Sam Zhang will follow up his July presentation on download managers with a discussion about video downloading tools. He will cover the death of youtube-dl, the rise of yt-dlp, as well as commandline usage and configuration for these tools.

Gordon Dey will tell us about his journey of getting a transceiver working with the MQTT publish/subscribe server Mosquitto. 

We are continuing the dinner meetup tradition at Crabby Joe's in downtown Kitchener, 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 70 King St E in Kitchener, at the corner of King and Frederick St. Here is a map. 

You can park in the restaurant parking lot -- staff will give you a voucher for parking. Otherwise, parking at City of Kitchener parking lots is free after 5pm. The nearest City parking lots are at 40 Ontario St S, or 5 Charles St E.

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

Colin_ will discuss the virtualization platform Proxmox. He writes:

In this demonstration, I'll show how to set up a Proxmox cluster with High Availability using a stack of older Mac Minis, a Raspberry Pi, and a network switch. The presentation will highlight Proxmox's simplicity and reliability in a simulated home network environment, providing insights into its practical applications and benefits.
