded message from Bobbie Sellers...
Quoting "B. Sellers" <bliss-sf4ever at dslextreme.com> :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
possible topic for the next meeting

The suggested topic is From Linux Updates:
** Simulate Phishing Attacks
(

------------------------------------------------------------
To stop an attacker, you need to think like an attacker,
and to think like an attacker, you need to learn the tools
for the trade. HiddenEye helps you simulate a phishing attack.
