jrgiffordBiosElement: how is openDNS destroying the internet?01:01
jrgiffordi've never had any issues with them01:01
Unit193...My shell account also listens on port 53. :D  (Don't have this session on there, mind you)01:02
jrgiffordlol01:03
jrgiffordOnly thing that openDNS blocks here is porn (little siblings running amuck with their laptops), and thats about it. don't worry about malware since we all use a *nix based system, and the ones (aka me) who goes into the wilder parts (such as IRC, forums etc) of the internet is on his own for making sure he does things right. :P01:05
jrgiffords/right/securely01:06
Unit193Yeah, but it's a problem for other reasons, doesn't send the right signal.01:07
jrgiffordwhat do you mean?01:08
BiosElementjrgifford: By blocking freenode claiming it's malware.01:08
Unit193I'd try to explain, but it's not coming out of the head.01:08
Unit193Not sending dnserr for example.01:09
jrgiffordBiosElement: weird. also, do keep in mind that you opt into this - its not the default you can't change.01:09
Unit193Easy enough to bypass.01:10
BiosElementjrgifford: It is at Panera's, short of a proxy. I'll be setting one up on my server for use with ubuntu meetings, but it's still utterly disgusting and they're lying through their teeth with that.01:10
jrgiffordBiosElement: just use network manager to swap to googles.01:10
Unit193DNS doesn't require a proxy, just need to set that in your config.01:10
jrgiffordeasy enough to try.01:10
BiosElementjrgifford: Which also doesn't work, I tried that trick. :P01:11
jrgiffordBiosElement: well then, don't go to panera. simple as that imo. :P01:11
BiosElementWhich means finding a new meeting location, which is such fun. End of the day, OpenDNS is misclassfying freenode on purpose and there's no excuse for it.01:12
jrgiffordBiosElement: i just asked them via twitter about it01:12
Unit193On purpose? Do you actually know?01:12
jrgiffordthey blocked github for a few hours a few months ago01:12
BiosElementjrgifford: Look forward to hearing a response, I was planning to email them as well01:12
jrgiffordsomeone flagged it for malware01:13
BiosElementUnit193: I find it impossible to believe it was a mistake, they're all techy people there and I find it impossible to believe none of them use freenode, it's just too improbable for me to imagine.01:13
jrgiffordBiosElement: you don't know, it could have been the autoblocking system or something similar.01:14
BiosElementjrgifford: Odd they'd specifically block a subdomain that links to the service, I'd be suprised if they can actually detect IRC traffic to find malware.01:14
jrgiffordBiosElement: blame panera01:15
jrgiffordhttp://domain.opendns.com/freenode.net01:15
jrgiffordits tagged as "chat" (officially)01:15
BiosElementNo, bullshit. There's a different message and that's the wrong domain01:15
jrgiffordand http://domain.opendns.com/webchat.freenode.net01:15
BiosElementOpenDNS SPECIFICALLY states they blocked it, I screenshotted it. :P01:15
jrgiffordis also tagged as "chat"01:16
jrgiffordyou can add a specific domain to the block list for your network. entirely possible panera did that on their own.01:17
BiosElementAnd then it shows a specific blocked message.01:17
BiosElementIn this case it's spcifically OpenDNS stating that, and if it's wrong to mail them, which I've already done.01:18
jrgiffordupload the screenshot, i refuse to believe it. Because i see nothing about the *freenode.net domain being blocked/categorized as "malware".01:18
Unit193It's user generated anyway, so whatever some random users think....01:19
BiosElementGood to know we trust each other around here jrgifford, one moment.01:20
Unit193Well, I trust that you saw what you said you did.01:20
jrgiffordI trust that you saw what you said, but I don't trust that you're blaming the right people. :)01:21
Unit193I only trust jrgifford as far as I can toss him, thankfully he lightweight.01:21
jrgiffordlol Unit193. you're actually pretty close, i'm only like 150. :P01:22
BiosElementlol jrgifford, I assure you this time I know I'm not crazy. :) http://i.imgur.com/m0ip6.png01:23
jrgiffordoh, that01:24
jrgiffordyeah, they blocked it because it also detects that you're using windows01:24
jrgifford(iirc, i ran into that all the time on my windows box.)01:24
BiosElementThen they should block facebook and gmail while they're at it by that logic. :|01:24
jrgiffordhey, just saying. i remember seeing that when i used windows ~2 months ago, but i'm normally on ubuntu (and as such don't see it) so thats why i refused to believe it. :P01:25
BiosElementYeah, I just got this laptop so I haven't moved it over yet01:28
Unit193Identi.ca is about dead or a spam heaven now, right?01:31
jrgiffordmore or less yeah, from what I can tell01:32
BiosElementI tossed identi.ca a few months ago01:36
BiosElementJust no point01:36
dzhoUnit193: jrgifford I've been the admin of a group on identi.ca for a while now.02:14
dzhowhen they went to 1.0, they didn't continue the xmpp service, so I really slowed down my identi.ca use.02:15
Unit193Do you disagree?02:15
dzhobut, through the command-line-interface group, I've been seeing lots of international subscribers, to my surprise.02:15
dzhoproportionally many fewer that are obvious spammers.02:15
Unit193Has anyone seen/contacted jgould for a while?02:39
Cheri703BiosElement: you could always just use quassel?03:49
Unit193Quassel connects to irc.freenode.net, and he can't hit that.03:50
Cheri703but he can connect to his server at home03:50
Unit193Unless you're talking about core.03:50
Cheri703yeah03:51
* Cheri703 was unclear03:51
gilbert_paultag: thx!15:43
=== gilbert_ is now known as gilbert
gilbertpaultag: took forever, oct to april, but glad its done :)15:44
gilbertpaultag: i thought you already had a few advocates?15:44
gilbertpaultag: too bad the process is just mostly waiting.  there was only about 3 weeks where i was actually doing work toward it15:45
gilbertBiosElement2: how did the ubuntu hour go last night?15:45
paultaggilbert: https://nm.debian.org/public/process/paultag@gmail.com ← I'm waiting on Mako, who's my primary sponsor15:45
paultaggilbert: in the mean-time, the others there have advocated me15:46
paultaghe's so bad at getting to this stuff15:46
paultagfriggn'.15:46
gilberthmm, you only need one advocate15:46
gilberthaving 4 already should be enough...15:47
paultaggilbert: yeah, I know. The problem is that he's a half-complete one15:47
paultaggilbert: because my guy was migrated from the old nm.d.o15:47
paultaganyway, shortly!15:47
paultag(e.g. within the year?)15:48
gilbertoh, weirld beaurocratic stuff15:48
paultagyeah15:48
gilbertyeah, hopefully yours is faster than 6 months...15:48
paultaggilbert: somehow, I doubt it :)15:48
gilbertprobably15:48
paultagit's already been a month15:48
gilbertyeah, i had my advocate after only a day15:48
paultagyeah :(15:49
paultagI'll bug him again, he had a big thing due monday15:49
gilbertalready uploaded my first dd package :o15:49
paultaggilbert: :D15:49
gilbertchromium :)15:49
paultagoh yeah, forgot you did maint on that too15:49
gilbertyep15:49
paultaggilbert: I got some ITPs sitting around because both upstreams are crazy out of policy15:50
paultagthose I might just close and not upload15:50
paultagbut other then that, nothing new :)15:50
paultaggilbert: mentoring the GSoC project to port clang to the buildds15:50
paultagthat should be fun15:50
gilbertcool!15:51
paultagit'd be good for some static-checks on which packages have gccisms15:51
paultagor use features of gcc that may change because they're not in spec15:51
paultag(and klee!)15:51
gilbertwho is going to be your am?15:52
paultaggilbert: it's not set yet, but lfaraone (from what I hear) was lobbying to get me15:53

paultaghe's an Ubuntu'er15:54
paultagBRB, food15:54

gilbertpaultag: btw, just curious what's been going on with debexpo.  i really haven't been following it16:18
paultagback :)16:19
paultagUnit193: yeah16:19
paultaggilbert: tons, it's going well16:19
paultaggilbert: I love arno (et al)16:20
gilbertpaultag: ok cool, they were trying to get me involved, but i just haven't had time16:22
paultagyar16:22
gilbertpaultag: i'm still going to try to take a look at the broken soap interface16:22
paultagyeah, totally16:23
gilbertbut yeah, not going to have much free time as i'm going to defend this summer16:24
gilbertso i gotta get my sh*t done16:24
paultagyeah, truth16:24
gilbertin the meantime, i'm going to start looking at packages worth sponsoring16:26
gilbertplus i'm spending some time on my biz too16:27
paultag:)16:27
paultaggilbert: there's a bunch with rfs's16:27
paultaggilbert: I built a sane front-end I might put into mentors if you want to browse16:27
paultaggilbert: http://mentors.pault.ag/16:27
gilbertwow, that's really cool16:28
paultagsome very basic sanity checking in there too16:28
paultagbut nothing really ground-breaking16:28
paultagjust easier to browse and not as laggy as the BTS16:28
gilbertdefinately16:29
gilbertthat actually seems surprisingly not that large16:29
paultagyeah, for sure16:29
paultaggilbert: eventually, I want to add hooks to push notifications16:29
paultaggilbert: e.g., poke me when email looks like .*@ubuntu\.com, or .*\.ru$16:29
paultaggilbert: or if the package is .*apache.*16:30
paultagso that folks can get pings when something interesting gets pushed to RFS16:30
paultag(eventually: if the section == "python", etc)16:31
paultagbut that's outside the scope of what I have here16:31
gilbertinteresting16:31
gilberti'm glad BiosElement is taking over the columbus team16:34
gilbertits been rather quiet since i've been gone16:34
paultagyeah16:34
gilbertupgrades take a loooong time :(16:37
paultagyeah :(16:37
gilbertso, how's the sunlight foundation stuff going?16:38
paultaggilbert: dude, it's kickass. I love my job. I'm on a meeting now, and someone strolled in from DC with a lucid T-shirt on, but everyone's ultra smart and we're all doing really great work16:39
paultaggilbert: I ♥ sunlight so much16:39
paultagmy boss is brilliant, which is cool16:39
gilbertpaultag: that's awesome :)16:39
paultagit's great16:40

gilbertnice16:40
paultaggilbert: it's some really cool stuff, you should check it out16:40
paultagit's unified bindings to all the data, and it's easy to use16:40
thafreakyou guys see this latest osx botnet?17:21
thafreakhttp://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader_osx_flashback_i.shtml17:21
canthus13thafreak: Yeah.. they got like every mac out there. :D17:35
thafreakshit...my in-laws have like 517:35
canthus13thafreak: ~600k known infections so far?17:36
thafreakanyway to prevent from being infected?17:36
canthus13install linux.17:36
canthus13</rimshot>17:36
thafreakother than that17:36
canthus13thafreak: Get a decent Mac AV program?17:36
canthus13(Is there one?)17:36
canthus13that and teacht hem that their holy Mac is not invulnerable.17:37
thafreakcrap...there's no way to like install an update to close the hole they're using?17:37
canthus13I dunno. There's not enough info on the vulnerabilty yet. (at least not as of 10am when I was reading about it...)17:44
canthus13It may only be non-updated machines... I dunno.17:44
* canthus13 would hope that apple is on the ball and working on a fix.17:44
canthus13could block the url it hits in the router... h t t p : / / 95.215.63.38/counter/%encoded_data%17:45
thafreaknice17:46
thafreakgood to know, thanks17:46
thafreakreally want to set up a mandatory proxy server for my in-laws17:47
canthus13Actually.. just block the entire IP.17:52
canthus13not likely to be anything good at that address for the moment.17:52
canthus13It won't stop them from getting the malware.. but it will stop it from downloading the payload.17:53
