[00:00] <jrib> anyone know anything about this bounceattack business?
[00:01] <jrib> saw people complaining about it yesterday and today
[00:02] <tsimpson> just scriptkids trying to ddos google and freenode via DCC
[00:03] <tsimpson> (putting in the IP/port of a freenode server or google server in the DCC request)
[00:03] <tsimpson> as long as people don't auto-accept DCCs, it's mostly annoyance
[00:48] <Ibite> Hello. I had a question regaurding Ubuntu, and installation of ubuntu on a PS3 system.
[00:48] <Ibite> Can anyone help me?
[00:49] <Ibite> hello?
[00:50] <tsimpson> Ibite: you must change your ident/username to join #ubuntu
[00:50] <tsimpson> something less offensive
[04:52] <elky> can someone please explain today's -ot to me...
[05:33] <MenZa> elky: it is inexplicable.
[05:34] <elky> if roasted utters the n-word, he's wilfully doing something he's been told not to, and should be forwarded to the dunce corner.
[05:34] <MenZa> Or just bashed around with a cluebat.
[05:35] <elky> i don't recall prescribing the method by which he gets to the dunce corner.
[05:35] <MenZa> heh
[05:36] <MenZa> For the record, I gave asmodeus1 a long explanation of how rm -rf [rootdir] works, and why he shouldn't ever do it.
[05:36] <MenZa> !dangerous
[05:37] <MenZa> Harro, bazhang
[05:40] <bazhang> MenZa, hi
[09:46] <tsimpson> ooh, so this is what it's like not to wakeup to a screen full of DCC requests :)
[15:41]  * genii sips
[15:42] <ikonia> no surprise there then
[16:14] <nalioth> tsimpson: i can certainly forward all the dcc requests from the whole network to you, if you wish  :)
[16:15] <tsimpson> nah, my router would probably explode if you did that :p
[17:40] <tsimpson> I just noticed that no bot was +o in #k
[17:41] <tsimpson> looks like 2 set -o 3 and 3 set -o 2 at the same time :p
[17:59] <jrib> ooh race condition
[19:36] <guntbert> Hi
[19:36] <guntbert> !lucid
[19:36] <guntbert> shouldnt that sentence read ... Lucid is NOT released ... ?
[19:37] <guntbert> not ... release ...
[19:38] <Pici> lucid =~ s/release/released/
[19:38] <Pici> !lucid =~ s/release/released/
[19:38] <Pici> guntbert: Thanks
[19:38] <guntbert> Pici: you're welcome :-)
[19:42] <cyb3rick> Hello there..
[19:45] <Pici> cyb3rick: Hi, how can we help you?
[19:45] <cyb3rick> I'm not able to join the ubuntu channel since yesterday.
[19:46] <cyb3rick> I forgot I had the connection opened and was kicked from the channel (apparently). Every time I try to join the channel it tells me to type "test me" or join this channel for help.
[19:47] <Pici> cyb3rick: Can you please try again. I've made a modification so that it should properly test you.
[19:48] <cyb3rick> Pici: Should I type "test me" here?
[19:48] <Pici> cyb3rick: not here, in #ubuntu-read-topic
[19:48] <cyb3rick> Pici: Oh, ok.
[21:15] <arand> nick kibibyte is ranting, despite told to stop, #ubuntu
[21:17] <tsimpson> arand: that's what the ops call is for
[21:19] <Pici> heh. christel's notice went out on all the projectors for the uds rooms
[21:19] <arand> ok, I thought it'd be better not to dump the ubottu messages in the channel for cleanliness purposes.
[21:56] <tonyyarusso> Hey, I just had a guy who recently set up a new LoCo channel tell me that he was instructed to put 'freenode-staff' in the access list.  Does this supercede '*!*@freenode/staff/*', and should I be changing mine?
[21:58] <Pricey> tonyyarusso: freenode-staff is useless
[21:58] <Pricey> tonyyarusso: *!*@freenode/staff/* is the correct version
[21:58] <Pricey> tonyyarusso: also, #freenode is probably a better place for a more definitive answer to that
[21:59] <nalioth> tonyyarusso: either serves as "allowing freenode staff to op when necessary", but the one with the full mode line is best
[21:59] <tonyyarusso> Hrm, okay then.
[22:00] <tonyyarusso> nalioth: btw, it was h00k , and he said you told him, so....  :P
[22:00] <nalioth> tonyyarusso: yeah, i know.
[22:01] <tonyyarusso> all righty.  that'll be all.
[22:01]  * elky suspects that so long as the intention is clear, it'd work.
[22:01] <nalioth> exactly
[22:01] <nalioth> but again, the full line is best
[22:02] <tonyyarusso> Saves time/effort I'd imagine.
[22:12] <Sir_Konrad> Hi!
[22:14] <Pici> Sir_Konrad: Hi, how can we help you today?
[22:15] <Sir_Konrad> Hi just a sec.
[22:16] <Sir_Konrad> Hey Pici, I came to ask for some support. Me and another user have created #osdebate because of the problem with OS debate running around on #ubuntu-offtopic and other Ubuntu channels. Would it be okay if you added a factoid to the bot or something to direct OS debates to that channel?
[22:17] <tsimpson> first off, it should be ##osdebate
[22:18] <Sir_Konrad> tsimpson: I ask respectively for the reason.
[22:19] <Sir_Konrad> *respectfully
[22:19] <tsimpson> because that's freenode channel naming policy
[22:19] <Pricey> Sir_Konrad: Check out http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming
[22:19]  * tsimpson was just about to dig that link up
[22:19] <Sir_Konrad> oops. I'm sorry.
[22:21] <Pricey> firefox's awesome bar ftw
[22:21] <Sir_Konrad> Ok, I made it.
[22:23] <Sir_Konrad> Alright. I'm sorry. Problem solved.
[22:23] <tsimpson> if you have a factoid suggestion, you can /msg ubottu (trigger) is <reply> (what you want ubottu to say)
[22:23] <tsimpson> then we'll see it here and review
[22:23] <Sir_Konrad> Ok.
[22:24] <tsimpson> so, "/msg ubottu foo is <reply> foo bar" to have !foo say "foo bar"
[22:24] <Sir_Konrad> right.
[22:27] <elky> sometimes it can be constructive though. "Debating about Operating Systems can result in flame wars, and flame wars are not constructive to the Ubuntu community" is probably more accurate.
[22:28] <Sir_Konrad> Ok.
[22:28] <jussi01> !windows
[22:28] <Sir_Konrad> So do I need to type the thing again or will you change it elky?
[22:34] <jussi01> Sir_Konrad: leave it with us, we will ahve a think about it and add it if we feel necessary. feel free to pop back in a couple of hours if you like
[22:34] <Sir_Konrad> Ok. Thanks jussi01. :)
[22:34] <Sir_Konrad> see you guys later or tomorrow.
[22:34] <Sir_Konrad> bye
[23:20] <dholbach> uds
[23:21] <Pici> yes. uds.
