| PriceChild | *hasn't logged on for several hours* | 00:03 |
| PriceChild | wait... thought i was on as pricey | 00:03 |
| PriceChild | gah wrong network | 00:03 |
| PriceChild | *smacks xchat for being so slow to refresh things on startup* | 00:03 |
| * jrib gives PriceChild a cookie | 00:03 | |
| * crdlb gives PriceChild irssi | 00:03 | |
| crdlb | speaking of irssi, is there anything better out there than auto_bleh.pl? | 00:08 |
| nalioth | better in what way? | 00:08 |
| crdlb | more powerful? :) | 00:08 |
| jrib | ability to slap a user? | 00:09 |
| crdlb | like auto_bleh doesn't support unbanning by nick lookup afaict | 00:09 |
| nalioth | crdlb: you should track down goert and find out where his suggestion box is | 00:10 |
| Pici | crdlb: I think sev.eas or j.dong were working on a version of the xchat script for irssi. | 00:21 |
| crdlb | that would be great, too bad there's no python script support :( | 00:22 |
| crdlb | if there were, I'd do it :) | 00:22 |
| jdong | Pici: yeah, I volunteered to do that | 00:22 |
| jdong | it's not the python->perl that'll take a long time, as I've said before... | 00:22 |
| Pici | jdong: did that hilight you? | 00:22 |
| jdong | it's the xchat API -> irssi API | 00:23 |
| jdong | Pici: you'd be surprised :) | 00:23 |
| crdlb | jdong: well yeah, but I could handle that, I just don't want to learn perl :) | 00:24 |
| jdong | Pici: is it weird to have a regexp hilight? :) | 00:44 |

| Tm_T | hi kids | 02:36 |
| mneptok | buongiorno, padrone. | 02:39 |
| LjL | i see your italian has improved | 02:40 |
| LjL | (or you've started to use babelfish instead) | 02:41 |
| * jdong opts with the latter | 02:41 | |
| jdong | that would be a sweet irssi script though | 02:41 |
| jdong | something like /translate german foobar | 02:41 |
| * LjL suspects it too, given that "padrone" would be a likely babelfish translation for "sir" | 02:41 | |
| LjL | jdong, i kind of suspect there are plenty of those around already | 02:41 |
| LjL | there was a babelfish script for AmIRC | 02:42 |
| jdong | LjL: don't tell me that... you know I'll just set it to randomized languages and walk around all day speaking incoherent mixes of languages :) | 02:42 |
| LjL | jdong: meh, learn to do that without babelfish | 02:42 |
| LjL | actually learning languages is hard | 02:43 |
| jdong | oui senior. | 02:43 |
| LjL | but learning enough of them to create incoherent mixes is fun | 02:43 |
| LjL | precis det jag sade | 02:43 |
| mneptok | LjL: i meant it in the Sicilian sense ;) | 02:51 |
| Tm_T | LjL: jag tycker om inte dig | 02:52 |
| mneptok | stjel sølvet, brenn byen, voldta fjærfeet. | 02:52 |
| LjL | mneptok: you know, now that REALLY makes no sense to me | 02:53 |
| mneptok | the "padrone" or the Nyorsk? | 02:53 |
| LjL | Tm_T: jag vill inte gillas | 02:53 |
| LjL | mneptok: the latter | 02:53 |
| Tm_T | LjL: hoppas det | 02:53 |
| mneptok | "loot the silver. burn the town. rape the poultry." | 02:53 |
| mneptok | i learned it in Viking Basic Training | 02:54 |
| LjL | hm, i guess i could have guessed brenn byn | 02:54 |
| LjL | i only learned that många pengar små blir till en stor å | 02:54 |
| Tm_T | what you say about that Creationist nick? | 02:55 |
| Tm_T | against some rule? | 02:55 |
| LjL | hm | 02:57 |
| LjL | nah | 02:57 |
| Tm_T | so I can do /nick Judish then? | 02:57 |
| Tm_T | or, Satanist | 02:58 |
| LjL | look the "nick issue" comes up once in a while... to me it's a case where one should judge by common sense on a case-by-case basis | 02:58 |
| LjL | to my common sense, "creationist" as a nickname is not insulting or anything | 02:59 |
| Tm_T | not more than "satanist" | 02:59 |
| Tm_T | in some point of way, they're the same | 02:59 |
| LjL | Tm_T: what about ToHellWithGA, who we've never asked to change nickname? (poor him, he's always brought up as an example when talking about nickname issues :) | 03:01 |
| Tm_T | never seen him | 03:01 |
| LjL | he's an -offtopic regular | 03:01 |
| * mneptok nods | 03:01 | |
| LjL | anyway, he's in #kubuntu and you're a #kubuntu op - ask him to change his nickname if you think he should. just be prepared to argue with him :) | 03:02 |
| nalioth | who are we talking about? | 03:02 |
| Tm_T | anyway, I'm off, have fun and dont forget, all you need is love (kickbans) love (kickbans) -> | 03:02 |
| LjL | nalioth: Creationist, in #ubuntu | 03:03 |
| LjL | questionable nickname according to Tm_T | 03:03 |
| nalioth | let him be | 03:03 |
| nalioth | jesus and god and yahweh are around here somewhere, too | 03:03 |
| LjL | Yahovah you mean | 03:03 |
| nalioth | that, too | 03:04 |
| mneptok | it's "YHWH" ;) | 03:05 |
| LjL | that's his ident, yes | 03:05 |
| tritium | I don't see how labeling oneself as a creationist is offensive. It's self-identifying. | 03:05 |
| tritium | Unless we think identifying ourselves as ubunteros, ubuntu members, etc. might offend redhat users, etc. | 03:06 |
| LjL | tritium: well gnomefreak was considering temporary dropping his cloak to be taken seriously in ##windows, i believe ;) | 03:06 |
| LjL | anyway, i agree i find it an alright nickname | 03:06 |
| tritium | was he? :) | 03:07 |
| LjL | tritium: well but in the end he kept it afaik :) | 03:07 |
| Tm_T | hey, I didnt say he's offending :p | 03:07 |
| tritium | :) | 03:07 |
| Tm_T | and no I'm not irc addict | 03:07 |
| LjL | Tm_T: i think we should distinguish !o4o from "what's allowed as a nickname". the latter should just "be respectful", imho, we shouldn't restrict people's nickname to anything that might have a remote possibility of starting a flamewar | 03:08 |
| Tm_T | I know | 03:08 |
| Tm_T | I mostly asked if it is offending or anything | 03:08 |
| LjL | say, the guy who still often joins here (because he's still banforwarded, and still doesn't get it), "pigcum"... that's what i won't allow as a nickname - that's just offensive | 03:09 |
| LjL | but creationist, or even satanist... sure, there's a line somewhere | 03:09 |
| Tm_T | yup | 03:09 |
| Tm_T | though xp_killer or wii isnt allowed ;--P | 03:10 |
| LjL | well that's another matter =) | 03:10 |
| Tm_T | LjL: I find them both offensive | 03:10 |
| Tm_T | but I was going away, was I? | 03:11 |
| LjL | you said you would | 03:11 |
| tritium | Tm_T: how is it offensive? | 03:11 |
| Tm_T | tritium: both reminds me of him | 03:11 |
| LjL | Tm_T: you also said something about kickbans, want some? will help with the going away :P | 03:11 |
| tritium | Tm_T: him being who? | 03:11 |
| Tm_T | tritium: himself | 03:12 |
| LjL | are we running in circles here? :o) | 03:12 |
| tritium | Tm_T: please specify the offense | 03:12 |
| Tm_T | tritium: big annoyance for all ops in freenode ? | 03:12 |
| LjL | tritium, xp_killer aka wii aka mii aka god-knows-what is a known annoying troll who's banned from #ubuntu, #ubuntu-fr and #compiz-fusion at least | 03:12 |
| Tm_T | though apparently not you | 03:12 |
| Tm_T | and #kubuntu and ummm | 03:13 |
| tritium | I've not run across him. | 03:13 |
| Tm_T | and atleast one kline | 03:13 |
| LjL | tritium: possibly because he's banned from the world ;) | 03:13 |
| Tm_T | if no more | 03:13 |
| tritium | LjL: ;) | 03:13 |
| LjL | Tm_T: i think at least two | 03:13 |
| Tm_T | anyway, this old hermit is heading off finally, hugs -> | 03:13 |
| LjL | anyway, i'm going to be as well | 03:13 |
| tritium | Tm_T: I thought you found "creationist" offensive | 03:13 |
| tritium | That's what I was asking about. | 03:14 |

| LjL | Pici, i think it doesn't hurt. after all, we're still crawling out of the "bans can only be removed by the banner" unwritten policy, and i still think it's a policy that has merits in many cases (it's often hard to actually grasp the entire deal by just looking at the logs), so being cautious is fine with me | 16:22 |

| ubotu | Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network). - BitTorrent: see !torrent - Direct connect: try valknut. - Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information. | 23:44 |
| LjL | !no p2p is <reply> Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !Edonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information | 23:44 |
| Pici | Did you setup !factoids for all of those? | 23:45 |
| LjL | Pici: 'course | 23:45 |
| Pici | I had to clean up the !ftp and !ftpd factoids because none existed for any of them. | 23:45 |
| LjL | just check them out and see if there's anything to add - or to remove, for that matter, i don't know if some of the clients suck | 23:45 |
| Pici | I dont do p2p file sharing | 23:46 |
| LjL | otoh, i never thought it was such a good thing to have Limewire and Frostwire prominently in !p2p, as they're not even in the repositories | 23:46 |
| LjL | (which is the main reason i started making these changes) | 23:46 |
| Pici | Ah. | 23:46 |
| Pici | Are they in the wiki page? | 23:46 |
| LjL | Pici, i created !ftp and !ftpd back when !<package> was automatically an alias for !info <package> (which was later removed due to bot load) | 23:46 |
| Pici | LjL: Ah. | 23:47 |
| * Pici wanders around | 23:47 | |
| LjL | Pici: yeah, they're mentioned on the page, and they have their own wiki pages | 23:48 |
| LjL | i suppose i should let those ones have '!' | 23:48 |
| LjL | anyway, it would still be good if !<package> worked... :\ | 23:48 |
| gerro | I'd like to appeal a ban imposed by LjL, I was trying to help someone delete a folder and told them to do rm -Rf it deletes anything. LjL did !whatworksforyou or something along those lines then proceeded to comment to a user that /usr should only ever be used by apt and never touched so I did !whatworksforyou or whatever comment it was. I think it is unjust to ban someone because they do things differently. | 23:50 |
| LjL | gerro: it would be unjust indeed. however, you certainly do realize that we simply want certain things to be done in a certain ways, and do NOT support (or want people to support) other unsupported ways. | 23:51 |
| LjL | but that's not really the point, even | 23:51 |
| LjL | what i really did not understand was the !worksforme you did to me - i hadn't, i think, said anything that "worked for me", so it looked like you were simply trolling me | 23:52 |
| LjL | [Fri Nov 2 2007] [20:17:29] <gerro> Le_Fou`Absent: may programs use /usr not just apt, its like the place to put general applications | 23:53 |
| LjL | [Fri Nov 2 2007] [20:17:51] <LjL> gerro: which should only be put there by APT, yes (except for /usr/local) | 23:53 |
| LjL | [Fri Nov 2 2007] [20:18:18] <Le_Fou`Absent> ok gerro | 23:53 |
| LjL | [Fri Nov 2 2007] [20:20:45] <gerro> !worksforme | LjL | 23:53 |
| LjL | [Fri Nov 2 2007] [20:20:56] Quit gerro has left this server ("Leaving"). | 23:53 |
| gerro | APT is not a physical entity LjL it is your own computer | 23:53 |
| LjL | you did this, and then left suddenly | 23:53 |
| gerro | yeah I come and go | 23:53 |
| LjL | gerro, that doesn't mean you should give people bad advice | 23:53 |
| LjL | YOU are perfectly free to put whatever cruft you like in /usr | 23:53 |
| gerro | I give people advice its their judgement what is bad | 23:53 |
| LjL | but you must also understand that you are NOT expected to encourage people to do likewise, in #ubuntu | 23:54 |
| gerro | I do it for free and don't ask for anything in return that is the idea behind irc | 23:54 |
| nalioth | gerro: doing it for free doesn't give you license to give bad advice | 23:54 |
| LjL | it's not only their judgement, it's also our judgement. "ours" as in "the operator's". we DO determine what is supposed by us, and what is discouraged. | 23:54 |
| gerro | I did not break anyones system | 23:54 |
| LjL | are you willing to accept that? | 23:54 |
| LjL | s/supposed/supported/ | 23:55 |
| mneptok | < gerro> I give people advice its their judgement what is bad <---- totally unacceptable | 23:55 |
| mneptok | we're talking about a lot of new users here. | 23:55 |
| mneptok | they don't understand how things work. | 23:55 |
| gerro | I'll refrain from speaking on #ubuntu then | 23:55 |
| mneptok | by your logic, i could tell a child that if they stick a gun in their mouth and pull the trigger they'll get candy. and if any kids die, well that's their own fault. | 23:56 |
| gerro | I refuse to agree with LjL and I dislike undermining the intelligence of others... | 23:56 |
| tonyyarusso | Same goes for #xubuntu and all other channels, btw. | 23:56 |
| mneptok | gerro: saying "if a user takes my bad advice and breaks their system, that's not my fault. i can tell people to do whatever i want." is very much not in the spirit of the CoC! | 23:57 |
| mneptok | -! | 23:57 |
| JanC | gerro: even a very intelligent kid doesn't know what harm a gun can do without being told | 23:57 |
| mneptok | gerro: helping people on public IRC channels is a responsibility. not a game. | 23:58 |
| JanC | that's why you don't give loaded guns to kids to play with | 23:58 |
| gerro | I will not condescend to considering the other users of ubuntu kids.. | 23:59 |
| Seeker` | gerro: Quite a few users are kids, or people who are just starting out | 23:59 |
