Hi, I'd like an unaffiliated mask please
magalhaes 2017-02-23 03:57:28
hello
bigpresh 2017-02-23 03:57:31
zy]x[yz: Sure, one moment
bigpresh 2017-02-23 03:58:37
zy]x[yz : All done - one cloak, thrown together with love by prison inmates using the finest bison hair in a beautiful shade of sapphire. Enjoy!
zy]x[yz 2017-02-23 03:59:17
bigpresh, thanks! Do I need to relog for it to take effect?
nemecy 2017-02-23 03:59:29
no zy]x[yz
zy]x[yz 2017-02-23 03:59:32
oh no, I see it in my status screen. nevermind, thanks again
nemecy 2017-02-23 03:59:44

hi, what's with the lockdown on #sysadmin and #sysadmins?
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:04:07
bn_: They'd be in the wrong namespace; I suspect they were registered then expired and transferred to freenode-staff
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:05:01
"wrong namespace"?
abraxis 2017-02-23 04:07:25
bn_: Channels that are associated with a FOSS project get a single "#", others must use "##"
NAMEijfhejdejdie 2017-02-23 04:07:47
where emerson
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:08:37
NAMEijfhejdejdie: I don't know; is it something another staffer could help with?
NAMEijfhejdejdie 2017-02-23 04:08:47
no hes my bae
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:11:32
abraxis: that's true... so is #sysadmin is currently a FOSS project? when I try to join it says 'you need an invite'
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:11:45
and I can't join ##sysadmin either
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:12:51
(no error message on the latter)
abraxis 2017-02-23 04:13:15
bn_: I don't know, they may be closed groups (invite only).
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:13:33
well, the former is probably so that the forwards works
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:13:37
so let's have a look at the latter
abraxis 2017-02-23 04:13:42
try ##sysadmins
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:13:56
huh
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:14:04
joining ##sysadmin should work, I think
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:14:12
oh
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:14:14
k
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:14:18
that's a bit rude, okay
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:14:33
what happens?
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:14:42
it has a key set
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:14:56
bn_: I am lacking backlog here a bit, what are you looking for?
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:14:57
on my client I get the 'channel joining' sound but never get a new window to open
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:15:06
because maybe you want a different channel, and alis could help you finding it
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:15:20
bn_: it has the +k mode set, so you'd need a key, and the other one is invite only
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:15:40
so I'm not entirely sure whether the +k on ##sysadmin was set on purpose
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:15:43
maybe poke one of the ops
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:17:12
just want to join a channel where one can talk about sysadmin-ing? :)
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:17:47
was the key on ##sysadmin set by someone in #sysadmin?
sebersole 2017-02-23 04:18:08
could someone help me reset my password?
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:18:21
sebersole: You can send yourself a password reset mail - see /msg nickserv help sendpass
sebersole 2017-02-23 04:18:37
sweet, thanks
sebersole 2017-02-23 04:18:49
/msg nickserv help sendpass
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:18:51
well, #sysadmin is only invite only so that the forward to ##sysadmin works
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:19:11
bn_: if you are not supposed to be in either: maybe check out /msg alis list * -topic *sysadmin* or similar
abraxis 2017-02-23 04:19:21
bn_: try ##sysadmin-casual and ask there. There's also ##sysadmins, but that's rather bare
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:19:39
sebersole: almost, make sure there are no spaces in front of the /
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:19:56
sebersole: especially important once you set a new password, so it doesn't end up in public by accident
Tyler_C 2017-02-23 04:21:24
What's sa dudes
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:23:16
Fuchs: thanks.
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:23:25
bn_: you're welcome
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:23:26
Fuchs: I've never even been in #sysadmin or ##sysadmin before so a global lockdown on the namespace seems a bit against the spirit of IRC?
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:24:00
bn_: when I mentioned namespace, on freenode, single-# channels are the primary namespace; they're reserved for on-topic projects with a claim to the name.
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:24:18
For e.g. #foo could be registered by a FOSS projet named "foo"
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:24:38
bn_: the #foo to ##foo forward is actually very much in spirit of freenode, ##foo then being locked with key is a bit odd
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:24:39
Whereas the double-## namespace is the secondary namespace, and is first-come-first-served (more traditional IRC)
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:24:55
bigpresh: thanks, yeah, after abraxis mentioned that I remembered the charter/rules of freenode :)
dw1 2017-02-23 04:27:42
what type of SSL does irc use?
dw1 2017-02-23 04:28:35
is it safe?
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:30:21
We use double-ROT-13 encryption (two rounds makes it even harder to break), it's super safe
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:32:08
is 6667 SSL/TLS? wasn't IRC historically unencrypted?
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:32:29
6667 is plain; 6697 is SSL
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:32:37
(There are a few other plain and SSL ports too)
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:33:10
I have an option in my client to connect with SSL but it never seems to work with most networks, haven't tried with freenode recently though
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:33:58
bn_: if you enable it, and tell the client to connect on 6697, it should work just fine
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:34:10
bigpresh: can I connect with TLS 1.0?
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:34:34
I don't recall offhand; I think TLS 1.0 is insecure and generally unsupported IIRC
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:36:42
dw1: what are you trying to protect against?
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:36:44
bn_: Anyway, your client and the server should negotiate the most secure proto/cipher they both support automatically
rosros2000 2017-02-23 04:37:10
/msg NickServ SET PASSWORD swordfish
rosros2000 2017-02-23 04:37:17
/msg NickServ SET PASSWORD swordfish
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:37:25
rosros2000: I'd pick a new password now if I were you :)
Dominian 2017-02-23 04:37:27
doh
bn_ 2017-02-23 04:37:30
lol
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:37:32
rosros2000: no space in front of the /, you need to be logged in, and please take a better password
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:37:34
preferably a stonger one anyway :)
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:37:52
bigpresh: that's the one from the services documentation, I think
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:37:59
(as in: nickserv help set password)
tAVO 2017-02-23 04:38:15
Hello
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:38:15
We should have used hunter2 :)
booger_eater 2017-02-23 04:38:21
Fuchs: I need IRC advice
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:38:27
booger_eater: hi, yes, in what sense?
booger_eater 2017-02-23 04:38:43
how can I do tor on freenode
bigpresh 2017-02-23 04:38:47
well, we/they (if it's just the upstream charybdis help text)
tAVO 2017-02-23 04:39:09
Sorry, is this the correct group for the program freebayes ?
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:39:11
booger_eater: a torified client, SASL external and by using our hidden service, hang on
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:39:42
booger_eater: see https://freenode.net/kb/answer/chat towards the bottom
booger_eater 2017-02-23 04:39:53
SASL external != usual SASL?
booger_eater 2017-02-23 04:39:56
ok
User_Script 2017-02-23 04:40:08
hi
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:40:12
yeah, it's the one that requires an external certificate, with its fingerprint added to nickserv
booger_eater 2017-02-23 04:40:45
Fuchs: what is a client that support that
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:41:02
booger_eater: Hexchat, irssi, weechat and znc (bouncer) come to mind
booger_eater 2017-02-23 04:41:10
ok
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:41:11
booger_eater: there is a link with instructions for some of them
tenax_user 2017-02-23 04:41:13
booger_eater: for days I tried to setu open one, but no one worked for me , from pidgin to hexchat
Fuchs 2017-02-23 04:41:23
well, yes, pidgin probably doesn't
tenax_user 2017-02-23 04:41:44
try Hexchat, or XChat if you are fortunate :)
