[06:54] <Kilos> morning za peeps
[07:15] <inetpro> good morning
[07:15] <Kilos> hi inetpro 
[09:20] <ebsuku> hi all
[09:58] <Langjan> Hello everyone
[10:01] <vulcan> Heyo :)
[10:01] <vulcan> Crosspost from slack: Anyone using megasync on ubuntu 16.04? Mine seems to have stopped syncing in the last month or two. Says that everything is fine though, but there are discrepancies between local folders and what shows via browser
[10:01] <Langjan> Hi vulcan 
[10:04] <Langjan> Any advice on this output in 16.04 Unity 64 bit? W: https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/16.04/main/dists/xenial/InRelease: Signature by key 09D6EF97BFB38E916EF060E756A3DEF863961D39 uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)
[10:07] <Kilos> hi Langjan and others
[10:20] <inetpro> hi vulcan 
[10:21] <inetpro> first time I even hear about megasync
[10:21] <vulcan> :O
[10:21] <vulcan> 50gb free cloud storage that's officially E2E
[10:22] <vulcan> Mega.nz's been around for like ages(5 years or so) inetpro :D
[10:23] <inetpro> looks interesting
[10:23] <vulcan> There was a whole scandal with some US guys dropping into NZ to arrest the guy, and then him being released, and then him selling out the company, the E2E encryption was apparently not
[10:23] <vulcan> But for random media storage it's decent. Compared to dropbox sharing though it's terrible
[10:24] <vulcan> I use it as a Media backup archive for some scout stuff, mainly photos etc. That I want backed up, but don't want to pay for :joy:
[10:24] <vulcan> Should probably swap to just using glacier at some point though tbh
[10:25] <vulcan> Sidenote, it seems like a full purge of the app did the trick, it's resyncing again \o/
[10:26] <inetpro> vulcan: cool, thanks for the heads up
[10:26] <paddatrapper> I also use it for backup storage. Though I gpg encrypt it before uploading because I don't trust their encryption 
[10:27] <vulcan> Yeah, i don't really trust it either. Just use it for photos and stuff though so I don't really care, wouldn't put anything sensitive on it unencrypted though, too many scandals and whatnot
[11:54] <Langjan> Hello Kilos- 
[13:20] <Kilos-> hi Langjan struggling a bit but ok
[13:20] <Kilos-> here taras latest https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3MJslxJO-Y
[13:21] <Kilos-> think it was linkin parks before he hung himself
[13:21] <Kilos-> i had never heard of linkin park till just no
[13:21] <Kilos-> now
=== Kilos- is now known as Kilos
[13:32] <inetpro> Langjan: https://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/221408-sars-efiling-will-move-away-from-adobe-flash.html
[13:33] <inetpro> SARS according to the above link, "has adopted HTML5 as the standard for its electronic channels going forward"
[13:34] <inetpro> good news that, now only a matter of time until we see it, hopefully 
[13:51] <MaNI> wow miracles do happen
[14:00] <andrewlsd> vulcan: you involved with Scouts?
[14:02] <MaNI> hopefully the transition doesn't cost us taxpayers several trillion rands and end up a complete flop
[14:05] <andrewlsd> paddatrapper: I've used similar storage in the past.   I use Ubuntu's encrypted "Private" folder which uses ecryptfs. and then I sync the .Private folder 
[14:06] <andrewlsd> so that the data that gets uploaded is pre-encrypted
[14:15] <vulcan> andrewlsd, Yep, can confirm
[14:26] <andrewlsd> cool vulcan. me too.  (western cape, table bay district)
[14:29] <vulcan> Heyyyy. I'm TS at 2nd Rondebosch, Liesbeek
[14:35] <andrewlsd> I'm ATS 1st Edgemead
[14:36] <andrewlsd> you guys using Scouts.Digital?
[14:36] <vulcan> Nope. Tried it and gave up, built my own one a year or so ago which I still much prefer, but planning on building a proper solution by the end of the year
[14:38] <vulcan> If the system doesn't give the controls to the users (Scouters), it's never gonna scale. He's so busy firefighting that he doesn't have time for dev work. Plus it doesn't feel like a proper custom solution tbh
[14:38] <vulcan> Page loads on mobile are so painful
[14:39] <vulcan> To me a solid SPA running on react + PWA vibes makes sooooo much more sense. Even my current thing which is just like 2 weeks worth of painful pure php code is way faster than S.D 
[14:40] <andrewlsd> vulcan: would love to see an open source solution.
[14:40] <vulcan> Yeah, that's the idea
[14:40] <andrewlsd> imho OSS would be appropriate for scouts.
[14:41] <vulcan> imho non-OSS is inappropriate for scouts :D
[14:41] <andrewlsd> ^ agreed!
[14:41] <vulcan> Ive gone down the rabbit hole of national though. On the IT committee thing, but it's such a farce
[14:42] <andrewlsd> I looked at the previous Scouts software which was Windows-only and although the dev was nice about it, it was a non-starter for me being "single-user" windows only software.
[14:42] <andrewlsd> ... looked at ScoutSheet (a google spreadsheet)
[14:42] <vulcan> I mean, Paddy knew that S.D was being rolled out to WC. I was never even involved in talking about it :|
[14:42] <andrewlsd> and ended up at Scouts.D... 
[14:42] <vulcan> Yeah, Nigel's decent
[14:42]  * vulcan suggests we take this OT convo to pm
[14:42] <andrewlsd> N was definitely pleasant to deal with.
[14:43]  * andrewlsd is happy to pm.
[15:08] <andrewlsd> Cheers all. See you again soon
[16:16] <Langjan> inetpro, thanks for the good news, at long last somebody has awoken in the 21 st Century!
[17:32] <Langjan> Hi Kilos hoesit
[18:22] <chesedo> hi guys, i see we have meeting tonight
