charlMaaz: danke07:21
MaazBitteschön07:21
charlwhy the heck does ubuntu server have ntpd running by default08:48
charlsounds like ddos-bait to me08:48
ThatGraemeGuywell that depends on whether the default config leaves it vulnerable to being used in amplification attacks09:07
charlThatGraemeGuy: yeah i haven't gone and tested it thoroughly but it just sounds bad having something like that listening on any port by default09:12
charli actually expect that by default there would be no ports open on any external interface whatsoever09:12
charlstrictly localhost only09:12
ThatGraemeGuyyes that's what i meant09:12
ThatGraemeGuyjust used less words :P09:12

inetprogood mornings guys 10:39
Kiloswb inetpro  10:39
inetproKilos: hi, what time did I go offline? 10:40
Kilosya remmina is a remote desktop client, is that what you need10:40
Kilos08.36 inetpro  10:40
KilosalphaG  you gonna have to download it and dependancies when you get online10:43

charlfor work, of course :)11:40
charli don't run any windows servers privately11:40
Kilosai! charl  hes gone already11:41
charlhe used to "adhoc" his laptop to his desktop11:43
charlgood way of formulating the problem :)11:43
Kiloswell when he pops in again please help him, im out of my depth with that kind of stuff11:44
charlok11:44
charlif i'm around :)11:45
Kilosill ping you11:45
Kilosits bad me trying to help peeps that know more than i do11:45
inetprosuperfly: interesting link above, hope I never need to go that far :-)12:12
charllol inetpro 12:16
charlsaw this link earlier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXV-yaFmQNk12:16
superflyinetpro: we've implemented a "no devices at the dinner table" rule... both the Mrs and I are guilty12:21
Kiloshaha12:21
inetproeish! :-)12:21
inetprogood rule but useless if you don't stick to it yourself :-)12:22
superflyinetpro: it was for us, not for the kids (they're not really old enough yet)12:23
inetprothey grow up quicker than you think, setting the example is key12:24
inetprothe dinner table is the best place for healthy conversation12:25
Kilossjoe12:26
Trixar_zaHey, it works12:27
Trixar_zaKilos: I found a way to minimize fall damage down 'quick tunnels'12:27
Trixar_zaSince it's only one block thick, you can put torches in there, then have three blocks worth of water on top of the torch - it holds the water in place12:28
Kiloslol12:28
inetproyikes! He also playing the game?12:28
Kilosits very addictive12:29
Trixar_zaAs you fall, you fall through the water layers and it slows you down. Then you just have a four block water tunnel at the bottom and whamo - instant way down with zero damage. Ok, I did get damage, but only half a heart :P12:29
Kilosive already used 69mB data today fighting lava12:29
inetprodon't tell; me about addictive... hate to admit that even I started playing12:29
inetproTrixar_za: join #minetest-za12:30
Trixar_zaYeah, I play, but more on my local server - it's way too heavy over an external one - my connection can't keep up13:04

magespawnhey Kilos14:19
Kiloshi magespawn  14:19
magespawnmy xchat seems broken14:20
magespawndoes not get past ident checking14:23
ThatGraemeGuyisn't xchat abandoned?14:23
ThatGraemeGuyreplaced with hexchat IIRC14:23
inetprothere used to be two versions of xchat as well, one of them was no good14:25
Kilosuse hexchat magespawn  14:25
Kilosthey have stopped suppost as far as i know14:26
inetproai!14:26
Kilosor install konveration14:26
inetprokonversation14:26
Kiloswat ai! jy nou weer inetpro  14:26
Kilosya that14:27
inetprowhat kind of support do you need?14:27
Kilosxchat used to be lekker man then on 14.04 it didnt work14:27
inetproguess the developers lost interest and no longer upgraded together with ubuntu?14:28
inetproor linux as a whole14:28
inetproI mean even the kernel is growing all the time14:28
magespawnokay ty14:29
Kilostell me how do you make konversation show highlighted lines in old logs14:29
inetpronew kernel, new testing and potential updates needed14:29
Kilosthats where hexchat is far better14:30
Kilosnot logs actually but scroll backs 14:30
inetproKilos: CTrl+R ?14:31
Kiloslemme see14:32
magespawnthere we go14:32
Kilosnope scroll backs are all kinda grey14:32
inetprooh no, I misread.... thought you were talking about that line14:33
magespawnbrb14:33
=== magespawn_ is now known as magespawn
Kilosno if i have to restart konversation for some reason everything said before loses the highlighting14:34
inetproI see there's still xchat and then there's xchat-gnome14:34
Kilosxchat-gnome always sucked14:34
inetprolatest news for xchat is 28-Aug-201014:35
Kilosya they gave up and went to make money from windows peeps i think14:35
inetproyep, that gnome vs unity war probably all part of the problem14:35
Kilosi really liked xchat14:35
Kilosi havent been to unity for going on 2 weeks now14:36
inetproKDE is still the best for consistency14:36
Kilosyou finally got your way14:36
inetprobut then, who wants to keep using irc when there's facebook, whatsapp and all the others?14:38
Kiloseish14:40
Kiloswe do man14:40
Kilosthe lug peeps seem to like G+14:41
Kilosnuvolari  ping14:42
* nuvolari poing14:44
inetpromore and more communication is happening in isolation14:45
inetprosad reality14:45
charlgood afternoon14:45
inetprohi charl14:45
Kilosgaan jy en una in convoy af kaap to seun14:45
charlstrange that lug people would like g+ i would have expected the opposite14:45
charlhi inetpro :)14:45
charlsame goes for facebook and whatsapp14:46
Kilosthe whole of durbs lug are on g+ and only one comes here14:46
charlvery strange14:46
charlgoes completely against expectation :D14:46
Kilosand g+ uses daya i can rather use on gaming hehe14:47
Kilosdata14:47
Kilosinetpro  put on the thinking cap14:48
Kilosthe one that works14:48
Kilosand figure how we gonna trim data usage14:48
Kilosdont say stay offline14:48
charldon't trim data usage, get better internet !14:49
charlif they keep stealing the cables get good wifi14:49
charllong-distance14:49
charlthen you can play lots of games and download video off the internet, i don't even have a tv in europe14:49
charliptv is really standard here14:49
inetproKilos: haha no worries, I still maintain that irc is still the most efficient and effective tool for collaborating in a distributed team of like-minded individuals14:52
Kilosai! i think the stupid hdmi stole my sound again and dunno where i found it and made it go back to analog goodie15:08
Kiloswbb searching for sound15:13
magespawnbbl cheers all15:15
Kiloshi Vince-0 wbb15:45
Kilosgrrrrr15:49
Kiloscharl  ive looked at wifi and found that we are over 50 metres below the nearest wifi spot with a hill in between as well. cant afford that kind of tower16:26
Kilosnearest place was about 15 ks away i think16:26
Kilosi even bought a wifi card for the pc and built a wifi yagi but before i surveyed the terrain between us and the hotspot thing16:28
inetproai! 16:29
Kilosmy internet connection is good but expensive if you want to game online16:29
inetprokilos and his wifi mission again? 16:29
Kiloshaha no i gave up and gave wifi stuff to ian16:30
inetprowug is not wifi, but let me not start that debate all over again 16:31
Kiloswhere you see wug?16:31
Kilosthe wug peeps want too much for their kit16:32
Kilosand also will need a tall mast16:32
inetproai16:34
inetproKilos: have you tried speedometer?17:00
inetproaptitude install speedometer17:02
inetproto measure and display the rate of data across a network connection 17:03
inetproto start monitoring do: 17:04
inetprospeedometer -r wlan0 -t wlan017:04
inetpror = RX = receive17:05
inetprot = TX = transmit17:05
inetprowlan0 is my interface, yours is probably ppp017:05
charli don't know spedometer but i ususally use bwm-ng17:07
charlgreat terminal-based tool17:07
charlafaik wug's do mostly make use of 802.11-something meaning it is technically wifi17:08
charlbut not the type of wifi most people understand, as in a local wireless internet connection17:08
charland besides, most wugs don't directly provide internet access in any case, in principle it's a closed network17:08
Kilosinetpro  mineis wwan on the telkom modem no more ppp017:18
Kilosand i see rec and tx on iftop17:18
Kilosi dont want to see how fast data is disappearing i want to slow it down17:19
Kiloswwan017:20
Kiloswhatever that might be17:20
inetproKilos: you can see the usage in a nice graph to see see exactly what is causing data to flow 17:44
Kilosoh lemme try that then17:44
inetproa text based graph17:44
inetprobut essentially the same as the network widget on KDE17:45
Kiloswhat network widget17:47
inetpronot precisely exactly but it could give you more of an idea 17:47
inetproKilos: network monitor17:47
Kilosoh17:48
Kiloshere is my command17:48
Kilosspeedometer -r wwan0 -t wwan0\17:48
Kilosno \17:48
Kilosinetpro  tom,jerry, erik agesin order?17:50
Kilossjoe no spaces     it works still17:50
inetproai! 17:50
Kiloswhat ai!17:51
inetprosounds like you want to say something about tom, dick and harry? :-)17:53
Kiloswell disney made them when17:53
Kilos60, 17:54
magespawngood evning18:06
Kiloshi magespawn  18:07
magespawni really need to update my calenders, i still have the meeting as Monday night18:10
inetpromagespawn: Tuesday next week anyway18:10
magespawnso i see from the channel message18:11
magespawnso way ahead of time 18:11
inetproyou're still welcome as always :-)18:12
magespawnwell, thank you kind sir18:30
Kiloslol18:31
magespawnso if i am trying to set up a vpn, i presume that it would make sense to have the vpn server hosted rather than on my adsl?18:40
Kilossjoe you need to be patient magespawn  replies have got very slow here18:43
Kiloscharl  help here18:43
magespawnno worries Kilos 18:43
charlhi Kilos 18:43
charlhi magespawn 18:43
magespawni am also busy reading the documentation 18:43
magespawnhi charl18:43
Kiloscharl  can you help magespawn  18:44
charllooking18:44
charlmagespawn what exactly do you want to achieve with this vpn18:44
charlyou can of course have a vpn hosted on your dsl if you want18:44
charlyou will need either a static ip or dynamic dns to host anything though18:45
magespawni want to have access to resources inside the private network from else where, the boss wants to watch the video cameras on the property specifically, but it will also help if i can use it to look after the pc and networks18:45
magespawni have dynamic dns setup but the one isp we use as a back up seems to block most of the traffic18:46
charlok so you want to run the vpn server on your corporate network18:46
charland you want to connect to it remotely18:46
magespawnyup18:46
charldo you have a business dsl account ?18:46
magespawni have 5 locations that i want to access18:47
magespawnyes18:47
magespawnuncapped unshaped18:47
charlbecause this is a regular business service (vpn) so get in touch with the isp and ask them to unblock it18:47
charlblocking vpn on a business account is plain retard18:47
magespawnexcept for the one property that is currently on the back radio link till the new adsl is installed in hluhluwe town18:48
magespawni have remote access through dyn dns on all the properties except that one when it is on the back up link18:48
charleasiest is to run one vpn server per locatino18:49
charllocation18:49
charlbut of course you can also try to link all the locations together in one big virtual network using vpns18:49
charlthat is a bit more tricky and you have to understand routing18:49
charlbut then you are all on one big network across the various locations which makes doing things super simple18:49
magespawnthat is what i thought would work best, there are cameras at every property the boss likes to watch18:50
charlyeah18:50
charlwell make sure you understand subnetting and routing very well18:50
magespawnso then the vpn server would be best hosted, right?18:50
charlbecause you are operating on layer 3 here and not all protocols (especially microsoft crap) works perfect through layer 3 devices18:50
charllike netbios etc18:51
magespawnwell no time like the present to learn18:51
charlbut if you are operating on IP only then you shouldn't have any problems18:51
charlmake sure you run different ip ranges on each site18:51
charlthat is critical18:51
magespawni would also like to tie all the asterisk servers together at some point, so all calls are internal18:52
charlyou know tap/tun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUN/TAP18:52
magespawncharl that should not be too much of a problem, just have to be careful and methodical18:52
charlyou don't even need openvpn you can use openssh if you want18:53
charlhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VPN_over_SSH18:53
charlif your gateway devices are all running linux you can simply let them ssh to each other in a star configuration18:54
charland then channel the traffic over tap/tun+ssh18:54
charlthen you end up with a highly secure and efficient situation18:54
charlyou might find you even get some compression through ssh18:55
magespawni like the sound of that18:55
charlyou should even have perfect ipv6 support then18:55
charlcause openvpn's ipv6 support is shaky18:55
charli should say18:55
charllast i used it, but that was some years ago18:55
magespawnLots more reading to do 18:55
charlopenssh has absolutely no problem with ipv6 though18:56
charli'm off ttyl18:56
magespawnlater18:58
Kiloslater then magespawn  19:02
magespawnKilos i was talking to charl19:03
