reinobI was away last week. Checked the log. Any news?21:44
pichloNo, sorry. I volunteered for something and failed horribly. Did not have a minute to sit down :(21:46
pichloCrazy week. Could not even arrange my kids' school break.21:47
reinobwe have two weeks off. last week we were in spain. this week we enjoy the bad weather by doing nothing :)21:48
reinob(which means there's a lot to do, cleaning up and sorting things around)21:48
pichloThis week is looking better for me. Work partly done and Monday is a publuc holiday ;)21:51
reinobre. https and tor. was any decision reached?21:55
reinobI fully support offering https (but allowing http is OK) and accessing via tor.21:55
pichloThe decision was unanimous on TOR. Rveryone supported it. No one seemed too bothered about HTTPS.21:58
pichloIt was my job to check feasibility with techstaff but... see above.21:59

juicemepichlo, o/22:02
juicemereinob, o/22:02
juicemewell, win7mac has been busy and prepared the draft for the GA meeting invitation22:03
pichloHow do you know who is online???22:03
*** Win7Mac has joined #maemo-meeting22:03
Win7Machi22:04
juicemewell I can see from the status :)22:04
juicemeWin7Mac, o/22:04
pichloI can't. Wrong client?22:04
juicemeWin7Mac, thanks for the GA draft22:04
Win7Macsure22:04
eekkelundHi juiceme !22:04
juicemepichlo, am using just basic irssi22:05
Win7Macchem|st wanted to edit something on the GA invitation22:05
reinobif you type /who you see who is online in the current group22:05
juicemeyes22:05
reinobWin7Mac: thanks also for the draft!22:05
juicemeand also, when people enter/exit channels there is a notification on the screen...22:06
pichloI see the notifications but not the status22:08
pichlo'/who' does nothing at all22:09
reinobpichlo: which client are you using?22:09
juicemenormally the output of /who goes to window 1 in irssi22:09
pichloIRC for Sailfish. Thete is only one. I checked.22:10
juicemeirssi is handy because you can keep multiple channels open, and jump between them with ctrl-n, ctrl-p22:10
juicemeah22:10
juicememobile clients may be different22:10
pichloBTW is it only me or were there no minutes last week?22:11
juicemeI have tried it long tme ago22:11
reinobsailfish IRC had a window (sliding from the right?) showing the current members22:11
juicemetrue22:11
juicemeregarding minutes22:11
juicemewas too busy to help eekkelund with em22:11
pichloIt shows members but not who is online.22:11
juicemebut have now given advice22:11
pichloUnless everyone is online all the time.22:12
juicemeI think all the users it shows are online22:12
Win7Maceekkelund, any problems with the minutes?22:12
reinobpichlo: if a member is shown it means he's joined the channel. there's no concept of online/offline in IRC22:12
juicemereinob, yes, better explained22:12
pichloThat sucks22:12
juicemeif someone is on channel, it is not posible to see if he's idling or actively at te kbd22:13
reinobmany people keep a client connected (e.g. running on a server which is always online), so they never leave tge channel but are not necessarily online in the sense that they are actively looking at the screen22:13
reinobjuiceme: exactly22:13
pichloMy impression of IRC has sunk even lower22:13
juicemehow so?22:13
juicemeit is actually wonderful that way22:13
reinobit's like whatsup on jolla. people think you're always online22:13
reinobIRC is like e-mail. sucks on multiple levels but there's nothing better!22:14
juicemethere are niceties,like you can set it up so it pings you immediately via email if someone mentins your name22:14
pichloSucks22:14
eekkelundWin7Mac: I got help from juiceme so no problems ATM, just late22:14
juicemepichlo :)22:14
juicemesucks but there is nothing that works better :)22:15
pichloThe point of an INSTANT message system is that it is, well, instant.22:15
pichloThat does not work if I don't even know who is online.22:15
juicememmh, well yes. I think of it a *nice* messager, I'd hate to be botherable all the time22:16
juicemeone of the reasons I'll never yield to wazzups & such22:16
juicemethe thing is, how can you ever get anything done if you'd need to respond to someone's message every 3 minutes22:17
pichloI see IM as a proxy for a phone call. With immediate interaction. If I do not care about delays then I use a more suitabke medium, like SMS, email or a web forum.22:18
juicemethe blessing of SMS is that it does not support group chat22:18
pichloITC is neither here nor thete.22:18
pichloIRC22:18
reinobwell I wouldn't consider IRC to be IM. think of "relay chat" as "delayed chat" :)22:18
juicemepeople don't use IM like that; instead they use it like gropu chat. and when there are 30+ memgers in a group someone is always sending, 24/7 and it will absolutely make you crazy22:19
pichloRendered useless by the fact that I do not see what others have written 5minutes before I logged in ;)22:20
reinobI have that with threema. Work colleagues use it, but in the end I have to turn the notifications off to actually get some work done22:20
juicemereinob, exactly. the nice thing about IRC is the delay; I can read back later what people have said in the last 24h22:20
juicemepichlo, that's because of the mobile client...22:21
juicemewhen you use it like that, there's no history22:21
juicemeyou start the session, and only see messages from that point on22:21
pichloSucks22:21
reinobjuiceme: that's not even built-in in IRC, you need a bouncer for that. But that's the beauty (in a nerdy sense) of IRC. it's programmable!22:21
juicemeoh yes22:21
reinobtomorrow is world nerd day IIRC22:22
juicemedidn't notice that. how should I celebrati it?22:22
reinobgeek pride day22:22
reinobsounds a bit gay-ish, but OK22:22
juicememaybe I'll take my N810 at work with me... nerdy enough?22:22
reinob:)22:23
Win7Machehe22:23
juicemeit's not even old piece of tech... just got it last week. Helped a co-worker to buy a JOlla and he gave me a boxed N810 as a gift :)22:24
reinobcool :)22:24
Win7Macnice22:25
juicemeamazing thing, even better kbd than on N90022:25
reinobyesterday I used my jolla again after 5-6 weeks not touching it (have "converted" to android now) and it actually felt good22:25
Win7Machuh, reinob a turncoat ;)22:27
juicemeheh, nice after a "vacation" :)22:27
pichloreinob, that's how I feel every time I put down my Jolla and take my N90022:27
eekkelundjuiceme: Nice, you like it?:)22:28
reinobwell the jolla was never my thing. for me it's either N900 or Android, but Sailfish didn't quite have the convenience of Android nor the absolute hackiness of N90022:28
reinobIf N900 (or Neo900 whenever it's ready) could support a number of things that have become essential...22:28
*** pichlo has quit IRC22:29
*** pichlo has joined #maemo-meeting22:30
eekkelundreinob, what about N9 ?:)22:30
reinobre. turncoat: not in my mind, but in life you have to make compromises. I've always been an open-source and anti-patent guy and I work in the patent office since 2004... :)22:30
reinobI never had an N9. didn't see it then as an improvement to N900 so I skipped it22:30
eekkelundOh :/22:32
reinobQ: besides council at maemo.org and garage at maemo.org, are there any other lists?22:32
juicemeN9 is essential just to know what it feels like in the hand22:33
juicemeit is one of the most holtable devices ever made :)22:34
*** pichlo has quit IRC22:34
juicemes/holtable/holdable/22:34
reinobI believe you (although I've never even seen -- let alone touch -- an N9), but the software didn't interest me (closed/open-mode kernel, aegis, etc.)22:35
juicemefor me, N9 was the introduction to Maemo. I only got N900 much, much later. That's the reason it is not so familiar to me22:35
juicemeyes the SW stack of it is a horrible mixup22:35
reinobI started with N900, coming from E7522:35
*** pichlo has joined #maemo-meeting22:36
juicemebut MER fixed that and Jolla is MEr...22:36
Win7Macfor me, N9 was the introduction to Maemo too22:36
Win7MacN9 rules22:36
Win7Mac;)22:36
reinobI always wanted (want!) a real keyboard. had 6800, E70, E75 and then N90022:36
juicemepichlo, dropped out of cellular coverage?22:36
juicemeyes. missing the KBD is the downside of N922:37
reinobjolla is much better software-wise. I actually like the whole thing (even with wayland, systemd and btrfs :), but unfortunately the world of apps-for-everything is here to stay (for now), and jolla cannot offer that much22:37
juicemebut it has the most exiting tactile feel of the emulated KBD in all the devices22:37
juicemeI disagree, but that's what I alwasy do. there's even a Tinder client for Jolla now, so what could you want more :)22:38
juiceme^^^ for the app-oriented people22:38
juicemebut as I was saying, reinob, if you never tried the VKBD of N9 you miss a lot... the haptics is awesome, it is modeled on an old-mechanical-typewriter :)22:40
reinobmy decision to buy an android handset (moto g3 2015) was to have working calendar and contacts (jolla worked well with owncloud but every now and then would fvck up) and then some things like whatsapp which I've started to "need". I like K9 as e-mail client and other Android-apps better than their Sailfish-equivalents. But Jolla and Android means lowmem-killer here and there so I thought I'd go for t22:41
reinobhe "real" (!) thing and get an android with 2GB of RAM. Works quite well if you ask me :)22:41
reinob(but I still hate it internally)22:41
juicemereinob, why on earth do you need whatsapp?22:44
juicemewhat do you get from it SMS does not cut?22:45
reinobfamily, kindergarten and school mothers (!), etc. :)22:45
juicemeI just have refused to go there22:45
juicemeif people want to contact me, there's plenty of ways22:45
reinobI know, but... I know :)22:46
juiceme:P22:46
juicemestay strong, and the force be with you!22:46
Win7Machaha22:46
juicemedon't go to the dark side!22:46
Win7Mactrue!22:47
reinobwait till the Neo900 comes my way. I'll get those mothers to switch to IRC! :)))22:47
juicemeawesome!22:47
Win7Macor CM at least22:47
Win7Maccyanogen22:47
reinobI'm fully google-ized. I even use google now and google photos. Really spooky but sooo practical :)22:48
Win7Macho no!22:48
juicemeI have given up to using Slack 'cos that's work related. But even so, have been underminig it, doing mole-work and this week it was realized; we are moving to Rocket instead :)22:48
Win7Macreinob, seems you're lost...22:48
Win7Mac...to google22:49
juicemeyes, reinob needs a lot of moral support and preaching-to, now :)22:49
juicemeRMS to the rescue!22:49
eekkelundLets have a moment of silence to our fallen friend22:50
reinobWin7Mac: I'm turning 40 this year. I need to stop hacking around for every damn little thing I need, so I've let myself fall to the dark side, for the convenience of it. But I can get back any time! :)22:50
* juiceme keeps a moments silence22:50
eekkelundMoment has been long enough :D22:52
juicemeya22:52
reinobyup google now just told me :)22:52
juicemewell hacking is not age-dependent really. it's just a lifetime habit of finding neatness in all things you do22:53
juicemeand definitely neatness != tidiness :)22:53
juicemeI consider myself a hacker and am looking at them 40's from far away on the other side...22:54
juicemeBTW, just this instant there's couple of new spammies in to the council mailing list22:58
reinobthat was like 20 minutes ago :)22:59
reinobaccount compromised or such22:59
juicemeThe messages are so pathetic, I wonder why do they bother22:59
juicemeexactly22:59
juicemeand ontains a zipfile23:00
Win7Macsorry, was afk23:00
juicemea zipfile my ass! Who nowdays opens zipfiles from email!??23:01
juicemeWin7Mac np23:01
reinobwell I read that 1/3 of German companies have been infected by one of those encrypting trojans23:01
juicemeand without checking I know what's inside. it contains a javascript obfuscated function which looks like gibberish but in reality unpacks itself to a small script that contacts a few addresses to download the rest of the payload23:02
Win7Macshit23:03
juiceme(I did debug one such thing for LOL's)23:03
juicemeit si so common it has became boring. not even funny any longer23:03
juicemewhy don't they try something novel?23:04
Win7Macseems still some idiots do open such stuff23:04
Win7Mac...but mot like you23:04
juicemeI just cannot imagine it. People just don't listen whatever you tell them, why?23:04
juicemeit's like 10 years or so since the advice has been "don't open attachments"23:05
Win7Macso true23:06
juiceme:)23:06
*** pichlo has quit IRC23:06
reinobpoor pichlo..23:06
juicemewell, do we have any business to handle?23:07
reinobga draft?23:07
juicemeyes, pichlo's dropping off illustrates the problem of mobile IRC clients23:07
reinobhave to admit I didn't go thru it but I believe chemist's comments apply. he's like always right anyway ;)23:08
juicemeyes, that. Win7Mac, was chemist going to add something?23:08
Win7Macchem|st said he will edit the invitation and then send around again23:08
reinobOK23:08
Win7Macbecause of formalities23:08
juicemeokay, waiting for it them23:08
reinobre. tor access to maemo.org. if we (council) decide, must techstaff implement it?23:09
reinobor who gets the final word here?23:09
Win7Macsaid he's on vacation23:09
juicemeother thing, seems there still are some missing priviligies for councillors, eekkelund cannot write the Council blog. I pinged chemist on it23:09
Win7Macwell council is in charge for the invitation23:09
juicemereinob, must is a strong word23:10
eekkelundYeah couldn't see the floating-menu..23:10
juicemebut I'd say there is a case for it, so unless it proves very difficult it's to be done23:10
reinobjuiceme: yes, but we can take it from there (shall, must, should, could, whatever)23:10
juicemeyes23:10
Win7Macchem|st said https should be doable23:11
juicemegood that23:11
juicemeI was fearing it could be difficult23:11
juicemeas midgard is directly manipulating http connections23:11
juicemeunless do it by proxying the whold shebang behind an apache proxy23:12
juicemewhich again could prove to be a bottleneck23:12
juicememaybe23:12
juicemebut woth studying, yes23:12
Win7Macjuiceme, if pichlo is busy, could you contact techstaff about https, tor and what was that 3rd thing?23:13
Win7MacI'll look it up23:13
reinobyou can access via https but many links go to the http site, which is wrong. I'm afraid the only consistent solution is either to have a global redirect (http to https) or like you say a reverse proxy23:13
Win7Macor reinob?23:13
juicemeWin7Mac, I can take the AP to check those things23:14
reinob3rd thing was eekkelund permissions I think23:14
reinobI can ask about https and tor23:14
juicemeokay by me :)23:14
juicemeand since the permissions are awry, I'll write the minutes23:15
juicemeand previous minutes23:15
reinobhttps://maemo.org already gives a warning in chrome about page trying to load unsafe scripts23:15
juicemeon the provision I have time...23:15
eekkelundThanks a lot juiceme :)23:17
reinobI put ssl/tor on my to-do list. Hopefully I can do something about it this week23:17
juicemestill lots of my time is taken by the Nokia layoffs. Even as now the co-op negotiations are finished (last friday was the signing day) there's huge amount of support to be arranged for the people to be made redundant....23:17
reinobwhat about you?23:18
juicemewell, as employee representative I am safe myself. (that's finnish legislation)23:19
Win7Macthe idea was to grant tor access in read only and/or connect to the "hidden service address"23:20
juicemebut it is my task to carry on the negotiations on behalf of my colleagues23:20
Win7Macthe other issue was spam23:20
juicemeWin7Mac, yes23:20
juicemespam on TMO or spam on mailing lists?23:20
Win7Mac...and the idea to prevent spam by altering the way certain mails e.g. garage are handled... like mailing lists23:21
juicemeof TMO, I think there are blacklists that are updated regularily but of course new spammers come in now and then23:21
Win7Macor somesuch, that's what chem|st said23:22
juicemeokay23:22
juicemeso.23:22
juicemeI think I need to go to bed soom23:23
juicemesoon23:23
reinobme too23:23
eekkelundI should also go.. I got summerjob!:) And after summer I will be parttimer23:24
reinobjuiceme: good luck re. nokia! for you and for your colleagues!23:24
Win7Macok, gnite then23:24
reinobgood night then!23:24
Win7Macand yes, all the best juiceme23:24
juicemereinob, thanks!23:25
juicemeWin7Mac, too23:25
eekkelundGood night! :)23:25
juicemenite!23:26
