[01:25] <k1l_> second time now <Dreaman> k1l_ and is a jocke
[01:38] <elky> pretty sure they're saying that the sofware center thing is a joke, not you.
[02:30] <dax> alrighty, for posterity/logging:
[02:30] <dax> 02:14 < dax> Assuming no objections, I am going to ban *[m]!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*
[02:30] <dax> 02:14 < dax> Q: why? A: because over 300 clients quit/rejoin whenever the matrix IRC gateway goes down, and most of them have been abandoned for months (the matrix.org folks don't purge old connections at all)
[02:30] <dax> 02:14 < dax> Q: why [m]? A: it's the default suffix for matrix users, and any who really want to be in the channel still can change it (and are presumably not as likely to abandon their clients)
[02:30] <dax> 02:14 < dax> Q: how do they change it? A: click the @appservice-irc:matrix.org "user" on the user list, then click Start new chat, then it starts a new two "person" chat with you and the matrix bot that interfaces with the matrix-irc gateway, then you type !nick newnickhere
[02:30] <dax> 02:14 < dax> Q: why did you just call ops A: because i'm about to ban 300 people and would kind of like to be sure that's a good idea first :P
[02:30] <dax> 02:17 < dax> Q: why not banforward? A: the matrix client can't handle forwards. the IRC user will forward, but they won't get any messages or see themselves as in there
[02:30] <dax> this is now done, and I'll be linking to the log of this in BT for future reference
[02:31] <dax> @comment 75326 see https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/01/08/%23ubuntu-ops.html
[02:31] <dax> @duration 75326 365y
[02:42] <Flannel> You could've just not set a duration, you know.
[02:43] <dax> as I understand it, bans without durations get automatically whined about at least once
[02:43] <dax> also it's funnier this way
[08:35] <bazhang> we so need a 'irc ain't mickey d's drive-thru' factoid
[08:35] <bazhang> for the very impatient
