svayeAlright jelkner 12:05
jelknerit would be great to get you all certified in HTML and even JavaScript12:05
jelknerthat's what we do with our 1st year students12:05
jelknerand even if your focus will be business12:05
jelknerfor a web tech co-op, it will help if *everyone* has a basic understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript12:05
jelknerthat should be a common understanding among all of us12:06
jelknerthomasboimah, dcammue, you will be in the Django class today, yes?12:06

Karaaaaaso one of the devs responded to the discussion i created and said that we were welcome to contribute. he directed us towards their CONTRIBUTING.md file for guidelines16:43
jelknernice Karaaaaa16:43

*** thomasboimah has quit (Quit: Leaving)16:49
dcammueokay jelkner 16:50
dcammuehi Penrosian 16:50
jelknerwe've had a breakthrough on BT16:50
*** dcammue has quit (Remote host closed the connection)16:50
jelknerso as business managers, dcammue, we need to set a clear goal of getting it setup to track our servers, our projects, our work hours, our tasks (ToDos)16:51
jelknerdcammue: what is the status of Starlink?16:51
jelknerhave you looked into it?16:51
dcammuehold-on on Mr. Zawolo16:52
jelkneryou mean funding?16:52
jelkneri'm asking about investigation first16:52
jelknerhave you researched it well enough to feel confident we should do it?16:52
dcammueit is 380 USD here, and from 5o upward for per month16:53
dcammue+1 i did16:53
jelknerwhat do you mean 50 upward?16:53
dcammueit is supper strong16:53
jelknerremember, we are making a budget16:53
jelkneri heard it was fast and unlimited16:53
jelknerso it sounded like what we want16:53
jelknerbut we need to watch the cost16:53
jelknerwhat do you mean 50 upward?16:54
jelknerhow much will it cost per month16:54
jelkneri get the $380 one time cost16:54
jelkneri'm worried about the monthy fee16:54
jelknerwhat can you tell me?16:54
dcammueeven local air ports are using it here for their traffic communication16:54
dcammueYes, it is fast and unlimited16:54
*** dcammue has quit (Remote host closed the connection)16:54
jelknerwhat about the cost?16:55
dcammuewow, just dropping16:55
jelknerlol, that's because you don't have starlink16:56
dcammueseems like LoneStar has network issue16:56
*** dcammue has quit (Remote host closed the connection)16:56
jelknerso, my friend, you're still not answering my 50 upwards question16:57
dcammueThe $50 upward is the monthly price16:57
jelknerwhat does "upward" mean?16:57
jelkner$100?16:58
jelkner$500?16:58
jelknerupward can be anything16:58
jelknerwe can't write upward into our budget16:58
jelknerwe need to know what that means16:58
jelknerdoes that make sense?16:58
dcammueWe can pay $50 if we choose to or 100 per month16:58
jelknerwhy would we choose $100?16:58
jelknerwhat do you get for the extra cost?16:59
jelknerthat's what you need to investigate16:59
dcammue+1 that means the month fees16:59
jelknerdcammue: we are talking in circles16:59
jelkneryou're not understanding me16:59
jelknerready?16:59
dcammueThat why i said, the lower month cost is $5017:00
jelknerdcammue: are you ready?17:00
jelknertell me +1 or yes when you are ready17:00
dcammueOkay, make me understanding17:00
jelknerok, you're the vendor17:00
jelkneri'm the customer17:00
jelknermr. vendor, what is my monthly cost if i purchase startlink service from you?17:01
jelknernow you, mr. vendor, need to answer me17:01
zOnnyHello World!17:01
jelknerACTION waits patiently for mr. vendor to answer17:01
jelknerzOnny: so great to see you here!!!17:02
dcammue50, 100 or 150 it is optional17:02
jelknerlol17:02
zOnnyjelkner: Great to know your students are setting up BT 17:02
jelkneroh really, mr. vendor, i like to loose money, so i would want to pay $150, right?17:02
jelknerwhat do i get for $150?17:02
dcammueYou choose what you can afford 17:02
dcammueNot them17:02
jelknerbut what do you get?17:03
jelknerwhat is the difference?17:03
jelknerwhat do you give me for $50, what do you give me for $100 and what do you give me for $15017:03
dcammuejelkner: i have a range of month cost17:03
zOnnyACTION leaves the room because is feeling the heat 17:03
*** zOnny has quit (None)17:04
jelknerdcammue: i'm going to get tboimah to explain this17:04
jelknersince i am failing17:04
jgurarahttps://gitlab.com/novawebdevelopment/business-tracker17:06
jelknerlol, you're back zOnny 17:07
zOnnyyes jgurara 17:08
zOnnydo you have any questions17:08
jelknerPenrosian just found a bug in BT17:08
jelknerhe is filing an issue now17:08
zOnnyPenrosian: what is the bug?17:08
zOnnyjelkner: nice!17:08
jelknerthat's awesome!17:08
Penrosianyou'll see in the issue17:08
zOnnyPenrosian: we need to kill the bug with the bug killer spray17:09
jelknerdcammue: are you still here17:10
jelkner?17:10
jelknerhello dcammue17:10
*** dcammue has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)17:11
jelknerzOnny: issue created17:12
zOnnyACTION goes to see what is the bug about17:12
zOnnyPenrosian: is this in your local machine?17:14
Penrosianno17:15
jelknerwow, dcammue, you're having a lot of trouble with your connection17:16
Penrosianit's there on tracker.jetrowebdevelopment.org17:16
jelknerare you back now?17:16
dcammue+117:16
dcammueI don't know17:16
jelkneri think i can try another approach to explaining what i am asking17:16
jelknerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(computing)17:16
jelknertake a look at that page, dcammue 17:17
jelkneri teach my students in the first year i have them that "It's all just bits!"17:17
jelknerwhen you purchase "service" from Starlink17:17
zOnnyPenrosian: can you paste an screenshot17:18
zOnnyPenrosian: on the issue17:18
jelkneryou are renting access to a technology that allows you to move bits back and forth on the Internet17:18
dcammueIt is from LoneStart network(MTN)17:18
jelkneryes, i know17:18
jelkneri'm talking about starlink now17:18
Penrosianadded17:18
jelknerinternet service is measured in *bandwidth*17:19
dcammueYes17:19
jelknerbandwidth is a rate17:19
jelknera rate is the ratio of some meaure to a period of time17:19
zOnnyPenrosian: yes, that is how it should work17:19
jelknerdo in the case of bandwidth, it us measured in bits/second17:20
dcammueYou were asking me question17:20
jelkneri'm hoping to ask you a question17:20
zOnnyPenrosian: Business Tracker does not allow to reset your password if an email ins't associated with it17:20
jelknerbut i need you to understand first17:20
jelkneror we will go around in circles again17:20
Penrosianyeah it's not a bug, but it's a small security vulnerability to do that. the proper way to do it is to always tell the client the same thing regardless of whether there is an account or not17:20
zOnnyPenrosian: Business Tracker doesn't allow to create an account17:20
jelknerif you don't understand bandwidth, you won't be able to answer my question, and we will need to get thomas to do it.17:21
jelknerif you can understand bandwidth, you will be able to do the investigation, and answer my question17:21
jelknerare you getting me?17:21
zOnnyPenrosian: what do you propose? 17:22
dcammue+117:23
Penrosianjust have it say something like "an email has been sent to that address if an account with it exists" or something similar, you can see examples in most web apps with a password reset functionality17:23
Penrosianif you want to know about the specific vulnerability here's an article https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2017/06/15/about-user-enumeration/17:24
zOnnyPenrosian: I see17:24
jelknerdcammue: this is a learning task for you, since i know it is new to you17:24
zOnnyPenrosian: Yes, We can add a message if the email is associated with an account17:25
jelknerbut we can't make an informed decision about Internet service until you (or someone at Jetro) learns about bandwidth and bandwidth limits17:25
jelknerhttps://starlink.com/lr/service-plans/personal17:26
jelknerhttps://starlink.com/lr/service-plans/business17:26
jelknerdcammue: are you seeing these links?17:27
dcammueYes17:27
dcammueI am.looking into them17:27
jelknerso let me leave you with your homework17:27
dcammueOkay17:27
dcammueThanks17:27
dcammueI will make  a draft and share it17:28
jelknerwhen you look at the business plans, you see plans for $28/month, $71/month, $125/month17:28
zOnnyACTION signs off for the day17:29
*** zOnny has quit (Quit: Page closed)17:29
jelkner$232/month, etc.17:29
jelknerwhat is *different* about those plans? (and *please* don't tell me the price!! ;-)17:30
jelknerdcammue: can you answer that question, or do you want me to?17:33
dcammueThe prosonal plan and business plan has big differences17:33
jelkneryes, but what is the difference?17:33
jelkner*not* the price17:33
jelknerwhat is it that differs among the business plans?17:33
dcammueThe personal plan is plug and play setup relaize on the weather condition17:34
jelknernope, that's not it17:34
jelknerok, let me try to explain17:34
dcammueWhile the business plan has two plans17:34
jelkneryou are not getting the main thing17:34
jelknerdcammue: let's finish with this17:34
jelkneri will try to explain here in the chat17:35
dcammueSingle country land use and in-motion use17:35
jelknercan you promise me you will follow up with tboihman, and show him the chat, when he feels better?17:35
dcammueAnd global use and in motion use17:35
jelknersingle country or in-motion is not important to us17:35
dcammue+1 promise17:35
jelknerthe office is stationary, so that doesn't matter17:35
jelknerhere is what matters: 50GB or 500GB or 1TB or 2TB17:36
jelknerdo you see that is what is different between the plans?17:36
dcammue+117:36
jelknerdo you know what those values are?17:36
dcammueData range17:37
jelkneryes!17:37
jelknerper month17:37
jelknerdata limit, actually17:37
dcammue++17:37
jelknerif you are a business, you can purchase a subscription for $28 per month17:37
jelknerbut if you use more than 50GB, you get cut off17:38
jelknerthat is *not* unlimited17:38
jelknerthat is a limit17:38
jelknernow, the Jetro office is just an apartment, yes?17:38
dcammue+117:38
jelknerif you establish your residency there17:38
jelkneri think we may be able to get away with a residential plan17:39
jelknerpersonal, i mean17:39
jelknerfor $50/MO you get unlimited17:39
jelkneri'm not sure we can do that17:39
jelknerbut if you live there, and all the other member are just your guests17:39
jelknermaybe we can17:40
jelkneryou need to investigate17:40
jelknerask around17:40
dcammue+1 let think it through17:40
jelknerinvestigate17:40
jelkneryou need to ask, not just think17:40
dcammueSure17:40
jelknerthis is want we need to do when we are running a business17:40
jelknerwe need to learn by investigating17:40
dcammueI will get on the field and questions17:41
jelkneri'm not sure $50GB will be enough17:41
jelknerthat means if we go with a business plan, $71 per month is what it would cost17:41
jelkneri think 500GB will be enough17:42
dcammueI can not say yes, because we need to know how fast the $50/mo 50GB goes17:42
jelkneri will tell you, you will learn a lot from that exercise17:42
jelkneryou'll learn tech skills17:42
dcammueI will17:42
jelknerfor example, if the 7 of you need an Uncle Bob video17:43
jelknerthat is 1GB17:43
jelknerand all 7 of you download it17:43
jelknerthere goes 7GB17:43
jelknerbut if one of you downloads it17:43
jelknerand shares it with the others in the office17:43
jelkneryou only used 1GB17:43
jelknersince we need to minimize cost, you need to use it efficiently17:44
jelknervideo conference use a lot of data17:44
dcammue+117:44
jelknerso you need to be careful how much you use17:44
jelknerbut we want to make sure you use it when you need it17:45
dcammueThat right17:45
jelknerit seems like you can pay as you go on a business plan17:46
jelknerif you need more than 500GB17:46
jelkneryou can get another 500GB for $5417:46
jelknerLocal priority means you can move all over Liberia17:47
jelknerany, we are making progress17:47
jelknerbut you need to study this, talk to Thomas, and make sure you understand the budgeting required17:47
jelknermake sense?17:47
dcammue++17:48
dcammue+117:48
jelknergreat17:48
