[00:30] <shakes808> good evening all.  I had a question about what kind of parental control filtering is available for ubuntu
[00:31] <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
[00:41] <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.
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <dzho> this itself can be tricky...made so by the typical setup of home networks.
[00:50] <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.
[00:51] <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.
[00:54] <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?
[00:55] <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.
[00:56] <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?
[00:57] <dzho> that goes back to those programs in the link
[01:01] <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
[13:04] <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.
[13:11] <jrwren> whoa! AWS US East (Ohio) Region.
[13:19] <shakes808> jrwren: thank you.  I will look into proxy's
[14:51] <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
[14:52] <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
[14:54] <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
[14:55] <cmaloney> There you go
[14:55] <cmaloney> CaaS
[14:55] <rick_h_> hah
[16:37] <rick_h_> bah, pixel embargo release day it seems
[16:37] <rick_h_> everyone with their reviews/etc
[16:38] <cmaloney> heh
[16:38] <cmaloney> patience
[16:38] <rick_h_> I've heard of that...what is it again?
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <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*
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <cmaloney> my pants are already hot enough, thenk you
[17:43] <Scary_Guy> it's a cyberdeck goddamnit
[17:43] <Scary_Guy> deck is also acceptable
[17:44] <Scary_Guy> especailly since they're VR goggles now
