Kilossince i changed prots ive been stable there08:16
Kilosports08:20
inetproKilos: you are just lucky08:32
inetproit's not the ports that were down, it's the dns that is under attack08:32
inetprosome of their servers resolve to localhost at the moment08:32
Kiloswell i couldnt connect via 8001 so switched to 6667 to get here. anything that works is good for me08:32
Golynxya 6667 is good08:33

Kilosshame they struggled today19:08
inetproah, and I see the first global notice of the day as well19:08
charlquestion - right now i am using terminator but am not really happy with it - can anyone give me a suggestion for a better terminal emulator?19:08

=== Guest42553 is now known as Tonberry_
magespawnanyone what has been happening today with the net?19:13
inetprocharl: and what OS?19:13
inetpromagespawn: broken19:13
charlinetpro: gnu/linux and it's just because i want something as simple and fast as possible19:13
charlinetpro: terminator has too many default key bindings that get in the way and doesn't seem to be too stable19:14
charlinetpro: konsole actually works really well but it's too bloated (with the kde integration)19:14
charlinetpro: so yeah, something simple, stable and minimalist19:14
inetprohmm...19:14
magespawnIndeed, very broken, i was hoping for a little more info though19:14
charldoes not need to have tabs or anything, preferably not in fact19:14
* inetpro is very happy with konsole19:14

inetprotoo much activity to update the status notifications19:21
charli see it is based on tmux, that's good, i will try it19:23
inetprocharl: or gnu screen, you choose the bindings19:23
magespawninetpro have you tried in on centos?19:23
inetpromagespawn: yep19:23
