[13:18] <mgariepy> good morning everyone
[15:10] <highvoltage> good mornign
[15:10]  * highvoltage seriously needs to put in some edubuntu time
[18:40] <vmlintu> good evening
[18:43] <highvoltage> good evening vmlintu
[18:43] <vmlintu> the weather has been too nice lately to stay indoors..
[18:45] <highvoltage> I don't really have that problem. We went from way too cold to hot and humid very fast. so indoors is still nice :)
[18:49] <vmlintu> heh.. never good.. ;)
[18:49] <vmlintu> you mentioned that you had heard/seen someone syncing the ltsp nbd image to local media.. do you remember anything else about it?
[18:55] <highvoltage> nope. but now that you mention it, it would be kind of nice to have a tool like usb-creator-gtk that could write a thin client image to usb
[18:56] <highvoltage> (if someone wanted to boot from local media instead)
[18:56] <vmlintu> doing that shouldn't be too hard actually, now that I think of it
[18:57] <vmlintu> automatic updating of it sounds a bit trickier, though..
[19:00] <highvoltage> yeah. I guess you could have a public key on the usb disks and then you could rsync that from a server somewhere based on an identifyer on the disk
[19:00] <highvoltage> that way you don't risk accidentally trashing a filesystem and you have something that can't be as easily abused
[19:03] <vmlintu> what the public key would be used for?
[19:07] <vmlintu> One would need to make sure also that the usb media is not mounted to the server after user logs in
[19:21] <highvoltage> so that some sync server could rsync to the disks but no one else
[19:21] <highvoltage> (well at least not remotely)
