| NeRoboto | superfly: How about you? | 15:35 |
| NeRoboto | Does anyone else feel that South Africans are on average really ignorant of the existence of Linux based OSs? | 15:53 |
| paddatrapper | NeRoboto: yes and no. There are both extremes: those who know and those who don't have a clue, but very few who have just heard of it | 15:55 |
| MaNI | "Does anyone else feel that South Africans are on average really ignorant" - agree ;) | 15:56 |
| Kilos | hahaha | 15:56 |
| Kilos | hi superfly and others | 15:56 |
| MaNI | more seriously, I don't think it's just Linux specifically we have a huge technology gap in general, for which Telkom and their decades long stranglehold over the internet are responsible | 15:57 |
| NeRoboto | I guess. It's a pretty frustrating situation. | 15:57 |
| Kilos | hi paddatrapper | 15:57 |
| inetpro | you forgot, there are the others as well | 15:58 |
| inetpro | the others who think they know it all | 15:58 |
| MaNI | We were late to get computers, we were late to get internet, we still lag, and it shows in things like the lack of za people on IRC the lack of za people involved in OSS etc. Those who are involved are in general very clued up and good but there are definitely less of us. | 15:58 |
| inetpro | oops... | 15:58 |
| * inetpro hides away | 15:58 | |
| paddatrapper | hi oom Kilos :) | 15:58 |
| Kilos | :-) | 15:58 |
| paddatrapper | yet we were one of the first countries to regulate drone usage... | 15:59 |
| NeRoboto | paddatrapper: Eh. That's an outlying situation. | 15:59 |
| paddatrapper | NeRoboto: yeah I agree | 16:00 |
| Kilos | you guys talk heavy stuff. i go back to sleep | 16:00 |
| NeRoboto | Haha | 16:00 |
| Kilos | hows the family superfly | 16:01 |
| Kilos | and | 16:01 |
| NeRoboto | Join the revolution, Kilos! | 16:01 |
| Kilos | and | 16:01 |
| Kilos | and | 16:01 |
| Kilos | long time no hear about your side inetpro | 16:01 |
| Kilos | what revolution? | 16:01 |
| NeRoboto | The Linux revolution. | 16:01 |
| NeRoboto | In SA | 16:01 |
| NeRoboto | Now | 16:02 |
| NeRoboto | Grab your PCs and your swords | 16:02 |
| Kilos | i started with 8.10 and havent used anything else on my pcs | 16:02 |
| Kilos | currently use kde like most of the clever guys | 16:02 |
| Kilos | just so i can seem to be clever as well | 16:02 |
| NeRoboto | I use Gnome because I like pretty pixels. | 16:03 |
| Kilos | haha | 16:03 |
| Kilos | i left gnome when unity arrived | 16:03 |
| paddatrapper | I thought I could load Linux on my PC at home, but turns out the HDD controller is not compatible... Known issue with that motherboard, luckily I hardly every use anything but my laptop | 16:04 |
| Kilos | eish paddatrapper that sucks | 16:05 |
| * NeRoboto strokes his chin | 16:05 | |
| NeRoboto | That does such | 16:05 |
| NeRoboto | *suck | 16:05 |
| Kilos | maybe an upgrade of the firmware can help | 16:06 |
| paddatrapper | Maybe, but I think at this point upgrading the MoBo would be easier. It is about 6/7 years old by now | 16:06 |
| Kilos | ah | 16:06 |
| Kilos | not cheap | 16:07 |
| paddatrapper | true. never is | 16:07 |
| Kilos | mobos not too bad its the ram and cpu that are hevy | 16:07 |
| Kilos | lemme sleep some more so pro can come out of hiding | 16:08 |
| paddatrapper | RAM I can salvage - DDR3, CPU probably could do with an upgrade | 16:08 |
| paddatrapper | lekker slaap | 16:08 |
| Kilos | dankie | 16:08 |
| NeRoboto | Cheers | 16:09 |

| superfly | NeRoboto: I'm in the US. I used to live in Muizenberg, work in town. | 21:36 |
| vivus | superfly: what is the .org equivalent of youtube? | 21:45 |
| superfly | vivus: I'm not sure what you're asking me | 21:50 |
| vivus | there is an alternative to youtube for video hosting. | 21:51 |
| superfly | vivus: not that I know of, I'm afraid. | 21:53 |
| superfly | vivus: video hosting is not as simple as one would think. | 21:53 |
| vivus | it's a hosted solution IIRC. | 21:53 |
| vivus | not a self-hosting one | 21:54 |
| superfly | vivus: I mean, there's vimeo, and dailymotion that I know of | 21:54 |
| vivus | both of those are commercial, like YT | 21:54 |
| superfly | yes | 21:54 |
| vivus | maybe it was someone else who told me about it | 21:54 |
| superfly | maybe Amazon has something? | 21:54 |
| superfly | vivus: yeah, I'm not really big in that area | 21:55 |
| vivus | I distinctly recall this site running on a .org domain though | 21:56 |
| superfly | Maybe looking down the list of names here will ring a bell? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_hosting_services | 21:58 |
| vivus | where are debian conference videos hosted? | 22:01 |
| superfly | vivus: we host them ourselves | 22:02 |
| superfly | https://debconf16.debconf.org/talks/6/ | 22:02 |
| vivus | under what domain? | 22:02 |
| vivus | oh no, that's not it | 22:02 |
| superfly | there's the service that PyCon uses | 22:02 |
| superfly | uh... NextDayVideo ? | 22:03 |
| vivus | that is the dude from chicago who does the pycon recordings right? | 22:03 |
| vivus | yeah I can't seem to recall that site either. aah well, maybe someday I'll remember | 22:05 |
