KonHello. The user Metro42 (metro42@c-73-158-247-176.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) queried me multiple times last week, asking how to SSH in an email.01:12
KonI never spoke with them before, and have not spoken in #ubuntu for more than a year, though I do auto-join01:12
Kon[14:39] <Metro42> hey kon do you know any good webbased ssh clients?01:12
Kon[16:08] <Metro42> hey kon do you know how to ssh using a email?01:12
KonThese two were days apart. Very odd01:12
tomreynKon: please bring up network issues (anything outside of ubuntu namespace channels) in #libera-hotline. thank you.01:16
tomreynwe are unable to act on these01:17
KonFair enough. I thought to come here because #ubuntu was the only common channel when I /whois'd him01:18
KonThank you01:18
tomreynit can help to point this out to them01:18
sarnoldweird indeed01:18
sarnoldsome people are just crazy shy about talking in a channel but I just can't fathom the "i'll just message someone at random" approach01:19
KonYes, that and the subject matter could be potentially malicious. "I have this person's email address. How can I access their system?"01:20
tomreynKon: thanks for making us aware (but please consider to report it to #libera-hotline if you haven't). if that's all for now, please remember to leave so we can offer others joining some privacy here. thanks.01:33
KonOh, sorry. I will leave.01:46
KonI made the report in #libera-hotline. Thank you!01:47
sarnoldoh right, it's invisible in there. hah.01:47
