pleia2lol00:36
jedijfi guess we changed that 2 years ago.....i was thinking lamealex00:36
waltmanAww, I was relying on this channel to know when I could remove the flag from #plug :(00:52
jedijfwaltman: i have another for that purpose00:53
waltmanSo mlock's a more permanent /mode?00:55
waltmanjedijf: this was my other channel :)00:55
jedijfwaltman: yep, but when you see it removed here, it will mean no spam for a week - 20 minutes ago my watch cheannel was spammed00:56
waltmank00:56
pleia2waltman: yeah, mlock is set by services, so if the whole network gets disconnected, everyone leaves the channel (unlikely?) chanserv resets it00:58
waltmannod00:58
pleia2kinda a pain to use, but I am IRC guru so I know all the things00:59
waltmanis the command to turn it on +cnt+r?01:00
pleia2the letters are the current modes01:01
pleia2which on plug are +gnprt01:01
waltmanah01:01
pleia2so you'd want /msg chanserv set #plug mlock +gnprt01:01
pleia2to remove it: /msg chanserv set #plug mlock +gnpt-r01:01
pleia2(remove the +r that is)01:02
waltmanThanks!01:03
pleia2you're welcome :)01:03
ssweenyYeah just about every IRC channel I frequent has been hounded the last few days. Did I miss some big spammer event?01:53
waltmanThey started on the perl irc network and then found their way here.01:57
ssweenyfreenode is pretty much unusable01:57
waltmanthe mst they were mentioning is a notorious asshole in the perl community01:57
waltmanIt's fine on the channels with +r.02:00
waltmanmeanwhile on #perl on that network someone's asking about porting the python pandas module to perl. afaict I'm the only one who's ever used pandast and told him to just use python. Everyone else, with no idea of the scale of the project, is encouraging him.02:02
waltmanfeeling a bit frustrated02:02
waltmanTrying to do data science in perl instead of python in 2018 strikes me as madness02:03
* ssweeny never got his head around perl enough to use it in anger02:05
