| shakes808 | good evening all. I had a question about what kind of parental control filtering is available for ubuntu | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| shakes808 | I am reading this from ubuntu's website: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ParentalControls | 00:31 |
| shakes808 | just wondering if there were any other sources | 00:31 |
| shakes808 | and is there a way to remotely admin the machine? came across an windows 10 box, but it isn't letting me get to the parental controls that I need. This is going to be for my 10 year old son at his mother's house. this is why i am asking. | 00:41 |
| dzho | shakes808: it's usually tricky, but it can be done. | 00:48 |
| dzho | administrating a machine remotely, that is | 00:48 |
| dzho | as to the specific details of the programs on that page, I have no experience. | 00:48 |
| dzho | but one general approach to remote administration is via ssh | 00:48 |
| dzho | this itself can be tricky...made so by the typical setup of home networks. | 00:49 |
| dzho | usually there's a NATting router that acts something like a firewall | 00:50 |
| dzho | so that has to be configured to direct outside connections in. | 00:50 |
| dzho | or, you set up something on the inside box to reach out beyond it. | 00:50 |
| dzho | (which then leads to the question--reach out to what?) | 00:51 |
| shakes808 | dzho: I was thinking teamviewer, I should be able to use that to get into the box. | 00:51 |
| shakes808 | dzho: is this possible. At my house, have a ubuntu server and at his mother's house have his desktop or laptop. Have that desktop or laptop connect to my server to get what kind of accesses his user has? | 00:54 |
| dzho | I'm having trouble envisioning how you'd set it so he can access your machine, without having full access to the rest of the internet. | 00:55 |
| dzho | I was about to say some sort of VPN set up, but usually that's for a different scenario. | 00:55 |
| dzho | where the vpn provides *more* access than a standard commodity connection (ie, to the stuff inside the VPN) | 00:56 |
| shakes808 | hmmm.... what about back to my original question about restricting web content and so he can't change the settings? | 00:56 |
| dzho | that goes back to those programs in the link | 00:57 |
| shakes808 | the article seems old, just want to make sure that there isn't anything better. I looked at gnome nanny but it looks like it hasn't been updated in some time: https://github.com/GNOME/nanny unless it is that polished and doesn't need anything | 01:01 |
| jrwren | shakes808: most browsers will request proxy.pac from dhcp node, you can server that with conditions and redirect things through a filtering http proxy. | 13:04 |
| jrwren | whoa! AWS US East (Ohio) Region. | 13:11 |
| shakes808 | jrwren: thank you. I will look into proxy's | 13:19 |
| greg-g | jrwren: ? down? | 14:51 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: yea, getting it into juju 2, new default place for us :) | 14:51 |
| greg-g | oh | 14:51 |
| greg-g | Ohio, new region, got it | 14:52 |
| cmaloney | Seen on a job posting: Bro experience - highly desired | 14:52 |
| rick_h_ | yea, though funny they call it us-east-2 | 14:52 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: wtf | 14:52 |
| cmaloney | I dunno. Maybe they're looking for someone to smoke weed with | 14:52 |
| jrwren | yeah, us-east-2, nice and close to home ;] | 14:54 |
| cmaloney | And considering most of Ohio is farmland it's a good use for the land. | 14:54 |
| rick_h_ | hah, cmaloney now we know what the iCorn was up to | 14:54 |
| cmaloney | There you go | 14:55 |
| cmaloney | CaaS | 14:55 |
| rick_h_ | hah | 14:55 |
| rick_h_ | bah, pixel embargo release day it seems | 16:37 |
| rick_h_ | everyone with their reviews/etc | 16:37 |
| cmaloney | heh | 16:38 |
| cmaloney | patience | 16:38 |
| rick_h_ | I've heard of that...what is it again? | 16:38 |
| rick_h_ | :P | 16:39 |
| cmaloney | THat thing that ensures your phone won't blow up moments after the release of the new one | 16:39 |
| cmaloney | sorry, mobile device | 16:39 |
| rick_h_ | hah | 16:40 |
| cmaloney | PDA | 16:40 |
| cmaloney | they totally need to bring that term back | 16:40 |
| rick_h_ | yea, the kickstarter thing I did now has a 1mo delay and it says it's due to the Li battery issues. | 16:40 |
| cmaloney | KS for what? | 16:40 |
| rick_h_ | hey, google assistent, personal data assistent, almost | 16:40 |
| jrwren | surely rick_h_ has HUGE patience. he works on juju. *zing* | 16:40 |
| rick_h_ | https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/omnicharge-smart-compact-portable-power-bank-smartphone-powerbank#/ | 16:41 |
| rick_h_ | sorry, not KS, but indie land | 16:41 |
| cmaloney | No worries | 16:41 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: naw, I just don't use my product | 16:41 |
| rick_h_ | *oh my* | 16:41 |
| rick_h_ | :P | 16:41 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: lol | 16:41 |
| cmaloney | though I'd be leery of LI products from a non-big-name-company | 16:41 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: yea, they're using the same batteries in other big name companies though | 16:41 |
| cmaloney | considering Samsung couldn't get it right... | 16:42 |
| cmaloney | I'm glad they're being patient though | 16:42 |
| cmaloney | That sort of thing could be ruinous | 16:42 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: basically LiION AA's that are used in some of the batter chargers from folks like anker and company | 16:43 |
| rick_h_ | but yea, I'd rather my bag didn't catch fire on a plane | 16:43 |
| cmaloney | Definitely not something I want either | 16:43 |
| cmaloney | my pants are already hot enough, thenk you | 16:44 |
| Scary_Guy | it's a cyberdeck goddamnit | 17:43 |
| Scary_Guy | deck is also acceptable | 17:43 |
| Scary_Guy | especailly since they're VR goggles now | 17:44 |
