[00:19] 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? [00:20] 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 [00:21] thanks [00:24] btw why is my server rajaniemi.freenode.net instead of irc.freenode.net? [00:26] 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] Is there a server backbone and it depends on where you are? [00:27] okay, thank you. [00:27] (which one it chooses is random) [00:32] 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. [00:36] 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. [00:38] are you still on them? [00:38] 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] 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] and I was being over-prescribed anyway. [00:38] psychiatrist is happy about that? [00:39] 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. [00:40] In large part because of this. In fact this is what stressed me to the point of self-harm. [00:42] That thing at the CVS happened while I was on a high dose of the meds. One mood stabilizer and one anti-psychotic. [00:43] But that's unrelated to Ubuntu isn't it, unless it can provide insight into what the hacker may be doing. [00:43] It's odd that somebody would try to let me know without actually coming up to me and telling me. [00:53] Maybe my dad is under investigation or something. [00:54] No, how would random people know? [00:55] and now it's on my isolated devices, and it seems like the hacker despises me, or used to. [01:02] I was apparently free of him when my laptop had a wired connection to the hotspot, but that hotspot became obselete. [01:02] It was the freedompop hub burst, now replaced with the netgear mingle, which lacks ethernet ports. [01:07] Does anybody know of any other low cost wired internet solutions? [01:07] In fact, freedompop is no longer 100% free, and I've been goin over lately. [01:09] 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. [01:10] The fact is my family thought I was autistic, and was shocked. [01:36] My room doesn't have a phone jack, so I've been using 3G/4G modems. [01:44] But that would only be for a dial-up connection, wouldn't it? They have connections that run over power lines now. [01:44] satellite is too expensive. [01:45] as is 3G/4G [01:46] HomePlug goes over powerlines [01:47] http://www.homeplug.org/ [01:54] I just can't find the cost of service. It seems like it would work! [01:56] Don't worry. I notified my father. [02:02] Apparently "fixed wireless" is a cost effective solution, but will it require a phone jack? [02:04] It uses an antenna! Does the antenna just hook up to the modem and it works? [02:07] 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. [02:08] But neither computer science nor physics, but biology, is what I know the most about. [02:15] 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] or 4G of course, if I can find another 4G modem with an ethernet port. [02:17] Yikes: your monologue is out of topic for this channel. Please go elsewhere for it. [02:17] I'm sorry. Thank you. [02:18] I usually cut out the monologue whenever other conversations are sparked.
