naliothikonia: that's not even funny00:01
nikrudha. I thought so00:01
Flannelnikrud: Yes, we'd like storage.  I... hope to have a manifest tonight, but if you need it now, I could probably throw something together.  Phone calls, etc.00:07
nikrudFlannel, tomorrow morning would be fine; gives me the afternoon to futz with the security guys. And they'll only be concerned with actual computers and monitors, that high value stuff00:15
_MMA_Hey. Can I get someone banned who was just a complete ass in #ubuntu-artwork?00:18
nikrud_MMA_, from the looks of things, you're an op there ;)00:20
_MMA_Uh... Oh yeah. :P I totally forget how to do it. :)00:20
Flannel /mode +b *!*@pool-173-66-53-36.washdc.fios.verizon.net00:21
Flannel_MMA_: ^^00:22
_MMA_Killer. Thanx00:22
nikrud_MMA_, what irc client do you use? there's a couple useful scripts for ops; I use xchat and chanserv.py00:22
_MMA_nikrud: Just usin' Pidgin. My needs are pretty basic. But I found the file where I got the commands I need.00:24
_MMA_Thanx guys.00:25
naliothpidgin? a channel op?  0_000:25
Flannelnalioth: Sometimes you just have to smile and nod00:27

Daft_Punkpreferably tritium since he was sort of involved last time03:48
PiciWhy?04:03
PiciDaft_Punk: Why do you need to speak to an op?04:04
Daft_Punkto report something04:04
PiciDaft_Punk: Well, you're talking to one now.04:04
Daft_Punkcan i please PM you04:04

tritiumhello, nickrud 05:35
nickrudtritium, hey. What did you do to daft_punk? :)05:36
tritiumnickrud: nothing.  That guy spree from a few nights ago was PMing him.  I suspect he was getting more PMs from him, and wanted to report them.05:37
nickrudah, you did right by him earlier then05:37
tritiumI suppose so.05:37

tritiumFish?05:53
nickrudI'm not going for the hook :)05:53
tritiumOh, heh.  I assumed you'd seen it.05:54
nickrudI have. Of course, I bet he wouldn't contribute to a dam on a stream feeding the river that might flood his home either.  05:55
tritiumnickrud: you're a comedian :)05:56
nickrudeven though it is at flood stage already05:56
tritiumOoh!  openwrt 8.09 is released!05:59
Flannelopenwrt... how is that related to Tomato et al?06:02

FlannelAh, that was HyperWRT06:06
* Myrtti yawns06:07
tritiumI just may put openwrt on my wrt54g06:09
nickrudFlannel, keep an eye on sebsebseb, he provides pretty decent help over all06:19
tritiumnickrud: is there a "but"?06:20
nickrudhe's like me, longwinded and likely to drift off topic06:20
tritiumBed time.  Good night.06:24
nickrudlikewise, see you later tritium .06:25
nickrudFlannel, pm?06:25
tritiumSee you, nickrud.06:25
elkytopyli, in future use the 'u is you in dutch. the channel is english-only. please dont speak dutch there. also, it means 'wow!' in albanian, 'inside' in croatian and serbian, 'beside' in czech, 'and' in maltese, 'from' in polish, 'under' in slovak, 'or' in spanish, and 'uneducated' in irc-ese.07:05
topyliheh07:06
topylielky: that would be a good factoid replacement in fact07:07
Flannel!u07:07
ubottuUnless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..07:07
FlannelOnly a little longer.  Although it does remove the y bcuz ne1 etc stuff.07:08
topylihmm and probably not comprehensive. the original mentions flemish07:08
topyliu is also a russian proposition meaning "on something" or a possessive "i have money on me" form07:09
elkyflemish isnt on google translate07:09
bazhangu means fish in Mandarin07:09
elkyi think this is time for me to set up another 'why' page07:10
elky!worksforme07:10
ubottuCommon Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/07:10
elkynow that i remember where i keep my PSAs07:12
elkybazhang, can you confirm topyli's russian translation of 'u'?07:52
topylii have an umbrella. u menya zontik07:54
topyliit's not a "word" as such07:54
elkythat's a bit long-winded to add to that list then07:56
bazhangpreposition I would imagine in that case, 'unattended', or 'horseshoe' would be ones I thought of07:56
elkylets leave it out for now then07:57
bazhangI would trust topyli 's russian any day though :)07:57
elkywould or wouldn't?07:58
bazhangwould elky 07:59
topylii stll remember much of the grammar from school, but have forgotten almost all the vocabulary07:59
elkyyou did russian at school? cool07:59
bazhangk - uz, b- ot ,etc07:59
elkyeh?08:00
bazhangprepositions that were learned early on08:01
bazhangsorry to clog the channel08:01
topylielky: at the time, parents were being lobbied to expose their kids to russian. everybody learning german as their third language was a problem, because it happened in the expense of russian and french08:02
topyliafter all, russia is a neighbor, big trade partner etc etc08:02
topylias it happened, i never needed it in real life and slowly forgot all about it08:03
* jussi01 wishes he knew russian, would be a big help at work...08:03
jussi01finnish would help also :P08:03

FlannelThat was productive.08:14
bazhangthought it was nbeebo for a sec08:14
bazhangthe lack of 'u' gave it away08:14
elkyfailtroll?08:15
topylii wonder why join a channel in the first place if you're not going to be a "person"08:15
bazhangyep08:15
ikoniabazhang: nbeebo is another one who it's pointless discussing with08:15
bazhangikonia, agreed08:15
bazhangthe failtroll guy says he wants to be paid to troll08:15
ikoniaagain - that attitude - ban, it seems pointless to keep covering old ground with these guys08:16
ikoniahe states "I use this nick name to troll channels"08:16
topylinbeebo is annoying because he almost never really "breaks" a "rule" you can put a finger on08:16
ikoniathat's his intent - seems pointless to dicuss is08:16
ikoniatopyli: U shud get on top of it08:16
ikonia:D08:17
bazhangseems to blame others a lot though08:17
topyliheh08:17
ikoniau need 2 understand dat saying u is why he was banned not b-cos he is unable 2 follo instruction08:17
bazhanghaha08:18
topyliyeah. y is sayin u so bad. clearly he's being mistreated08:18

topylithat's not a very ripe age :(08:20
bazhangoh I'm sorry08:20
topylithanks08:22
elkygoogle translate is stupid. it tried to claim that 'r' is german for 'ratisbon' which is a city... and 'y' is vietnamese for 'italy'08:22
topyliof course, i'm now learning from the news, and they don't disclose very much about it. will have to ask friends what stupid adventure he's been on this time :\08:23

topyliMyrtti: the music business is like that. some of your friends might actually make it :)08:33
elkytopyli, is that watch as in look or watch as in tic-toc08:34
topylitic-tock the chronograph08:35
topylichronometer. what is it. must be something like that08:35
topyliactually, 'ur' is either old-fashioned or perhaps a special kind of clock. mostly you hear them say 'klocka'08:37
elkyit's also 'from' in swedish08:42

Picinickrud: I want to say 500. 18:58
FlannelYeah.18:58
FlannelIt'd be nice if they'd also comment on the kick/mibbit stuff18:58
PiciIts a combination of bans, realname bans, invites and exceptions.18:58
Flannelsince, most of those can be removed almost immediately.18:58
jussi01Pici: is this mostly floodbots fault? or are ops being lazy?18:59
nickrudthat's not many for a busy channel. I've only 3 active, all recent. Commented, too ;)19:00
Picijussi01: 58 out of 395 bans are even from the floodbots19:01
jussi01Pici: ok, so ops need to clean a little, wonder how many of the bans are domains we dont trust, like silenceisdefeat19:02
Picijussi01: What do you think about removing the bans (not forwards) from the Floodbots? I'd think most of them were klines.19:08

ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)23:44
ubottuFloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)23:44
Seeker`at least with the system in place each exploit hits fewer and fewer users23:45
guntbertHi23:49
Seeker`how can we help you?23:50
guntbertis it just me, or are the floodbots in #ubuntu acting a bit strange today? ([00:44] * FloodBot1 sets ban on galvanize!*@*!#ubuntu-read-topic)23:50
Seeker`guntbert: someone did an exploit; That redirects people to somewhere with instructions on how to fix it23:51
guntbertSeeker`: ah I see, it was just because at least the one I mentioned was acting completely normally23:52
Seeker`the people redirected to #ubuntu-read-topic haven't done anything wrong, they just need to fix their connection to stop themselves being exploited again23:52
guntbertSeeker`: ok, now I understand - am a bit slow already :), thx23:53
