[00:05] <tomreyn> i promise, i didn't drink and ops
[00:05] <tomreyn> it's just late ;-)
[00:05] <krytarik> Haha.. XD
[00:05] <krytarik> What client you using again?
[00:06] <tomreyn> hexchat
[00:06] <tomreyn> i know there are scripts but i'm not a real fan of those
[00:06] <krytarik> Ah ok, then not. >_<
[00:06] <tomreyn> thanks, though
[00:07] <sarnold> heh I've been meaning to read through unit193's script for ages to figure out how it works, but whenever a miscreant shows up doesn't feel like the time to do it, and when there's no one around to make trouble, there's no need :)
[00:07] <krytarik> They do make things like account and IP bans easier though..
[00:24] <leftyfb> tomreyn: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/NTsw7TvHBk/ there ya go
[00:25] <leftyfb> tomreyn: I'm just giving you a heads. They haven't done anything to warrant a boot yet, but that's their game. They teeter on the edge
[00:26] <tomreyn> thanks leftyfb, can i quote what you wrote in -discuss here?
[00:26] <leftyfb> sure
 tomreyn: ptah is a troll ... that was probably their alt that you banned
 I've got some stuff from 2016 along the same lines ... they're part of the "efnet news" troll group. They've been trolling channels on Efnet for years
 coming up with arcane questions is part of their game ... they half make it seem like they're legitimate questions
 this particular one was pinging me earlier asking me if I was the same one who wouldn't play their game on EFnet earlier today.
 and CTCP'ing random people
[00:28] <tomreyn> i just looked through my channel logs and i can see that others have previously reported that this nickname on this same address was ctcp spamming
[00:29] <tomreyn> right now it's calm, but this is good to know.
[00:29] <HackerII> https://www.bitchute.com/search/?query=ted%20gunderson&kind=video
[00:30] <tomreyn> krytarik: i may have hit some wasp nest there
[00:30] <leftyfb> tomreyn: some more logs from efnet ... they are very passive in thieir trolling: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/ZpMBtYG484/
[00:30] <krytarik> tomreyn: Nah, we'll be fine! XD
[00:32] <krytarik> tomreyn: It's more like the wasp net hit you.. >_<
[00:32] <tomreyn> yes, i guess
[00:32] <tomreyn> and i forgot this channel is logged.
[00:45] <sarnold> I've invited sigyn to a handful of channels, but I don't have ops everywhere
[01:00] <Unit193> Do not allow it in -meeting.
[01:07] <sarnold> no?
[01:08] <sarnold> (it's acedemic, I tried, I don't have ops there :)
[01:09] <Unit193> I mean, it'd be pretty funny next desktop meeting when half the people are klined, but maybe not ideal. :>
[01:11] <sarnold> is it *that* aggressive?
[01:13] <teward> yes it can be
[01:13] <teward> there was one time it klined *me* by accident, and caught me in the crossfire while hitting others.  It did not go well for Freenode that day when they had to deal with an angry teward :P
[01:14] <teward> sarnold: ^
[01:14] <teward> as for not having ops in -meeting that's cause you have no cloak that lets you have +o.  TECHNICALLY even my ubuntu member cloak lets me +o if I have to in -meeting to fix things or help chair a meeting when people get stuck. :P
[01:18] <sarnold> man if we could harness the energy of an angry teward we could turn off the last of our coal-fired power plants :)
[01:18] <teward> well if you want to mess around with antimatter-levels of insane energy, then go ahead, but :P
[01:18] <teward> sigyn can be evil when it's cracking down on people
[01:19] <teward> and it's *very* sensitive about flooding and rapid message repetition
[01:20] <tomreyn> it does warn users before it klines them, i think. i got warned a couple times but that was probably an earlier version.
[01:25] <Unit193> sarnold: No, they spam lines and lines of text there.  They do things weird.
[01:25] <sarnold> 'tis a silly place, lets not go there
[01:26] <Unit193> tomreyn: No, it warns.  teward just likes to ignore warnings. :>
[01:26] <teward> lol i just never am on IRC anymore xD
[01:26] <teward> unless I have to be :)
[01:27] <tomreyn> hehe, poor guy
[01:31] <teward> is someone from the IRCC here and can they do me a favor and initiate bannination of *!*Radio*@45.86.203.* in #lubuntu-offtopic as I just did in #lubuntu?  It's that spammer guy with those links...
[01:31] <teward> I'd do it but apparently I forgot to ask +o in the lubuntu channels the last time I went through :)
[01:31] <teward> unless I can dredge up one of the other ops
[01:42] <krytarik> Somehow I think that's what the namespace ban list was intended for.. :3
[01:44] <krytarik> Cause that's just the HackerII pal going around and causing trouble everywhere they can think of and get in..
[01:45] <teward> perhaps.  i don't have access to add a namespace ban though.  has one been implemented yet?
[01:47] <sarnold> heh yeah I was thinking it'd be keen if we could just pop a mask into a bot and have it apply the ban for us in the dozens of channels we've got
[01:47] <teward> that'd be the namespace bans i think
[01:48] <tomreyn> https://freenode.net/kb/answer/extbans
[01:48] <tomreyn> ah i got you wrong
[01:49] <sarnold> oh the $j thing could do the trick
[01:49] <teward> i think that's what krytarik meant
[01:49] <teward> there ARE $j bans in places, but I don't know who can put into those lists.
[01:51] <krytarik> We've got '$j:#ubuntu-namespace-bans' on the ban list of all channels that are under the supervision of the Ubuntu IRC team, and as it turns out since 2016.
[01:52] <sarnold> Sat 06 01:51:03 [freenode] -!- Cannot join to channel #ubuntu-namespace-bans (You must be invited)
[01:52] <sarnold> hehe
[01:52] <tomreyn> probably need to /msg chanserv invite #ubuntu-namespace-bans
[01:53] <tomreyn> unless  -ChanServ- You are not authorized to perform this operation.
[01:53] <krytarik> That's being handled solely by the IRCC though.
[01:56] <krytarik> And the idea of temporarily adding bans to it has been brought up previously, but never really hammered out yet.  So it continued to be rather static and useless.
[02:33] <Unit193> Well not useless, just not designed for this usecase.
[02:34] <Unit193> I'm here now but I suspect it no longer matters.
[02:37] <sarnold> I suspect we're not done with him yet
[02:37] <krytarik> I did say "rather useless"! :P
[02:38] <krytarik> And yeah, I guess we'll see about their persistency..
