| [08:46] <lordievader> Good morning. | |
| [11:14] <BluesKaj> Howdy all | |
| [11:42] <lotuspsychje> good afternoon to all | |
| [11:43] <lordievader> Hey lotuspsychje, how are you doing? | |
| [11:43] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: hello, great im fine | |
| [11:44] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: just joined #ubuntu-hardened channel about ubuntu's security and exploits | |
| [11:44] <cfhowlett> sounds ... nsfw-ish | |
| [11:44] <lordievader> I see. | |
| [11:44] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: well i wanted to know how come so many exploits are being patched lately for ubuntu | |
| [11:45] <lotuspsychje> so this channel takes care of it | |
| [11:45] <lordievader> lotuspsychje: Do you run a hardend kernel? | |
| [11:46] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: no | |
| [11:49] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: this looks interesting to get involved: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/GettingInvolved | |
| [11:54] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: fternoon mate :p | |
| [11:54] <BluesKaj> Hey lotuspsychje | |
| [11:59] <lordievader> lotuspsychje: Go for it ;) | |
| [11:59] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: just added myself to security mailinglist | |
| [12:01] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: cant find any link about nvidia driver removal either | |
| [12:01] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, lemme look | |
| [12:02] <lotuspsychje> too many askbuntu results :p | |
| [12:02] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: but the opensource drivers still avalaible for lts right? | |
| [12:02] <cfhowlett> Yeah, opensource no problem. just the proprietary was pulled. very unusual | |
| [12:03] <lotuspsychje> yeah, and for LTS oO | |
| [12:19] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: its time linux starts taking over from win and mac, and stop this hardware boycot | |
| [12:19] <lotuspsychje> i hear less computers will be sold, because windows10 will be a free upgrade | |
| [12:20] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, well THIS year will be ... the year of the linux desktop! | |
| [12:20] <lotuspsychje> yeah | |
| [12:20] <lotuspsychje> good news for ubuntu, selling pc's with ubuntu as default then :p | |
| [12:21] <lotuspsychje> crazy how much distro's come out | |
| [12:21] <lotuspsychje> http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Linux-Distributions/ | |
| [12:23] <cfhowlett> windows10 free but I would be you still need to upgrade hardware for it to work. that's why SO many computers here in China are still on WinXP | |
| [12:23] <lotuspsychje> true | |
| [12:24] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: and with lower hardware, you can run linux fine | |
| [12:24] <cfhowlett> indeed! | |
| [12:24] <lotuspsychje> i read a school in spain have converted the whole school with ubuntu | |
| [12:25] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: http://itsfoss.com/spanish-school-ditches-windows-ubuntu/ | |
| [12:25] <cfhowlett> I see a few linux adoptions in government, schools and libraries | |
| [12:25] <lotuspsychje> saves a lot of $$$$$$ | |
