gwoodwhat does everyone think of this:06:58
gwoodhttps://www.fsf.org/news/gluglug-x60-laptop-now-certified-to-respect-your-freedom06:58
Kiloshi gwood thats a good sign07:02
Kiloslooks promising for the future07:02
Kilosits a start anyway07:02
Kilosbut its for women only07:04
KilosProprietary software is by nature fundamentally insecure, because it uses both force of law and technological measures to prohibit a user from controlling and securing her own computer.07:04
Kiloshehe07:04
Kiloshi Vince-0 07:10
gwoodyes, the direction Windows 8 is taking is what scared me into switching completely to GNU/Linux as my only OS on my laptop07:16
gwoodi've even switched from the stock Google Android, to instead use Cyanogenmod, because of all the privacy issues i was finding with Googles version Android07:17
Vince-0Hi!07:18
gwoodCyanogenmod is really cool, i got quite a performance boost for my phone and the advanced privacy features are features google would never provide07:19
Kiloscool07:23
KilosThatGraemeGuy: you use kde hey?07:26
ThatGraemeGuyyup07:26
Kiloswhen you hover mouse over something and the popup tells you what it is07:26
Kiloswhat do you call that popup07:26
Kilosi need to try change its text from white onna white background07:27
Kilosso just want to know what to google for07:27
Kilosoh white on light grey background07:28
Kiloseye cant see text07:29
Kilosi caused it by upgrading 12.04 to kde 4.10 and it is lekker except for that and white clock07:33
Kilosim naughty i know07:33
charlgood morning\08:28
charlMaaz_: coffee on08:35
* Maaz_ starts grinding coffee08:35
Kiloshi charl 08:39
Maaz_Coffee's ready for charl!08:39
liamTmorning people08:42
charlMaaz_: thanks08:44
Maaz_charl: Okay :-)08:44
charlliamT: hi08:44
liamTanyone good at figuring out ssh errors - I reduced the MaxAuthTries to 2 on the server, an have no PasswdAuth, so of course I get "too many authentication failures" when trying to ssh in08:46
Kilosohi liamT 08:47
Kiloseish08:47
liamTyes, eish08:47
Kilosdid you lose the password?08:48
Kilosforget08:48
liamTdisabled password logins, so it doesn't ask for it08:48
liamTyes yes, silly me, i lock myself out quite regularly08:48
Kiloslol08:48
liamTbut I don't have terminal access to the server, and everyone is one leave08:49
Kilosif the password is disabled why is it doing that08:49
Kilosbetter to have a password in that case, but dont forget it08:49
Kilosif you try ssh to it from another terminal does it still show 2 fails08:50
liamTi'm using ssh keys to login, no password - it offers the keys in no intelligent order, so can quickly exceed the maximum limit if you have lots of them08:50
Kiloseeek08:51
Kiloshow did you get in before to set it up?08:52
Kiloswb Tonberry08:52
liamTwell, the MaxAuthTries was much higher08:52
liamTi guess I'll have to keep fiddling08:52
Kiloswhere is the server08:53
Kiloslocal?08:53
liamTremote08:53
Kilosai!08:53
liamTI have no physical access to it08:53
liamTblerry eejit08:53
Kilosi dont understand though how you can exceed maxtries if the pw is disabled08:54
Kilosdid you try just hitting enter with no password08:55
Kiloshehe08:55
liamTif one ssh key doesn't work, MaxTries goes up one08:55
liamTgah, no stress, I'll just have to wait till Jan08:56
Kilosok now maxtries is that from one pc only08:56
Kilossomeone must know how to get around it08:56
Kilosmaybe someone else put a password on it08:57
Kilosfone them08:57
Kilosnot safe to have a remote server with passwd disabled anyway08:58
liamTit was only me with access, i would think it safer to have no password, and use a ssh key rather08:58
liamTunless you lock yourself out of course08:59
SquirmliamT: I would have thought that by using an ssh key, you would bypass the whole password authentication08:59
Squirmit shouldn't even give you the option to enter a password08:59
liamTthat's correct, there is no option to enter a password09:03
liamTbut still, if you offer incorrect keys more than the limit the account is locked for a certain period09:04
Kilosoo yay got my hover text black on light gray09:18
Kiloshad to change from oxygen to desktop application goody09:19
Kiloshi psyatw 09:20
psyatwhi Kilos09:20

psyatw10 seconds to respond is not bad09:21
Kiloslol09:21

ThatGraemeGuyKilos: sorry.... you still struggling with that colour scheme issue?09:23

Kilosfound a link for pclinux but it worked here so yay09:25
Symmetriahttp://www.amazon.com/Zenith-96-0529-4035-Tourbillon-Titanium-Chronograph/dp/B001K3IXW8/09:41
Symmetriawtf look at the price on that09:41
ThatGraemeGuyman 46% off they're practically giving it away! :-D09:46
ThatGraemeGuyyou'd think at that price they could waive the $9.95 shipping charge09:46
SquirmSymmetria: when is the ETA?09:53
Kilossjoe12:46
kbmonkeyhello14:12
Kiloshi kbmonkey 14:29
Kiloshowsit there?14:30
kbmonkeygoet Kilos - guten tag!14:30
Kiloshehe14:30
Kiloszehr gut or sehr gut one of them14:31
Kilosinetpro: which one?14:31
charlgot pidgin working nicely with microsoft lync server 2013 using sipe http://sipe.sourceforge.net/15:22
charlmessaging and presence working perfectly15:22
charlno voip though15:23
Kiloscharl: what are you doing?15:25
charlKilos: connecting to a corporate instant messaging platform15:58
Kilosoh from your pc with pidgin-sipe15:59
Kilospidgin is a wonderful app16:00
kbmonkeyno rain today Kilos ?16:00
Kilosonly i havent tried otr in a group because i think it works pc to pc like dcc here16:00
Kilosmaybe late tonight kbmonkey 16:00
* Kilos gots a lekker kde 4.10 running here on 12.0416:02
charlotr is person to person i think16:02
Kilosya same as dcc16:02
charlbut you can also use it with mobile clients like chatsecure16:02
Kilosthe pcs sync to each other16:03
charlno otr i think still sends all the traffic through the server16:03
charlbut it's encrypted end to end16:03
Kilosya but scrambled16:03
charldcc sends data in plaintext but directly between the end nodes16:04
Kilosthe scrambling works pc to pc through the server16:04
charlyou could say that, in the case of otr16:04
Kilosi spose the owners of that server might be able to unscramble it16:05
charlthey shouldn't be able to16:05
kbmonkeythat depends if they use symmetric or asymmetric 16:05
charlbecause if that is the case the encryption is too weak16:05
Kilosiirc the pcs scramble to each other so will be hard to crack16:06
* kbmonkey does not trust IM over 3rd parties16:06
* kbmonkey dons a tinfoil hat16:06
Kilosi reckon pidgin otr is as safe as it gets kbmonkey 16:06
kbmonkeyotr?16:07
charlkbmonkey: no even if you use symmetric encryption, if you keep the keys safe, a man in the middle attack is useless16:07
Kilosoff the record16:07
kbmonkeyby symmetric I mean if they own the passphrase16:07
kbmonkeyoh lol, no off the record does not mean secure ;P16:07
charlthe idea behind end to end is that they don't\16:08
kbmonkeyit just doesn't record to chat history16:08
charlotherwise there is no point16:08
Kilosxchat has otr as well but hard to setup16:08
kbmonkeyah got ya charl !16:08
charlhttp://wiki.xmpp.org/web/OTR16:09
charl"Off-the-Record Messaging, commonly referred to as OTR, is a cryptographic protocol that provides strong encryption for instant messaging conversations. OTR uses a combination of the AES symmetric-key algorithm, the Diffie?Hellman key exchange, and the SHA-1 hash function. In addition to authentication and encryption, OTR provides perfect forward secrecy and malleable encryption. "16:09
Kilossee they clever16:09
kbmonkeynever knew they had that, thanks charl !16:10
Kiloson irc dcc is easier16:11
Kilospidgin has the otr setup worked out much better16:12
charli have six ciphers on my own xmpp server that are comparable https://xmpp.net/result.php?domain=charl.eu&type=client16:12
charlbut that's for tls, not end to end16:12
Kilostls?16:13
charlthat's for c2s not e2e to use the acronyms :)16:13
charland for s2s16:13
Kilosdid you see charl i can even see smileys in konversation16:14
Kilosim getting more and more into kde16:14
charltelepathy is also very good16:14
Kilosso the unity peeps better make a good 14.04 otherwise i go kde full time16:15
charli like being able to see linked images inline16:15
kbmonkeycharl, check this out, also very interesting! http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tromer/acoustic/16:15
charli have completely lost all interest in unity16:15
Kilosand konversation can underline with ctrl+r if you want to go afk and dont want to scroll back until you recognise something said16:16
Kilos12.04 unity is good16:16
charlkbmonkey: very cool16:16
