knightwisestill can't believe we don't have a client for the Google Drive these days08:26

daftykinsi'm not even hugely impressed by the G Drive client in Windows land, i put it in at a clients with their documents sat inside it hoping for auto backup, most times i visit it's not even running in the system tray... and it breaks the windows indexer service so search doesn't work (well) in there - even on an SSD say08:41
popeyMOrning08:59
popeybrobostigon: I'd like that too!08:59
brobostigon:)08:59
daftykinswouldn't it be easier to use one of these more modern clients that lurks on one host and you can connect in from multiple device types?09:00
daftykinsznc or such like09:00
brobostigonssh?09:00
daftykinsno09:01
daftykinsthat's general purpose ;)09:01
popeynot really, i only want it for notifications09:04
popeyand I already use irssi09:04
popeyMyrtti: do you know the irssinotifier developer? I have a vague recollection you said you did.09:05
daftykinsi can't think of the names but i'm sure there're more modern approaches to the whole thing that'd tie that in, but i too use irssi and can't be bothered to branch out!09:05
Myrttipopey: icb bloke I know, but I probably could get in touch with the in guy too, easily, why?09:08
Myrttioh09:09

knightwiseThe Synology Sync client on my linux machine is a tad slow09:38
knightwisebut it appears to do the job09:38
knightwiseI'm happy it works though.09:38
daftykinsthat the backup only type one, or the home dropbox type one?09:39
knightwiseHome dropbox type one09:50
knightwiseworks pretty smoothly these days09:50
daftykinsmmm, i debated trying it for some folks - a home OpenVPN setup letting them browse to mapped drives to docs seems useful also09:52
knightwisetrue , but I'm not always able to setup a vpn,09:52
knightwisemostly i work behind clients firewalls en stuff09:52
daftykins*nod* i'm sure the circumstances always vary09:52
knightwiseso I run into scenarios where they dont allow me to dail in09:52
knightwise+ its essential for me that I can work offline too09:53
knightwiseWhen I do presentations I always need to have a realtime copy of the presentation on my laptop and on the home server09:53
