hey, I have a question re #bulletphysics which seems to have been abandoned by it's original founder. it's a channel about a software lib and the channel topic mentions an ancient version. is there any way to transfer control to someone of the active users?
JayFoxRox 2017-01-30 07:46:24
according to chanserv "freenode-staff" is the founder, it was founded in 2007 and last used in nov 2013

JayFoxRox, do you represent the bullet project in some capacity?
Kartoffel 2017-01-30 07:54:57
Any group management staff here?
Kartoffel 2017-01-30 07:54:57
Juerd put in a request to get #sha2017-badge registered, any news on that?
JayFoxRox 2017-01-30 07:56:40
kline: nope, I only occasionally visit the channel if I need help with the lib - but the title always bugs me and it's also very apparent that the channel has been abandoned (possibly scaring users away). I'll probably create an issue at github about this.
JayFoxRox 2017-01-30 07:56:40
the channel used to be OP'd by erwin couman who also maintains the lib, however, feels like he abandoned IRC in favour of other protocols. I think it's very reasonable to hand control over to some of the recent idlers (not me, but StephenLynx volunteered and others might do too). For now I just want to know if this is possible and how to approach this situation.

JayFoxRox, single-# channels are reserved for official project representation, if it ended up needing people to manage it outside of that we'd move you into ##bulletphysics
kline 2017-01-30 08:00:07
but if the project maintainer wants to come back, we can help getting #bulletphysics back up to scratch
JayFoxRox 2017-01-30 08:01:57
kline: okies, I'll open an issue at github and discuss adding more OPs to represent the project (as the founder doesn't seem to use IRC)
JayFoxRox 2017-01-30 08:02:20
thanks :)

Kartoffel, ill chase it up. i think something we were wondering about was whether -badge needed its own group, or if there should be a general sha group that covers it all

thing is since last few builds when i open a new tab i see like some kinda dialoghe window appear then quickly dissapear, with no time to determine what it was, it shows in left upper side

Kartoffel, im not on the groups team, but i suspect they dont want to end up registering and helping 27 groups every year just for sha, so having some sort of hierarchy is probably useful. in any case, ill bug them to look at it

gentoo says this has bogus certificates

there's a user in a channel I'm an op for who's having some connection issues, so keep quitting/joining... is there something less harsh than a ban that I can do so their joining/quitting doesn't cause so much noise?
Gorch50 2017-01-30 08:13:21
kline thanks

kline 2017-01-30 08:14:04
ladyfriday, banforward to ##fix_your_connection, then unset it in 12h or something, or when they come back to you
kline 2017-01-30 08:14:26
sud0, i have gentoo installed elsewhere, thanks, but i dont think we need it for freenodes servers

nice
kline 2017-01-30 08:15:01

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but there was a fedora ama some days ago, and I was told there would be a blog post on freenode.net, with all the questions and answers later. I've been checking the blog, and no such post has been done yet. Are there still plans to make one?
kline 2017-01-30 08:18:11
eor, im sure there will be one, yes
eor 2017-01-30 08:18:42
kline, thanks.
Evidlo 2017-01-30 08:33:27
Is there any documentation on how to ban someone? All I can find is information about modes, not how to actually apply them
genec 2017-01-30 08:34:00
Evidlo: /mode ##mychannelname +b $expression
desgen 2017-01-30 08:34:15
Sexpression
Evidlo 2017-01-30 08:34:38
and can $expression just be their nick?
genec 2017-01-30 08:34:39
Evidlo: are you looking to ban a nick name, a source IP, a NickServ account?
Evidlo 2017-01-30 08:34:45
just a nick ban
genec 2017-01-30 08:34:47
Evidlo: $a:accountName
genec 2017-01-30 08:35:06
if it's a NickServ account. the nickname need not be their account name
Evidlo 2017-01-30 08:36:24
so `/mode #chan +b $a:foobar_nick` ?
genec 2017-01-30 08:36:40
Evidlo: no, not nick, NickServ account name.
Evidlo 2017-01-30 08:36:56
I don't understand the distinction
MetaNova 2017-01-30 08:37:19
Evidlo: when you register with nickserv, the nick you were using at the time becomes your account name
Joseph 2017-01-30 08:37:23
Evidlo: your accountname is usually the nickname you used to register on freenode, your nickname is what your current nickname is
MetaNova 2017-01-30 08:37:43
you can /nick to something else later, and still identify to that account, by name, even though you're not presently /nick'd to it
Joseph 2017-01-30 08:37:46
Evidlo: for example, my accountname is Penskins, but my (grouped) nickname is Joseph
genec 2017-01-30 08:37:53
Evidlo: if you "/whois nick", and the person is identified, it'll show their account name. if you'd like, I can show you how.
Evidlo 2017-01-30 08:38:13
so for most people, its probably just their nick
Evidlo 2017-01-30 08:38:31
does it have to include the `~` and the cloak/hostname?
genec 2017-01-30 08:38:52
no, that's part of their displayed name
Joseph 2017-01-30 08:39:03
Evidlo: no. just the actual accountname itself. if you wanted to ban me, for example, you'd do "/mode #channel +b $a:Penskins"
Evidlo 2017-01-30 08:39:38
cool
