m0nkey_Gah, it's been almost two and a half hours since I went to the dentist, and my mouth still hasn't unfrozen.02:07
m0nkey_Odd sensation though, drinking cold water feels warm on one side of my tongue02:13

diploHey guys, we support customers remotely using teamviewer, someone has mentioned Zoho assist, any of you guys used it before ?10:23
SuperMattWhat do you support your customers in doing exactly?10:31
SuperMattpersonally, I don't trust any of the remote software10:31
diploNeither do I, desktop support occasionally, setting up sessions to our software10:33
diploWe're using a very old version of teamviewer licensed and it's either upgrade time or try another product, just thought i'd see what others use10:34
davmor2Morning all10:39
TwistedLuciditydiplo: Not a lot of help, but lots of alts here - http://alternativeto.net/software/teamviewer/?license=free (Zoho Assist is in there too)11:34
TwistedLucidityWe make do with Go-To Meeting etc (which doens't work on GNU/Linux)11:34
TwistedLucidityOh, I've restricted the license to Free/Open; easy enough to add proprietary back in.11:35
davmor2Rocketchat does voice and video calls I believe11:40
foobarryanyone use google keep?11:48
foobarryopinions vs evernote?11:48
davmor2foobarry: I do but only cause I use voice to make notes and that is what it defaults to11:48
davmor2foobarry: personally I think it is more basic than evernote but it depends how many of evernotes features you used11:50
foobarrysharing notes, reading on my phone, also share to evernote from a web page11:52
foobarrythe evernote web clipper is really good11:52
TwistedLuciditydavmor2: Does it allow for remote control?11:53
TwistedLucidity"it" being RocketChat.11:53
davmor2foobarry: keep I think does all of that only obviously using all google services.11:54
TwistedLucidityAnd, more importantly, can it punch people who don't read the step-by-step instructions that are in front of their face?11:54
diploWe do use on some linux desktops TwistedLucidity - hadn't taken that into account actually thanks11:55
davmor2TwistedLucidity: no, no you can't, but you can run sudo snap install slappy ;)11:55
TwistedLuciditydavmor2: LOL11:56
diploI use Keep for my shopping lists, make it at work and tick off in the shop11:56
TwistedLuciditydiplo: If it's Linux-linux, just "ssh -Y" the wee sod. Or proxy VNC over SSH.11:56
diploYeah, the people who are controlling it etc are not the cleverest11:57
* TwistedLucidity sorts his parent's router by proxying the web interface over a reverse SSH tunnel. Feels l33t.11:57
davmor2TwistedLucidity: not sure about features you would need to check on theirs site, as far as I am aware it is somewhere between slack and hangouts11:57
foobarryLike the Chrome Save to Google extension, the Keep clipping function doesn’t clip the entire page, so it’s still not a full replacement for apps like Pocket and Evernote. Still, these are nice updates if you want to use Keep not just for taking notes but also quickly saving things from the web11:57
TwistedLucidityUsed slack for ~5 mins, never used hangouts; but I shall check. Thanks!11:57
TwistedLucidityFor Pocket, consider Wallabag.11:58
foobarrypocket doesn't work for me11:58
foobarryfirst few web pages i tried just didn't work11:59
TwistedLuciditydavmor2: On the RocketChat page now. No idea what it does, too busy playing with the floating dots on their banner :-S11:59
davmor2TwistedLucidity: sucka12:00
davmor2TwistedLucidity: just read the features and click on the demo12:01
TwistedLucidityOoo, it's in a snap. Right, really need to figure out how to get a snap to use an external MariaDB instance on not bundle it's own. But will deffo test it out.12:01
SuperMattdiplo: I use Keep in the same way12:09
TwistedLucidityLOL. Screensharing is undocumented.12:09
TwistedLucidity"Why can't I remote monitor the server?"12:28
TwistedLucidity"Is the service running?"12:28
TwistedLucidity"No. Do I need to start it?"12:28
TwistedLucidityARGH!12:28
davmor2TwistedLucidity: Hello World isn't just a developer demo, it's an introduction the pain the world will inflict on you when you hit the release button :)12:31
foobarryaww google keep clipper doesn't store the text from a web page13:47
foobarryjust a link13:47
foobarryevernote is so much better13:47
davmor2foobarry: I did say it was more basic13:48
davmor2foobarry: my usage is mostly reminders and shopping lists so it is perfect for me13:49
foobarryits a shame or i'd switch over13:54

diploAnyone updated cPanel DNS via a script ?15:43
diploLike my example for Digital OCean the other day, most of the stuff I'm finding is a few years old, but thought I'd ask around before writing my own15:43
SuperMattmy opinion of cpanel is "ARGH! KILL IT WITH FIRE!"15:54
davmor2popey: you are evil16:05
diploSuperMatt: Agreed.16:10
