| kanliot | Please, i would like the team cloak for my team in launchpad that the bot mentioned. i'm on the lubuntu team https://launchpad.net/~kanliot | 00:27 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | kanliot: See other channel, you'd have to go for an unaffiliated clo9ak. | 00:27 |
| kanliot | lol | 00:27 |
| kanliot | ok | 00:28 |
| Unit193 | At this point. | 00:28 |
| EvilResistance | kanliot: unless your team/group places a valid GRF-f for a channel here, you'd have to get an unaffiliated cloak. | 00:30 |
| EvilResistance | (here being freenode) | 00:30 |
| EvilResistance | its how i have an ubuntu secondary cloak (I'm an Ubuntu member) but also a cloak for my group/company (TrekWeb) | 00:31 |
| EvilResistance | unless the ubuntu cloaking policies change or smth. | 00:31 |
| Unit193 | EvilResistance: Nope, it's still Ubuntu members getting it, or bots. | 00:32 |
| EvilResistance | that's what i thought | 00:32 |
| * EvilResistance would expect a change in Ubuntu cloaking policies to be reflected in the ubuntu-irc mailing list | 00:32 | |
| benonsoftware | Hi | 01:34 |
| benonsoftware | We are setting up the #ubuntugeeksquad channel, however should we have - between each word? | 01:35 |
| benonsoftware | Could we please have ubot2 and if possible ubuntulog bots please | 02:11 |
| Unit193 | Firstly, did you follow this while creating? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/CreatingChannels Notice the "naming conventions" sections? | 02:12 |
| benonsoftware | Yes | 02:12 |
| benonsoftware | (Oops, sorry I forgot to note we moved the channel to #ubuntu-geeksquad) | 02:13 |
| Unit193 | You would have to send an email for the log client. | 02:13 |
| benonsoftware | Okies, thanks Unit193 | 02:13 |
| Unit193 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots has some good info, but as you know, I have no control over those bots or how channel naming goes. | 02:14 |
| === Staffpony is now known as Fuchs | ||
| Fuchs | LjL: buona sera, posso farti una domanda? | 17:08 |
| LjL | Fuchs: selbstverständlich | 17:09 |
| Fuchs | LjL: not meant as an offense, but you might know that: the !list problem, why is this (almost) only seen with italians? | 17:10 |
| Fuchs | LjL: was there some kind of missinformation in a kind of magazine or well known web forum or such? | 17:10 |
| StaffRingedSeal | I suspect it's the same reason why Finnish IRC mafia is so strong | 17:10 |
| LjL | Fuchs, i have no idea honestly, but it's happened for a long time, so if it was misinformation somewhere, it went on long... i think it's just that for some reason IRC warez are very popular in italy, but i wouldn't know | 17:11 |
| StaffRingedSeal | kids show/teach each other how to use an app and explain what the app is for | 17:11 |
| Fuchs | oh, okay | 17:11 |
| Fuchs | it's just sad that everytime someone with .it joins and writes ciao, my alarm bells ring :( | 17:11 |
| LjL | Fuchs: the italian operators didn't quite seem to realize that it was only italians doing that, when i mentioned it to them | 17:11 |
| LjL | Fuchs: it happens to some degree in their channel too, but it seemed like they assumed it was universal | 17:12 |
| ZarroBoogs | AlanBell posted this in #ubuntu-ops, and it seems that the problem is spread out on other channels/ircnets as well.: http://www.yetanothertechblog.com/2009/04/14/firefox-hangs-because-of-malware/ | 17:12 |
| Mkaysi | Does !List problem mean that Supybot users wait for it to tell them list of available commands? | 17:12 |
| Fuchs | LjL: according to my grep and memories it unfortunately is, that's why I am asking | 17:12 |
| ZarroBoogs | The meat of that is in the comments btw. | 17:12 |
| ZarroBoogs | Mkaysi: in warez channels !list would give you a list of files available for dcc (download) | 17:13 |
| ZarroBoogs | I was a dumb kid once. | 17:13 |
| * Mkaysi has been at IRC little over year and hasn't ever seen such channel | 17:13 | |
| ZarroBoogs | You won't see anything like that on freenode. | 17:13 |
| Mkaysi | s/commands/plugins/ | 17:13 |
| Mkaysi | Try joining #supybot and saying !list :) | 17:13 |
| ZarroBoogs | I'm well aware of what it does for a supybot ;) | 17:14 |
| Mkaysi | :) | 17:14 |
| StaffRingedSeal | ah fresh blood | 17:14 |
| Fuchs | LjL: well, thanks anyway, e una bella serata :) | 17:15 |
| LjL | ZarroBoogs: i'm not sure i understand what that link is saying honestly... basically that italians get infected by stuff because they download warez? | 17:16 |
| Mkaysi | Ok, now I have seen such bot | 17:16 |
| ZarroBoogs | LjL: The link sort of goes all over the place with *why* it happens. The information I got from it was that other people were having the issue with ciao -> !list | 17:17 |
| LjL | well it happens in several freenode channels, so no particular reason to think it was limited to freenode either | 17:18 |
| Fuchs | it definitely isn't (limited to freenode) | 17:18 |
| LjL | maybe it's just like someone mentioned, they search for channels (on any network, using ircsearch or whatever) that have many users, and somehow assume there's warez there | 17:18 |
| StaffRingedSeal | or don't assume, they just go in the big channels and issue the command just to see if someone replies | 17:22 |
| Fuchs | maybe I get the chance to ask one some day | 17:22 |
| AlanBell | I think this article and the two linked tutorials are the source of the problem http://www.mytechnology.eu/2008/05/23/guida-come-scaricare-da-mirc-e-lista-di-canali-e-servers-da-cui-scaricare/ | 17:22 |
| StaffRingedSeal | I assume that if configured to that usecase, the client would automatically reply with a DCC'd list of downloadable files | 17:22 |
| Fuchs | unfortunately my italian skills are between nonexistant and horrible | 17:22 |
| bazhang | I can read | 17:23 |
| ZarroBoogs | Fuchs: I can only say ciao and !list | 17:23 |
| Fuchs | AlanBell: the article at least starts like that, telling users that IRC is a good source for such material, but it even lists networks (which are not us) | 17:23 |
| ZarroBoogs | Actually, I remember enough latin to get the gist of basic sentences. | 17:23 |
| Fuchs | bazhang: so do I, but that doesn't help :) | 17:23 |
| Fuchs | ZarroBoogs: yes, reading or listening to is not a big issue if I have some context, my french and spanish help there. But speaking / writing: no way | 17:24 |
| bazhang | Fuchs, getting warez? or stopping them | 17:24 |
| AlanBell | Fuchs: yeah, but it shows how to find all the channels on a network and freenode will be in the mirc list of networks | 17:24 |
| Fuchs | bazhang: talking to them :) | 17:24 |
| bazhang | hehe | 17:24 |
| AlanBell | and #ubuntu will be one of the biggest channels | 17:24 |
| StaffRingedSeal | http://tecnoblog.girlpower.it/p2p/come-scaricare-file-canale-irc-tutorial-parte-2 | 17:25 |
| StaffRingedSeal | :-( | 17:25 |
| ZarroBoogs | The largest channel on the largest irc network. | 17:25 |
| StaffRingedSeal | Per sapere che file hanno questi bot, bisogna digitare un comando universale per quasi tutti i canali che è il seguente !list | 17:25 |
| Mkaysi | [OT] What is "RingedSeal" in Finnish? | 17:26 |
| bazhang | this whole convo is ot | 17:26 |
| StaffRingedSeal | Harmaahylje or in my particular case Saimaannorppa | 17:26 |
| StaffRingedSeal | anyway | 17:26 |
| Mkaysi | Ok :) | 17:26 |
| Fuchs | bazhang: sorry, I saw the discussion earlier on and thought I might ask | 17:26 |
| * AlanBell throws StaffRingedSeal a herring | 17:38 | |
| Tm_T | extremetuxracer? | 18:00 |
| Mkays| | I used to like it | 19:39 |
