| ubot3 | In #ubuntu, soundray said: ubot3, no, Vista is the best incentive to learn Linux, says Pelo | 00:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Pici | Anyone else see evidence of what pelo is reporting? | 00:51 |
| PriceChild | No idea. | 00:52 |
| stdin | I see 2 people join/part quite quickly, but nothing worrying | 00:53 |
| Pici | /clones returns nothing to be alarmed about either | 00:53 |
| Pici | Hmm.. There are a lot of root_*s in #kubuntu (again) | 01:46 |
| LjL | Pici: i'll kick them (again) | 01:46 |
| nalioth | :( | 01:47 |
| LjL | hmm... | 01:58 |
| LjL | i will have to take down the bots for the whole night. the "new" server's PSU is making a grinding noise, and that's not good to left on during the night | 01:59 |
| Hobbsee | ouchy | 02:00 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: twas like the most unfortunate server upgrade evah | 02:00 |
| Hobbsee | heh | 02:00 |
| nickrud | Hobbsee: I just want you to know, you are the reason I had to install a 32bit os ;) | 02:01 |
| Hobbsee | nickrud: oh? | 02:02 |
| nickrud | lightning in thunderbird, couldn't find one for 64bit | 02:02 |
| Hobbsee | ahhhh | 02:02 |
| nalioth | nickrud: it compiles on 64bit | 02:03 |
| nickrud | nalioth: you know I hate compiling ;) | 02:04 |
| Seeker` | Hobbsee: If its worth anything (which I suspect it isn't :P), I agree with your email about IRSEEK | 02:04 |
| nalioth | what email? | 02:05 |
| Hobbsee | Seeker`: feel free to add it | 02:05 |
| PriceChild | nalioth: ubuntu-irc ML | 02:05 |
| Hobbsee | nalioth: you were right. she'll never be happy | 02:06 |
| Seeker` | hmm, either my mail is slow, or the list doesn't like it | 02:23 |
| nickrud | why? It's just window dressing, removing irseek | 02:24 |
| Seeker` | nickrud: what do you mean? | 02:24 |
| nickrud | the logs are still taken, and as Hobbsee says in the mail, there's nothing keeping someone from wgetting them and doing whatever | 02:25 |
| Seeker` | nickrud: Do you agree that the IRSEEK logging is superfluous? | 02:26 |
| nickrud | Seeker`: superfluous yes. As tonyyarruso replied, should it be forbidden? | 02:26 |
| nickrud | what's to stop them from just running xchat and logging into channels they want to copy? With all the idlers, who'd know? | 02:27 |
| Seeker` | as my reply states (if it ever arrives), if noone actively wants it there, and it is superfluous, what harm is there in removing them? | 02:27 |
| nickrud | I'm just saying the issue way overblown. | 02:28 |
| Seeker` | People have expressed a dislike for these bots, and, as far as I am aware, everyone else doesn't really care whether they are there or not. IMO it would be easier to remove the redundant bots than to convince the people concerned about privacy that the bots probably aren't doing any harm | 02:28 |
| Seeker` | If you dont upset anyone by removing them | 02:29 |
| no0tic | what's to stop them just to grab ubuntulog's logs and do whatever they want? So, why forbid them to log directly? | 02:29 |
| Seeker` | if ubuntulogs' logs are there and are perfectly good, why not just tell them to use that directly? | 02:30 |
| Hobbsee | no0tic: absolutely nothing. | 02:30 |
| nickrud | And then the people who are expecting some form of privacy are totally misled. Seems cleaner to acknowledge they are using the logs by letting them be present themselves. | 02:31 |
| no0tic | indeed | 02:31 |
| Seeker` | It should be in the topic of the logged channels that they are logged, but that is a different matter | 02:32 |
| no0tic | could our logs be released under a certain license? | 02:32 |
| nickrud | then refusing other bots would make some sense | 02:32 |
| Hobbsee | Seeker`: it's in the guidelines, mentioned from the topic... | 02:33 |
| Hobbsee | no0tic: no one could actually police it | 02:33 |
| Seeker` | Hobbsee: I thought it might have been, but I'm too tired to go looking :) | 02:33 |
| Hobbsee | along with all the rest of the useful stuff that shoudl be in the topic, but doesn't fit. | 02:34 |
| Seeker` | heh | 02:34 |
| no0tic | how many users complained? | 02:34 |
| Hobbsee | a few | 02:34 |
| Hobbsee | most were in /query | 02:34 |
| no0tic | a relevant percentage of 1200? | 02:35 |
| nickrud | how many were incited? | 02:35 |
| Seeker` | I doubt that anyone will complain abotu the lack of IRSEEK bots. Surely if there is a solution that will make x users happy and 0 unhappy, that is the best option? | 02:35 |
| Seeker` | no0tic: define a "relevant percentage"? | 02:36 |
| no0tic | 5/10% | 02:36 |
| no0tic | 60/120 users, I think it's a good percentage | 02:36 |
| Seeker` | thats quite a lot | 02:36 |
| LjL | no0tic: what makes you think IRC logs are eligible for a license to begin with? | 02:37 |
| no0tic | LjL, nothing, I'm only brainstorming to find out a possible solution | 02:37 |
| Seeker` | no0tic: The SU at my uni needs 100 signatures out of ~10,000 students to call an EGM | 02:37 |
| no0tic | ok, let's take 1% | 02:38 |
| nalioth | tbh, i've only heard one user complain about the irseek bots | 02:38 |
| Hobbsee | i had more in query, but i dont' remember hwo they were now | 02:39 |
| no0tic | anyway.. I think it could be dangerous to bend to few users complaining for something like that. Anyone here has logs of almost everything happens in #ubuntu* channels and anybody could do whatever they want with those | 02:39 |
| Hobbsee | no0tic: agreed, but still. | 02:39 |
| Hobbsee | no0tic: if anything, it's setting a precedent for anyone to bring a logging bot in there | 02:40 |
| Hobbsee | which cna then be known-malicious | 02:40 |
| Hobbsee | or a bot which logs, and does other things too | 02:40 |
| nickrud | it is true, it only takes one person to bring up a valid point (not ready to call this one one, though) | 02:40 |
| Seeker` | what harm is done by removing the bots? | 02:41 |
| Hobbsee | Seeker`: very little, i suspect | 02:41 |
| nickrud | hm. Didn't I once hear of a 'no bot's' policy once? | 02:41 |
| Hobbsee | nickrud: yeah, excluding official ubuntu cloaked ones | 02:41 |
| LjL | nickrud: no bots unless authorized, and these ones currently are. | 02:41 |
| no0tic | are there effective methods to check whether a "user" is a bot or else? | 02:43 |
| * nickrud just hates being demagoged | 02:43 | |
| LjL | Seeker`, Hobbsee: what harm is done by removing Google (after all, all the content is available somewhere else)? yet some harm is done. searchable logs, not limited to Ubuntu channels, in a central place, can be an asset. and remember that the "percentage" of people complaining about them is about the same percentage as the people who complain, uuuh, about just everything we do? | 02:43 |
| LjL | no0tic: turing test | 02:43 |
| no0tic | LjL, and if he simply doesn't reply? | 02:44 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: if you're doing that, it's spam, no? :) | 02:44 |
| LjL | no0tic: then you're screwed. | 02:44 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: hm? | 02:44 |
| nalioth | no0tic: there are ways, yes | 02:45 |
| * nalioth will not share his methods | 02:45 | |
| Hobbsee | LjL: giving people turing tests | 02:45 |
| LjL | there are no ways | 02:45 |
| Seeker` | LjL: But all of the ubuntu logs are stored in 1, easily accessible place, then typing "ubuntu irc logs" will get them all of them | 02:45 |
| Seeker` | it doesn't reduce acessibility | 02:45 |
| no0tic | nalioth, ok, I trust in your methods, don't want to know anything else | 02:45 |
| LjL | nalioth likes to insist there are, and i'm sure there *are* for most practical purposes (such as bots hanging in many channels, for instance, or little glitches in CTCP replies, or dubious hosts, etc) | 02:46 |
| LjL | but generally speaking, i really, really think there is no conceivable way to tell a bot from a user, aside from a turing test | 02:46 |
| * nickrud considers thumbsrcrews for nalioth | 02:46 | |
| nalioth | LjL: it may not be a "bot" per se, but a userless client and a cronjob that scps to a web enabled page | 02:48 |
| * Seeker` goes to bed, almost an hour after thinking "I'll just see what this 1 email is..." | 02:48 | |
| Seeker` | s/.../before bed.../ | 02:49 |
| no0tic | Seeker`, 'night | 02:49 |
| LjL | nalioth: so, you're telling me that if i have a perfectly normal client (and take care to make my so my idle time never gets ridiculous), not in an overly large amount of channels, and post some irc-related thing to some *other* machine (via scp or something), you can track that? | 02:52 |
| Hobbsee | nalioth: has evil ways :P | 02:53 |
| no0tic | LjL, let's suppose I have my logs in my public_html, no scp in between :) | 02:53 |
| LjL | no0tic: well in that case it doesn't take very much to spot them | 02:55 |
| no0tic | LjL, rigth | 02:55 |
| band4life | LjL? | 02:58 |
| LjL | band4life? | 02:59 |
| band4life | ljl i was hoping to be allowed to return today | 03:05 |
| LjL | oh, i see. your nickname made me think you were banned for life and evading | 03:05 |
| LjL | must have been wrong | 03:06 |
| band4life | well im here to ask to get back in, and change my nick. | 03:06 |
| LjL | well look, tell you what | 03:09 |
| LjL | i find it important for my actions to be reviewed and make sure i'm not getting off the right track | 03:10 |
| LjL | so when you say | 03:10 |
| LjL | <band4life> true, but from what I gathered at other channels my banning is not unheard of. Infact it is common. So if I am going to continue to be mistreated, I am going to report some of the ops. | 03:10 |
| LjL | perhaps you should go on and do that | 03:10 |
| band4life | LJL so what you are saying is that you are going to extend my ban? | 03:15 |
| LjL | extend? i don't think i said it *would* be lifted | 03:16 |
| LjL | i think i probably told you to come back in some days, and that was likely before you went up ranting in #freenode as well | 03:16 |
| emma | is Hobbsee here? | 03:36 |
| PriceChild | emma: anything I might be able to help with instead? | 03:36 |
| emma | No I'm afraid not. | 03:36 |
| emma | I'll try to find her later. Take care. | 03:39 |
| * Hobbsee was busy. | 03:46 | |
| Hobbsee | patience, patience. | 03:46 |
| tonyyarusso | Hobbsee: she's still online if you want it... | 03:53 |
| Hobbsee | tonyyarusso: not overly. | 03:55 |
| Hobbsee | :) | 03:55 |
| nickrud | chicken | 04:23 |
| Hobbsee | nickrud: who, me? | 04:23 |
| nickrud | nah ;) | 04:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | We need to keep an eye on Zcat | 04:53 |
| tonyyarusso | eh, perhaps. lastlog looks pretty okay | 04:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | He was giving detailed info on how to write a virus in linux earlier in ubuntu.. | 04:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | A new user comes into the channel and is excited does not need to be greeted with <zcat[1]> petercoh7: the feeling wears off, you find out that ubuntu has bugs too and is just another OS :) | 04:56 |
| tonyyarusso | didn't see that first one | 04:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Several hours ago... | 04:59 |
| nickrud | lol, well it is just another os | 05:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Maybe so, but you dont slap a new user that is excited about it.. THat is just rude | 05:01 |
| nalioth | civility is welcomed here | 05:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I dont find that a very civil way to greet a new user | 05:03 |
| nalioth | nope | 05:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | After his virus discussions earlier today .. I think he needs to be watched | 05:04 |
| nalioth | how about talking to him | 05:07 |
| nalioth | catalyze and all that ? | 05:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Im too tired at this point.. It has been a long day... | 05:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Feel free... | 05:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I only logged back in to get my mail..... Just noticed him for the second time in one day.. Goodnight | 05:10 |
| nickrud | zcat's been around for a long time, he's probably amenable | 05:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Probably just needs a nudge on things that are less than helpful methinks. The lines in between the two aforementioned things look like normal support, and valuable. | 05:14 |
| Seeker` | are there restrictions as to who can post on the ubuntu-irc mailing list? | 09:23 |
| Mez | not as far as I'm aware (possibly subscribers only though)( | 10:22 |
| Mez | but I dont think there are restrictions on who can subscribe | 10:22 |
| Seeker` | I have subscribed | 10:24 |
| Seeker` | I sent a post last ngith, and it seems to have disappeared | 10:24 |

| * Seeker` -> uni | 10:32 | |
| Myrtti | that's a disturbing message for a Finn | 11:22 |
| Seeker` | Myrtti: why? | 11:23 |
| Myrtti | uni means sleep | 11:23 |
| Myrtti | I actually stared that one for like a minute uncomprehending | 11:24 |
| Seeker` | uni means university for me :) Which is closely associated with sleep :P | 11:24 |
| Myrtti | yeah, I know, but still | 11:24 |
| Myrtti | needed some mental adjustment to get the real meaning | 11:25 |
| Seeker` | what is the finnish for uni? | 11:25 |
| Myrtti | yliopisto | 11:26 |

| jdong | will the real ubot.* please stand up? | 13:11 |
| * Mez is thinking of making a bot that tracks bans, removes those of people who are klined, and pokes ops now and then to remind them to remove their bans | 13:14 | |
| jdong | <banbotu> There are unused bans on your /mode. The /mode cleanup wizard can help you clean up your modes. Click this message to start the wizard. | 13:15 |

| Pici | PriceChild: I know, it realyl confuses me | 14:23 |

| LjL | that's a bit... non-standard | 14:30 |
| jdong | pfft event.d | 14:30 |
| Myrtti | if I want irssi up on server boot and to grep some logs at server shutdown... | 14:30 |
| LjL | what about sources.list.d | 14:30 |
| LjL | Myrtti: grep logs at shutdown? | 14:31 |
| jdong | LjL: that relies on a buffer overflow in apt | 14:31 |
| * jussi01 schedules a cron to smack jdong over the head with a fish | 14:31 | |
| LjL | jdong: sounds elegant | 14:31 |
| jdong | LjL: yes it would be beautiful | 14:31 |
| Myrtti | LjL: I've got a special use case for the logs | 14:31 |
| Myrtti | it's called "stalking" | 14:31 |
| LjL | Myrtti: as in, checking if you've been stalked, or stalking? | 14:31 |
| Myrtti | the first | 14:32 |
| LjL | that too definitely sounds like a cron's job... | 14:32 |
| PriceChild | :( | 14:32 |
| Pici | :? | 14:32 |
| LjL | i've got a special use case for logs too | 14:32 |

| jpatrick | +b *!?=root | 15:37 |
| Pici | then nal sent them on a ride on the train | 15:37 |
| Mez | w00t... I think I'm in the clear | 15:37 |
| LjL | yeah, don't kick them | 15:38 |
| stdin | what I did with vit was ban vit_*!@* so vit and vit_ could join, but root is a bit too general do do that | 15:39 |
| LjL | stdin, vit_ can't join if you ban vit_*!*@*, the * quantifier inclues the empty word | 15:41 |
| stdin | LjL: when the ban was in place there was vit and vit_, so it seemed to do what I wanted (if I'm remembering right) | 15:42 |
| nalioth | stdin: again? | 15:42 |
| LjL | stdin: were probably already in the channel when you banned | 15:42 |
| Pici | You could ban *!?=root@*.dyn.dsl.cantv.net | 15:43 |
| stdin | LjL: no, I did a mass /remove before | 15:43 |
| LjL | Pici: well, not really, they had very different hostnames yesterday | 15:43 |
| Pici | or .cantv.net | 15:43 |
| Pici | That looks to be common between the few I just looked at | 15:44 |
| stdin | I only see them in #k too, and they never seem to speak (same as vit) | 15:44 |
| nalioth | Mez: it's all your client settings | 15:44 |
| LjL | stdin: don't know then, maybe they changed nicks while in the channel - i can say for sure that * is a zero-or-more | 15:44 |
| nalioth | these are zombies (root*) | 15:44 |
| LjL | Pici, yesterday they had numeric IPs as hosts | 15:44 |
| nalioth | see? | 15:44 |
| LjL | like the one that just joined now | 15:44 |
| LjL | 190.* | 15:44 |
| nalioth | they are programmed to maintain | 15:44 |
| Pici | LjL: They are numeric, I'm dnsing them | 15:45 |
| LjL | aah. | 15:45 |
| Pici | That should work right? | 15:45 |
| LjL | Pici: bans on hostname won't ban the IP | 15:45 |
| LjL | Pici: the vice versa is valid | 15:45 |
| LjL | although, uhm | 15:45 |
| Pici | LjL: fooey | 15:45 |
| LjL | i thought freenode always reversed-dns everyone | 15:45 |
| nalioth | that should solve things (and get them on the freenode radar) | 15:46 |
| LjL | nalioth: put one _ maybe? | 15:46 |
| nalioth | they have appeared with _ and __ appended | 15:47 |
| LjL | nalioth: yeah i mean root_*!*@* | 15:47 |
| LjL | just to avoid banning "root" | 15:47 |
| nalioth | we could forward them to -read-topic or -proxy-users or -unregged | 15:47 |
| LjL | and others with nicks that begin like that | 15:47 |
| * nalioth would like to forward them to /dev/null, but would get in trouble if he did | 15:48 | |
| LjL | nalioth: or -83, which i really should give another name | 15:48 |
| LjL | nalioth: still there's been some people before complaining that their nick was banned in some channels because it began with "root" - while having nothing to do with root. that's why i suggest root_*!*@* | 15:48 |
| stdin | how about root_?*!*@* then? that'll let root and root_ (LjL was right after all) | 15:50 |
| nalioth | stdin: the ? is superflous in your suggestion | 15:50 |
| LjL | stdin, in this case we want root_ banned i think | 15:51 |
| nalioth | and superfli too | 15:51 |
| stdin | nalioth: I just tested name_*!*@* and it bans name_ too | 15:51 |
| LjL | although, root_ has been idle for 8 hours | 15:51 |
| LjL | they *are* two different bans | 15:51 |
| stdin | but then there's normally a root and root_ on freenode somewhere anyway | 15:51 |
| LjL | yeah in fact root_ is online | 15:52 |
| LjL | but anyway, he's unlikely to join #kubuntu | 15:52 |
| LjL | on the other hand, "rootfoo" might | 15:52 |
| stdin | we don't support root accounts anyway :p | 15:52 |
| LjL | i've created #ubuntu-graylist (and redirected the old #ubuntu-83 there), please use it for any subnet bans | 15:55 |
| LjL | (which does *not* mean subnet bans should be taken lightly, mind. just, still better than plain banning) | 15:56 |
| stdin | heh, I knew I'd see vit_ soon after the root_'s went | 15:59 |
| LjL | ya... interesting | 15:59 |
| LjL | a 190.* | 15:59 |
| LjL | nalioth, look at that | 15:59 |
| Mez | AOL ? | 15:59 |
| LjL | no, cantv.net according to pici's dns | 16:00 |
| stdin | all seem to be CANTV Servicios, Venezuela | 16:01 |
| stdin | (vit_'s and root_'s) | 16:02 |
| nalioth | and you should always ban the IP (it will ban the hostmask, too) | 16:12 |
| LjL | nalioth: the IPs vary widely though (190.* up to 201.* at least), while the hostmask - if it was there - wouldn't | 16:13 |
| nalioth | but the hostmask is added depending on info | 16:13 |
| LjL | nalioth: but on info provided by the ISP, not the user itself...? | 16:14 |
| nalioth | some trolls have skillz, and can manipulate their equipment/packets, LjL | 16:14 |
| jussi01 | nalioth: could we have ubot3 into #ubuntustudio ? | 16:45 |
| nalioth | sure | 16:46 |
| jussi01 | thanks nalioth | 16:49 |
| LjL | bot is going down, changing PSU, should really be 10 minutes this time | 18:12 |
| Myrtti | Wasn't Sevvie supposed to come back like, yesterday? | 18:32 |
| Myrtti | or do I remember wrong | 18:32 |
| LjL | here, maybe it wasn't 10 minutes, but it wasn't that bad | 18:39 |
| LjL | now to just hope this €15 thing doesn't explode too early. or at least doesn't take the mobo with it when it does. | 18:39 |
| Seeker` | €15 for a PSU? | 18:40 |
| Seeker` | I cant imagine that would be stable | 18:40 |
| LjL | Seeker`: i'm not entirely comfortable either, and it's 370W (not that the server would take very much power but)... i thought i'd find a two-fans 420W one, which i bought in the same place little time ago for €30, but the only alternative they had available was a 570W (!) one for €40 | 18:43 |
| LjL | perhaps i could put the lousy one on my desktop... although my desktop definitely takes up more power | 18:44 |
| LjL | but i wouldn't cry so much if my desktop broke as if my server did | 18:45 |
| LjL | (well, unless the HD broke) | 18:45 |
| LjL | uhm, according to lm-sensors, the +12V, +5V and +3.3V are almost spot-on, for as much as that means | 18:46 |
| Seeker` | hmm | 18:47 |
| LjL | there is a supposedly +2.5V output that is really 0.35V | 18:47 |
| Seeker` | I probably wouldn't feel "comfortable" with a PSU < £20 or so | 18:47 |
| LjL | and the sensors don't give readings for the negative ones | 18:47 |
| Seeker` | my current one was ~£50 I think | 18:47 |
| Seeker` | could you not order a better one | 18:48 |
| Seeker` | and then keep the cheap one for emergencies if another one blows again | 18:48 |
| LjL | Seeker`: well, as i said, i'd much rather have bought the €30 one, so i guess my "comfortability" target is similar to yours. i wouldn't but a £50 one i think... i'm that cheap | 18:48 |
| * LjL wonders if the cheap 370W one could power his desktop at all | 18:49 | |
| Pici | I need a new psu for my desktop, I have a paperclip wedged in the fan right now because it makes noise <.< | 18:50 |
| LjL | probably not, newegg gives >300W for something like my desktop | 18:50 |
| LjL | Pici: ... | 18:50 |
| LjL | Pici: you realize that's likely to blow up not only the PSU but mobo/etc too? | 18:51 |
| Pici | LjL: I need a new hardware anyway | 18:51 |
| Seeker` | LjL: My power supply is a Corsair 520w modular thing | 18:51 |
| LjL | Pici: the HD too | 18:51 |
| Pici | woo | 18:51 |
| LjL | Seeker`: what does modular mean | 18:51 |
| Pici | LjL: Its the windows computer | 18:51 |
| Seeker` | LjL: Its quiet, and I quite like corsair stuff - its reliable | 18:51 |
| LjL | Pici: oh - then switch the PSU to 110W and turn it on | 18:51 |
| Seeker` | LjL: The only cables "built in" to the box are the mobo connectors | 18:52 |
| Pici | LjL: it is on 110 | 18:52 |
| LjL | Pici: ah right you're on the evil side. well then switch it to 230 | 18:52 |
| Pici | LjL: eh... I'd rather not :p | 18:52 |
| Seeker` | LjL: And then there are a series of cables you can plug in if you need them, so it reduces the number of spare wires hanging around the system | 18:52 |
| LjL | Seeker`: ah well that's nice but i can do without, reliability though i shouldn't, not for the server anyway | 18:53 |
| LjL | but meh, if newegg gives some 330W for my desktop, then i suppose i probably shouldn't plug it into a 370W supply | 18:53 |
| Seeker` | LjL: This is for my desktop, which I use for gaming etc. | 18:54 |
| Seeker` | I have an nvidia 8800GTS, which seems to be quite power hungry | 18:54 |
| LjL | Seeker`, none of my computers are particularly power hungry i guess, what i have on my desktop is a geforce 5200, and on the server, well, i won't ever put whatever it's got in 3D mode... so i don't really need *watts* on the server, i do need it to not blow up though :| | 18:55 |
| Seeker` | yeah | 18:55 |
| LjL | but then as little power-hungry as my desktop may be, it's still worryingly close to 370W i'm afraid | 18:56 |
| Seeker` | how do you work that out? | 18:56 |
| LjL | Seeker`: oh genii just gave me this site http://educations.newegg.com/tool/psucalc/index.html | 18:56 |
| LjL | still anyway i really don't understand why my old PSU, that worked for years, refuses to power the new server mobo | 18:57 |
| LjL | works fine on the old... | 18:57 |
| * Seeker` wonders what counts as a "high end" motherboard | 18:57 | |
| Seeker` | that gives me something between 470 and 496 W | 18:59 |
| Seeker` | I've got a 520W | 18:59 |
| LjL | wow | 19:04 |
| LjL | Seeker`: i don't know, i put in "high end" for the server because it's got 4 IDEs and was generally fancy for its time | 19:05 |
| LjL | while on my desktop, i've got some thing (with a celeron on it) that's got *3* PCI slots. guess that doesn't count as high-end | 19:05 |
| LjL | wait, no, *2* PCI slots. and an AGP | 19:06 |
| Mez | nalioth, what's your email address? | 19:17 |
| * Mez nearly sent an email to "naoliv£ | 19:18 | |
| Mez | s/£/"/ | 19:18 |
| nalioth | Mez: all these launchpad and wiki pages and personal websites and you can't find my email? i'm at gmail.com | 19:22 |
| Pici | Wow! Hi Seveas! | 19:23 |
| Mez | nvm nalioth found it on LP | 19:30 |
| Mez | Pici, did you find a place for Mootbot (or was that Seeker` ?) | 19:30 |
| Pici | Mez: Wasn't me who you were talking to | 19:30 |
| Mez | probs Seeker` then | 19:31 |
| nalioth | Mez: i told you my email | 19:33 |
| Mez | nalioth, my connection here died | 19:33 |
| Seveas | which channels is ubotu kicked out of? | 19:33 |
| Pici | most | 19:34 |
| Seveas | fuck | 19:34 |
| Pici | or at least most of the channels I'm in | 19:34 |
| Pici | L/ | 19:34 |
| nalioth | Mez: you've notg left this channel since i told you :) | 19:34 |
| * Pici sneaks off | 19:34 | |
| Seveas | I'm bringing it back | 19:35 |
| Seeker` | Mez: Was me | 19:37 |
| Myrtti | Seveas: should I unban him now from -offtopic? | 19:42 |
| Myrtti | it | 19:43 |
| Myrtti | whatever | 19:43 |
| Seveas | sigh, ubotu is banned? | 19:43 |
| Seveas | who the F* did that? Ubotu doesn't rejoin when kicked... | 19:43 |
| Myrtti | we weren't sure, sorry | 19:45 |
| Myrtti | but I did it | 19:45 |
| * Myrtti offers a yarn ball of silk and wool to almighty Seveas | 19:45 | |
| Seveas | if you're not sure, why not try simply kicking and see what it does? | 19:46 |
| Myrtti | the thing is we wanted to have him active on more important channels and not to strain it with -offtopic | 19:46 |
| Seveas | I k/b'ed ubot3 from #ubuntu now ubotu is back | 19:46 |
| PriceChild | Why don't we simply mute the other bots in channels? Especially like #ubuntu and #kubuntu? | 19:49 |
| nalioth | Seveas: please use +q | 19:49 |
| Seveas | nalioth, right back at y'all | 19:49 |
| nalioth | Seveas: i banned no bots | 19:49 |
| nalioth | Seveas: i advised +q | 19:49 |
| Seveas | they ignored it, you could have fixed it. | 19:49 |
| nalioth | i'm not in all the channels | 19:50 |
| Mez | Seeker`, did you find a home? | 19:50 |
| Seeker` | Mez: Still trying a few possibilities | 19:50 |
| Mez | Seeker`, well if need be, I can give it a home | 19:51 |
| Seeker` | Mez: Cool, I'll keep that in mind if the current plans fall through | 19:51 |
| Mez | Seeker`, no problem. Though I | 19:51 |
| Mez | m currently writing plans to integrate a new server into my network | 19:51 |
| * Myrtti hides and touches no bots ever again | 19:57 | |
| Pici | Seveas: The bot may have just not joined some channels, at some points it was excess flooding out. | 20:13 |
| Pici | Also, I think people were getting confused because !fact > user was sending two things, often many minutes apart | 20:15 |
| LjL | Seveas, we fix what we can fix, you have to realize there are a "few" channels, some of them we don't have easy access to to begin with... | 20:23 |
| ubot3 | In #kubuntu-fi, Nakkel said: !xvmc is XvMC (X-Video Motion Compensation) is a X Video extension allowing video programs to offload video decoding to the video-hardware. Currently only !binarydrivers for NVidia cards support XvMC. | 20:23 |
| Seveas | LjL, the only channels with bans were #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:23 |
| Seveas | you all have access there and especially #ubuntu would be the first to check, methinks | 20:24 |
| LjL | Seveas, oh i think it was removed from -offtopic because some ompaul guy somehow seemed convinced that the bot abuse in there would cause the lag :) | 20:24 |
| LjL | Seveas: in #ubuntu, i definitely thought it was muted | 20:24 |
| Seveas | the botabuse plugins were all unloaded already | 20:25 |
| Pici | LjL: it was, until it people were complaining that they were getting double messages at time about !this > that | 20:25 |
| LjL | Seveas: yeah well don't look at me :) anyway i'm surprised about #ubuntu. i made it part #ubuntu-devel as well because we had no way to mute it there when it was requested, making it rejoin | 20:26 |
| Seeker` | Would a "mute in channels x,y,z" function be useful in the new bots? | 20:26 |
| Seveas | Seeker`, the new code I'm working on will have failover code which makes sure one and only one (and always one) will talk at any given time | 20:27 |
| Seeker` | ah, ok | 20:28 |
| jdong | so ubotu's okay now? | 20:31 |
| Seveas | yes | 20:31 |
| jdong | cool | 20:31 |
| Amaranth | What have you done to ubotu? | 20:44 |
| * Amaranth hugs ubotu | 20:44 | |
| * Amaranth cries | 20:44 | |
| Alan_M | man, i believe the reaming people about how they help out in open chat in the main support rooms gotta stop, can we at least TRY to private message and say "hey look buddy...i feel what you did was wrong, can you please stop and do it this way next time?" | 21:07 |
| PriceChild | Alan_M: I'm not sure I understand? | 21:08 |
| Alan_M | Bruenig basically told me how i helped out was the "wrong way" | 21:09 |
| Alan_M | in front of everyone.... | 21:09 |
| Alan_M | in my opionion if the steps to help someone end up at the same end point...its not "technically" wrong. | 21:10 |
| Alan_M | it takes me everything i have to help out now with the community, because i feel my contributions are just getting frowned at...im trying..shouldnt that be enough? | 21:11 |
| PriceChild | I'm not yet up to date with the logs, but I don't agree with "in my opionion if the steps to help someone end up at the same end point...its not "technically" wrong." | 21:11 |
| PriceChild | for example, using automatix to install libdvdcss2 | 21:12 |
| * tsmithe was watching this take place, and felt that whereas bruenig was technically most accurate, Alan_M's methods were most user-friendly. nor did bruenig offer different help. | 21:12 | |
| Alan_M | i was using a ubuntu supported method. | 21:12 |
| Alan_M | nothing 3rd party | 21:12 |
| PriceChild | Alan_M: I'm not saying you were right or wrong in channel... I just don't agree with that one message. | 21:12 |
| Alan_M | I understand. | 21:13 |
| Alan_M | its not even right or wrong anymore what im getting at. | 21:13 |
| Alan_M | its the reaming in open room. | 21:13 |
| PriceChild | Alan_M: I'll have a talk with bruenig. | 21:16 |
| mneptok | PriceChild: that's the wrong approach. now you die. | 21:16 |
| * mneptok ignites | 21:16 | |
| Alan_M | heh | 21:16 |
| Alan_M | Thanks guys. | 21:16 |
| * Alan_M exits....stage left | 21:17 | |
| PriceChild | Alan_M: I think if he approached it a different way, it could have been less patronising, more informative. | 21:17 |
| PriceChild | Alan_M: however... | 21:17 |
| PriceChild | Alan_M: I don't think it would have been constructive for him to tell you things in PM whilst you were helping someone else. | 21:17 |
| Alan_M | it just threw me so off guard i guess. | 21:18 |
| Alan_M | anyways... | 21:18 |
| PriceChild | If someone thinks they know a more correct way of doing things, I'm pretty sure they would rather inform both of you at once, rather than you tell someone a worse method, and not convey the better one until the next person, | 21:18 |
| Alan_M | yeah. | 21:19 |
| Alan_M | anywys...back to crazy land...i mean #ubuntu heh just kidding :) | 21:20 |
| Alan_M | Thanks for the input/support/smack across the skull :) | 21:20 |
| * PriceChild burns | 21:22 | |

| corny | Hello, I wanted to ask about the Nickname service. | 21:58 |
| corny | Are Nicks ever taken from someone because they haven't logged on in forever? | 21:59 |
| ompaul | that would be a #freenode issue as far as I am aware | 21:59 |
| Pici | Indeed. | 21:59 |
| ompaul | and in practice :) | 21:59 |
| Pici | We're only here to take care of the #*ubuntu-* channels | 21:59 |

| Myrtti | guess what that means in Finnish | 22:22 |
| no0tic | Myrtti, ok, I'm a bit finnish :) I'm ircing since tomorrow morning at 2 am (now it's 23:23 pm) | 22:22 |
| no0tic | Myrtti, using linux, ssh and irssi | 22:23 |
| Myrtti | no0tic: you're screwed. Life lost. Let us play Albinoni's Adagio | 22:23 |
| no0tic | I know | 22:25 |
| ompaul | no0tic, since tomorrow morning? | 22:27 |
| ompaul | until maybe | 22:27 |
| no0tic | I hope no | 22:28 |
| Seeker` | no0tic: but "since" is past tense, "tomorrow" is future tense | 22:28 |
| * ompaul starts to do dangerous stuffz | 22:29 | |
| no0tic | I'm screwed | 22:29 |
| Seeker` | ompaul: what sort of dangerous stuff? | 22:29 |
| Seeker` | no0tic: how so? | 22:29 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, you did ask | 22:29 |
| ompaul | ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.0/ | 22:29 |
| no0tic | I've been ircing since today 2 am, that's better | 22:29 |
| Seeker` | can I ask why? | 22:29 |
| Seeker` | no0tic: much :D | 22:29 |
| jdong | ompaul: you won't be disappointed | 22:29 |
| jdong | ompaul: do, however, recompile the kernel with SCHED_ULE | 22:29 |
| Seeker` | no0tic: You've had a break I hope | 22:30 |
| ompaul | jdong, how wrong you can be | 22:30 |
| ompaul | jdong, you don't know what my expectations are | 22:30 |
| jdong | total carnage? :) | 22:30 |
| ompaul | :) | 22:30 |
| ompaul | jdong, it will be for a few minutes anyway | 22:30 |
| jdong | ompaul: sweet :D | 22:30 |
| jdong | ompaul: that sounds like my Darwin install :) | 22:30 |
| ompaul | jdong, I sneer at your arch | 22:31 |
| no0tic | Seeker`, yeah, I lunched | 22:31 |
| Seeker` | no0tic: 21 hours on IRC is bad - you need more of a break :) | 22:31 |
| ompaul | /cs k no0tic go away | 22:31 |
| ompaul | jdong, I want to play with pf - been a long time | 22:32 |
| Seeker` | pf? | 22:32 |
| jdong | Seeker`: openbsd packet filter | 22:32 |
| Seeker` | ah | 22:32 |
| jdong | ompaul: pf is JITted in FBSD7, right? | 22:32 |
| no0tic | ompaul, I don't think it would change anything, there are too many channels out here | 22:32 |
| jdong | ompaul: that should be some kickass filtering performance for those long rulesets | 22:32 |
| jdong | 18:31 -!- KIAaze [n=KIAaze@sbgrt25-1.in2p3.fr] has quit [":(){ :|:&};:"] | 22:33 |
| jdong | grumble. | 22:33 |
| ompaul | jdong, I have not done FreeBSD in years | 22:33 |
| jdong | not again | 22:33 |
| ompaul | kama kamzi | 22:33 |
| ompaul | jdong, where? | 22:33 |
| jdong | ompaul: #ubuntuforums | 22:33 |
| ompaul | kban | 22:33 |
| Seeker` | is that a fork bomb? | 22:36 |
| jdong | Seeker`: it is indeed | 22:36 |
| Seeker` | thought so | 22:37 |
| jdong | I bf'ed him into here for you guys :) | 22:37 |
| ompaul | jdong, ohh thank you | 22:37 |
| jdong | ompaul: merry christmas! | 22:37 |
| * ompaul sharpens his axe | 22:37 | |
| ompaul | mneptok, ping | 22:37 |
| * Myrtti gives ompaul her hellokitty empcannon with the almighty sniper's banning utilities and goes to bed | 22:38 | |
| ompaul | Myrtti, sleep well | 22:38 |
| Seeker` | nn | 22:38 |
| ompaul | jdong, so I have a perverse setup | 22:39 |
| ompaul | jdong, I have an acer extnsa that was bought with GNU/Whatsit on board | 22:39 |
| ompaul | jdong, the second box is a shuttle xpc - this latter item just had "inx" the feisty version on it | 22:40 |
| ompaul | installed - you gotta be nuts to use the install script it nukes your partitions | 22:40 |
| ompaul | all of em | 22:40 |
| jdong | :) | 22:40 |
| ompaul | jdong, so now that box will get fiesty on it (the shuttle) cos the acer was so low end it had no burner on it | 22:41 |
| ompaul | I have a rather expensive burner on the "now decommissioned machine" so it will go in the acer one of these days | 22:42 |
| ompaul | decommissioned as the io kit had gone for a walk and kb mouse and usb ports are ded on it (yes on this hardware it is spelt "ded") | 22:43 |
| Seeker` | why decommission a machine | 22:43 |
| Seeker` | thats bad | 22:43 |
| Seeker` | dead mobo then? | 22:44 |
| ompaul | yeap | 22:44 |
| Seeker` | what socket processor? | 22:45 |
| ompaul | kvm is taking me from one box to another | 22:45 |
| * ompaul can't remember I got it a few years ago | 22:45 | |
| * ompaul goes to look | 22:45 | |
| ompaul | 754 | 22:47 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, ^^ | 22:48 |
| mneptok | ompaul: pong | 22:48 |
| ompaul | mneptok, dns servers toasted again this evening | 22:48 |
| Seeker` | ompaul: hmm | 22:48 |
| ompaul | they must not have signed up to you guys ;-) | 22:49 |
| Seeker` | they dont seem to be "easy" to get hold of | 22:49 |
| mneptok | ompaul: the OpenDNS servers? | 22:49 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, actually I got it two years ago less than today | 22:49 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, actually I got it two years ago less 8 days | 22:49 |
| Seeker` | actually, I was looking at Intel not AMD :P | 22:50 |
| ompaul | mneptok, no my stupido iso | 22:50 |
| ompaul | mneptok, no my stupido isp | 22:50 |
| * ompaul looks at his typos | 22:50 | |
| mneptok | ompaul: so switch to OpenDNS :) | 22:50 |
| ompaul | mneptok, and how do you think I am talking ot you ;-) | 22:50 |
| mneptok | heheh | 22:50 |
| Seeker` | ompaul: Hmm, ebuyer and dabs only stock 1 model each - and they are relatively expensive | 22:52 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, I don't want a mobo I got two good machines | 22:53 |
| ompaul | and a laptop and that is before we count my wifes machine | 22:53 |
| ompaul | more gnu/linux than most people would shake a stick at | 22:53 |
| Seeker` | ompaul: heh | 22:54 |
| Seeker` | ompaul: you cna never have too many machines :P | 22:55 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, I want an olpc and an eeeeeeeepc | 22:55 |
| Seeker` | heh | 22:55 |
| Seeker` | I want a storge server , an itx mythtv box and a web / email server | 22:56 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, na you want a shuttle for that the itx is for your desktop to do call on xdmcp on the other box | 22:57 |
| ompaul | and then the eeeeeeeeeeeeepc is for doing wireless ssh as a pricey remote control | 22:57 |
| Seeker` | "call on xdmcp"? | 22:57 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, check out xdmcp | 22:57 |
| Seveas | xdmcpoo | 22:57 |
| ompaul | Seveas, it rocks if you have secured network (I know it is why I am paid) | 22:59 |
| Seeker` | ompaul: hmm, I still like my idea better :P | 23:00 |
| ompaul | users can't do anything no access you got X or nothing | 23:00 |
| ompaul | Seeker`, you might but you can still be forgiven if you turn to the path of insanity :) | 23:00 |
| Daviey | ompaul: he'll see the light | 23:00 |

| Seeker` | depends if i have any money | 23:06 |
| Daviey | ompaul: you have permission to buy me drinks | 23:06 |
| ompaul | Daviey, I see | 23:06 |
| Daviey | Seeker`: £5 entry fee IIRC?! | 23:06 |
| ompaul | Daviey, it costs more than a fiver to get there | 23:07 |
| Seeker` | Daviey: Its transport and accomodation thatI may have problems with | 23:07 |
| Daviey | Seeker`: you'll have graduated by then? | 23:07 |
| Seeker` | Daviey: yes | 23:08 |
| Daviey | Then i'm sure there will be a hotel room floor/sofa bed going. | 23:08 |
| Daviey | DaveMorris slept on my hotel sofa bed last year. | 23:08 |
| Seeker` | hmm | 23:09 |
