[11:04] <calcmandan> i host my own groupware server (citadel) and it works really well for me. i also subscribe to newsgroups and use them across a variety of computers/pda/tablets. know of any good servers that i can have collect the newsgroups i subscribe to and can sync? something like imap but for newsgrouops?
[11:04] <calcmandan> citadel doesn't support nntp yet.
[11:04] <calcmandan> it would be on a ubuntu server host, of course.
[12:32] <tomreyn> someone younger than me would probably ask "newsgroups, is this something like twitter or instagram?" now.
[12:32] <tomreyn> chances are that if citadel hasn't yet learnt nntp, it also won't in the future
[13:19] <JanC> there are tools to sync from NNTP to IMAP folders also
[13:25] <JanC> calcmandan: maybe leafnode is what you are looking for
[13:26] <JanC> or maybe sn
[14:00] <Teikoman_fi> Would someone happen to know if this patch( https://bugs.launchpad.net/uvtool/+bug/1781785 ) is possible to have on Ubuntu 18.04 instead of using 3rd party patch script to install as the network-config is for example required if wanting to use additional ipv4 subnet for the vms on Hetzner(but this does have the sad side effect that the usual
[14:00] <Teikoman_fi> `uvt-kvm ip <vm>` is unable to get the assigned IP address though this is not issue if using domiflist and arp -a to verify connection and IP address)
[16:26] <Ussat> does anyone know what version of redis is avaliable in Ubuntu ?
[16:27] <tomreyn> Teikoman_fi: unlikely, unless you do it, i'd say. it's in universe, so community maintained, making it less likely that there'll be officially matained backports. i'd consider it a feature which will only be introduced in 20.04 LTS (or is already in starting 19.10 if you use that on servers), but still community maintained.
[16:28] <tomreyn> Ussat: use https://packages.ubuntu.com or the rmadison command (devtools)
[16:28] <tomreyn> i mean package "devscripts"
[16:29] <Ussat> I found it, 4.09
[16:30] <tomreyn> there's also https://qa.debian.org/madison.php?package=redis&table=ubuntu
[16:30] <tomreyn> apparently "ubuntu" == "Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" then
[16:37] <Teikoman_fi> tomreyn: well the patch can be installed on ubuntu 18.04 but um I have absolute 0 knowlege on how to even request such feature to be merged into 18.04. For example this guide ( https://blog.adamretter.org.uk/bridged-kvm-virtualisation-at-hetzer/ ) had the patch for those that were using earlier version than 19.10 so I already verified that it indeed works with 18.04 but would be amazing to see it added to
[16:37] <Teikoman_fi> 18.04 world. also that same person had the launchpad bug request had second last comment that they may stop backports but also had no verification if it could be added(not sure what the mentioned python 3 stuff would mean but Ubuntu 18.04 should not be "that old" to not support them)
[16:40] <Teikoman_fi> Sure I really wait for 20.04 to arrive but ofc it's always it's own pain to try direct upgrade jump from 18.04 to 20.04 and learn what has completely changed with the addition on the guides will appear slowly for them not to mention what bugs could be found
[16:45] <tomreyn> Teikoman_fi: this was just my interpretation, you're welcome to interpret it differently. ;-) The comment you are referring to is that of a regular here, but I don't see them offering to ensure support in 18.04 so you'll probably need to ensure this on your own - just requesting it is probably not enough (though it might be if you have a support contract with canonical, i could not tell)
[16:55] <Teikoman_fi> tomrey: like mentioned that I lack the knowledge and skills to do anything related to that really so yeah it probably is going to be impossible for which I am glad the 3rd party patch works. In the end I just hope this patch works til 20.04 is out and battle tested as I usually prefer using the latest LTS if possible(it also is going to have the new network-manager update containing bridge stuff assuming
[16:55] <Teikoman_fi> features from 19.10 will find their way there). Life without that patch currently is just impossible for me when playing around with KVM + Uvtool :)
[17:39] <tomreyn> Teikoman_fi: i didn't mean to blame you for not knowing how to, i haven't contributed in this way either. this is how you could get started if you would like to try: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu
[17:43] <tomreyn> i see how uvtool needing this 3rd party patch poses a problem for anyone working in hetzners' or comparable environments
[18:08] <jayjo> I'm trying to setup an ubuntu server cluster to require either a google authenticator or yubikey 2fa when ssh is established. Does this require two different PAM modules? Can I enable both modules, but require a user to use one or the other? That way, if one is lost, the other can be still be used?
[21:51] <faekjarz> Hi, anyone with a Zen2/Rome EPYC CPU in here? I'd like to know the results of 'cryptsetup benchmark'. (in particular, the single-socket P variant CPU, any other will do
[21:51] <faekjarz> )
