| Yikes | I want to attach my IRC username on my ubuntuforums account since I never check the associated email anyway. Do I have to specify the server as well? | 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| dax | freenode's the largest IRC network and where all Ubuntu stuff is normally, but if you'd like you could mention chat.freenode.net i guess | 00:20 |
| Yikes | thanks | 00:21 |
| Yikes | btw why is my server rajaniemi.freenode.net instead of irc.freenode.net? | 00:24 |
| dax | irc.freenode.net is a pointer to chat.freenode.net, which is a "round robin" pool of different servers. from that pool, your computer picks one to connect to. in this case, you got the untypable finnish one | 00:26 |
| Yikes | Is there a server backbone and it depends on where you are? | 00:26 |
| Yikes | okay, thank you. | 00:27 |
| dax | (which one it chooses is random) | 00:27 |
| Yikes | I filed an IC3 report just because it has been happening for over a year now. It would be nice if I actually had an IP address or something, but they can be spoofed anyway. | 00:32 |
| Yikes | The things that have been happening are just too weird, and they only got weirder after I was diagnosed and put on anti-psychotics which I reluctantly took at near full dose. | 00:36 |
| dax | are you still on them? | 00:38 |
| Yikes | So the altered Web content has gotten even more blatant such that now I know it's human intent. Prior to this, I was in the nearby CVS at night, the only one there, looking for a wire to unlock my car with, and somebody played a series of short music clips that seemed to pertain to some thoughts that I spoke out loud recently while at home. | 00:38 |
| Yikes | No, I have lots of extra because I was taking just below normal dose for over 6 months, but I'm not on them currently. | 00:38 |
| Yikes | and I was being over-prescribed anyway. | 00:38 |
| dax | psychiatrist is happy about that? | 00:38 |
| Yikes | I stopped seeing him after the deductible was renewed. I'll see how the payments are going through soon enough. I was diagnosed after all of this began, in part because of this. | 00:39 |
| Yikes | In large part because of this. In fact this is what stressed me to the point of self-harm. | 00:40 |
| Yikes | That thing at the CVS happened while I was on a high dose of the meds. One mood stabilizer and one anti-psychotic. | 00:42 |
| Yikes | But that's unrelated to Ubuntu isn't it, unless it can provide insight into what the hacker may be doing. | 00:43 |
| Yikes | It's odd that somebody would try to let me know without actually coming up to me and telling me. | 00:43 |
| Yikes | Maybe my dad is under investigation or something. | 00:53 |
| Yikes | No, how would random people know? | 00:54 |
| Yikes | and now it's on my isolated devices, and it seems like the hacker despises me, or used to. | 00:55 |
| Yikes | I was apparently free of him when my laptop had a wired connection to the hotspot, but that hotspot became obselete. | 01:02 |
| Yikes | It was the freedompop hub burst, now replaced with the netgear mingle, which lacks ethernet ports. | 01:02 |
| Yikes | Does anybody know of any other low cost wired internet solutions? | 01:07 |
| Yikes | In fact, freedompop is no longer 100% free, and I've been goin over lately. | 01:07 |
| Yikes | Please help me despite my diagnosis! It's a shame that I got diagnosed largely because of this and now people assume I need medication rather than technical support. | 01:09 |
| Yikes | The fact is my family thought I was autistic, and was shocked. | 01:10 |
| Yikes | My room doesn't have a phone jack, so I've been using 3G/4G modems. | 01:36 |
| Yikes | But that would only be for a dial-up connection, wouldn't it? They have connections that run over power lines now. | 01:44 |
| Yikes | satellite is too expensive. | 01:44 |
| Yikes | as is 3G/4G | 01:45 |
| Yikes | HomePlug goes over powerlines | 01:46 |
| Yikes | http://www.homeplug.org/ | 01:47 |
| Yikes | I just can't find the cost of service. It seems like it would work! | 01:54 |
| Yikes | Don't worry. I notified my father. | 01:56 |
| Yikes | Apparently "fixed wireless" is a cost effective solution, but will it require a phone jack? | 02:02 |
| Yikes | It uses an antenna! Does the antenna just hook up to the modem and it works? | 02:04 |
| Yikes | I just love all the different types of ways to connect to the Internet! I considered stealing public hotspots with a powerful antenna, but realized it would probably be illegal as a long-term solution. | 02:07 |
| Yikes | But neither computer science nor physics, but biology, is what I know the most about. | 02:08 |
| Yikes | fiber-optic internet service sounds like it will probably be expensive if it's available at all. I don't know whether HomePlug or fiber-optic will be available for my home, so I might have to resort to fixed wireless. | 02:15 |
| Yikes | or 4G of course, if I can find another 4G modem with an ethernet port. | 02:15 |
| hggdh | Yikes: your monologue is out of topic for this channel. Please go elsewhere for it. | 02:17 |
| Yikes | I'm sorry. Thank you. | 02:17 |
| Yikes | I usually cut out the monologue whenever other conversations are sparked. | 02:18 |
| Yikes | btw I'm haplorrhie on UF | 02:19 |
