hey everyone
tenPound 2017-02-24 06:48:16
Hello, a stray tutorial said this was the place to have my password reset. I registered a nick ages ago and can't remember much about it. I could offer my email in the appropriate way.
tenPound 2017-02-24 06:48:16
whatever that way is.
emerson 2017-02-24 06:49:02
/msg nickserv sendpass yournick
emerson 2017-02-24 06:49:09
that will send a reset command to your email
tenPound 2017-02-24 06:49:19
I figure I should reregister. Is probably expired
Fuchs 2017-02-24 06:49:23
tenPound: if you still remember the nick: what emerson wrote. Else: you can send any of us staffers the e-mail address in private, and we'll sendpass accounts on it
Fuchs 2017-02-24 06:49:36
tenPound: if you talk about your current nick: yep, that is not registered (any more)
tenPound 2017-02-24 06:50:06
oh hey thanks emerson!
tenPound 2017-02-24 06:50:06
I was coming to that conclusion. doing some more googling.

hello samayra
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:20:57
is this the right channel to ask for help, regarding channel modes and unbans on a channel I founded?
emerson 2017-02-24 07:21:13
sure
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:21:21
Woot!
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:21:58
So, in a fit of noobishness, I added a ban to my channel ban list that looks like this: ban *!*@~:
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:22:18
executing /mode -b *!*@~ didn't clear it from the ban list.
emerson 2017-02-24 07:22:33
was the : part of it?
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:22:36
I assume I not only added it because of noobishness, but cannot remove for similar reasons.
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:22:47
No, I don't think so. That was a cut and paste error.
Sagan 2017-02-24 07:22:59
g4rlic: you can do /mode #yourchan +b, and then find it
Sagan 2017-02-24 07:23:10
and the remove it. if it matches the exactly set ban, it should work
emerson 2017-02-24 07:23:36
yea, i just tried it, and it works fine.
Sagan 2017-02-24 07:23:39
sometimes clients set bans a bit different for example, so the same command with -b does not work in all cases
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:23:56
Sagan: yeah, I think that's what happened, the : *was* part of it..
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:24:01
Anyway, ban cleared.
g4rlic 2017-02-24 07:24:05
thanks for the help folks!
Sagan 2017-02-24 07:24:05
ok :)
emerson 2017-02-24 07:24:09
cool
Sagan 2017-02-24 07:24:34
g4rlic: you're welcome :)
daey 2017-02-24 07:33:20
e: any progress on your 'im investigating ##cycling?'
emerson 2017-02-24 07:35:46
lol at the topic of ##cycling: WD-40 is *not* a chain lubricant
emerson 2017-02-24 07:35:59
i beg to differ :p
MaxDan 2017-02-24 07:36:15
Sure it is
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:38:23
that sounds like a bad idea
MaxDan 2017-02-24 07:38:46
How much faster can chain lube guy go than WD 40 man?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:39:55
how much faster will WD40 disappear than decent chain lube if your bike comes near any rain or other sources of water
potty-nyan 2017-02-24 07:40:47
hello, i would like to request an unaffiliated cloak
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:41:09
potty-nyan: having a look
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:41:40
potty-nyan: looks good, note that it would be based on your account name, not current nick (which I'd recommend anyway). Sounds good?
potty-nyan 2017-02-24 07:41:58
yes that is fine with me
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:42:42
there you go then, fresh, hand made warm cloak, rainbow coloured and shiny
potty-nyan 2017-02-24 07:42:42
thank you very much :D
potty-nyan 2017-02-24 07:43:19
bye!
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:43:27
you're welcome, good bye :)
red-002 2017-02-24 07:54:37
why is joining some channels an instant k-line anyway?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:55:28
because some channels are used for command & control of botnets
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:55:28
and these we want k-lined
red-002 2017-02-24 07:55:28
wouldn't it be easier to just close the channels?
red-002 2017-02-24 07:55:28
or does that cause other isssues?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 07:55:50
well, that would not get rid of the botnet for sure and probably they'd then connect and try to join endlessly
dax 2017-02-24 07:58:23
and being harsh and k-lining them sends a nice "go fuck off elsewhere" to botnet authors
dax 2017-02-24 07:59:20
accidental joins to akline channels is pretty dang rare
emerson 2017-02-24 07:59:34
and easy to correct
coreyfarrell 2017-02-24 08:02:21
does the cloudflare issue have any effect on users that never access via web (irc w/ sasl auth only)?
emerson 2017-02-24 08:05:26
no
emerson 2017-02-24 08:08:31
not for freenode anyways
dax 2017-02-24 08:09:28
no, and it's highly unlikely to have any effect on those who do
coreyfarrell 2017-02-24 08:09:28
great thanks for confirming
jamiejackson 2017-02-24 08:10:29
dax: what does he to do get to a point where he can even issue that command? as in how would irc know that it's he who is requesting that?
emerson 2017-02-24 08:11:30
you can either identify before or supply your pass in the command
jamiejackson 2017-02-24 08:11:39
k
jamiejackson 2017-02-24 08:13:12
so you get in with some random nick first, right?
emerson 2017-02-24 08:13:24
sure
jamiejackson 2017-02-24 08:16:31
hey Oluranti
Oluranti 2017-02-24 08:16:52
Hi jamiejackson
jamiejackson 2017-02-24 08:17:04
so, now that he's in with a pseudonym, what's the next step?
Casper 2017-02-24 08:18:36
Hi there, is there a way for an oper to do me a small favor? there is a misconfigured bot that try to ident to my alternate nick several time a day, I'ld like to track down the owner, so if I give you the nick and hostname, can anyone do a small lookup to see where that bot is? (the nick have protection so it become a guest, so only the host stay I guess)
jamiejackson 2017-02-24 08:20:14
in other words, emerson & dax, i don't know he identifies. (and i'm not sure what you meant by "or supply your pass in the command"--which command was that?)
emerson 2017-02-24 08:21:32
/msg nickserv help release
dax 2017-02-24 08:23:01
contains a field for password
dax 2017-02-24 08:23:11
or you can use identify with an accountname, per /msg nickserv help identify
dax 2017-02-24 08:23:13
either works
jamiejackson 2017-02-24 08:26:31
i see what you're saying, dax
jamiejackson 2017-02-24 08:26:57
welcome identified olu :)
olu 2017-02-24 08:27:08
yeah
koalalorenzo 2017-02-24 08:44:09
Is anybody here from the @staff that can help me to regain ownership to a channel that I owned long time ago? (~2008)
koalalorenzo 2017-02-24 08:44:38
I have sent an email a month ago and I realised now that I got no answer :D (somebody suggested me to send an email)
