ubottuUbuntu bug 513915 in guadalinex "IRC Clients join Ubuntu channels by default" [Undecided,New]09:55
Myrttiperhaps they missed the point...09:55
ikoniayes, thats intended behaviour09:57
Myrttiikonia: I meant, if the person who commented missed the point09:58
Myrttithat bugreport is basically what I wrote an email to the IRCC council about after planning to put a blanket ban on the whole Spanish ip range09:59
ikoniawhoaaaa that's a big ban10:00
Myrttiyes, well, I was getting a bit frustrated with the HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ALGUEN HABLA ESPANOL stuff10:01

Myrttirvffathgak k-line?10:31
jpdstonyyarusso: Dude, you making mirrors with ubumirror?10:37
tonyyarussojpds: That's correct.10:38
* jpds hugs tonyyarusso.10:38
* tonyyarusso hugs back10:38
tonyyarussoIt appears to work rather nicely.10:38
jpdstonyyarusso: Do let us know if you have any problems with it, we're trying to get it into lucid.10:39
tonyyarussoOoooh, nifty10:39
tonyyarussojpds: My only gripe is that it would be kinda handy if it had a verbose mode that would give some sort of statement about how much data was to be downloaded, and ideally, a progress bar of such, similar to what apt-mirror does.  Normally it runs with cron, but occasionally I want to futz with it interactively and it'd be nice to have some idea how long it was going to take.10:40
jpdstonyyarusso: --stats?10:40
tonyyarussoAs far as actual *problems*, I haven't noticed any yet, and I've been using it since November.10:40
gnomefreakMyrtti: did you get nptffqwm "so channel" as well as rvffathgak  assuming it was same issue? and she has a point were they/him k-lined?10:42
tonyyarussojpds: Um, I don't think my copy has --stats...10:42
tonyyarussoperhaps I should update10:43
Myrttignomefreak: they hit -fi with the usual gnaa bull10:43
jpdstonyyarusso: No, rsync has a --stats option, wasn't sure if that was what you wanted.10:43
tonyyarussojpds: oh.10:44
gnomefreakMyrtti: ah10:44
Myrttior rather, latter did10:44
tonyyarussojpds: Perhaps not quite that verbose, but sort of.10:48
tonyyarussojpds: have you ever used apt-mirror?10:48
jpdstonyyarusso: No, I've only used rsync for mirrors.10:48
tonyyarussojpds: Basically what it does is after calculating what needs to be updated it give a one-line message along the lines of "249 MB needs to be downloaded", and then shows a marker for each download thread it launches, the number of which is configurable.  So, if you set it to use 20 threads, you know it's getting close to done when the last thread launches.  That part ends up looking something like "[20]...[19]...[18]...[17]..."10:50
Myrttiopinions of aleanne82?10:51
tonyyarussojpds: Basically all I want is a) How much data will be downloaded during this run?  b) Roughly what percentage of the way through that download am I currently?10:51

jussi01gnomefreak: yeah, everyone gets them12:05
gnomefreakjussi01: yeah found that out in #freenode12:05
nikognomefreak: it's because your client tried to answer to ctcp request to someone who left the network12:06
jussi01gnomefreak: hopefully it should be fixed with the new ircd in a couple of days12:06

MenZaI'd rather not have that happen today14:55
Myrttitoday is a total nuthouse14:56
MenZaI'm *hoping* we'll catch a break with the migration to seven14:56
PiciMyrtti: Did you ever finish those aliases?14:56
MyrttiPici: no, I've been grunting the whole day14:56
Myrttiand the whole week14:56

MyrttiPici: if you have any, go ahead14:56
MyrttiI can't concentrate on them, not with this14:57
PiciMyrtti: I'll try to do some, just been really busy at work14:57
* MenZa feels bad for not getting anything done, despite not having other obligations :\14:57
Myrttibtw, don't feel bad for having the attacks. apparently some channels in the IRCnet have been overtaken by hostile people and they're holding the channels on ransom15:03
tonyyarussois this one of those silly networks that doesn't have staff and registration and the like?15:10
Myrttiyup15:10
Myrttiit's the de facto standard in Finland, though...15:11

tsimpsonactually, supybot.alwaysJoinOnInvite is False, so I don't know _why_ it worked17:17
PiciMaybe it knew I was an admin and thats why it joined?17:18
tsimpsonand there was no netsplit I could see17:18
geniitsimpson: Yeah that was weird. FloodBotK2 announced one though. Right after that I started getting more random-name CTCP. One got K-lined, I think the other 3-5 left17:19

betzgreetings21:39
mneptokbetz: how can we help21:39
betzi just wanted to join the ubuntu channel, and i get a 'you are banned message'21:40
mneptok@login21:40
ubottuThe operation succeeded.21:40
betzi am new to ubuntu, maybe joined twice the channel last year, so i really dont knwo why i should be banned21:40
mneptokbetz: give me a moment21:40
betzi had an incident with the freenode server few days ago because i clicked a spam link on the drupal channel which got me blocked on the freenode servers, but i got access again after mailing the freenode staff21:41
betzmaybe it has to do something with that21:41
betzmneptok: ok, thanks21:42
mneptokbetz: your IP address was used to spam a malicious URL to #ubuntu21:43
Myrttijust a quick check - the migration happens at 0730 utc or 1930 utc?21:43
mneptokbetz: is this a connection you share with others? (e.g. university or company uplink)21:44
betzyeah, that was the samp link i clicked,firefox opened and fired all windows and error messages which i didn't understand anything of21:44
betzbut really i'm a fair person21:44
mneptokbetz: welp, your machine got hijacked because you decided to click random URLs from unknown users.21:45
betzmneptok: can it be undone? i dont see anything wrong now,21:45
betzis it still sending malicious links?21:46
mneptokbetz: spend the weekend repeating the "I will not click random URLs on IRC, e-mail, or other mediums" mantra, and return next week when you have learned that frantically clicking anything you are told to click is not a good idea, security-wise. ;)21:46
betzreally? :)21:46
mneptokreally.21:46
betzok21:47
mneptokbeing judicious about opening URLs is like Item 1 in the "How to stay safe on the Internet" list.21:47
mneptoknow you know why.21:47
betzbut it was a really nasty link, it was written like it was from the freenode staff itself :(21:47
mneptokat least it wasn't an Uzbekistani credit card hacker that stole your identity.21:48
betzlucky i dont have a credit card :)21:48
mneptokwould Freenode staff direct you to peoplesprimary.com to get information about a malicious site?21:49
mneptokthink about it.21:49
