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