[06:52] <cr4z3d> hey how do i get a hostmask cloak?
[06:55] <stdin> cr4z3d: are you an Ubuntu member?
[06:55] <cr4z3d> stdin: no, should i be?
[06:56] <stdin> cr4z3d: if you're not then you can ask for an unaffiliated cloak in #freenode
[06:57] <cr4z3d> stdin: I'm just curious though are the different hostmasks just personal preference or is there any advantage one over the other?
[06:59] <stdin> cr4z3d: no advantage. if you're a member of a team/group that's registered with freenode you can show that affiliation in the cloak. anyone can get an unaffiliated cloak though
[07:00] <cr4z3d> stdin: hmm interesting. so if i do sign up how soon do you get a cloak?
[07:01] <stdin> you don't sign up, you apply for ubuntu membership and get approved
[07:02] <stdin> then you can get a cloak as soon as you're membership is approved
[07:02] <stdin> you can get an unaffiliated cloak immediately though, and it can be changed if you become an ubuntu member
[07:03] <cr4z3d> wow answered my question as i was typing it
[07:03]  * stdin add 1 ESP to his mana
[07:11] <cr4z3d> stdin: hey i clicked sign up for launchpad but i see now way to apply for the cloak? or is signing up for launchpad the same thing
[07:12] <stdin> to get a ubuntu cloak you need to have a "sustained contribution to ubuntu" then apply for membership
[07:12] <stdin> http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember
[07:12] <stdin> just joining launchpad is not enough, though it's a 1st step
[07:16] <cr4z3d> wow there's a lot of good things you get for joining this seems like a good idea
[22:49] <cr4z3d> how do i add my gpg key? i've been doing gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys
[22:49] <cr4z3d> but it doesn't seem to work
[23:21] <nalioth> cr4z3d: you need to include the keyid on the end
[23:36] <cr4z3d> nalioth: how do i find the keyid?
[23:37] <nalioth> cr4z3d: if you don't know your keyid, you really need to study up more
[23:38] <nalioth> this gpg stuff isn't something you're gonna do once and never have to worry about it again
[23:39] <cr4z3d> i can do gpg --list-keys and i don't really see which part of that is my keyid
[23:40] <PriceChild> cr4z3d: are you following one of the ubuntu guides for this? (link?)
[23:41] <Pici> nalioth: It might if you're just signing the CoC.  I actually don't use mine all that often.
[23:42] <nalioth> i use mine every day.
[23:42] <cr4z3d> PriceChild: ah i found it.. but yes i was following the guide for awhile but i didn't see a section that told you what the keyid was or where to find it
[23:42] <nalioth> wait until you get an encrypted email and have no idea what to do
[23:43] <cr4z3d> i haven't come accross anyone that needed to send me an encrytped email
[23:43] <cr4z3d> just yet at least
[23:43] <PriceChild> cr4z3d: which guide?
[23:45] <cr4z3d> PriceChild: the one on the wiki for becoming a member had a link to how to use gnupg i don't have it off the top of my head though
[23:46] <nalioth> there are hundreds of "how to" documents on the internet.  gpg is not ubuntu-specific, so any should do
[23:46] <PriceChild> cr4z3d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto this one? It *definitely* does.
[23:48] <cr4z3d> yeah it definitely does now that i look over it again
[23:50] <PriceChild> good stuff, all sorted now/
[23:52] <cr4z3d> should be firegpg made it easy to read the message
[23:53] <PriceChild> Last time I took a look at firegpg google's way of formatting stuff after pressing send messed stuff at the other end.
[23:54] <PriceChild> but that was aaages ago, woul dbe cool if that's fixed now
[23:54] <cr4z3d> oh i don't know it works fine for reading messages though
