rohara 2017-02-23 04:49:34
is the nickname registration email verification a bit slow? not seeing anything in my inbox or spam folder
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:50:20
rohara: we've had a couple of complaints of mails not turning up today, so there may be an issue
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:50:42
Is it the nick you're on now that you were registering?
rohara 2017-02-23 04:50:47
bigpresh: yes
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:51:47
rohara: Please check your email again shortly
rohara 2017-02-23 04:52:03
bigpresh: thanks
sebersole 2017-02-23 04:53:50
how long should I expect to wait for SENDPASS email?
dw1 2017-02-23 04:54:14
bn_: mitm
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:55:11
sebersole: Hmm - another case of emails not turning up? How long have you waited?
rob0 2017-02-23 04:55:49
if I request sendpass, I don't have to use it, do I?
rob0 2017-02-23 04:56:04
-- just curious to see if there is a problem with the mails
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:57:21
rob0: No, you don't have to use it (but it will mean you won't be able to get another one in future without poking a staffer first)
rob0 2017-02-23 04:58:02
ah
duckgoose 2017-02-23 05:03:59
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:04:23
sebersole: No email yet, no?
rob0 2017-02-23 05:05:57
Well, you [163.172.127.19] are not in major DNSBLs, but you definitely need to fix your PTR. Also after having good FCrDNS, you should sign up for dnswl.org.
rob0 2017-02-23 05:06:57
then eventually I think we'd be hearing fewer of these "mail lost or spamfoldered" complaints
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:06:57
rob0: indeed, ta. it's in-hand
rob0 2017-02-23 05:07:14

bn_ 2017-02-23 05:09:02
any recommended modes to set on a channel once registered to prevent takeovers?
niko 2017-02-23 05:09:27
if registered, how you can takeover it ?
bn_ 2017-02-23 05:10:13
no, I want to prevent it
gio256 2017-02-23 05:10:28
Hi guys
e 2017-02-23 05:10:29
what attack are you hoping to prevent?
gio256 2017-02-23 05:10:38
I need your help..
e 2017-02-23 05:10:41
there shouldn't be any "takeover" chanserv ownership cannot recover from
sebersole 2017-02-23 05:10:51
bigpresh: no :(
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:10:53
gio256 2017-02-23 05:11:08
I have a ZE551ML and the SIM is not working
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:11:18
How do I change the text that comes after my username. I see that some people clearly have customized information there.
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:11:19
bn_ At the very least - be very careful who you gives channel ops to
bn_ 2017-02-23 05:11:48
ok... any recommended modes then? anti-spamming, caps, colors, etc?
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:11:50
I'm talking about like 3e62f6c9@gateway/web/freenode/ip.62.98.246.201 this portion
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:12:09
You can get a cloak, by asking staff here, Bschool
niko 2017-02-23 05:12:21
cloak won't work if you use webchat
rob0 2017-02-23 05:12:28
but the example is a webchat ^^
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:12:31
I would like a cloak, i'm not using webchat
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:12:42
and a sword and a staff if you got it
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:12:44
BN_ I do not know. There is a secureops thing I think/.
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:12:45
but a cloak first :)
niko 2017-02-23 05:12:47
Bschool: you are now cloaked
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:12:56
that's it? there's no ceremony?
rob0 2017-02-23 05:13:06
Bschool, probably a good idea to stop using the root user for things like IRC
gio256 2017-02-23 05:13:23
Guys do you know why on my ZE551ML the sim card is not working?
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:13:30
bn_ You can see if there is anything you like on /msg chanserv help set
rob0 2017-02-23 05:13:34
some channels actually ban "root" users
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:14:03
gio256 No idea sorry.
gio256 2017-02-23 05:14:16
Thanks anyway..
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:14:19
rob0: ya you're like the billionth person to tell me that. This is a rdp connection to a debian machine that I then use to ssh into a wireless pi, which runs weechat.
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:14:31
the pi only has 1 account.
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:14:38
it only runs weechat.
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:14:47
bn_: as long as you don't give out +F (the chanserv flag, not a channel mode) to people you don't trust, channel takeovers are impossible
rob0 2017-02-23 05:14:55
it could have another :)
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:15:05
someone might disrupt it temporarily, but they can't ever wrest control from the founder
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:15:16
hahaha, what do i gain by doing that? enlighten me as i am woefully ignorant
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:15:21
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:15:22
someone with actual access (such as the founder) can always just clean it up afterwards
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:15:46
I guess i gain the ability to talk in #debian
rob0 2017-02-23 05:15:58
that's one thing, yes
gio256 2017-02-23 05:16:18
BurningPrincess I'm using Lineage OS 7.1.1 with the latest update. I installed it right now
gio256 2017-02-23 05:16:28
but the SIM is not working
Bschool 2017-02-23 05:16:29
niko: does the cloak stay active for all times I auth with this username from a non-web irc client? or is it ip specific?
bn_ 2017-02-23 05:16:53
Skizzerz: what does +F do? allow any other account to do "ChanServ"-specific things- whatever that is?
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:16:59
rob0 2017-02-23 05:17:02
most of the benefits are theoretical, such as ... you avoid getting rooted if some kid finds a vulnerability in your IRC client
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:17:08
it gives channel founder access to someone, so they have full access to chanserv commands
niko 2017-02-23 05:17:11
Bschool: the former
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:17:18
such as the ability to remove founder access from you
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:17:52
in terms of channel modes, don't give out +o like candy and you'll be fine
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:18:01
+n is probably helpful too unless you know you need -n for things
rob0 2017-02-23 05:18:08
but you also start to learn more about privilege separation if you run a non-root account and encounter "permission denied" errors
niko 2017-02-23 05:18:14
bn_: /msg chanserv help flags
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:18:22
gio256 there is a #LineageOS channel. I have no idea if they could help though
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:18:44
You could try asking in there, gio256
Sheggy 2017-02-23 05:20:34
hey i saw that you added Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (Wi-Fi) - chagallwifi awesome :) but cant find the download file for it
bn_ 2017-02-23 05:20:52
Skizzerz: thanks. yeah, the "be careful with the +o" part I figured, just wasn't sure if there were any other modes that weren't set by default that I should enable
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:21:30
bn_: see '/quote help cmode' for a list of channel modes, see if there are any that suit your fancy
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:21:58
is there a chanel for software chat?
niko 2017-02-23 05:21:59
bn_: you can also take a look at /msg chanserv help set
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:22:09
which software does hollywood use on linux ?
bn_ 2017-02-23 05:22:10
niko: yeah, reviewing those now
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:22:23
I know there are dozens, so I need a channel to talk of them
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:22:39
like maya, avid, etc, and which are not available for linux,etc
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:23:01
Sheggy: I think you might be looking for a different channel?
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:23:03
bn_: if your channel is empty frequently, you'll want to turn on GUARD and/or MLOCK
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:23:07
is there a channel , why not ? I did /query alis list *software* , and guess what I got nothing
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:23:10
or else emptying the channel will cause your modes to be lost
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:23:25
bigpresh: or some one do you know any software channels?
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:23:32
kierqueen: "software" is a very general thing; you might want to look for a topic of a type of software
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:23:44
"graphics", "3d", "rendering", something like that, maybe?
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:23:44
HI bigpresh
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:23:48
(GUARD will keep list modes like bans/quiets/etc. around by having ChanServ sit around on your channel; MLOCK makes certain modes forced set/unset)
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:23:51
bigpresh: hollywood softwares for vfx
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:23:59
special effects, rendering ,etc
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:24:32
kierqueen: Well, freenode is primarily for channels for FOSS projects; if you find out what some of those projects are, you could see if they have a channel here
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:24:36
BurningPrincess: heya
kierqueen 2017-02-23 05:27:23
I need a list of softwares that hollwood uses natively on linux, and the movies used to make it, it's like movies chat, not just software, uhh vfx chat
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:27:50
If you can't find a suitable channel, maybe you can Google for info on which software they use.
as_ 2017-02-23 05:28:02
hi there
BurningPrincess 2017-02-23 05:28:14
Hi, as_ Can I help you?
bn_ 2017-02-23 05:28:19
Skizzerz: thanks
as_ 2017-02-23 05:28:20
ya
as_ 2017-02-23 05:28:30
I downloaded an upgrade file for Zenfone 2
as_ 2017-02-23 05:28:38
but now the phone reboot in TWRP
as_ 2017-02-23 05:28:45
and i cannot find the update file
Fuchs 2017-02-23 05:33:45
chances are your client acts extra stupid then
Fuchs 2017-02-23 05:33:52
we also have the channel modes on our website, though
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:34:01
anyway, +n blocks external messages
Fuchs 2017-02-23 05:34:03
https://freenode.net/kb/answer/channelmodes
Fuchs 2017-02-23 05:34:05
this one
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:34:07
with +n, you need to be on the channel to talk
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:34:15
with -n, anyone can talk on the channel, even if they aren't in it
Infiltrat0r 2017-02-23 05:34:31
is it possible to have a unnailiated cloack please?
Fuchs 2017-02-23 05:34:43
Infiltrat0r: having a look
bn_ 2017-02-23 05:34:58
thanks Fuchs
wodim 2017-02-23 05:34:59
unnailiated/infiltrat0r
wodim 2017-02-23 05:35:06
that's cool actually
wodim 2017-02-23 05:35:10
unique
Fuchs 2017-02-23 05:35:21
Infiltrat0r: mind a short query?
Infiltrat0r 2017-02-23 05:35:26
go
bn_ 2017-02-23 05:40:44
so do you set a mode by doing /mode ? and does it overwrite the previous mode or XOR it?
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:42:19
bn_: /mode channel +flags-flags; it's additive/subtractive: any mode with + in front is added to the current list, and any with - is removed from the current list
grumble 2017-02-23 05:42:24
bn_: setting mode +X will add X to the channel's modes, setting -X will remove it from the channel's modes. no overwriting or xoring is happening
Skizzerz 2017-02-23 05:42:41
e.g. /mode #freenode +gi-C would set g and i and unset C
sebersole 2017-02-23 05:42:45
how long should I expect to wait for SENDPASS email?
Fuchs 2017-02-23 05:42:50
(unless mlock, which is a bit different)
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:43:02
sebersole: Still not received it then? (I did answer you earlier asking how long it'd been)
Fuchs 2017-02-23 05:43:03
sebersole: usually immediate, but we seem to be having some mailing issues currently
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:43:22
sebersole: OK to msg you?
sebersole 2017-02-23 05:43:38
bigpresh: yes
bigpresh 2017-02-23 05:43:47
thanks :)
sebersole 2017-02-23 05:43:56
thank you ;)
