BLUG was started in 1998 by a small group of computer geeks in Bellingham, Washington who wanted to get off Windows and learn from local Unix gurus.  Our focus is on Linux and all Open Source software.

We hold a presentation meeting the first Thursday of the month at Bellingham Technical College in Campus Center room 201 (CC201). On the second Thursday we hold an informal organization meeting with the time and location announced on our mailing list. We also put on special events including the regional LinuxFest Northwest in the Spring.

PiHole Workshop

11/20/2024 at 05:30 PM

After the success of our last meetup covering PiHole as a concept, we have decided to put on a workshop class focused on installing and utilizing PiHole. The workshop aims to teach participants about improving home network security using PiHole, a popular network-level ad blocker and DNS sinkhole. By highlighting the practical applications of PiHole, the source emphasizes its potential to enhance network performance and overall security for individuals at home.  Bring your Raspberry Pi’s, or an old Linux laptop (preferably Debian-based) and join us as we provide a hands-on, mentor-based workshop with the students from BTC!
