No spaces other than between args
noob1337 2017-02-24 10:45:18
i said hi to thumbs in #httpd channel and now im queited there wtf ?!
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:45:24
KeithMnemonic: huh, that should work
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:45:31
the channel name I was given sounded legit.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:45:34
KeithMnemonic: maybe irccloud does something stupid to it?
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:45:39
Fuchs: i think the kline topic needs to be dropped its getting repeative
tigrmesh 2017-02-24 10:46:06
-aww
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:46:09
Zppix we have a right to address issues on the network.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:46:10
tigrmesh: yes.
gildarts 2017-02-24 10:46:18
Zppix: Welcome to #freenode, conversations here tend to be circular.
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:46:22
this is the place to address such concerns.
KeithMnemonic 2017-02-24 10:46:28
I know . let me try typing it instead of copy paste
amnet 2017-02-24 10:46:28
Zppix: By hacker design, yes.
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:46:29
erasmus: true but saying the same thing over and over kinda is pointless
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:46:37
erasmus: yes, let's say we did notice your concern, and replied to it
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:46:39
Zppix so use /ignore
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:46:45
erasmus: I think it can now be dropped
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:47:03
erasmus: as i provide my help to the users in this channel when needed as a volunteer i try to avoid ignoring users
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:49:04
Zppix that's fine when staff isn't around.
KeithMnemonic 2017-02-24 10:49:05
Ok solved bad copy paste
siegbert 2017-02-24 10:49:05
how to cloak my ipadress?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:49:05
KeithMnemonic: odd. Glad to hear, though
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:49:05
aw
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:49:05
erasmus: actually its fine period, i'm allowed to help. Fuchs and other staff can confirm
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:49:05
siegbert: hi, having a look
dikdik 2017-02-24 10:49:10
IP addresses are the best though
ghormoon 2017-02-24 10:49:11
hi, any idea for a frontend/web related channel? I can't google up anything relevant :)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:49:12
can we drop the k-line channel topic a bit?
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:49:14
siegbert: you can aquire an unaffliated cloak
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:49:16
it is getting very circular indeed
preaction 2017-02-24 10:49:25
ghormoon: #web, #css, ##javascript
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:49:28
Zppix then perhaps they should make you staff. But since you aren't then I prefer to speak directly with them.
siegbert 2017-02-24 10:49:29
nice how? :)
ghormoon 2017-02-24 10:49:32
thanks
preaction 2017-02-24 10:49:32
ghormoon: ##frontend also
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:49:36
ghormoon: there are some, I think #web or something was it, try alis, see /msg alis help list
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:49:51
siegbert: use a vpn, a proxy, or use tor with sasl
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:49:51
siegbert: already having a look, just be patient :)
ghormoon 2017-02-24 10:49:53
ah, I found #frontend where it whowed 4 people on graph so I idn't even join :)
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:50:07
an unaffiliated cloak does not hide your ip address
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:50:10
erasmus: I will become staff if they ask me to, but I rather avoid asking to become staff. being staff doesn't mean anything to me, its just a title
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:50:16
it's just for aesthetics
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:50:18
siegbert: there you go, fresh warm hand made cloak, green
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:50:30
Zppix: please drop it, thank you
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:50:38
Zppix I don't know you from a hole in the wall. When I type stats p I know who is.
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:50:41
Fuchs: okay.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:50:47
erasmus: you too.
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:50:49
why should I trust you Zppix ?
siegbert 2017-02-24 10:51:03
very nice ty Fuchs :)
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:51:12
erasmus: I'm not discussing this topic further as i've been instructed not too
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:51:14
guys, drop it please, I'd rather not quiet you both, but I definitely will if you continue. Thanks.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:51:53
siegbert: you're welcome :)
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:52:11
and yet you still need to have the last word.
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:52:27
Fuchs: i thought staff gave disclaimers about cloaks not being used to hide ip addresses when cloaking people? is that no longer true?
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:52:28
ryonaloli: Cloaks can be used to "hide" ips except when webchat.freenode.net
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:52:41
Zppix: no they cannot
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:52:41
ryonaloli: it depends on the case
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:52:41
a cloak is for aesthetics only. it can be trivially uncloaked using standard freenode commands by any user.
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:52:50
ryonaloli: thats what i meant my fault for misleading you
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:53:01
ah
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:53:15
ryonaloli: would be a bit silly imo to put a tin-canned reply on every cloak request, so personally I tend it to do for people who specifically ask for their IP to be hidden and if it has not already been given in some sort
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:53:52
Fuchs: so if i hadn't mentioned to siegbert that cloaks do not hide ip addresses, you would have mentioned it/
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:53:55
*?
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:53:59
ryonaloli: regardless if theres prior reports of abuse or such from that requestee im sure the staff wouldnt assign a cloak to it (then again im not sure cause i don't know the exact policy)
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:54:28
Zppix: i couldn't parse that sentence
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:54:41
he's trying too hard.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:55:35
ryonaloli: probably, depends on how he asked, how it would have went further etc.
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:55:35
ryonaloli: basically the staff can tell if someone should get a cloak or not based upon their judgement
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:55:35
Zppix: oh that's not what i was asking
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:55:35
Fuchs: oh ok
siegbert 2017-02-24 10:55:35
ehm i mean cloaking my hostname...
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:55:35
also if we could maybe try to keep the meta discussions down that seem to happen every time someone asks $x, that'd be great.
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:55:40
thanks, just wanted to be sure. i see a *lot* of people who still think it's for hiding their ip so it gets on my nerves. but yeah.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:55:54
siegbert: hi, yes, it is cloaked, see what others wrote though
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:56:16
siegbert: if you are referring to the "is connecting from" line: only you and staff see that, but what ryonaloli wrote applies
Zppix 2017-02-24 10:56:29
Fuchs: my bad im not trying to start mass discussions just trying to answer questions.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:56:38
Zppix: okay, maybe stop that a bit.
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:56:42
Lol
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:56:48
erasmus: same for you applies
erasmus 2017-02-24 10:56:51
LOL
siegbert 2017-02-24 10:57:01
yea sure.. but when i do a whois on others i see the ip no? nickname!name@IP
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:57:43
siegbert: depends on whether they are cloaked or not, if they are cloaked: a simple whois won't show it, no
amnet 2017-02-24 10:58:13
Fuchs: So even with a cloak your IP is publicly accessible to any bot or user on freenode?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:58:17
amnet: -ish. If they know how to decloak, but given that is a short google search: assume that yes.
gildarts 2017-02-24 10:58:17
It is a reason to use a bouncer or tor.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:58:17
if you are worried that much: yes
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:58:20
yes glebihan_
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:58:23
er
gildarts 2017-02-24 10:58:28
Maybe not a /good/ reason, but whatever.
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:58:30
i mean gildarts
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:58:31
note that you broadcast your IP in various other services on the internet as well, and usually it's not a problem
amnet 2017-02-24 10:58:36
Are cloaks per-IP, per-Services registration, or either?
siegbert 2017-02-24 10:58:42
Fuchs, i know... i mean when i did a whois
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:58:42
there are plenty of not cloaked people on freenode who have zero issues due to that
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:58:43
but yes it takes only 32 quick commands and you get the real ip
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:58:55
siegbert: yes. You won't see e.g. my IP in a whois, because I am cloaked
ryonaloli 2017-02-24 10:58:59
if you use ipv6, it takes 128 commands, but it always works
Fuchs 2017-02-24 10:59:10
fsvo always
siegbert 2017-02-24 11:00:28
[abraxis] (~abraxis@41.144.246.202): Victor Meldrew << this is what i mean so my one is cloaked now and good :D
siegbert 2017-02-24 11:00:56
i am out cya and thx :)
dax 2017-02-24 11:06:26
Not sure precisely what that means, but a user cloaked via NickServ who is not in any channels can get their IP address found out by any freenode user without action on the cloaked user's part.
dax 2017-02-24 11:07:37
hence tor-sasl and friends
laowai 2017-02-24 11:08:21
why is decloak so over rated
amnet 2017-02-24 11:10:19
Provided knowledge of the user's nickname, yes.
dax 2017-02-24 11:10:19
I think a more cromulent question would be "Why are cloaks so overrated?"
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:10:19
I don't really need a cloak
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:10:19
It just makes me feel special that there is more than comcast BS there
dax 2017-02-24 11:10:19
amnet: I'm not sure that "I don't know what someone's nick is and they're not in any channels but i want to decloak them" is a particularly sane or interesting use case, and since I'm not hugely interested in debating it, I guess we'll leave it there.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:10:19
also personally I think a dikdik cloak is probably among the cutest cloaks we have, so it certainly looks better than *
rob0 2017-02-24 11:10:19
haha
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:10:19
I wish I had dikdik@freenode/dikdik xD
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:10:19
or something
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:10:19
Not sure how cloaks work
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:10:19
Oh I do have unaffiliated/dikdik
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:10:19
:D
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:10:19
can't do that, but if you start a project called dikdik, that is on-topic and actually a project not only to get a cloak, you could technically get dikdik@dikdik/dikdik/dikdik
Shoh 2017-02-24 11:10:24
Hey, is it possible for someone to reset my password?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:10:26
cloaks work like @project/optionalpart/identifierThatIsUsuallyTheName
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:10:32
Shoh: hi, see /msg nickserv help sendpass
amnet 2017-02-24 11:10:33
dax: It's not particularly sane, no. The point is more that joining channels is the source of IRC-related risks.
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:10:39
I don't have any projects to start, sorry
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:10:57
dikdik: ah well, the unaffiliated one is also okay
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:11:01
What qualifies as a project anyway?
Shoh 2017-02-24 11:11:13
ah, perfect- thanks Fuchs
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:11:20
dikdik: free / open source software and peer directed groups, mostly
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:11:47
So if I wrote bot software in Ada and called it Adikdik I could start a project for it?
dax 2017-02-24 11:12:03
depends on how the groups team feel about notability these days
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:12:06
dikdik: yes, but then the project would be called adikdik, not dikdik
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:12:22
dax: see above, "actually a project not only to get a cloak"
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:12:23
But I could be a dikdik affiliated with adikdik
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:12:27
dikdik: yes
dax 2017-02-24 11:12:29
well yeah that too
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:12:40
dikdik: so that'd be @adikdik/dikdik/dikdik (example)
dax 2017-02-24 11:12:44
but i was more talking about how Back In My Day i used to set grfs for irc bots on fire whenever possible
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:12:46
xD
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:12:49
this is absurd
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:12:57
well, yes, if you do it for the purpose of cloaks it is
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:13:02
otherwise I'd say it is quite lovely
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:13:19
e.g. a project I am group contact of uses it to mark members of our team, and what subteam they are in
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:13:25
Maybe someday I will start a project and I will name it adikdik
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:13:28
:P
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:13:39
e.g. ubuntuusers/projectlead/henry or ubuntuusers/supporter/dikdik
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:13:50
sure, just don't do it only for the purpose of a cloak. Writing FOSS is fun :)
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:14:01
I wouldn't
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:14:06
then all is great :)
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:14:17
I have always wanted to write software worthy of being a project
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:14:22
I am just not any good at it
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:14:27
there you go, now you have good extra motivation
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:14:33
nobody starts with being good at it
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:14:38
I know
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:14:38
you get good by learning and experience
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:14:41
Shh
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:14:43
SSH
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:14:45
xD
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:14:58
I really want to write a bot though
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:15:02
Since it sounds super neat
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:15:57
well, weekend ahead, do start :)
dikdik 2017-02-24 11:16:25
Must learn the intricacies of Ada first
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:16:49
good luck, then!
krae 2017-02-24 11:17:34
Hey-o
krae 2017-02-24 11:18:05
I'd like to make a request for an unaffl cloak
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:18:20
krae: yes, hi, having a look
krae 2017-02-24 11:18:36
Thank you
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:18:55
krae: there you go, fresh hand-woven cloak, shiny and warm. Doesn't hide your IP terribly well, but looks great and sparkles.
krae 2017-02-24 11:19:14
Heh heh, thanks
laowai 2017-02-24 11:19:23
warm
amnet 2017-02-24 11:19:25
Yes, hopefully you're not asking to avoid the prying eyes of a bot or hacker.
Siju 2017-02-24 11:19:34
Fuchs: time for a pm?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:19:41
Siju: hi, sure
gildarts 2017-02-24 11:20:04
amnet: I think anyone who really needs that would have done enough research to be using tor or something similar.
amnet 2017-02-24 11:20:33
Cloudflare's popularity is evidence against that heuristic.
gildarts 2017-02-24 11:22:03
Eh, fair point.
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:23:28
hello community, can I get a cloak please?
BurningPrincess 2017-02-24 11:23:55
Please wait for a Freenode staff member to help you
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:24:06
BurningPrincess, sure, thank you
BurningPrincess 2017-02-24 11:24:15
You are welcome, Installovich
laowai 2017-02-24 11:24:25
BurningPrincess: hi
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:24:30
BurningPrincess, thank you
BurningPrincess 2017-02-24 11:25:06
Hi, laowai , I think I asked you to leave me alone
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:30:02
a foo or a bar / he who giveth me the cloak shall be my star
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:35:06
come on Alice, come on Bob / hurry up, haste, get your cloak
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:37:26
my long, winding road/perilous as it is without a cloak/hold my spirits high. keep my hope/cause there is always one, if you're on freenode
BurningPrincess 2017-02-24 11:39:09
Nice poem, Installovich
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:39:58
thank you, BurningPrincess
BurningPrincess 2017-02-24 11:40:12
You are welcome, Installovich

Installovich 2017-02-24 11:42:02
lovely
Zppix 2017-02-24 11:45:06
Can we please stop the off topic chatter.
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:45:06
verses born, their channel users adorn / a piper in the hut blows his horn/
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:45:38
Installovich: if you could stop that a bit, that'd be great
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:45:58
@Fuchs, by all mean
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:46:00
s
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:46:31
not standing in the way of having the channel resume its ear-shattering quiet
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:46:47
there you have your cloak, now we can all go back to being quiet again indeed :)
Installovich 2017-02-24 11:47:08
@Fuchs, my gratitude
g4rlic 2017-02-24 11:48:14
So random lyrical poetry is what I need to get an unaffiliated cloak? :D
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:48:44
no, asking is sufficient, usually :)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:49:05
random lyrical poetry is completely unrelated and might actually get you quieted by channel operators
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:49:13
g4rlic: why, were you looking for one as well?

Has freenode considered having a Poet Laureate, with a special cloak?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:49:34
I think we'd leave that to projects
g4rlic 2017-02-24 11:49:48
Fuchs: I've never had one, not sure why I'd need one, mostly curious.
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:50:18
you don't :)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:50:24
but if you wanted one I could throw one at you
g4rlic 2017-02-24 11:51:04
If you're in a generous mood, sure, I would love one. :)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:51:41
sure, there we go, fresh, hand made warm cloak, garlic coloured with a +5 against vampires
HoMM 2017-02-24 11:51:49
heya mates, I'd like to ask for a password reset email please
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:52:03
HoMM: hi, you can send these yourself since a bit, see /msg nickserv help sendpass
HoMM 2017-02-24 11:52:09
thx
g4rlic 2017-02-24 11:52:10
hah, thank you!
amnet 2017-02-24 11:52:42
Don't join any K-line channels.
naf 2017-02-24 11:53:11
is #kline a k-line channel?
naf 2017-02-24 11:53:33
oh found it
dax 2017-02-24 11:53:33
or is it kline's channel
naf 2017-02-24 11:53:34
##k-line
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:53:59
you know, either they are not k-line channels or it would be a super stupid idea to link to them here
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:54:04
so I suggest just stopping :)
HoMM 2017-02-24 11:54:12
got it sorted, thanks again Fuchs, have a nice day/evening!
naf 2017-02-24 11:54:18
okay
naf 2017-02-24 11:54:25
(nobody join the channel i just posted)
naf 2017-02-24 11:54:27
there
naf 2017-02-24 11:54:28
bandaid
naf 2017-02-24 11:54:34
:)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:54:39
HoMM: you're welcome, and you too!
g4rlic 2017-02-24 11:54:48
so a k-line channel is what, a place that if you're dumb enough to visit, your /24 gets banhammered?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:54:52
hm, yes, that appears to have worked indeed :)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:54:55
g4rlic: just your host
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:55:00
but yes, essentially that
naf 2017-02-24 11:55:09
it's a channel where, if you own a large channel and want to be a massive troll,
naf 2017-02-24 11:55:19
you set chan mode +l to 0 and +L to the k-line channel
entuland 2017-02-24 11:55:31
what is the problem with joining a k-line channel? I've joined one today (I think) which was advised as being k-line here, I got a message that said "you are banned" and continued chatting here without any problem...
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:55:38
we have +f, and it requires you to be an op in both, so you can't do such stupidities, fortunately
dax 2017-02-24 11:55:44
entuland: it wasn't a k-line channel by the time you got to it, then
naf 2017-02-24 11:55:45
ah, good call
dax 2017-02-24 11:55:56
(or at all, if someone was just being a twit)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:56:05
it was one
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:56:10
it no longer is one
g4rlic 2017-02-24 11:56:27
Trolling on IRC is still alive and well then. I feel like I've missed out on so much in the intervening years since #mp3music on efnet.
entuland 2017-02-24 11:56:29
even though it said "you are banned"? I guess the refusal message is disconnected from the actual action of getting banned
entuland 2017-02-24 11:56:39
guessing right?
naf 2017-02-24 11:56:59
if you were k-lined you wouldn't be chatting with us in here entuland
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:57:28
entuland: one thing that could have happened is that you got banned from the channel instead
naf 2017-02-24 11:57:32
if you are banned from the channel, they may not want you in there :~
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:57:32
I'd have to look at how we did set it up (temporarily)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:57:32
if you were k-lined, you'd certainly not be able to write on
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:57:42
there would at least have been a reconnect, in case of the k-line being removed swiftly
g4rlic 2017-02-24 11:59:16
Fuchs: thanks for the nice new cloak. Enjoy your weekend folks!
entuland 2017-02-24 11:59:24
well, dunno. Asking just for curiosity. The channel had been reported as k-line just minutes before I tried joining without any consequence (apart from not being able to enter it)
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:59:28
g4rlic: you too!
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:59:45
entuland: yeah, chances is we did set it up so people with an account / a cloak can't join it
Fuchs 2017-02-24 11:59:57
entuland: e.g. a ban on *!*@*/* and $a
Zppix 2017-02-24 12:00:15
what is $a, i forget
Fuchs 2017-02-24 12:00:32
entuland: but I'd have to check logs. Short: you certainly weren't k-lined, otherwise your client misbehaved rather well in hiding that, as it would at least have caused a reconnect
Fuchs 2017-02-24 12:00:35
account
Fuchs 2017-02-24 12:00:49
it's in /quote help extban if you want, and I think on our website
entuland 2017-02-24 12:01:42
oh I see
entuland 2017-02-24 12:01:45
thanks
Fuchs 2017-02-24 12:01:51
you're welcome :)
opm 2017-02-24 12:02:31
road|runner: beep beep
r3 2017-02-24 12:02:44
Fuchs: may I /msg you with a private question?
entuland 2017-02-24 12:03:02
just out of curiosity: the ability to perform a network ban shouldn't be a prerogative of the network's staff -- i.e. the ops in this very channel?
Fuchs 2017-02-24 12:03:06
r3: sure, I'll have to leave shortly, though
Fuchs 2017-02-24 12:03:23
entuland: network bans (k-lines) can only be set by us indeed
Fuchs 2017-02-24 12:03:29
channel operators can ban you from their channels
entuland 2017-02-24 12:03:34
ah good
entuland 2017-02-24 12:03:41
now it makes a sane sense :)
entuland 2017-02-24 12:13:40
I cannot help myself but ask: if only the staff here can set such a channel to k-line, how come such channels happen to appear? mistake? troll given op powers? bored op looking for action? :P
ishanyx 2017-02-24 12:14:37
botnet tries to use freenode for its command channel -> staff klinechan its channel to keep the bots off the network
ishanyx 2017-02-24 12:15:35
(and the botnet zombies are unlikely to match the two bans Fuchs mentioned)
entuland 2017-02-24 12:15:58
oh, interesting... I didn't consider such a scenario... thanks ishanyx
polprog 2017-02-24 12:32:39
hi, i recently changed my nick and my cloak stopped working, i think
polprog 2017-02-24 12:32:57
