~ 7pm announcements & general Q&A

~7:15 Main topic: RISC architecture
(Our original topic on WSA must be rescheduled to a future month.)

# Mr. Perry will give a talk on the features of RISC architecture and how it differs from Intel x86 processors. He will also address the security benefits of RISC.

# Extract from Wikipedia... [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1_O3f2o8L0o98fQGFE8TjK)

# (Editors' note:

In the last year, Apple startled the market by switching from Intel chips to their own, custom chips. These are RISC architecture rather than Intel architecture and they are "breaking speed limits" on the BSD-based MacOS. So, its time we review RISC.

Presented by: Carl Perrry, of RISC-V ( https://riscv.org/ )

Mr. Perry is an experienced Linux developer and is involved with the
implementation of RISC architecture.

## Preceeeded @6:30pm by BASE : Pi-Hole

## a basic Topic: Pi-hole

### Presenter: James Conroy

Read ahead from Wikipedia...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-hole
Pi-hole is a Linux network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application which acts as a DNS sinkhole and optionally a DHCP server, intended for use on a private network.

It is designed for low-power embedded devices with network capability, such as the Raspberry Pi, but can be installed on almost any Linux machine.

Pi-hole has the ability to block traditional website advertisements as well as advertisements in unconventional places, such as smart TVs and mobile operating system advertisements.

Are you tired of seeing advertisements at home?
Do you have a raspberry pi lying around collecting dust?
This base talk will give an overview of the pi-hole project, how to install it (bare metal, or via docker), and how to use the project to block ads on your whole home network.
