=== Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti
[10:24] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:34] <amunizp> Good morning
[10:35] <brobostigon> morning amunizp
[10:35] <amunizp> o/
[10:36] <amunizp> you wouldn't know about luks encryption brobostigon ?
[10:37] <brobostigon> no, sorry.
[13:26] <awilkins> Recommends for cheap US VPS ($1 a month type cheap) - only need basic box with 128MB RAM?
[13:51]  * penguin42 doesn't know anything that cheap
[13:52]  * penguin42 was going to ask for recommendations for domain registrars (.org)
[20:06] <foobarry> awilkins: lowendbox.com ?
[20:07] <diddledan> aah he's back? awilkins, I found scaleway the other day - their low-end cost for a dedi arm box is about €2.99 IIRC
[20:08] <diddledan> oh that's their VPS
[20:08] <diddledan> their dedi arm boxes are €11.99
[20:08] <diddledan> https://www.scaleway.com/
[20:08] <diddledan> the 2.99/mo VPS is 2core 2GB RAM and 50GB SSD
[20:09] <diddledan> that's x86_64-based rather than ARM
[20:12] <foobarry> why are some films on google play not for tental? e.g. interstellar
[20:12] <foobarry> buy only.
[20:13] <diddledan> tent!
[20:13] <diddledan> foobarry, because the hollywood studio licensing deals are poo
[20:15]  * penguin42 expects it's something like more recent/more successful ones
[20:35] <foobarry> does ebay do 2FA? an't find it
[20:44] <diddledan> I've got my GMail 2fa'd now, I need to get more accounts set-up to use it
[21:11] <daftykins> mmm i use that on my personal one, my new google apps one and my microsoft account
[21:11] <daftykins> if i log into my MS account the app on my phone comes up with the request ID and i can either approve or deny
[21:12] <diddledan> \o/
[22:53]  * brobostigon has three yubikeys for such aplications.
[23:02] <n1md4> hi.  i used ecryptfs on my home directory, but have misplaced what it was or how to retrieve it.  Ideally I'd like to change it to something I will remember.
[23:02] <n1md4> Any advice would be apprecitaed
[23:03] <diddledan> n1md4, login and run ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase
[23:03] <diddledan> I think that's the right command
[23:04] <n1md4> ah ha!  that's the passphrase then
[23:04] <diddledan> or, just login and marvel at the files being accessible
[23:05] <n1md4> so, if i wanted to mount that drive, for disaster recovery, it's that phrase that I need, right?
[23:05] <diddledan> yes
[23:05] <n1md4> Oh, I'm logged in now, it's beautiful :)
[23:05] <n1md4> Thanks.  So, is it easy to change? Or can I use the password (that is my login) to mount the drive
[23:07] <diddledan> the passphrase is encrypted using symmetric encryption based on your user-account. so you should only ever need the passphrase for that recovery scenario you mention where you can't use your normal login
[23:07] <n1md4> OK so note it somewhere and keep it safe!  got it.  thanks.
[23:08] <diddledan> normally the mounting is done via PAM when you sign-in, IIRC. so if your user account goes byebye then you need to use the recovery passphrase to access the files.
