[01:39] <philipballew_> bkerensa, your bike light article was interesting.
[01:39] <philipballew_> I think im gonna comment about stoplights on it.
[01:44] <pleia2> philipballew_: thank you!
[01:50] <philipballew_> pleia2, I do what I can :)
[16:35] <philipballew_> pleia2, i dont have any channel ops here so I cant ever update the meeting times correct?
[22:12] <philipballew_> pleia2, Can I ask you a quick networking question?
[22:14] <pleia2> philipballew_: gave philipballew ops here so you can /msg chanserv topic
[22:14] <pleia2> and sure
[22:14] <philipballew_> alright, I will change the topic soon
[22:15] <philipballew_> would uninstalling network manager in xubuntu and setting up a static ip the normal way cause any problems
[22:15] <pleia2> "it should be fine"
[22:15] <philipballew_> I have the root account enabled and just a regular non sudo  account for everything else
[22:15] <philipballew_> All im setting up my laptop here to do it run a firefox browser
[22:16] <pleia2> removing any defaults can cause weirdness (especially on upgrade if it wants to reinstall it randomly), but generally I haven't had problems really
[22:16] <philipballew_> okay. and having the root acount is fine that way?
[22:16] <pleia2> ubuntu isn't built around a security model where the root account is enabled, so it's always going to be risky
[22:17] <pleia2> might want to disable login via root in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf
[22:17] <pleia2> er, /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[22:17] <pleia2> PermitRootLogin No
[22:17] <philipballew_> ssh isnt installed. So I think that would be okay
[22:17] <pleia2> oh ok :)
[22:18] <philipballew_> I was gonna install debian, but I decided I wanted actual firefox
[22:18] <pleia2> hah
[22:18] <philipballew_> call me crazy :)
[22:23] <Darkwing> Youa re crazy
[22:25]  * Darkwing rubs eyes
[22:29]  * philipballew_ doesnt try, it comes naturally
[22:30] <dragon> It's an innate skill.
[22:32] <Darkwing> hehehe
