Thanks! These are the kinds of ideas I like to see!

I like this idea, and since we have the LUG Wiki now, we could
self-police whenever we go to the library and have issues, add an
entry to a page on "Hunt Wireless".

The problem is that all of the wired Internet is MAC-address locked.
Quite frankly, if they library knows that the wireless is weak, then
they should enable wired internet for us to use as a fallback. What's
the point in making theinfrastructure if they aren't going to use it? :P

I don't like the idea of causing them trouble. More effective would be
to develop a report and recommendation and offer it in the official
capacity of the LUG.

We've got two big events this week, so get your google calendar out
and get ready to take notes!
The first is our regular dinner on Monday Night. Tomorrow at 19:00,
we'll be heading to Oishi on Hillsborough Street to try their sushi. I
haven't been there since they opened, so I figure it's worth a shot.
Come out for fun and fish.
Our first 2013 hack day is also on the horizon! This Saturday, we'll
be meeting in Hunt Library from noon until 20:00 to work on projects
and socialize.
For those of you unfamiliar with how a hack day works, it's basically
an unstructured working day where we get a bunch of nerds in one room
to work on projects and provide feedback and company to one another.
While the main event will be going on in the Fishbowl on the fourth
floor, you can reserve one of the small study rooms if you want to
hold a breakout in a quiet place to get work or discussion done.
We've had issues with wireless in Hunt in the past, so be prepared to
work offline or bring some 3/4G to work with. I'll keep everyone
up-to-date on what's going on during the hack day on the @ncsulug
Twitter account with the hashtag #lughackday.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Barry Peddycord III

Hello, LUGggers,
If you still haven't found something to do today (like Cary Open Data Day), you should come to the hack day! Bring something interesting to work on, or just show up to hang out!
It's in the Fishbowl, on the fourth floor of Hunt Library, the shiny silver building on Centennial Campus. (If you drive, you can park in the Oval West parking deck slightly north of it.) After entering Hunt Library, follow the giant yellow stairs up to the fourth floor, and you'll see a big glass room with weirdly colored lights. That's the Fishbowl!
The hack day is scheduled from 12:00 to 20:00, but we may go out for dinner or some such afterwards. We hope to see you there!
Thanks,
Matthew "leafstorm" Frazier

Topic: Pulp
Presenter: Michael Hrivnak
When: Thursday, March 14, 7pm
Where: Red Hat HQ, NCSU Centennial Campus, 1801 Varsity Dr, Raleigh, NC
Video: (published soon after the meeting) YouTube
Pulp creates and manages repositories of content, such as software
packages, and can push that content out to large numbers of machines.
Today Pulp manages RPM content (including srpm, drpm, etc.) and Puppet
modules, and many other types are on the road map. There is a
community project well under-way to implement Debian support.
If you want to locally mirror all or part of a repository, host your
own content in a new repository, manage content from multiple sources
in one place, and push content you choose out to large numbers of
clients, Pulp is for you!
http://www.pulpproject.org/
Michael Hrivnak works for Red Hat on the Pulp Project. With strong
experience in both software and systems engineering, he is excited to
be writing software for systems engineers. Michael is passionate about
open source software, live music, and reducing energy consumption.

Hello, LUGgers,
Tonight, we're going to have an Open Source Show & Tell. Basically, you show off some open source code that you have been working on or using recently. It doesn't have to be code you wrote - it can just be something you think is cool, and that the rest of us would be interested in. It's a slightly more relaxed atmosphere than lightning talks, because you're not on a strict time limit.
It's in Hunt Library 3212, at 19:00. We'll go out for dinner afterwards. 3212 is on the north side of the third floor, past the game lab - take a right from the big yellow stairs.
(If this seems like a bit of a cop-out, you're right! We were so busy with hack day stuff, we forgot about the technical session two days later. Fortunately, March looks like it'll be somewhat better organized.)
We hope to see you there!
Thanks,

As next week is Spring Break, we will not be having a social dinner on
Monday. That being said, if you guys want to organize something
yourself, you have the power to do so here on the Mailing List or in IRC.
See you all on March 11!

Message-ID: <CAO2sX30G0BVq6hscMaPSc-=VShhbcS=10zf8W4s98b1_7TWaoQ@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
Good Evening
I recently deleted a folder containing a bunch of C++ programs I have
written since I started learning it last fall, and decided to try and
recover them from the flash drive I used to move my source code
between home and school as I have done no work since the last time I
offloaded them for the flash drive and have written nothing to said
flash drive since the last offloading.
I have scanned the flash drive with photorec and am hopeful that among
the mess of text files recovered will be all the code I care about.
Unfortunately, photorec only recovers the data and not the original
filenames or directory structure, leaving me with over 2000 text files
to siff through in search of what I am looking for. I have already
used fdupes to weed out any recovered files that match files that had
not been deleted, but that does not catch partially recovered files,
leaving me with a lot of fragments to deal with as well.
So, does anyone know a command line utility for the following:
1. Scanning large groups of text files, comparing their and deleting
any files who contents match a subset of a larger file's content?
2. An alternative to photorec that can recover not only data from fat
partitions, but also the original filenames and directory structure?
I am also open to any other suggestions that might help in this matter.
In case it makes a difference in attempting to recover them, the files
I wish to recover are mostly c++ source files along with a few plain
text data files that some of the code utilizes.
Also, due to recent vision problems forcing me to rely on a screen
reader and text-based apps, GUI tools are, for the most part, out of
my reach. So, please, limit your suggestions to command line
utilities.
Thanks in advance

You can try using the 'foremost' utility
apt-get install foremost
or scalpel (
