[19:23] does anyone ever use this channel? [19:24] Well there's those of us that idle here, and randomly something does spark a little conversation. [19:27] what OS do you use for your daily use? [19:28] Xubuntu on any of my hardware. [19:29] Server is Ubuntu/14.04 and Debian, though. [19:29] Servers are, rather. [19:31] I'm trying out Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu, Mint and Tails atm... [19:32] Use to be an avid Ubuntu user back in the day. Dropped off around 2011 [19:32] getting back into it I suppose [19:34] Ah, nice. Interesting to have Tails among those. Used to do more with Lubuntu, though not much nowdays, Xfce fits me quite well I've found. Though in terms of using something without a DE, Openbox is nice. [19:37] Ha, tails is odd in that list. Interesting only because I believe in certain rights and freedoms [19:39] only problem is, I'm ignorant to how all that works. [19:41] I have tor installed and running as well, just not tails. [19:41] what about email, is that pushed through tor? [19:42] Not for me, nope. [19:43] I randomly use it, sometimes for IRC links, may have a hidden service too. [19:45] I've tried connected to Freenode via SASl+Tor etc.. unsuccessful on every attempt [19:45] That'd be because it's disabled for now, too many brute force attempts on user passwords. [19:46] Have you ever had any success getting a IP mask from a Freenode moderator? [19:47] Yep, I'm cloaked now. [19:47] I see that, how do you do that?? [19:48] I don't see any staff online right now, but usually you join #freenode and ask for a cloak. [19:48] Every time I ask it seems there are ~hundred different folks asking for a mask from the staff... [19:49] I guess they just get overwhelmed with it [19:50] There's also an ideal time to ask, and I would have said that'd be two hours ago or so. One may show up eventually though. [19:51] (If you wait up until tonight, you'll see the troll hour too. >_> ) [19:52] haha, thats always fun... The only problem I have with that is, I want my daughters to know about IRC [19:53] but you always have some douche bag out there that puts stuff out in the channel thats inappropriate [19:54] Well then, I'd say avoid #freenode from 1900-0400 (can't remember the exact time, so may as well overshoot.) There are plenty of nice and friendly channels, all depends on what you're looking for. [19:56] does cyberanger show up much, or is he as elusive as ever? [19:57] He generally likes the evenings/nights, but he can be found. [19:58] ha, only if he wants to be [20:04] good chatting with you Unit193 [20:05] Likewise! [21:31] aeden__d: unually I'm lurking and can show up when summoned [21:32] but I'd been nightshift for awhile, this room isn't much for that
