We are continuing the dinner meetup tradition at Ethel's Lounge in Uptown Waterloo, starting at 7pm. Note that this restaurant meeting is on a Wednesday.

This is a supplementary informal meeting; we will still hold hybrid meetings for technical topics.

The restaurant is located at 114 King Street North in Waterloo, at the corner of King and Young St East. Here is a map. 

You can probably just show up, but the organizers would find it helpful if you RSVPed to dinner@kwlug.org 

Lori Paniak will discuss the WatGPU project, which clusters GPUs together for research computation purposes.

Sam Zhang will discuss Fabric, a commandline-based "open-source framework for augmenting humans using AI".

Thomas Busch will show us how to set up a local DNS server.

A number of KWLUG members will show off some cool tools:

• Jeff Smith will demonstrate mkvmerge and mkvextract . 
• Shravan Dwarka will demonstrate some bash scripting.
• Tim Laurence will demonstrate nmap. 
• Andrew Cant will demonstrate using Lua in Neovim. 

Khalid Baheyeldin will follow up on his November 2024 presentation on internal climate monitoring with a presentation on using Home Assistant to monitor weather conditions outside his house, such as lightning strikes and thunderstorm distances. He will discuss Home Assistant integration with rtl_433 to decode radio transmissions,  with devices such as La Crosse and AcuRite weather stations, and with WeeWX for statistics.
