[06:46] <nhaines> Yasumoto: nice to see you here.  :)
[07:25] <gmulak> Nathan, that worked - obviously
[07:26] <gmulak> hello?
[07:26] <nhaines> gmulak: you made it!  :)
[07:26] <nhaines> Well, that's revolutionary 1987 communications technology for you.  :)
[07:27] <gmulak> nhaines:  Yup!  thanks for the help.  / server worked, the other stuff didn't
[07:29] <nhaines> Unfortunately, Ubuntu had to migrate off of the Freenode network.  So this is home from now on.
[07:30] <nhaines> But the good news is that you've already done the hard part. :)
[07:30] <gmulak> I see.  How come?
[07:30] <gmulak> So is this where our meeting is from now on?
[07:33] <nhaines> The short answer is that somebody bought the Freenode domain name, tried to take control of the IRC infrastructure, and all the staff quit and created the Libera Chat network.  Then Freenode forcibly took over about 700 channels that mentioned irc.libera.net in their topic in any way.
[07:33] <nhaines> Although technically, once the Freenode staff resigned, the IRC Council voted to move to Libera Chat, and the Community Council voted to ratify the IRC Council's proposal the next day.
[07:34] <nhaines> So yes, this is where our meeting is from now on.
[07:34] <gmulak> Interesting.  
[07:34] <gmulak> We can talk about this later.  
[07:35] <gmulak> How do I set up the persistent server that you showed me with this running constantly, please?
[07:36] <nhaines> On an Ubuntu server, install Quassel Core by running `sudo apt install quassel-core`
[07:37] <gmulak> OH, OK.  I'll set one up in skysilk since I have more credits there than in droplet
[07:37] <nhaines> Then on any desktop computer, run `sudo apt install quassel-client` or otherwise install the Quassel IRC client.  Then connect to your server and you'll get a nice graphical wizard to set up the server backend.
[07:38] <gmulak> You make it sound so EASY!  LOL
[07:39] <gmulak> Question:  If I set up SSH on my Ubuntu machine can I use it on my Windows machine?
[07:39] <nhaines> That part was! lol.
[07:39] <nhaines> Yes, and in fact Windows ships OpenSSL client as part of Windows 10, possibly as an optional feature.
[07:40] <nhaines> But you can simply install Windows Subsystem for Linux, then go to the Microsoft Store and install Windows Terminal and Ubuntu, and use that, which is what I would do.
[07:41] <gmulak> Yes, but you know how to do that.  
[07:41] <gmulak> So I would have to learn another thing before I did this.  
[07:45] <gmulak> OK.  It is recommending that I "Register for the Windows Insider Program"
[07:45] <gmulak> nhaines:  Shout I do that?
[07:45] <gmulak> Or use the namual install method.  
[07:45] <nhaines> Just use the manual install method.
[07:46] <gmulak> OK.  Thanks.  
[19:37] <Yasumoto> nhaines: howdy!! good to check back in again after who knows how long :-D How're you doing?
[19:45] <Yasumoto> gmulak__: for what it's worth, WSL is phenomenal, and gets you a "best of both worlds" approach if you still have things you need on Windows. Joining the Insider Program is a requirement as you mentioned, but at least for me, since I have a Microsoft account already it was worth it
[22:30] <nhaines> Yasumoto: Doing pretty good!  Very busy, partially responsible for moving everyone from Freenode to Libera Chat.  Still doing lots of writing and translating!
[22:31] <nhaines> Yasumoto: WSL has been part of retail Windows 10 for over a year now.  No Insider Program required!  :)
[22:33] <Flannel> Yasumoto!
