[00:11] <bazhang> lots of very similar matrix.org clients joining
[01:12] <valorie> I wonder who was spreading the word recently
[01:13] <valorie> shouldn't be many KDE folks since it's just in testing
[01:15] <bazhang> looks like their website has some kind of portal
[01:15] <bazhang> whatever the case they are constantly quit/joining
[01:15] <hggdh> indeed.Truckload of them
[01:16] <valorie> yes, they have a web client as well as standalone, mac and android
[02:04] <dax> huh, we disappeared out of the riot.im room list
[15:26] <k1l_> getting a lot of massjoins and quits from that riot/matrix service
[15:26] <ikonia> yeah, I'm wondering about that
[15:27] <ikonia> all mass exit at the same time
[15:27] <ikonia> is there an admin contact for that shell provider
[15:27] <ikonia> as thats one of the requirements for that shell provider to use ubuntu
[15:27] <Pici> I'd imagine that freenode staff have that info.
[15:28] <Pici> fwiw, kiwii has the same problems every once in a while
[15:28] <k1l_> riot.im   but i still dont get what riot is at all
[15:29] <ikonia> one of the standards we set was ubuntu team must be able to reach out to their admins
[15:43] <k1l_> now massjoin of matrix shell users again.
[15:44] <ikonia> what does the [r] mean I wonder after their names
[15:44] <k1l_> i guess its [m] for matrix.com
[15:44] <k1l_> *.org
[18:47] <k1l> !dd
 In ubottu, cscf said: !dd is a tool for copying binary data.  syntax: " dd if=/input/file of=/output/file " . triple check locations! It can be used to write ISOs to USB's.  On 16.04 and higher dd supports "status=progress" to show progress.
[18:47] <k1l> anything why we should not add that factoid? maybe add a hint to ddrescue?
[18:51] <k1l> to use dd to create a live usb pendrive is often suggested in the channel since it doesnt change with the bootloader of the iso, like unetbootin etc do.
[19:17] <dax> ikonia: elky and I both have contact info for them
[19:20] <dax> k1l: to oversimplify, matrix.org is a federated chat protocol like xmpp that can also bridge to other protocols (like xmpp can)
[19:20] <dax> k1l: and riot.im is a web client for it
[19:21] <elky> They're quite responsive about problems
[19:21] <dax> but feel rather beta-ish, so I'm unsurprised they're having connection issues
[19:21] <k1l> dax: does it stay at this mass joins/quits?
[19:21] <k1l> ah ok.
[19:21] <elky> I helped them identify a security problem and they had it fixed in hours
