| DJones | Morning | 08:23 |
|---|---|---|
| DJones | I wonder whether horrorxstory in #u is HFSplus/FearTheLOrd etc both comcast hosts | 15:37 |
| bazhang | both are trolls wfm | 15:37 |
| Myrtti | I thought FTL came from ma, not mi | 15:37 |
| Myrtti | yeah | 15:37 |
| Myrtti | difference there | 15:37 |
| DJones | Yeah, you're right with that | 15:38 |
| DJones | Ah well | 15:38 |
| Myrtti | I have to say I'm truly ashamed of my good memory in these things | 15:38 |
| Myrtti | so much wasted brain power | 15:38 |
| DJones | Myrtti: Something I was wondering before was a ban on the .myvzw.com address, could you have a look at the following to see if its possible | 15:39 |
| DJones | Would it be possible to set a ban on *!*@*.sub-174*.myvzw.com I wasn't sure if you can set a ban with widlcard within it | 15:39 |
| DJones | Would it be possible to set a ban on *!*@*.sub-174*.myvzw.com I wasn't sure if you can set a ban with widlcard within it and the sub-174 and myvzw.com appear to be the only consistent parts of the hostname and there doesn't appear to be any other users coming from the sub-174 range of addresses | 15:40 |
| DJones | This is the one that keeps picking users in #u and then pm'ing obscene/racist/offensive comments | 15:40 |
| Myrtti | AFAIK you can | 15:41 |
| Myrtti | I might be wrong though | 15:41 |
| DJones | Anybody you'd recommend querying that with | 15:42 |
| DJones | erry looks to be online | 15:43 |
| Myrtti | well I'm sure someone will smite me for giving you wrong information if I'm wrong | 15:43 |
| DJones | Heh | 15:43 |
| Myrtti | is it really that urgent? you could just set a +q for that hostmask and see if it takes hold | 15:44 |
| DJones | Thats true, i'll give that a go | 15:44 |
| Myrtti | besides it's a wide ban anyway so I'd recommend a mute in any case | 15:44 |
| DJones | Thanks for the advice | 15:44 |
| Myrtti | or a banforward to this/some other channel | 15:44 |
| bazhang | yeah he wants to poll | 15:45 |
| DJones | ok, set +q on that address to see if it works | 15:46 |
| bazhang | a webui to use something remotely? thought that meant ssh | 15:51 |
| bazhang | whoa annoying | 17:33 |
| bazhang | he's playing eleventh dimension chess! | 17:35 |
| * Pici snerks | 17:36 | |
| bazhang | I pretty much lost interest after that wall 'o text | 17:40 |
| bazhang | wubi and mixing in debian repos! what could go wrong | 17:49 |
| IdleOne | iirc the idea of creating a more "leet" channel has been discussed and denied, there are -dev channels for those users who wish to dig deeper and get help with doing development. IMO creating such a channel would be splitting the community and helpers. | 18:23 |
| bazhang | <n0yd> Actually, thats a great name, #ubuntu-advanced. | 18:24 |
| bazhang | bwhahahahahaNOWAY | 18:24 |
| bazhang | he insulted every single helper, and now wants his own advanced channel | 18:24 |
| IdleOne | Topic for #ubuntu-advanced: All noobs go to #ubuntu. | 18:25 |
| IdleOne | </sarcasm> | 18:25 |
| IdleOne | Anyway, it is a bad idea and will only create a divide in the IRC community which is exactly what we don't want. | 18:25 |
| bazhang | bug: confirmed; released ∞ +1 | 18:26 |
| DJones | IdleOne: +1 Although I don't think the regular helpers would abandon #u, however I don't think a 'new user' would understand the difference between basic and advanced questions, from their point of view, everything could well be advanced & they'd just ask in the advanced channel | 18:26 |
| bazhang | he was so elite that he was doing the glib versions from memory, and badly misremembering them | 18:27 |
| IdleOne | DJones: exactly, ops would waste time explaining, yeah you're problem is a valid one but not important enough for us to bother with. Plz2go to the not-so-leet channel. | 18:27 |
| bazhang | more like needs a #ubuntu-alzheimers | 18:27 |
| DJones | I guess 'technically' #ubuntu is the advanced channel given that there is #ubuntu-beginners | 18:28 |
| jbroome | yikes | 18:28 |
| bazhang | eliminate the !crosspost factoid forthwith | 18:28 |
| Pici | Just because we might disagree with it doesn't make it a bad idea that we should strike out immediately. | 18:28 |
| IdleOne | -beginners is a team channel and not specifically for support. They do some support but that isn't the purpose. | 18:29 |
| bazhang | it's a bad idea | 18:29 |
| IdleOne | Pici: It might be worth revisiting. I suspect it will not pass anymore then it did the last time this was brought up. | 18:29 |
| bazhang | it's been proposed since forever | 18:30 |
| IdleOne | Just wanted to make sure I voiced my opinion on it. | 18:31 |
| DJones | The idea does have merit, for example the question about ZFS that ThePendulum was asking about yesterday - that probably took a couple of hours for somebody to go through, so a less busy channel for a complex issue would probably be more useful | 18:31 |
| bazhang | n0yd had an issue that was not *that* complex, but simply refused to answer any questions of the five or so first helpers | 18:31 |
| IdleOne | I'm not a noob. We are not mind readers. | 18:32 |
| bazhang | I got a "seriously dood? I'ma need it, thats all" | 18:33 |
| DJones | 19:32 < n0yd> ok, I made # for advanced and novice, and am registewring them now | 18:33 |
| bazhang | so he's the Founder | 18:33 |
| IdleOne | that isn't an problem | 18:33 |
| IdleOne | IRCC can ask staff to take it if/when needed | 18:33 |
| bazhang | in Official Ubuntu namespace | 18:33 |
| IdleOne | s/an/a/ | 18:35 |
| DJones | #ubuntu-advanced already exists with freenode-staff +AFORfiorstv as the only entry on the access list | 18:37 |
| bazhang | it's advanced-users | 18:38 |
| DJones | Ah, not what I expected | 18:38 |
| bazhang | that should not be # | 18:39 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-novice-users as well | 18:40 |
| IdleOne | #ubuntu-cafeteria-coolkids-table | 18:41 |
| bazhang | Pici will allow them to exist until the next IRCC meeting, I imagine | 18:41 |
| bazhang | I wonder if they will be allowed to advertise in #ubuntu | 18:42 |
| IdleOne | the channels being created is not an issue like I said. The issue now is making sure he doesn't advertise those channels. | 18:42 |
| bazhang | perhaps we could have the floodbots redirect them once they answered a question in -unregged | 18:43 |
| IdleOne | I would like to know who decides if a questions is advanced enough or not. | 18:43 |
| bazhang | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5711133/ | 18:56 |
| IdleOne | looks real official like | 18:58 |
| IdleOne | just needs a neon sign out front. | 18:58 |
| bazhang | heh | 18:58 |
| bazhang | to get Chanserv they have to clear the channel iirc | 18:58 |
| IdleOne | /msg chanserb help set guard | 18:59 |
| IdleOne | -b+v | 18:59 |
| bazhang | he explained that once the IRCC decides, it will stay or forward to the ## | 19:00 |
| bazhang | "best to be prepared" was the quote | 19:00 |
| IdleOne | isn't that the boy scout moto? | 19:00 |
| bazhang | minus the best to, yeah | 19:01 |
| IdleOne | Well, I think I've made enough passive agressive comments on this topic. Moving on. | 19:02 |
| bazhang | haha | 19:02 |
| bazhang | Pici, who should they contact about getting ubottu ; n0yd wants to know | 19:42 |
