rwwfyi, wwww in #ubuntu has been previously removed for attitude and !ot problems. I'm about to go afk, but someone should keep an eye on him.00:06
IdleOnewill do00:07
IdleOnehe had a point about why telnet is packaged00:40
IdleOnedo people still use telnet ?00:40
LjLsure i do00:40
Picitelnet nethack.alt.org00:40
rwwBear in mind that LjL also uses PHP.00:40
IdleOneok but you guys also know what your doing00:40
ljl-telnethi00:40
IdleOneomg00:40
IdleOnekill it00:40
IdleOnebefore it grows00:41
ljl-telnetso what, should it not be packaged because some people don't know what they're doing?00:41
rwwIdleOne: you're00:41
IdleOneyes mine00:41
IdleOne:P00:41
IdleOnethank you rww00:41
ljl-telnetmind you, i guess for all intents and purposes, netcat is better00:42
rwwSomeone file an LP bug to remove all telnetd from the archive and make transition packages for openssh-server00:42
IdleOneljl-telnet: you have a good point00:42
ljl-telnetbut telnet is sorta more standard i imagine *shrug*00:42
Picitelnet servers are useful if you don't want to require any sort of authentication at all.00:42
ljl-telnetlike in telnet games!00:43

rwwAnyone around who has working Youtubes?05:15
rwwnvm, tinyogged it. To my surprise, Irconis_Charbuur in -ot (aka a few other nicks) managed to link something that's not offensive :\05:22
rww(well, I didn't listen, just watched, but still.)05:22
rwwhrm, maybe 'Non-descr' is just the default ident of some client I'm unaware of.05:24
rwwah, nope. same person. hrm.05:45
ubottudnivra called the ops in #ubuntu (GOOGOO)05:49
FlannelURL shortening is bad.  Mmmkay?06:48
rwwbut we need space to put a link about the freenode spam that we don't get because we have well-working countermeasures06:49
Flannelthe topic now looks like a google advertisement, and I have no idea if I've already read these links or what.06:50
ubottuIn ubottu, ThatBum said: !ubnotu is <reply> Ubnotu is my less-serious brother on ##club-ubuntu, our social channel.08:40

IdleOneLjL: do you think floodbot or similar could have the ability to temporarily set +f on a channel and forward user to the channel then remove the +F?17:59
IdleOneso ops could /msg bot forward nick #channel-loco18:00
LjLfloodbots can't be on more than one given channel (aside from their own utility channels) to begin with18:00
IdleOneok so a new bot18:00
LjLalso, i strongly believe putting a bot in every loco would be a surefire way to make them all move out from the official channels18:00
IdleOnethe channels could decide if they want the bot18:01
tsimpsonif they wanted that, they could just set +f on the channel18:05
tsimpsonLoCo channels are *far* less likely to be "attacked" in the same way #ubuntu was18:06
Myrttijijojohn is on it again18:08
IdleOnewell, I think it would be useful in some extreme cases of pebkac, some users just don't "get it" no matter how many times we give them the /join command18:09
tsimpsonin cases like that, you can always poke someone in -irc or in the loco to come and help18:10
tsimpsonnot as elegant as automatic forwarding, but it's better than nothing :)18:10
IdleOnetsimpson: the most recent case he was told by 4 different users in his language and given the !es twice18:10
tsimpsonthat's a clear case where you should /remove then18:11
IdleOneI did18:11
LjLexcept once we used to be able to remove *and banforward*18:11
LjLthen freenode decided they'd be fancy and stop that18:11
tsimpsonprobably because it was abused18:11
LjLoh so terribly abused18:12
LjLnot like the channels it actually *was* abused on hadn't the option of setting +g or whatever it was18:12

a931bwHello18:53
a931bwi got banned from #ubuntu for forkbomb18:53
IdleOnecorrect18:54
a931bwbut all i did is ask why it doesnt work18:54
a931bwi want to crash my pc with it18:54
IdleOneposting malicious commands is not permitted18:54
LjLdon't you see that will result in *other* people trying and crashing *their* PCs?18:54
IdleOneand we don't help people crash their pc18:54
a931bwi did tell that its forkbomb18:55
LjLlots of people might not have a clue what a "forkbomb" is18:55
Myrttiand do you know how big percentage would understand what that even means?18:55
LjL#ubuntu is full of users of all sorts18:55
a931bwok, ill promise i wont post commands like these in public18:55
LjLthank you18:56
a931bwThank you for unban18:56
a931bwbye18:56
a931bwill go crash my pc now18:56
LjLgood luck...18:56
Myrttiplease note that next time getting unbanned won't be as easy18:57
IdleOnenope it won't18:57
a931bwMyrtti ok, sorry18:58
Myrttithe what the hell19:11
Myrttioh, right19:11
knomeerr, clean up your mouth girl19:16
MyrttiI find it disturbing when a person I have no recollection of ops up on #ubuntu19:16
Myrttibut checking channel access I guess it was ok19:16
knomemaybe. :)19:17
Myrttijust scared me a bit there19:17
Piciplease give me this operate19:19
IdleOnePici: you must pass this examinated to get operate19:21
MyrttiOH HI HAY SIR19:29
* Myrtti looks at the mailing list, facedesks19:29
Myrtti*sigh*19:36
mneptoki paid for 3 nose jobs and 2 septum alignments before i unsubscribed.19:38

mneptokMyrtti: nobody bothered to pass me a napkin map or open my cell door  :(20:05
* tonyyarusso giggles at mailing list20:05
MyrttiHI HAY tonyyarusso20:07
tonyyarussoMyrtti: Hei thar - can plz let operate this me?  I is unable process done.20:09
macohow do i do an ident ban?20:09
macoits not ?=foo anymore right?20:09
Myrttino, just normal idents20:10
MyrttiI'd do *ident20:10
macook20:10
Myrttimost people IRC from a machine without the service running, so they get the squiggly tilde ~ in front of the ident20:11
macowell freenode says do ?ident20:11
tonyyarussoThat reminds me - is it even possible to ignore unidentified people?20:11
Myrttiso * bypasses that20:11
tonyyarusso(as a bloc)20:11
Myrttimaco: that's one option, certainly20:11
macoit actually warns that you shouldnt do *indent because then if they have helloident itd catch that person too20:12
macobut ok ban set now. thanks :)20:12
marienzthey're usually not useful bans if there's not an actual identd21:12
rwwOn a related note, I'm seeing people using more nick!*@* style bans recently. Not sure why, they don't seem useful to me.21:20
nhandlertonyyarusso: /ignore is client side, so it would depend on your client21:25
tonyyarussonhandler: irssi.  The mask for it shouldn't vary by client though, would it?21:26
nhandlertonyyarusso: Well, it isn't really a mask to ignore.21:26
tonyyarussorww: Sometimes you know a particular individual keeps the same nick even when banned.  I don't know the specific cases, but it happens.  *shrug*21:26
tonyyarussonhandler: It used to be possible back on dancer.21:27
nhandlertonyyarusso: You could use umode +R however21:27
rwwRight, but looking through the relevant logs, I don't think that's what happened. *shrug*21:27
nhandlerHowever, that only is for PM21:27
tonyyarussonhandler: I was hoping for channel-specific.21:27
marienzdancer let you do a per-channel per-user ignore of unidentified users? I don't remember that feature21:30
marienz(you can quiet unidentified users, but that's not what you meant, right?21:30
nhandlerAlthough, being able to use extbans in /ignore would be rather useful ;)21:31
nhandlerNow to find someone to script that21:31
marienzick extbans21:31
rwwextbans are <321:31
tonyyarussomarienz: dancer had something in the hostmask indicating identification status, n= vs. i= or something.21:32
marienzcan't do that one particularly sanely on this ircd21:32
rwwtonyyarusso: that was whether they were running an identd, not whether they were identified21:32
marienztonyyarusso: that's not identification status. That tells you if they're running an identd or not.21:32
LjLtonyyarusso: that tells you about whether they're "identified" by an identd21:32
tonyyarussooh21:32
LjLnothing to do with their nickserv status21:32
* tonyyarusso doesn't understand the difference21:32
rwwtonyyarusso: identified means identified with nickserv. identd means... well, google it.21:32
marienzhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident is pretty good21:32
marienzthe really short version is that ident is meaningless on the kind of single-user box almost everyone uses these days21:33
tonyyarussobother21:34
* rww considers setting up identd to return "tonyyarusso" on his box for demonstration purposes21:34
tonyyarussohrm.  Well, format_identify has a way of checking nickserv status - would be interesting to see an extension of that for ignores.21:34
nhandlerIt probably wouldn't be too hard to add something like that to trigger.pl21:35
marienzwhat format_identify does is very slightly different: it also shows you as unidentified if you're on a nick not grouped to the account you're identified to21:35
marienzif you do that you *can* join +r channels and talk in +q $~a channels21:35
marienzrww: extbans are <3, but there's no clean way of asking the server what its extbans mean or if an extban matches an arbitrary user. Services already has a duplicate implementation of a bunch of extban logic to work around that, doing the same in clients seems icky21:36
k-radam i literally permanantly banned from #ubuntu-offtopic ?21:46
Flannelk-rad: that's unlikely.  What makes you think that?21:59
k-radbecause i was banned ages ago, and i still cannot get in21:59
Flannelk-rad: That's because bans don't automatically expire21:59
k-raddoes that mean that i must wait more time before being allowed in ?22:00
Flannelk-rad: No, "waiting more time" would fall under the "bans have an expiration" (which they don't) category.  Instead, you need to come here and works towards a resolution of your ban (you're already halfway done!)22:01
k-radi resolve never to say that which i said that got me banned even though i believed it22:02
k-radwhat else would you have me do ?22:02
LjL!guidelines22:03
ubottuThe guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines22:03
LjL!coc22:03
ubottuThe Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ .  For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct .22:03
LjLi'd like you to read those and say whether you're prepared to respect them22:03
k-radmany people there broke the CoC22:04
LjLthat's starting with the wrong foot22:04
LjLi thought we were talking about your ban and your respect of the CoC22:04
k-radi'm sorry you are that sensitive22:05
k-radyes i respect the CoC22:05
k-radi respect the CoC22:07
LjLhopefully you'll respect the guidelines too22:08
LjLit's not up to me to remove your ban though22:08
k-radyes i agree with the irc guidelines22:08
tonyyarusso"I'm sorry you are that sensitive" is what's known as a "non-apology".22:13
k-radi apologize that he was hurt that many people other than me broke the CoC without any effect.  perhaps it is myself that is hurt, i'm sorry for responding in that manner.22:14
k-radi apologize22:16
Flannelk-rad: And you'll follow the IRC guidelines in the future?22:17
k-radyes i will22:17
Flannelk-rad: And, since this came into question in the logs, you won't try to get around a ban if you should ever be banned in the future?22:17
k-radno i will not.  i did not intentionally try and get around a ban.  i had another nick i wanted to use.22:18
Flannelk-rad: Alright.22:18
k-radone that i paid for a long time ago22:18
k-radand i had been around freenode elsewhere with that nick22:19
Flannelk-rad: I have removed your ban from #ubuntu-offtopic, please join and say something there now to verify I haven't missed anything.22:19
Flannelk-rad: Alright, perfect.  Anything else I can help you with today?22:20
k-radno.  thank you22:21
Flannelk-rad: Have a nice day.22:21

ubottuThe RT kernel is the Ubuntu kernel with a realtime preemption patch applied. It is included in Ubuntu Studio by default. For more information please see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime/22:51
FlannelIs it no longer included in studio by default?22:53
LjLi think i heard it'd not22:56
nhandlerRead the top of the wiki page22:56
nhandlerThe -preempt and -rt kernels are no longer being developed due to lack of support. Focus has instead turned to the -lowlatency and -realtime kernels, particularly for the the release of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. The long-term goal is to have -lowlatency in the official Ubuntu repositories, while maintaining -realtime in a dedicated PPA.22:57
Flannelnhandler: That'd be for 11.04, what about 10.10?22:58
LjLthat's interesting considering JACK doesn't even really work without -rt :\22:58
FlannelOh, there it is.22:58
FlannelAs of this writing, there are no alternative kernels (including -realtime and -lowlatency) available for Maverick Meerkat in either the official repositories or any Ubuntu Studio recommended repositories (such as that maintained by Alessio Igor Bogani). It is recommended that you use the default -generic kernel with Maverick.22:58
