| TinuvaMac | http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/08/op-ed-how-i-gave-up-alternating-current/ | 08:50 |
| TinuvaMac | crazy dude that is | 08:50 |
| Kilos | hi TinuvaMac | 08:50 |
| TinuvaMac | morning Kilos | 08:51 |
| MaNI | looks like he went full derp | 09:39 |
| TinuvaMac | indeed | 09:39 |
| superfly | the thing about alternating current is this: the only reason to use it is because it travels further. internally, all your appliances use DC | 10:12 |
| MaNI | even that isn't really true | 11:14 |
| MaNI | see e.g. cahora-basa powerline | 11:15 |
| MaNI | anyway I'm all for using DC power where possible - it's some of the other stuff he has done that is crazy like the food thing :p | 11:15 |
| TinuvaMac | yeah i dont think i'd be able to eat slush every day | 11:16 |
| Kilos | hmm... loadshedding huh! | 11:19 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | nope | 11:20 |
| MaNI | also the clothes thing | 11:40 |
| Kilos | ai! | 11:43 |
| magespawn | good afternoon | 12:42 |
| mazal | Bye for now everyone | 12:44 |
| superfly | Our phone line is so stuffed. | 16:38 |
| Kilos- | eish | 16:39 |
| superfly | Earlier today it rang, my wife picked it up, there were two ladies on the other side taking to each other, and they apparently couldn't hear her. | 16:39 |
| Kilos- | wow | 16:39 |
| Kilos- | i thought that stopped happening with nommer asb | 16:40 |
| Kilos- | the old manual switchboards | 16:40 |
| superfly | I don't know. As you can imagine, our ADSL is stuffed up. | 16:41 |
| superfly | Connects for 10 minutes, then disconnects, then it connects but is slow | 16:42 |
| superfly | Etc | 16:42 |
| Kilos- | very bad the need to do lotsa work ther | 16:51 |
| Kilos- | or when kabels were stolen they connected new ones up wrong | 16:55 |
| Kilos- | supper | 17:01 |
| magespawn | good evening | 18:01 |
| Kilos- | hi magespawn | 18:01 |
| magespawn | hi Kilos- nice tail | 18:03 |
| Kilos- | uh oh | 18:04 |
| Kilos- | i forgot | 18:04 |
| Kilos- | im on lappy | 18:04 |
| === Kilos- is now known as Kilos | ||
| Kilos | sitting on bed is much warmer | 18:05 |
| magespawn | yes indeed | 18:05 |
| magespawn | so whats up Kilos ? | 18:16 |
| Kilos | working with pro to make him loadshedding free for meetings | 18:24 |
| === MaN1 is now known as MaNI | ||
| magespawn | nice, jubane pretroleum does battries, going to investigate in the morning | 18:30 |
| Kilos | keep peeps informed on prices | 18:31 |
| magespawn | will do | 18:31 |
| magespawn | they also do complete systems, setup and installed | 18:32 |
| magespawn | but that will probable be rather pricey | 18:32 |
| magespawn | s/probable/probably | 18:34 |
| gremble | Evening | 18:44 |
| magespawn | hi gremble | 18:48 |
| gremble | Does anyone here know how to get a mailing list up and running? | 18:49 |
| gremble | Hey magespawn | 18:49 |
| magespawn | you need a server and software, i think the software is open source, check out mailing list site | 18:50 |
| magespawn | Kilos: where is our mailing list site? | 18:50 |
| gremble | Mailman seems like the go-to software. But I don't think I am going to go through that. I found google groups give a similar service | 18:51 |
| gremble | I am going to try that out and see how it works | 18:51 |
| gremble | I want to get the TuksLUG back up | 18:51 |
| gremble | Seeing as I got hassled for not doing anything ;) :P | 18:51 |
| magespawn | i think the dlug does something on google groups | 18:51 |
| magespawn | good idea either | 18:51 |
| magespawn | way | 18:51 |
| gremble | Since tuks is an academic institution, do you think I can say something like "TLUG is for the support and promotion of libre software and the GNU/Linux eco-system in an academic environment"? | 18:55 |
| magespawn | that is a bit limiting isn't it? \ | 19:01 |
| magespawn | why only an academic environment? | 19:02 |
| gremble | Because there is like a million others, and it is not limited to academia. Just more specific I would say. A niche | 19:03 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 19:10 |
| Kilos | hi gremble | 19:11 |
| gremble | Hey Kilos | 19:11 |
| Kilos | im reading back log | 19:11 |
| gremble | I thought you left. Everytime I was here during the weekend, you seemed to be gone :P | 19:12 |
| Kilos | magespawn its on our site | 19:12 |
| Kilos | lists.ubuntu.com and somewhere in there is a za bit | 19:12 |
| Kilos | https://ubuntu-za.org | 19:12 |
| Kilos | in there when you go join you will find it | 19:13 |
| Kilos | i dont have emails here on lappy | 19:13 |
| gremble | well, https://groups.google.com/d/forum/tuks-linux-user-group There. It exists now. I'll figure out a better description and see how I can get people to join up. I'll do a domain sometime in the future. | 19:16 |
| Kilos | ubuntu-za@lists.ubuntu.com | 19:17 |
| superfly | gremble: most shared hosting packages already have mailman set up | 19:17 |
| superfly | gremble: ping SubOracle | 19:17 |
| gremble | Ah I am not going to pay for shared hosting. I mean, I would if I could. I almost bought a domain over the weekend. But I cannot afford it at present | 19:18 |
| superfly | gremble: you can't afford R20 a month? | 19:19 |
| gremble | Nope. Not at the moment. | 19:20 |
| gremble | I'm at R10 petrol intervals XD | 19:20 |
| gremble | Hey kulelu88 | 19:21 |
| kulelu88 | hey folks. who is good with SSH here? | 19:21 |
| kulelu88 | ola gremble-ino | 19:21 |
| Kilos | who is good with lappies here | 19:23 |
| Kilos | hatefull things | 19:23 |
| gremble | What seems to be the matter Kilos ? | 19:23 |
| Kilos | metimes it swops words around | 19:24 |
| Kilos | tara says im bumping the touchpad while typing | 19:24 |
| kulelu88 | who is tara? | 19:24 |
| Kilos | my daughter | 19:25 |
| kulelu88 | place your hands away from the touchpad when typing | 19:25 |
| Kilos | can i disable the touchpad thing somewhere | 19:25 |
| gremble | Yes you can | 19:25 |
| octoquad | Kilos, hi. There is normally an option in keyboard settings to disable the touchpad when typing | 19:25 |
| gremble | The touchpad is controlled by synaptic drivers | 19:26 |
| Kilos | i think i might be jackets | 19:26 |
| Kilos | oh yay ty octoquad | 19:26 |
| Kilos | drives me nuts | 19:26 |
| octoquad | Are you using GNOME or KDE? | 19:26 |
| Kilos | kde | 19:27 |
| octoquad | ah, I don't know where that setting is, but I'm sure it will be in the same place :) | 19:27 |
| octoquad | somewhere | 19:27 |
| octoquad | and hopefully works | 19:28 |
| octoquad | lol | 19:28 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:28 |
| Kilos | terrible things laptops | 19:28 |
| Kilos | but closer to bed so good for winter | 19:28 |
| gremble | https://askubuntu.com/questions/530937 | 19:28 |
| gremble | There seems to be an answer | 19:28 |
| gremble | I don't know if that would apply to you | 19:28 |
| kulelu88 | what does your daughter do for a living? Kilos | 19:29 |
| Kilos | sings and draws | 19:29 |
| Kilos | does anima art for peeps | 19:30 |
| Kilos | anime | 19:30 |
| kulelu88 | was she on x-factor? haha | 19:30 |
| Kilos | yes | 19:31 |
| magespawn | kulelu88: i am relatively good with ssh | 19:32 |
| kulelu88 | darn, Kilos is the dad of a famous musician | 19:32 |
| kulelu88 | magespawn: can you explain the security flaws people are mentioning here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10004678 | 19:32 |
| Kilos | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zartVqbOY-Y | 19:32 |
| kulelu88 | I don't even have a config in my ssh folder | 19:33 |
| Kilos | kulelu88 darn, Kilos is the dad of a famous musician ?? | 19:35 |
| Kilos | i sing in the shower | 19:35 |
| kulelu88 | did my sentence not make sense? Kilos | 19:36 |
| gremble | I once sang in the shower. The water stopped until I did | 19:36 |
| Kilos | kulelu88 nope | 19:36 |
| Kilos | haha gremble | 19:36 |
| kulelu88 | I was shocked to find out Kilos "darn!!! I didn't know Kilos daughter went on x-factor!!!" | 19:37 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:37 |
| Kilos | that was years ago now | 19:38 |
| magespawn | kulelu88: i am going to take my time to read through all of that | 19:38 |
| kulelu88 | shocking right magespawn . i need to also assign special keys for each service I SSH into | 19:39 |
| magespawn | i thought the idea behind ssh was to have a different key for each server | 19:41 |
| kulelu88 | if you're using that 1 public key, it is the same key for each server | 19:41 |
| magespawn | the public key needs to be known anyway, or else how to people authenticate who it is? | 19:43 |
| magespawn | The authenticity of host 'whoami.filippo.io (178.32.139.168)' can't be established. | 19:43 |
| magespawn | RSA key fingerprint is c8:9a:b0:9d:59:96:24:37:70:4c:ef:eb:31:47:68:40. | 19:43 |
| magespawn | Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? | 19:43 |
| kulelu88 | he is basically using githubs public keys to find out who you are | 19:43 |
| magespawn | see this, i think means, they do not have a signed certificate, so you would be a nuts to connect anyway | 19:44 |
| magespawn | because the publc key is linked to an account? | 19:44 |
| mazal | Night everyone , sleep well | 19:44 |
| magespawn | night mazal | 19:44 |
| gremble | that "authenticity of host" think you get when you connect to github too (the only thing I use SSH for currently) | 19:45 |
| magespawn | i thought for ssh to work securely, at the host authentication stage, you would need a certificate of some sort | 19:47 |
| magespawn | well it did not show any of my public keys and i have several | 19:49 |
| kulelu88 | most hosts will give you that error message | 19:50 |
| magespawn | you could manually add them to the known hosts file first | 19:51 |
| magespawn | and the key fingerprint should show you that you are connecting to the same host after the first connection | 19:52 |
| inetpro | good evening | 20:08 |
| gremble | wassup dawg | 20:09 |
| MaNI | eve | 20:12 |
| Kilos | hi ma | 20:12 |
| Kilos | MaNI | 20:12 |
| gremble | kulelu88: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/tuks-linux-user-group I made it, finally haha | 20:13 |
| Kilos | octoquad kde has a function- disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in, ty | 20:13 |
| kulelu88 | how many members? gremble | 20:14 |
| gremble | Me. I just made it | 20:14 |
| gremble | hah | 20:14 |
| kulelu88 | well its a start ;) | 20:16 |
| inetpro | gremble: +1 | 20:17 |
| inetpro | not that I have anything to do with tuks :-) | 20:18 |
| kulelu88 | gremble: what is the primary linux OS that the COS department supports? | 20:19 |
| gremble | kulelu88: the labs run on Arch linux at the moment if I recall | 20:30 |
| gremble | It used to be debain | 20:30 |
| octoquad | np Kilos | 20:31 |
| kulelu88 | arch linux ... ... ... | 20:31 |
| Kilos | i ove kde | 20:32 |
| Kilos | but will take forever to learn all it is capable of doing | 20:33 |
| Kilos | maybe never learn it all | 20:33 |
| gremble | KDE is very customizable | 20:33 |
| kulelu88 | they used to be ubuntu users at COS | 20:34 |
| kulelu88 | I wouldn't be surprised if the lecturers use Win though | 20:34 |
| gremble | Same | 20:34 |
| Kilos | night all, sleep tight | 20:34 |
| gremble | Night kulelu88 | 20:35 |
| gremble | Kilos: | 20:35 |

| gremble | I'm going to hit the sack too | 20:35 |
| gremble | I should've gone to bed like 30min ago | 20:35 |
| magespawn | good night all | 20:45 |
