[01:37] <elky> oh lookie, chimpout spam. it must be christmas holidays
[02:44]  * MenZa checks services paranoia meter.
[02:47] <Flannel> MenZa: Are services on the fritz? or is it just a regular netsplit?
[02:49] <MenZa> Flannel: I'm not sure, but I've learned the hard way not to take my chances :\

[05:15] <elky> hrm, bazhang still suffering exploded computer syndrome?
[06:11]  * mneptok stares at planet.u.c in mute horror
[06:16] <Madpilot> mneptok, giant drop-shadows of doom?
[06:16] <Madpilot> or vorian's latest oddness?
[06:22] <mneptok> vorian's latest. but the drop-shadow has also annoyed me for months.
[06:22] <Madpilot> "kinder, gentler, saner Mr. Stalcup" FAIL
[06:23] <Flannel> What drop shadow?
[06:24] <Madpilot> p.u.c has dropshadows on headers
[06:24]  * Flannel feels left out.
[06:24] <Flannel> Where?
[06:24] <Madpilot> they're rather... aggressive... on the larger ones
[06:24] <Madpilot> Flannel, if you're using Firefox 3.5.x (or the latest Epiphany) you'll see the dropshadows
[06:25] <Flannel> Ah, I'm not.
[06:25] <Flannel> And, I found an image.  It is rather annoying.
[06:25] <Madpilot> Flannel, not running 9.10 yet?
[06:25] <Flannel> Could probably give yourself a user stylesheet to stop that.
[06:25] <mneptok> Midori also shows them, so recent WebKit browsers should see them.
[06:25] <Flannel> Madpilot: I'm an LTS guy.
[06:26] <Madpilot> mneptok, current Epiph is webkit-based, so shows them
[06:28] <Flannel> If you want, this will kill them in your user stylesheets: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { text-shadow: none !important; }
[06:36] <MenZa> mneptok: That's what I did for a while when I read that.
[06:43] <elky> oh. em. gee.
[06:46] <MenZa> elky: I think that's the appropriate response.
[06:48] <Madpilot> elky, sounds about right. Also, I double-checked to make sure the "kinder/gentler/saner" post was, in fact, written by the same person...
[06:49] <elky> Madpilot, written to the same blog at least
[06:50] <elky> the CC's lack of [re]action is frustrating.
[06:50] <Madpilot> trolls are often best ignored, even if they have found their way onto p.u.c. somehow
[06:51] <elky> not when canonical resources are being used to harass people
[06:51] <elky> he's broadcasting, not blogging. he's using planet to do so.
[06:52] <elky> it's a poor reflection on the whole community to let our planetplanet instance be a tool for broadcasting harassment and violating privacy
[07:04] <MenZa> It looks like it's something written in a state of anger. That obviously doesn't justify it (also, notice his last post, mentioning how he removed all 'controversial things' from his blog).
[07:05] <MenZa> It should /definitely/ not be on p.u.c... I've noticed how all his things are syndicated to that
[07:05] <MenZa> Which seems like the core of the problem imho
[11:24] <elky_> have the attacks eased off?
[11:24] <bazhang> nope elky_
[11:24] <elky_> bazhang: did you get my message before?
[11:25] <bazhang> elky_, on memoserv ?
[11:25] <elky_> bazhang, no, here. it clearly didn't get out of my buffer before a fresh hit. <bazhang> synaptic, looks to be at staff and ubuntu members <-- just wanted an explanation of why you said this
[11:27] <bazhang> elky_, just that the great majority of <quit excess flood> were freenode and certain ubuntu members indicating ctcp version requests were higher on those
[11:27] <elky_> bazhang: can you email me logs please?
[11:27] <bazhang> err freenode staff
[11:27] <elky_> my logs are understandably spoiled ;)
[11:27] <bazhang> hehe
[11:30] <elky_> hmm, my connection hasn't gone walkies since i closed xchat...
[11:30]  * elky_ clicks the orange "x" with much trepidation...
[11:43]  * elky tilts her head at bazhang, wondering if the log will come
[12:02] <bazhang> http://paste.ubuntu.com/348534/
[12:03] <bazhang> seems my imagination then; perhaps not enough sleep and too much reading planet.ubuntu and also watching rww type with his toes in -ot
 i ttyped this with my toe
[12:04] <elky> bazhang, what irc client do you use?
[12:04] <bazhang> above is from freenode channel, and lots of others were affected as is plainly visible
[12:04] <bazhang> elky, xchat
[12:05] <elky> ok, did you get xchat putting stuff on /ignore with the last lot?
[12:05] <bazhang> let me check
[12:07] <bazhang> elky, nope, just /mode nick +iEC and then ignore *!*@* DCC CTCP
[12:08] <elky> http://paste.ubuntu.com/348535/ is what i saw of the last attack
[12:09] <elky> i'm not sure if those "you are being ctcp flooded" bits happen for channel floods or if they require the user as a target or not...
[12:09] <bazhang> the ignoring xyz@abc would seem to create the flood/quit then
[13:06] <Myrtti> Hm.
[13:06] <Pici> hmm?
[13:08] <Myrtti> Wondering if mk-88s issue has been solved, I dont have backlog
[13:08] <bazhang> there's a channel #ubottu ?
[13:09] <Pici> bazhang: looks like its registered, but only ZzeeousS is in it.
[13:10] <bazhang> Pici, right, just joined and left
[13:11] <Myrtti> Oh, mk-bb
[13:11] <Myrtti> Stupid phone fonts
[14:58] <Tm_T> nice amount of attacks today
[15:02] <jussi01> Tm_T: nice?
[15:07] <Tm_T> nice is just little away from ugly
[18:36] <Tm_T> oh, new face for me there
[21:08] <LjL> can we get rid of this goddamn !troll factoid? it just spams the channel in a non-constructive way
[21:23] <Myrtti> dangermind: hi, how can we help you?
[21:43] <mneptok> MK-BB: how can we help you?
[21:45] <jussi01> LjL: Ill have alook think about it. thanks for letting us know. Also, as you well know, suggestions are welcome
[21:53] <jussi01> nini all
[23:26] <Pricey> !ops
[23:26] <Pricey> Please check your bans in #ubuntu please.
[23:26] <Pricey> please please please
[23:26] <Pricey> please
[23:26] <niko> recursive please ?
[23:29] <tritium> Pricey: list full?
[23:29] <Pricey> tritium: We have over 150 bans.
[23:30] <Pricey> "list full" is not the only reason for us to care about managing our channels bans.
[23:31] <tritium> I wasn't implying that -- just asking.
[23:31] <niko> is there some +e via flood bots useless ?
[23:32] <Pricey> tritium: +L allows us considerably more leeway
[23:33] <Pricey> niko: they normally remove them after use, lemme check
[23:33] <Pricey> Ah yep, there's a load of old junk on there..
[23:34] <niko> as +eIb are linked, that's why i told that
[23:38] <wolter> Some PriceChild removed bans from a lot of people... You may want to check him out if he is not an op
[23:39] <Pricey> wolter: I'm an op and just making sure we're all tidy.
[23:39] <Pricey> wolter: Most of those were temporary exempts (+e) set by the floodbots to allow access for users on proxies.
[23:40] <wolter> oh you are PriceChild? nice then.. just didn't want all those porn-sending-trolls to come back
[23:40] <Pricey> wolter: Yep I am, and nope none of us do!
[23:40] <wolter> good to know.. bye
[23:40] <Pricey> wolter: you might also notice that 'pricechild' had a special cloak.
[23:41] <niko> Pricey: you have an irssi script which can manage +e like /unban 1 2 3 ?
[23:42] <Pricey> niko: nope, i just use xchat
[23:42] <niko> oh ok
[23:42] <niko> i have to write it so :)
