FlannelSo.... this whole Libera thing.  Did they register nicks from freenode? Or has someone already tried to take my nick over there?09:03
FlannelAnd who might I talk to to try and resolve that?  I realize it's first-come-first-serve, but this is kinda ridiculous09:15
Unit193Hi.09:16
FlannelHi09:17
Unit193Err, actually I'm sorry I shouldn't offer help right now, I should be trying to sleep.09:18
FlannelNo worries.  I just hope to figure this out before it gets worse09:18
Unit193Yah poking now, I can't finish this one though.  Reg your alt, then later set accountname?09:21
FlannelThe alt is also registered (and according to nickserv, linked?)09:23
FlannelLike I joined my alt and it said "this nick is owned by Flannel"09:23
FlannelWhich makes me wonder if it's someone trying to be malicious09:24
FlannelGot it sorted.  Thanks all!10:13
DJonesHmmh, My nicks are already registered on libera13:46
DJonesI suspect most nicks will be registered, so anybody with ops will need new nicks13:47
tewardhow fun i already registered my own nick there xD  nobody can steal that from me :P15:03
elDJones: check with libera staff, there was some automated registrations yesterday by bots that might nto be valid, from scraped freenode nicklists15:22
elsome people have already been able to get nicks back i heard15:23
DJonesel: Any idea who are server ops? I've joined #libera but not sure if thats the right channel to ask about nicks etc, I can see a user there with ops called edk and a hostname as staff, but just wondered if there was any single point of contact that should be used15:42
elit's the right channel15:43
DJonesCheers,I'll ask there15:44
DJonesel: Thanks for the suggestion, that worked & sorted17:11
FlannelDJones: Did you get an email to confirm your registration yet?  I'm still waiting20:04
hggdhFlannel: I was getting just failures to email; I kept trying and suddenly I was registered -- but still did not get any email20:05
Flannelhggdh: Ah, ok.  Yeah, I'm registered but not verified, as I haven't gotten any email.  I figured I'd give it 12 hours then poke someone to ask what I should do.  If it's "just wait", that's fine, as long as that's the recommended course.  Hah20:07
sarnoldif you're on gmail check your inbox20:09
sarnoldgmail recently rolled out some 'dynamic inbox' kind of nonsense that hides this kind of email20:09
FlannelNah, I wouldn't touch gmail with any real accounts.  I do have a gmail for junk, but I turn off all of that "we're smarter than you" crap as soon as they introduce it.20:10
FlannelAs far as I know, there's no spam filtering on this account either. But I'm not 100% sure what goes on at the ISP level.20:11
hggdhFlannel: I do not really know what happened. But you can try /msg nickserv info <account>20:12
Flannelhggdh: To do what?20:15
hggdhFlannel: verify if the registration "took"20:27
Flannelhggdh: Oh, I am registered. Just "Flannel has NOT COMPLETED registration verification."20:28
Flannelwhich is the email side of things20:28
lhavelundFlannel: Another person I've been speaking to is stuck in the same limbo.20:28
FlannelYeah.  I've heard that.  That's why I'm not stressing out too much... yet.20:29
lhavelundI'm sure it'll all be fine.20:30
ubottuleftyfb called the ops in #ubuntu (feel free to escort ComCat out at your leisure)22:41
