ubottuNoTownKasper called the ops in #ubuntu ()06:01
rwwHola. The last few paragraphs of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines are redundant with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/AppealProcess , and it'd probably be less confusing if the former just linked to the latter instead.06:57
Madpilotrww, nice entitlement issue w/ fourstar on #u07:29
Madpilotpity he left before the edu-boot could be applied...07:29
rwwoh hey, I'm still here.07:29
IdleOneI was slow on the trigger, wanted to give him a " You should know better"07:30
rwwlies, yours says "Have a nice day"07:32
IdleOneonly when I want it to07:33
IdleOneoh btw, GET OFF MY LAWN!07:33
Tm_T?07:34
IdleOnehe understood :)07:34
IdleOnehehe07:34
Tm_T...07:37
Tm_T1) you didn't answer his issue  2) that was rude, inside joke or not07:38
IdleOnewhat issue?07:39
IdleOnethe guideline link thing. I had no opinion on it.07:40
IdleOne2) I don't believe he took it as me being rude.07:41
IdleOneHe knew exactly what I meant but if joking now and then with regulars who know us is out of line. I will remember not to anymore07:41
Tm_Tso felt an urge to chase him away without even commenting an issue?07:42
bazhangnah. he took it as a joke. replied in -ot a moment later to that effect07:42
Tm_Tsure07:42
bazhanghe should be able to idle here, along with LjL07:42
IdleOneI still don't know what issue, he knows how to use the bot to submit factoids, he is also well versed on editing wiki pages. he knows who to talk to about having the wiki updated.07:43
IdleOneand yeah +1 to bazhang07:43
Tm_TIdleOne: then say it to him, don't just tell to go away07:43
bazhangprobably just wanted to stop by07:43
IdleOnerww /should/ be in here07:43
IdleOnea half hour had passed, he forgot he was even in here07:44
IdleOneI'm not sure exactly what the problem is but I am feeling like I have to justify my every word07:45
bazhanglets move on07:45
Tm_Tnah07:45
IdleOneI didn't see you offer any help to him on the issue07:45
Tm_TI just find it a bit rude to only chase user away (:07:46
IdleOnebut I'll move along07:46
Tm_Tnp07:46
IdleOneand I find it extremely rude to be called on every thing I do07:46

bazhangohir, hi11:19
ohirhi. who operates floodbot?11:20
bazhangohir, what do you need with floodbot?11:20
ohirone or two second of delay before it will kick me out of #ubuntu. To help nickserv update its bases11:21
bazhangohir, auto identify you mean?11:21
ohiryes11:22
bazhangohir, which client11:22
ohirbazhang: I have autoident to nickserv and it goes before joins11:22
ohirbazhang: irssi11:22
bazhangohir, not sure there, perhaps #freenode or #irssi could help with the username:password config for that.11:23
ohirbazhang: I can artifically delay #ubuntu join when I do client startup. Its morec complicated if connection get lost and irrsi rejoins itself11:24
bazhangohir, then that seems best, doubtful floodbot would be re-written for that11:24
bazhangthe channel is not always +r thankfully11:24
ohirbazhang: I _do_ have autoidentify on. Problem is that it is seen on my whois a 0,5-2s later (depends on how busy network currently is11:25
bazhangseems to coincide with junior high school break times11:25
ohirheh, likely11:25
bazhangsorry for the inconvenience, by the way11:26
ohirI do understand need for it. Just a little delay or even double check whois can resolve11:27
bazhangyep. outside my field of knowledge or say so, unfortunately.11:27
ohirbazhang: where floodbot source is?11:28
bazhangheh11:28
bazhangdont think its open source actually :)11:28
ohirah, so gimme one who wrote it to discuss :)11:29
ohiror just let her/him know that it should go this way: on newnick join -> (optionally mute nick) -> delay 1s -> whois check -> delay 1s -> whois check. If unregistered -> go protein check.11:31
bazhangohir, ok. will pass on message. no guarantee of activation though11:33
ohirthanks11:34
ohirnice11:35
LjLhi11:35
LjLi was told someone was inquiring about the floodbots11:35
bazhangleave you to it then11:35
bazhangLjL, it is ohir11:35
LjLohir: hi11:35
ohirLjL: yep, I did11:35
LjLohir: i wrote those monsters. what is the matter with them?11:35
ohirLjL: I ause autoidentify. And routinely get kicked to unreg because there is a delay in nickserv db update11:36
ohirIMO it should go this way: on newnick join -> (optionally mute nick) -> delay 1s -> whois check -> delay 1s -> whois check. If unregistered -> go protein check.11:36
LjLohir: that's a long-time problem with freenode indeed... i *think* (not really sure at all) staff recommends to use SASL to avoid that11:37
LjLohir, well, the "mute nick" part would be absolutely necessary, because the spambots that we want to keep out usually start flooding *immediately*11:37
ohirLjL: I know11:37
LjLohir: what's more, i strongly suspect (because of previous tests) that wouldn't even be good enough, since if someone joins and immediately starts spamming, there's too much server lag, in general, to mute them before they start11:38
ohirLjL: just its more convinient to mute than to kick11:38
LjLohir: and finally, you see, that would cause a *lot* of ugly mode-spam in #ubuntu, which we could really do without :\11:38
ohirLjL: yep, this is right guess11:38
ohirLjL: what about identify to floodbot?11:39
LjLohir: can't your client just introduce a short delay between identifying and joining, so that joining unidentified is unlikely?11:39
ohirits a small percentile of users who are sophisticated enough to use autoidentify and go #ubuntu11:40
LjLohir: well... the floodbots are written with the idea in mind that they'll never really deal with PM or permissions (as those would be additional security issues that aren't really taken account of in the code). but even if i tried to do that, what would be the gain? it's still very likely, unless you set a delay in your client, that the time between identify-to-bot and join would be too short11:40
ohirLjL: it can. On startup it can be done easily. Anything more (ie server change) it needs more than that11:41
ohirLjL: ok, thats an argument.11:41
ohirsimplicity pays11:41
ohiras to identify - I can identify to bot before I join11:42
LjLohir: perhaps i could make the bots auto-invite when they detect a cloak change, and if you have join-on-invite set in your client...11:42
LjLbut having that set is in general a bad idea :\11:42
ohirbut its good attitude to have it simple and secure11:42
ohirLjL: ow, thats good idea11:42
LjLohir: well but you can identify to nickserv before you join, too - it's just that nickserv isn't lightning fast (but neither is floodbot)11:42
LjLi'll look into doing the inviting thing11:43
ohirLjL: I am doing autoidentify. Then have even servmesg reply wait. But somewhat it is not enough in congestion time11:43
ohirLjL: inviting is good solution11:43
LjLohir: if you want to ask in #freenode too whether they have some smart solution (again, i vaguely recall SASL could at least mitigate that), i'm glad to lurk and learn11:44
ohirLjL: SASL is not solution 'for the masses'11:45
ohirand yes, the real solution is to have unregistered users silent on channels with an M mode11:47
ohirM as example11:47
ohirwhat should be done in ircd11:47
* ohir reads freenode's sasl howto.11:51
ohirits certainly not for the masses11:51
LjLohir, well, you said that auto-identifying and auto-joining isn't for the masses either, though11:58
ohirright :)12:02
LjLohir: ok, if you want you can try unidentifying, joining -unregged and identifying, and seeing what happens (if this works)12:03
LjLohir: oh - you must not be in #ubuntu while you do that12:04
ohirok12:05
ohirits better to quit then12:05
LjLseems a bit overkill, but ok :P12:05
ohirseem it works12:15
LjLcool12:15
ohirthough still I need to get rid of unregged12:16
LjLwell yeah12:16
ohirLjL: thanks12:16
LjLwould you like to get kicked automatically too? :P12:16
LjLi'm not sure others would appreciate that :D12:16
ohirfrom unregged? yes12:16
ohirLjL: only if autoinvite kicks in12:16
LjLohir: also you do know you can opt out of being redirected to other channels? that way you'd not end up in unregged12:16
LjLohir: yeah but you must understand that people are often confused by things like /invite. actually even plain messages can confuse them enough. so kicking them would be, uhm...12:17
LjLi can already imagine the "WHY DID YOU KICK ME I DIDNT DO ANYTHING"s in here12:17
ohirLjL: for most 'by-hand' users it would be good too. Prove you're protein based then autoinvite on #ubuntu and kick from unregg12:17
ohirheh12:17
ohiryep, you're right12:17
LjLohir: work in the frame of mind that given the bots give people the message "Type /join #ubuntu to join now", oftentimes people type12:18
LjL /join #ubuntu to join now12:18
LjLthat's how people are12:18
ohir"tell me a first two letters and I will autoinvite you back to main channel and kick you from there"12:18
LjLbut then they won't be able to see the explanatory message that comes up *after* they've given the answer12:19
ohirwill promote read&understand attitude12:19
ohir"tell me more" "end with +A to get autoinvited"12:20
LjLwell if i really wanted to promote that, i wouldn't have added this questions thing in the first place - just let them register :P12:20
LjLhmm12:20
LjLi guess i could do that, but it wouldn't be any use in your case (i.e. no answer, just invite-on-registered-user)12:20
ohirLjL: I am telling about extending current behavior for users who understand12:20
ohirI know in my case it is not. But others may use it12:21
LjLhonestly i doubt it. people who are in -unregged actually answering their question are mostly clueless... the clueful people have registered already. so i don't think having them kicked would help them any12:21
ohirif they register by hand (incurring enough delay for nickserv to update) they never got to unregg in first place12:22
ohirothers may use it (or not, so then it is feature for plain fun :)12:23
ohirreal solution is +M mode forr channel12:23
LjLwhat is +M?12:24
ohirMute unregged12:24
LjLah, that's +q $~a12:24
LjL(on this network)12:24
ohirIIRC 1996 talks about what would be nice to have12:24
LjLused to be +R12:24
LjLhowever, +r is only temporary in #ubuntu, it usually is free-for-all12:25
LjL(though that's increasingly rare these days :\)12:25
ohiron ircnet +R was just about real ident service12:25
LjLso muting all unregistered users isn't really an option12:25
ohirLjL it is an option12:25
LjLwell here, on Hyperion, we used to have +r = only registered users can join and +R = only registered users can speak12:25
ohirLjL: new unregisterred user comes. She is muted on #main but she is being drawn to unreg12:26
LjLthe problem is *old* unregistered users12:26
LjLif you are already in #ubuntu because you joined while +r wasn't set, you really should not suddenly end up muted12:26
LjLand the notice that the server sent on trying to speak while +12:27
ohirhm.....12:27
LjL+R was suboptimal, last time i checked12:27
ohirLjL: but at least it can solve join-spam-run bots12:27
ohirLjL. +M312:28
LjLso can sporadic +r, and it's doing it just fine :P12:28
ohirmute unregged for 3 secs12:28
LjLthat doesn't exist here12:28
LjLthere's no way to have something like that, and i doubt Seven developers would add it at my request ;)12:28
ohirhm, I need charybids source and some time to dig in. It would be fun to see how nowadays ircd looks inside12:29
LjLi'm not familiar with it either12:30
ohirAFAIR seven is fork of charybdis12:30
ohirI am not so sure if they would not12:32
LjLwell i'm leaving for a bit now. thanks for the input :)12:32
ohireach and every irc network has same problem with spammers12:32
LjLoh, well, you try asking them. honestly, i'm not in the best of relationships with freenode staff ;(12:32

bazhangJordan_U, saw that, in future please call !ops in such a case (+1)12:38
nhandlerFYI, using 'nick:password' as the server password should cause you to be identified prior to joining channels.12:44
bazhangyep. just no idea how to do that in irssi12:45
nhandlerbazhang: /SERVER ADD -auto -network worknet irc.mycompany.com 6667 password12:47
nhandlerThat is from http://www.irssi.org/documentation/startup12:47
bazhangnhandler, thanks12:49
bazhangusing xchat here, have yet to take that leap12:49
gnomefreakirssi here. cant you just add it to the servers section (the top of /conf12:49
gnomefreak)12:49
gnomefreakhere is my settings http://pastebin.com/fY1qUbSx  may that can help12:50
gnomefreakoh i think i dropped mozilla.org from conf. but it was added at the top section12:51
gnomefreaknope still there12:52
nhandlerBut it is probably best not to recommend editing the conf file by hand and instead to modify it from within irssi using the command I posted above (like the irssi folks recommend)12:59

topyliok, if something that does just what he wants is not what he wants, then he's difficult to help13:50
bazhanghe's not even asking for help. just griping13:51
elkyerm how does one alias with the bot?13:51
bazhang  factoid is <alias > other factoid ?13:51
elkyubottu, webscale-#ubuntu-offtopic is <alias> mongodb-#ubuntu-offtopic13:52
ubottuI'll remember that, elky13:52
macotopyli: he wants to use normal ubuntu NOT netbook edition but without the hassle of reinstalling everything13:53
elkyand without having to do stuff in gdm13:53
bazhangor even putting ubuntu-desktop in, has to be for computer illiterates or else he'd install ARCH13:53
macoinstall ubuntu-desktop and uninstall the ubuntu-netbook stuff so then no having to use gdm13:54
elkybut that's not magically done for him13:54
elkyif he has to do things he might as well do different things13:54
elky^ that's about the best summary of his arguement I think13:54
