DESCRIPTION:Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement&#13\;\
 n&#13\;\nWho: Michael Dexter&#13\;\nWhat: This is a test(1): A shell scr
 ipter's guide to ubiquitous assumption testing&#13\;\nWhere: Zoom\, flaw
 ed as it is\, link below&#13\;\nWhen: Thursday\, February 3rd\, 2022 at 
 7pm&#13\;\nWhy: The pursuit of technology freedom&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&quot\;
 Look before you leap&quot\; is a valuable lesson in many aspects of life
  but particularly in computer science and administration. Responsible de
 velopers make extensive use of the test(1)\, a.k.a. &quot\;[&quot\; util
 ity which quickly and programmatically tests assumptions as simple as\, 
 &quot\;does this file exist&quot\;\, relying on zero and non-zero return
  values to answer that question. This deceptively-simple yet highly-effi
 cient use of return values can avoid hours of debugging and achieve goal
 s such as idempotence. This talk will explain the importance of the test
 (1) utility\, and explain similar functionality in other utilities such 
 as FreeBSD's grep(1)\, kldstat(8)\, and others that support &quot\;-q qu
 iet&quot\; mode. It will also identify opportunities for additional &quo
 t\;quiet mode&quot\; functionality.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAbout Michael&#13\;\n
 &#13\;\nHe broke it\, he bought it. Michael has organized PLUG since lat
 e 2009 and did not find a speaker. By day\, Michael has nursed depressed
  NAS systems back to life since 2012.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#13\;\nReturning t
 o Zoom for now&#13\;\n&#13\;\nPLUG aims to dogfood free and open source 
 technologies whenever possible and Jit.si had a good run. It is quirky a
 nd very difficult to manage as a moderator\, but it is free software. Re
 cording meetings proved unworkable but thank you Vincent for spinning up
  a Jit.si VM during a meeting *and* removing the watermark. Many colleag
 ues have reported that web-based Zoom is working better than ever with f
 ree and open source desktop operating systems and for the success of PLU
 G and my sanity as a moderator\, I need to use the best tool for the job
 . Please continue to send your ideas for better tools and I would not ru
 le out moving to a solution that someone is willing to take ownership of
 \, as Vincent did with the Jit.si VM.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nhttps://us06web.zoo
