| zub | by this point I have to say I don't care about being able to go to #ubuntu, though I do wonder why have I got the ban | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| LjL | zub: the issue is that you appears to have been caught by a ban on some possibly malicious people/bots. | 00:00 |
| zub | ok, finally some info | 00:00 |
| zub | after two days of kefkesque replies | 00:00 |
| LjL | zub: i assume you're very sure you don't have anything to do with them bots? | 00:00 |
| zub | I am sure and I want to know why and why banned me... | 00:01 |
| LjL | zub: it's your ident. may i ask what it is? it seems relatively unique. | 00:01 |
| mneptok | zub: they did not ban *you*. they banned abusive clients and your ident/mask is caught in that net. | 00:01 |
| zub | from what I know I got the ban on may 15th, and last time I was in #ubuntu was on may 10th | 00:01 |
| zub | mneptok: aah | 00:02 |
| zub | I thought the "ident" means me = my registered nick, though obviously I don't know freenode | 00:02 |
| zub | funny thing is that up to now nobody told me | 00:02 |
| LjL | zub: nope, your ident appears to be "U2FsdGVkX1" | 00:02 |
| mneptok | zub: change ident and the problem will resolve itself. however, if it turns out later that you ARE one of the abusive clients (and i'm not saying you are) we will probably escalate the issue to Freenode. | 00:02 |
| LjL | zub: are you connecting from some sort of institution perhaps? | 00:03 |
| mneptok | zub: in other words, "tread lightly once that ident is changed" | 00:03 |
| zub | LjL: yes - http://www-en.fjfi.cvut.cz/DesktopDefault.aspx?ModuleId=1379 | 00:03 |
| LjL | zub: then i assume you can't change that ident. hmm | 00:04 |
| mneptok | LjL: a previous abusive client with that ident was from chello.nl, so i doubt it's institutional. | 00:04 |
| zub | well, now I'm finally getting some info, which is good | 00:04 |
| zub | as for the particular ban - I don't care, it can stay in place | 00:04 |
| zub | it just that I had the feeling I was banned personally and that made me moderately angry and curious... | 00:04 |
| mneptok | zub: it wasn't you. but i can ban you personally if you'd like justification for you indignation. ;) | 00:05 |
| LjL | zub: until we can discuss the issue with the operator who set the ban, if you want, we can set a temporary exemption for you from the ban. but it will have to be reset every time you join. just ask here. would you like one now? | 00:05 |
| zub | hm, so, before I leave you... could anybody pls. explain this ident thing on freenode? | 00:05 |
| LjL | zub: type /whois zub | 00:06 |
| LjL | it will show that [01:06:10] [Whois] zub is U2FsdGVkX1@linux.fjfi.cvut.cz (David) | 00:06 |
| mneptok | zub: it's not just Freenode. it's part of the IRC RFC. | 00:06 |
| zub | well, the idents here seem different than what I'm used to | 00:06 |
| LjL | zub: zub!U2FsdGVkX1@linux.fjfi.cvut.cz is called your "hostmask", and in particular the "U2FsdGVkX1" part is called your ident | 00:06 |
| mneptok | ident daemons on Unix servers usually use UNAME for ident | 00:06 |
| zub | well, normally I see ^username or ~username here, not U2FsdGVkX1 | 00:07 |
| LjL | zub: your ident can be set in two ways. either from your client, or from an "identd" daemon running on your machine. in this case, it's the latter - and that means you can't change it yourself, the sysadmin has to | 00:07 |
| zub | (on ircnet for example) | 00:07 |
| LjL | zub: well i don't know why that is, but maybe your sysadmin treats freenode specially for some reason unknown to me | 00:07 |
| zub | ah, I see you have a reasonable ident - so I wonder how come I have this | 00:08 |
| zub | anyway - I giess that's all I needed to no | 00:08 |
| LjL | i have no idea | 00:08 |
| LjL | all i know from the web is this: The first several characters – U2FsdGVkX1/ – are the base64 encoding of “salted__”. | 00:08 |
| mneptok | zub: also, if your sysadmin uses the same ident string for *every* user, that's an extremely poor idea. | 00:08 |
| LjL | so this is not a random ident | 00:08 |
| LjL | but i have no clue why you would have it | 00:08 |
| zub | mneptok: by "user" I mean $USER = zub | 00:08 |
| LjL | zub: that's usually what the ident is set to, indeed, the user name on the machine | 00:08 |
| zub | ok, I'll look into why does it eng up with such ugly string | 00:09 |
| mneptok | zub: it is possible to tell an ident daemon to return the same ident string for every user. this is a terrible idea. ensure your sysadmin is not doing this, or is struck with a cluebat. | 00:09 |
| zub | anyway now I know all I needed (apart from why I ahev such ugly ident, which is for me to investigate) | 00:09 |
| LjL | zub: i'm sorry for the delay in letting you know, but we were a bit puzzled as well. | 00:10 |
| zub | I got the assumption (wrong one) that freenode just reinterprets the ident somehow | 00:10 |
| zub | I wodner why, though... I do not wish to pry into your secrets :-P | 00:10 |
| zub | but it felt kafquesque... | 00:10 |
| zub | anyway, so I consider this resolved... I don't need any exception and I don't care if the ban stays in place | 00:11 |
| zub | thanks and bye | 00:11 |
| LjL | zub: well just pop back here if you do need one later | 00:11 |
| mneptok | zub: well, i can /kick you, and prove there is an exit. with Kafka, there is *never* an exit. ;) | 00:11 |
| LjL | @mark #ubuntu-ops zub Please provide an exempt for zub from #ubuntu-ops-monitor when they request one. They're seemingly caught by an ident ban on a bunch of bots. | 00:12 |

| tsimpson | Pici: I think that's probably a good idea and moving that to another factoid | 13:37 |
| Pici | tsimpson: great, I'll make the change then. | 13:37 |

| Testbe_ | hello | 22:04 |
| Testbe_ | i want complain | 22:04 |
| LjL | hi | 22:04 |
| Testbe_ | LjL: Why can BluesKaj always post the list | 22:04 |
| Testbe_ | i do not need it | 22:04 |
| LjL | Testbe_: blueskaj didn't "post a list", he called the ops to deal with you | 22:04 |
| Testbe_ | yes he post it | 22:05 |
| Testbe_ | he did | 22:05 |
| LjL | ok so he did | 22:05 |
| LjL | who cares | 22:05 |
| Testbe_ | he typed !ops > and ! ops | | 22:05 |
| Testbe_ | and it annoys me always to get a pm | 22:05 |
| LjL | Testbe_: the point is, you're really not supposed to say things like "everyone stop talking" and "we can't help you because i need help now" on #Ubuntu | 22:05 |
| Testbe_ | and to get a highlight | 22:05 |
| LjL | Testbe_: well then perhaps you shouldn't troll the channel | 22:05 |
| LjL | then people wouldn't call ops on you | 22:05 |
| Testbe_ | and pms are forbidden | 22:05 |
| LjL | no they aren't | 22:05 |
| Testbe_ | i do not know how he did this | 22:05 |
| Testbe_ | to call an op | 22:06 |
| Testbe_ | s | 22:06 |
| LjL | PMs are not "forbidden", i don't know where you get that idea | 22:06 |
| Testbe_ | i feel worst harassment | 22:06 |
| Testbe_ | ok | 22:06 |
| Testbe_ | it is the rules | 22:06 |
| LjL | which rules? | 22:06 |
| Testbe_ | "Ask your question in the channel that is most relevant to your query" | 22:06 |
| Testbe_ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 22:06 |
| LjL | and that forbids PMs, how? | 22:07 |
| Testbe_ | there stands he should ask in the channel | 22:07 |
| Testbe_ | and not me in the query | 22:07 |
| genii-around | Testbe_: Which actually in this case when you asked about installing kubuntu, should have been the #kubuntu channel | 22:07 |
| LjL | you're misreading it. | 22:07 |
| LjL | that rule absolutely doesn't forbid PMs | 22:07 |
| Testbe_ | ok | 22:07 |
| Testbe_ | you should add this rule | 22:07 |
| Testbe_ | it is very annoying to be highlighted | 22:08 |
| LjL | no | 22:08 |
| Corey | Testbe_: Most unlikely. | 22:08 |
| LjL | we shouldn't | 22:08 |
| LjL | Testbe_: are you Lars? | 22:08 |
| Testbe_ | no | 22:08 |
| Testbe_ | okay can i get voice | 22:08 |
| LjL | Testbe_: only if you understand that you are really not supposed to behave like you behaved | 22:08 |
| Testbe_ | ok | 22:08 |
| LjL | Testbe_: or for that matter, to complain loudly if someone highlights you | 22:08 |
| Testbe_ | less arroganze ? | 22:08 |
| LjL | Testbe_: less of the whole "i need help so everyone shut up" thing | 22:09 |
| Testbe_ | ok | 22:09 |
| Testbe_ | thanks | 22:09 |
| Testbe_ | but everybody talkes | 22:09 |
| Testbe_ | and writes something | 22:09 |
| LjL | that's what a big channel causes | 22:09 |
| LjL | can't be helped | 22:09 |
| Testbe_ | ok ok | 22:09 |
| Corey | Testbe_: Quite. That's why you ask your question all on one line, and wait for people to assist. | 22:09 |
