lotuspsychjegood morning02:50
UssatI rip out snaps all together on my server installs03:06
lotuspsychjethe users choice Ussat03:07
UssatHonestly, I wish snaps were not included at all in server  uilds03:07
UssatJust an extra hassle03:07
lotuspsychjeyeah, i also share same opinion, leave the user the choice to go snappy at all03:08
lotuspsychjebut i think its a world in motion, when devs start to integrate things by default snap03:08
lotuspsychjei also like the way oerheks says; just like the ppa's, you have to trust the snap maintainer(s)03:09
Ussat'My problem with snaps, is the implimentation, they can push an update whenever......I controll when my servers get updated, not some random dev03:10
UssatWith a PPA, its different, they dont self upodate whenever03:10
UssatWhat is to stop some dev from fscking up bad and opushing the snap and having it update without me knowing ?03:11
lotuspsychjeits true03:11
Ussatsnaps do not belong in an enterprise OS03:11
Ussatperiod.03:11
lotuspsychjeUssat: when you leave a journalctl -f open these days, ubuntu has a secret internal life these days03:11
lotuspsychjeimagine if you got 50 snaps installed, what happens under the hood03:12
UssatWhats to stop a dev from pushing out a back door, repos get hacked03:12
Ussatand yes, same can be said about a PPA, but at least I KNOW when a ppa is updated03:12
lotuspsychjelets say the devs machine gets compromized, you get access to thousands users boxes for your malware update03:13
lotuspsychjeauto anything is a bad idea, and specialy for servers03:14
lotuspsychjethe admin needs its control03:14
Ussatexactly03:14
UssatNow, that said, I validate everything in my test env, but still03:15
Ussatif snaps did not auto update..problem solved03:15
lotuspsychjewell you can mess around with their timers yourself but..03:16
sarnoldnot enough, though03:16
sarnoldI can't tell you how many bloody times I've come in to work on a monday morning and found mattermost entirely useless because snap updated it over the weekend03:16
lotuspsychjeyikes03:16
Ussat^^03:16
sarnoldand that's just a stupid chat application03:17
UssatNow, snaps on a desktop....eh, I generally dont care03:17
sarnoldif it's a database server? noooooope.03:17
sarnoldit's *really* frustrating, because there's a bunch of good ideas there03:17
Ussatbut I cant believe the devs thought this was a good idea03:17
sarnoldbut the handful of *boggle* problems are seriously hindering it03:17
UssatThere are some really good ideas, implimentation was crap03:17
lotuspsychjesnap can be cool, if you admin choose for your own to have a single box with a few snaps that arent on the apt repos03:17
UssatWe have looked into that03:19
lotuspsychjewe got a server admin as volunteers that didnt like the default chromium browser going snappy neither03:21
marcoagpintoThe demon!05:54

sandrolinuxHello10:51
guivercG'day sandrolinux10:51
guivercWhat have you discovered in IRC?  or still trying to work it all out?10:52
sandrolinuxYeah I am still trying to work out how to use weechat10:52
guivercI've never used it, have thought about trying it (and irssi) but never get to it..10:55
sandrolinuxit is pretty good but a bit confusing11:06
sandrolinuxWhat is the irc you are using?11:12
guiverchexchat...  was default when I started using it.. just haven't changed11:15
guivercquassel is now default for my chosen desktop11:16
sandrolinuxOk cool weechat is pretty lightweight and it is terminal based which is great for ppl like me who love the terminal11:18
sandrolinuxWhat is your favourite ubuntu flavour?11:19
guivercI'm using Lubuntu/LXQt (so a terminal client makes more sense for me I think too)11:20
lotuspsychjemine are -dekstop & -lubuntu11:22
sandrolinuxMine might be mate11:23
sandrolinuxI like all of them really11:23
guivercsandrolinux, I also have Xubuntu installed on his box, plus ubuntu-desktop installed (ie. multiple desktops installed; I had mate till a few months back, needed disk space)11:23
sandrolinuxok11:24
sandrolinux Always been interested by Ubuntu Kylin but have not tried it yet11:24
guivercI've done some QA-test installs to explore it (Kylin), but the non-english was a barrier to really appreciated it for me.11:25
lotuspsychjeyour chinese isnt fluid guiverc :p:p11:25
guivercnot even close !11:26
sandrolinuxMy chinese is terrible but I am trying to learn Mandrin so it should hopefully improve11:28
sandrolinuxThe chinese goverment don't trust microsoft that is probably why they made stock Kylin11:29
guiverc:)    Kylin looked great... (bright & cheery as I recall, but it was a xenial spin I think I last tried.. 16.04.5 maybe so late 2018 & awhile ago now)11:29
sandrolinuxWhy would you trust a US company if you were the Chinese goverment? Microsoft are a part of the prism project11:30
guivercYeah I'd agree.. Canonical funded Kylin (flavor) for 5 years for 16.04/xenial instead of usual 3, so they threw some $s at it (first LTS)11:31
* guiverc is heading towards bed.. night folks11:33
lotuspsychjenite mate11:35
lotuspsychjeone chinese, two chinese, three...ZZZZzzzzZZZ11:35
