Hi Shrini

shrini: saw your email reg children screen time limitation

shrini: should it be like FOSS only? becuase I am using Google's Family Link app

shrini: that app installed in parent's mobile as well as child's mobile, parent can fix the screen time, apps blocking, time limit for each app etc. You can have a look at it.

hello boopalan

hello shrini , how are you?

doing good

are you attending the db classes?

if not, attend now

join here

thank you, see you tomorrow

Hi Shrini

hi all

Good day Everyone!

Hello all

How was the db class today?

It was good shrini. Covered the installation and architecture

Nice

shrini- Need your help. I am unable to configure IRCCloud in my mobile. Not sure where and what I am missing.

what is the hostname/port that i need to specify in the connection detail

irc.libera.chat

6667

This is what I use

ok ok shrini. Should I enable SSL?

also should i provide anything under the advanced options section? like Nickserv password, server password and commands to run to connect?

No

Just hostname, port, Nick name is enough for now

No need of SSL too

Just to check the connections

You can enable SSL later too

ok shrini. I will give a try. I think I exhausted the attempts. I need to wait for 11 more minutes

Ok

Thank you, shrini

How is your book reading?

And projects?

No update on the projects yet shrini. I have to still work on my billing app.

Ok

regarding reading.. I have last few episodes pending.. will complete in a day max, shrini

Nice

I think i got connected now shrini

I can still hear the songs from duruvangal book scenes

Good

Varun777: sugi hi

Hope it is too late for you

You can write your updates anytime

Will get from the logs

I can still hear the songs from duruvangal book scenes - very true.. added chinnakuyil and yamunai atrile songs to my list :)

couldn't quite get the other song that the girl sung at kayals home.. searching for it

Thanks Shrini. I am now able to connect to irccloud from my mobile

sethu_payilagam: chinnakuyil? you mean chinna kannan song?

yes mohan43u. The film name is chinnakuyil

:-)

sethu_payilagam: kavikuyil

:D I am sorry

got mixed up.. you are great mohan43u

sethu_payilagam: :)

The only sad thing about the book is, after finished the book, we feel miss that nice world.

help me get the details of the song that Karthika sing at Kayals home during pre-wedding ceremony

sethu_payilagam: that telugu song?

yes mohan43u

with all the appreciation that the group provides.i couldn't proceed without knowing the song. :D

sethu_payilagam: youtu.be/tfBanyJqwtk?si=66HAoI5vTrk3zjUt

❤️❤️🙏

Thanks mohan43u!

shrini-irccloud: >>we feel miss that nice world<< don't make me read that book again brother :)

Also I heard the other song that Madhan sung for the first time

what a song? #yeppo varuvano

i tried fixing a face and a voice for Madhan and tring to visualize.

mohan43u: join me ;)

sethu_payilagam: youtu.be/FAvsBGHa8ws?si=rWOv0shqtw73oyiV , this is the actual singer who sung that song

I have to read it again

super mohan43u. Thanks again

But the current open books are angry on me already

:)

share your inprogress list shrini

Books on drupal, scratch programming, digital archives, large language models are in current reading

Last week got few Tamil books from local library

Tho paramasivan bookd

Books

will complete these books and take duruvangal again

may in few weeks

I have to teach scratch for our condo/apartment kids

in this winter

and python for adults

few guys are asking me for excel macro class

will pull them to python

we should ask the duruvangal author natkeeran for the next part or new strory

excel macro? I heard excel have python support now

with new adventures like promotion, onsite etc along with gaming, python etc

excel support for python is on very recent versions only.

but most of them dont have recent version

still, will show them how python can help them to handle their work

payilagam muthu started a similar series for python

have to ask him to continue it

he is getting too busy nowadats

shrini: >>duruvangal author natkeeran for the next part or new strory<< hope he get a good story and enough time to write book like dhuruvangal again 😀

mohan43u: you too send him mail

ask him for a talk at kanchilug or ilugc mail

he ignores such requests always

atleast he should start the next book

>>you too send him mail<< yes, I should 😀

last week I spoke to Ranjith (member of ILUGC), he said he is going to talk a workshop on Linux in one Trichy Collage for ECE students. His friend is the HOD of that department in that collage. I ask him to make sure you direct the students to KanchiLUG and ILUGC meetings TLC for further help

^s/talk/take/g

penitrating into collage and schools is very difficult for FOSS groups like us

thats nice

I hope someone come to our group with good strategy to go to these schools and collages, we still dont have a good knowledge about how to apprach the schools and collages, we are stuck with our own work and day to day life.

school and colleges have their own goals and policies

they will hear the govt

or the companies who can do the campus selection

I have to teach scratch for our condo/apartment kids -super shrini. I wish we could be closer to each other.. :(

sethu_payilagam: its time for you learn and teach for your neighbor kids

learn scratch and teach

it is so easy

hi mahii

Hii shrini

Sure shrini

mahii: are you working on any project/

?

share any updates

Nope

interested to do?

how can we help?

yes

share some intro about you

so that we can pick some project for you to work on

shrini: okay

shrini: I'm Mahesh from Nellore, Andhra Pradesh. I've completed my BE in Computer Science from RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY in Chennai.

good

welcome

how do you know about this irc session?

shrini: Thanks

shrini: varun invited me

good

are you in chennai now?

join these mailing lists

add the google calendar link here, to your calendar

so that you can get to know about many events happening

mahii: do you know any programming languages?

read this blog and share your thoughts

mahii: if it is too late for you, you can join tomorrow also

start writing something daily here

dont be silent

read these links

shrini: no I'm in my hometown Nellore

shrini:I know python

shrini: I'll read

good mahi

are you using linux?

no

try to install ubuntu or linux mint in your computer

may be start as dual boot

before installing linux, take backup of all your data

it may wipe out entire disk

we can not recover deleted files

as you dont have any college courses related to any other Os, you can install linux and start using it completely

do you have any blog or git url?

I don't have blog

I'll use virtualbox to install linux

Is it okay?

no

you wont learn anything with virtualbox

it is like seeing videos to learn swimming

what are things you can do with python?

shrini: things means?

shrini: Dual boot it's not okay for me any other way?

mahii: what are your dependency on windows for now?

another question on python. I visited your git url

you have some python projects there

thats why asked what you can do with python

shrini: Currently using and we'll setted up so..

:-)

if you are still awake and can read, read this now and share your thoughts

shrini: okay

hi all

happy hacking

>2 lakh students complete their studies in Tamil Nadu

2 lakhs from cse alone????!!!

for all college degrees

they can study any degree and can enter into IT

ohk

in overall india its probably around 20 lakhs

may be

even if everyone of them have equally good skills, still 90% won't get jobs. it's very sad truth :(

we need to grow other industries in india

it will take time

in few decades, will happen

hmm

"When you use the Command Line, many things will become clearer to you." I'm convinced I'll try to install Linux.

:-)

welcome to the real world

shrini: Thanks for the guiding

explore the other links shared here today

start a blog at dev.to

and write about the learnings and the links daily

share the daily blog link here

shrini: "thats why asked what you can do with python" What you seen in my github, the projects all done by using ChatGPT

:-)

companies will start paying to chatgpt instead of employess, very soon

that why I asked, what you can do with python?

its ok to use stackoverflow, google search or ai tools

but what we know is important

Normal stuff like lists, strings

I can write code by logic apply that's all I can do

nice

that will be a good start

start building an addressbook

okay

I'll install Linux Tommorow

get name, streetname, city, phone number, email and store in a csv file

thats great

subscribe to the two mailing lists I shared abive

kanchilug and ilugc

shrini: Okay I'll do

mahii: make sure you understand what you are doing while installing Linux for dual boot, if you need help, ask here or in forums.tamillinuxcommunity.org (please mention you prefer english reply in Tamil Linux Community, because the replies will be in tamil by default in TLC)

mohan43u: Okay Got it

I suggest to go with only linux

take backup of all the data to another external disk

Install linux alone

so that you wont have to get into much trouble of dual boot

you can do all the things with linux itself

I am using linux for 20 years

never used windows in 20 years for any purpose

all my family members use only linux

they can also do all the things

dont waste time and efforts on dual boot

It's good to hear, but I'm fresher so I'll start to use dual boot Once if I like I'll go with it

thats why I ask to use only linux

with a fresher mindset, you can learn it quickly

switching to linux is like getting married

you should be either bachelor or a married parson

Haha

because you are a bachelor for 20+ years, will you hesitate to get married?

Nope

🤣

if you join a job, if the employer gives you a mac, will you ask for windows there?

Or dualboot ?

shrini: Got it but eventually I'll move forward to use Linux

i am moving my site to github pages with noip's subdomain

i will start writing blog soon

OK mahii

Good fury999io

:D

If you want to write more, start with Dev.to or WordPress.com

You can write more

If you have a good plarform

fury999io: "fury999.ddns.net" Good bro

:D

I am writing at goinggnu.wordpress.com/ from 2006

shrini-irccloud, writing on personalized site feels better

True

Hi shrini.. I will be coming to Mississauga this Saturday morning. I think I have your watsapp number. I will give you a call. If you free, we can meet. If not we can plan some other time.

But we will be doing other things than writing

sethu_payilagam: DM your number or on WhatsApp

Saturday morning I will be free

Let's meet

Sure shrini. I just messaged you in watsapp

Ok

fury999io: find one platform to write

Stay with that for long time

The more quick you can publish a post, the long you can write

People won't remember websites, URLs

Writing is only for us

alright

If you love to learn static site building, do it for some other purpose

Or for some open source projects

Join the web team for any project and ask how can you help

>Join the web team for any project

shrini-irccloud, web team of the lug?

of any project

ilugc.in also a static site

you can contribute to that

or for any other FOSS software

all FOSS software need a website

there are many software that dont have any website

ohk

first i need to learn webdev properly

i have just started

ok

by doing only we can learn

if we keep learning and postpone doing, we wont start doing

check for any software that dont have a website

then, build a site for it

then inform about it in their dev mailing list

do the same for few more

you will learn a lot by doing this

you will get good content and experience
