[00:30] good evening all. I had a question about what kind of parental control filtering is available for ubuntu [00:31] I am reading this from ubuntu's website: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ParentalControls [00:31] just wondering if there were any other sources [00:41] 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] shakes808: it's usually tricky, but it can be done. [00:48] administrating a machine remotely, that is [00:48] as to the specific details of the programs on that page, I have no experience. [00:48] but one general approach to remote administration is via ssh [00:49] this itself can be tricky...made so by the typical setup of home networks. [00:50] usually there's a NATting router that acts something like a firewall [00:50] so that has to be configured to direct outside connections in. [00:50] or, you set up something on the inside box to reach out beyond it. [00:51] (which then leads to the question--reach out to what?) [00:51] dzho: I was thinking teamviewer, I should be able to use that to get into the box. [00:54] 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] 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] I was about to say some sort of VPN set up, but usually that's for a different scenario. [00:56] where the vpn provides *more* access than a standard commodity connection (ie, to the stuff inside the VPN) [00:56] hmmm.... what about back to my original question about restricting web content and so he can't change the settings? [00:57] that goes back to those programs in the link [01:01] 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] 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] whoa! AWS US East (Ohio) Region. [13:19] jrwren: thank you. I will look into proxy's [14:51] jrwren: ? down? [14:51] jrwren: yea, getting it into juju 2, new default place for us :) [14:51] oh [14:52] Ohio, new region, got it [14:52] Seen on a job posting: Bro experience - highly desired [14:52] yea, though funny they call it us-east-2 [14:52] cmaloney: wtf [14:52] I dunno. Maybe they're looking for someone to smoke weed with [14:54] yeah, us-east-2, nice and close to home ;] [14:54] And considering most of Ohio is farmland it's a good use for the land. [14:54] hah, cmaloney now we know what the iCorn was up to [14:55] There you go [14:55] CaaS [14:55] hah [16:37] bah, pixel embargo release day it seems [16:37] everyone with their reviews/etc [16:38] heh [16:38] patience [16:38] I've heard of that...what is it again? [16:39] :P [16:39] THat thing that ensures your phone won't blow up moments after the release of the new one [16:39] sorry, mobile device [16:40] hah [16:40] PDA [16:40] they totally need to bring that term back [16:40] yea, the kickstarter thing I did now has a 1mo delay and it says it's due to the Li battery issues. [16:40] KS for what? [16:40] hey, google assistent, personal data assistent, almost [16:40] surely rick_h_ has HUGE patience. he works on juju. *zing* [16:41] https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/omnicharge-smart-compact-portable-power-bank-smartphone-powerbank#/ [16:41] sorry, not KS, but indie land [16:41] No worries [16:41] jrwren: naw, I just don't use my product [16:41] *oh my* [16:41] :P [16:41] rick_h_: lol [16:41] though I'd be leery of LI products from a non-big-name-company [16:41] cmaloney: yea, they're using the same batteries in other big name companies though [16:42] considering Samsung couldn't get it right... [16:42] I'm glad they're being patient though [16:42] That sort of thing could be ruinous [16:43] cmaloney: basically LiION AA's that are used in some of the batter chargers from folks like anker and company [16:43] but yea, I'd rather my bag didn't catch fire on a plane [16:43] Definitely not something I want either [16:44] my pants are already hot enough, thenk you [17:43] it's a cyberdeck goddamnit [17:43] deck is also acceptable [17:44] especailly since they're VR goggles now === dzho_ is now known as dzho
