magespawngood and you Kilos?10:04
magespawnhey stickyboy 10:04
Kilosgood ty10:04
magespawni am running on centos here, so it is tacking a little while to get to used the differences10:05
magespawns/tacking/taking10:06
stickyboymagespawn: CentOS on desktop? :P10:10
magespawnyes10:10
magespawnmy asterisk servers run on Centos as headless servers10:11
stickyboymagespawn: I'm all about CentOS.10:12
stickyboyBut only in specific places.10:12
stickyboyOur compute / storage cluster runs it. ~10 machines.10:12
stickyboyBut web servers, where I need modern crypto, no way. :P10:12
stickyboyAnd desktop I'm on Arch Linux. :P10:13
magespawndoes centos no support strong crypto/10:13
magespawn?10:13
magespawns/no/not10:13
stickyboymagespawn: Well, it's hard to with old OpenSSL.10:13
magespawnthey only use the old one?10:14
stickyboyElliptic curve cryptography like Curve25519... and AEAD ciphers like ChaCha20-Poly1035.10:15
magespawnokay that went a little over my head10:15
Kiloshehe10:15
stickyboymagespawn: Depends, CentOS 6 uses OpenSSL from 2010.10:15
stickyboyCentOS 7 is ~1 year old so it's better, and current.10:15
Kilosexplain nicely stickyboy  10:15
stickyboyUbuntu 14.04 on the web server is recommended.10:16
stickyboyIt has modern OpenSSH and modern OpenSSL.10:16
stickyboyCentOS 6 is stable as hell, but doesn't support elliptic curve cryptography (only supports standard discrete log-based crypto).10:17
magespawni am using 6.6 on the laptop, i could not find 7 for i68610:17
stickyboymagespawn: You'll be fine.10:17
magespawnsorry i38610:17
magespawnindeed, but iformation is always good to know about10:18
magespawninformation10:18
magespawnbrain is ahead of the fingers today10:18
stickyboyBut if you are serving HTTPS etc you need to prioritize TLS ciphers which give forward secrecy.10:18
stickyboyDiffie-Hellman Ephemeral (DHE) cipher suites...10:18
magespawnthis is a very old laptop, so i might soon have to stop using it10:21
stickyboymagespawn: Hehe :P10:22
stickyboyThis Mac laptop is 1 year old. Such an amazing piece of hardware.10:23
magespawnnice, does it run better with the linux or the osx?10:27
stickyboymagespawn: Sadly, Mac OS X.10:32
stickyboyI fully intended on running Linux on it, but ugh.10:32
stickyboyIt's a mission.10:32
stickyboyAnd I manage 40 servers at work, the last thing I need is trouble with my personal laptop. It just needs to work. :\10:33
stickyboyAnyways, I installed the GNU userland (ls, cp, etc) and mostly just use the Terminal and the browser.10:33
stickyboyThe screen is beautiful and the battery lasts 10 hours. :\10:33
magespawnindeed, that is nice10:34
stickyboyhttp://www.ifosslr.org/ifosslr/article/view/66/12510:41
stickyboyTrying to figure out what constitutes "distribution" by the GPLv2.10:41
magespawnthat is a good question, but it might be an attempt to prevent vendor lockin, and to prevent undue benefit without passing on that benefit10:47
stickyboyYeah10:52
stickyboyI'm about to write a blog post accusing Safaricom, the largest company in Kenya, of violating the GPL.10:52
stickyboyThey sell at least one device which uses Android, and therefore runs Linux -- which is licensed under the GPLv2.10:52
stickyboyThe question is, they themselves are just re-branding this box sold to them by a South Korean company... so I dunno who is obligated to publish the code. Perhaps both of them.10:53
magespawni think both of them, or a least provide links to the code by who ever does modify it11:08
stickyboymagespawn: Indeed, it seems like both need to.11:39
Kilosai! over 4 hours no power14:00

Kilosim just waiting for summer16:44
Kilostoo cold to think16:44
inetproKilos: do you read the stuff on ubuntu planet?17:03
Kilosnope, is it all going to planet now?17:03
inetprouh17:03
Kilosoh the plasma 517:04
inetprohang on, how am I supposed to understand your answer?17:04
Kilosi see a plasma 5 aricle17:04
Kilosand a youtube thing17:05
inetproso clearly you do go to read http://planet.ubuntu.com/17:05
inetprowhy I'm asking is17:06
Kilosi just went there now man, i have it opened when opera opens but didnt hink to look for planet link today17:06
inetproif you go there often, it might be time for you to read with akregator17:06
Kilosoh my , whats that?17:07
inetproit's installed by default on kubuntu17:07
Kilosoh and what do i do then?17:07
inetproby default it has several feeds in there already17:08
Kilosai!17:08
inetproso in stead of going via opera, just check the counter at the bottom17:09
inetproand read articles as they come in17:09
inetprolike reading email17:09
Kiloscounter at the bottom of what?17:10
inetprohave you opened it yet?17:10
Kilosmust i open that agregator thing17:10
inetproyes17:10
Kilosnow its open but nothing so i spose i tick fetch all feeds17:11
inetproeish... I hope you still have a few MB left17:11
Kilosoh my the counter shows 26917:12
inetproyep, fetches stuff as soon as you open17:12
Kilossjoe17:13
Kilosshould i configure it first17:13
inetproshould not use too much data from here onwards, but you might want to disable some feeds that just become too much to read17:13
Kilosim not interested in peeps taliking about youtube vids17:14
inetproby default it will check for new info every 30 minutes, I think17:14
inetproKilos: the thing is, if you go to the planet website every so often, you might end up using more data17:15
Kilosoh17:16
inetproand with akregator you can easily skip those articles that you're not interested in17:16
Kilossounds good17:16
inetproon the left you will see All Feeds, KDE and Kubuntu17:17
Kilosyes17:17

captineevening all18:22
inetprowb captine18:22
Kiloshi captine  18:23
inetprostickyboy: that's an interesting link you gave us above18:23
inetprotricky stuff18:24
captinethnx18:26
captinebeen tough week18:26
Kiloswe saw you spent a week as a guet18:27
Kilosguest18:27
captineso.  does anyone have a nice script that, when i put a dvd in a headless server (14.04), the machine will dump the VOB's and convert them to mkv or something?18:27
captineKilos, think that was my tablet during loadshedding.  didnt shut the app down, so it kept reconnecting.18:27
Kilosaha18:27
captinei am trying to convert my dvd's to a format for plex media server18:28
captineLmight drop off soon.  need to flash router with new firmware...18:34
Private_Usersorry for going off topic people but does anybody bank with Standard Bank here?18:39
Private_UserI want to make an international transfer via internet banking but cannot see how to do it or if its even possible18:39
captineyou cannot make an international transfer in SA like that18:43
captineyou need to fill in a BOP form normally (for sending or receiving money)18:44
captineto declare what it is for etc...  real pain.18:44
MaNIyeah don't bank with standard, but highly doubt it, forex here is a real pain18:44
captinePrivate_User, are you sending money from SA? or to SA?18:44
Private_Userfrom SA18:49
Private_Userthat is not good MaNI, and I cannot even use my debit card to do online purchases so thought internet banking would be an alternative18:50
Private_Userfrom SA captine18:51
MaNIif its a small payment use paypal and save yourself the hassle, if its a big payment you'll have to go into a bank18:51
MaNIexpect to lose half a day of productivity18:51
Private_Userlol18:51
MaNIbe 1000% sure they get the SWIFT code etc. right, or three weeks later the money will come back and you will lose a bunch of it to fees for no reason18:51
Private_Useryeah I would like to use something like paypal but because I cannot use my debit card for online payments I am now stuck more especially if I cannot even do an EFT18:53
Private_Userat the bank when I went to check why they say it cannot be done so I asked for an alternate solution the oakie at the bank reckon I should go to FNB18:54
Private_Userlol18:54
Kiloshaha18:55
Private_Userthat is a stupid solution I must say18:55
Kiloseverything is a mess up everywhere18:55
MaNIyou should go credit card rather - have them set 0 limit if its the limit that concerns you18:55
MaNIcredit cards are simply better than debit cards :(18:56
MaNIhe isn't wrong by the way18:56
Private_Userlol18:57
MaNIyou probably should go to FNB :p18:57
Private_Userhmm... I was trying to avoid the credit card route but now wondering if as you say get one that has 0 limit and every time I want to use it I load funds onto it18:58
Private_UserI wonder if Standard Bank has such an option18:58
captinemost of them dont like doing that18:59
captineI have tried18:59
MaNIFNB did it for me back in the day, but that was quite long ago... and yeah obviously they don't like it :p19:00
MaNIanyway your other option is just get one with a low limit, refuse any limit increases and control yourself, credit cards are insured against fraud at least19:00
Private_Useryeah its an option but with my credit history and not having a regular income that's going to be a mission and a half to get one19:03
Private_Userlol19:03
MaNIheh :(19:04
MaNIor go to FNB and then you can use paypal :p19:04
MaNIor does paypal need a CC as well, I actually don't know, hmm19:05
Private_Userthat is why I tried another 3rd party site Skrill cause as far as cost and fees go they seemed to be cheap compared to most but in order for me to upload funds to my account I need to transfer money but alas not able to do international transfer via my internet banking :(19:06
MaNIbitcoin. lol19:07
inetproor give your money to a friend who is willing to handle the order for you19:08
Kilosnight all. sleep tight19:14
