| nirik | nice we have a ad spammer in the top links. ;( | Mar 12 09:36 |
| Sonar_Guy | nirik: who? | Mar 12 09:36 |
| zcat | mib_4325pbwl mibbit spammer | Mar 12 09:37 |
| nirik | second one down... a mibbit user I bet | Mar 12 09:37 |
| zcat | how 'bout a mib_* ban for a week? :) | Mar 12 09:37 |
| zcat | can at least change nick. | Mar 12 09:37 |
| Sonar_Guy | nirik: yup | Mar 12 09:37 |
| nirik | yeah, we may want to consider that. | Mar 12 09:37 |
| Sonar_Guy | I say that would work | Mar 12 09:37 |
| <--neverho0d has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) | Mar 12 09:38 | |
| nirik | zcat: they get mib_ by default but can change it? | Mar 12 09:38 |
| *nirik has never used it... | Mar 12 09:38 | |
| zcat | ivazquez|laptop has | Mar 12 09:38 |
| Sonar_Guy | zcat: so have I | Mar 12 09:38 |
| nirik | we seem to get a lot of abuse from there tho. The question is would we be blocking out legit users.... | Mar 12 09:38 |
| ivazquez|laptop | Block by username. | Mar 12 09:38 |
| kc8hfi | you can type in your nick before you click go from mibbit | Mar 12 09:39 |
| nirik | not sure that will help... the spammers can start doing that too... and the users who are looking for help won't know to. | Mar 12 09:39 |
| ivazquez|laptop | The username mibbit reports is the IP address of the user. | Mar 12 09:40 |
| nirik | I did report a mibbit spammer the other day... they were quite responsive. | Mar 12 09:40 |

| nirik | perhaps we should try this next week to report any we get to abuse@mibbit.com and see if that slows them down? | Mar 12 09:41 |

| nirik | ok, so any consensus? | Mar 12 09:43 |
| Sonar_Guy | nirik: sounds good to me | Mar 12 09:43 |
| maxamillion | not sure my opinion matters as i'm more of a visitor, but i think that'd be a solid course of action | Mar 12 09:43 |
| nirik | FYI, I got a reply in about 35min from mibbit... but might have been a fluke. ;) | Mar 12 09:43 |
| zcat | nirik, just a quicky email? | Mar 12 09:44 |
| nirik | yeah, I just say 'abuse on #fedora on freenode' and pasted the ad spew they had with their hostmask... | Mar 12 09:44 |
| nirik | and I guess to ban these people we need to do a /whois on them and nuke their ip, which is their username? | Mar 12 09:45 |
| zcat | sure. i don't think irc spammers use botnets... yet | Mar 12 09:45 |

| ---[mib_mofcex] irc.freenode.net :http://freenode.net/ | Mar 12 09:47 | |
| ---[mib_mofcex] End of WHOIS list. | Mar 12 09:47 | |
| nirik | and it comes up with my comcast ip in whois... | Mar 12 09:47 |
| nirik | so I think that we can use that to ban... | Mar 12 09:47 |
| zcat | [mib_mofcex] (i=4c782a16@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-67a6d2fa2d4226e4): c-76-120-42-22.hsd1.co.comcast.net | Mar 12 09:47 |
| nirik | yep. | Mar 12 09:47 |
| ivazquez|laptop | *!?=4c782a16@gateway/* | Mar 12 09:48 |
| *nirik needs to look at a fedbot alias for just getting that from a hostmask or doing the whois and parsing it or something. | Mar 12 09:48 | |
| nirik | ivazquez|laptop: that won't work tho will it? or is that hash always the same per ip? | Mar 12 09:48 |
| ivazquez|laptop | That's not a hash. | Mar 12 09:48 |
| ivazquez|laptop | That's the IP address encoded in hex. | Mar 12 09:48 |
| nirik | ah ha. | Mar 12 09:48 |
| nirik | would it still be better to get the IP so they can't then come on direct? | Mar 12 09:49 |

| ---stickster is now known as stickster_food | Mar 12 09:50 | |
| kc8hfi | if their ip is blocked, then they can't come in no matter what, right? | Mar 12 09:50 |
| nirik | kc8hfi: yeah, they could via mibbit. ;) | Mar 12 09:50 |
| nirik | ok, so ideal is the above from ivazquez|laptop | Mar 12 09:50 |
| nirik | whats the string at the end there? x-9fb7c8ce5f324d6e ? | Mar 12 09:50 |
| nirik | internal mibbit stuff? | Mar 12 09:51 |
| ivazquez|laptop | Internal Freenode stuff. | Mar 12 09:51 |

| nirik | ok, will move on if there is nothing else on those. | Mar 12 09:53 |
| ---nirik has changed the topic to: IRC Support SIG meeting - Shortcuts | Mar 12 09:54 | |
| nirik | perhaps someone would be interested in taking vilegents xchat shortcuts and adding on to them and distributing them to anyone interested? Also, irssi and other clients ones would be nice to have... | Mar 12 09:55 |
| nirik | per our last meeting I think we can add in some polite context for them that would help new users... | Mar 12 09:55 |
| Sonar_Guy | nirik: I have my own list that is different from vilegents | Mar 12 09:55 |
| kc8hfi | I'd like to figure out how to add scripts and stuff to konversation | Mar 12 09:56 |
| Sonar_Guy | kc8hfi: they are just user commands | Mar 12 09:56 |
| nirik | kc8hfi: yes, that would be nice too... ;) I bet it has a way... | Mar 12 09:56 |
| ivazquez|laptop | pidgin does only simple replacements, not full macros. | Mar 12 09:56 |
| nirik | Sonar_Guy: perhaps stick them up somewhere for folks to look at if you dont mind? | Mar 12 09:56 |
| zcat | nirik, you've found supybot's factoid plugin lacking too? | Mar 12 09:56 |
| Sonar_Guy | nirik: sure | Mar 12 09:57 |
| <--nphilipp has quit ("Leaving") | Mar 12 09:57 | |
| nirik | zcat: I found it not functioning. ;) It needs an ancient version of pysqlite that no longer exists outside of muesums. ;) | Mar 12 09:57 |
| nirik | zcat: however, they have redone all the plugins with db to use sqlalchemy... they just haven't done a release yet. | Mar 12 09:57 |
| *zcat will continue use the occasional !foo fedorasolved trigger | Mar 12 09:57 | |
| *ivazquez|laptop was just going to mention SA... | Mar 12 09:57 | |
| nirik | I might spin up a svn checkout version to see if factiods would help us. | Mar 12 09:58 |
| Sonar_Guy | nirik: http://fpaste.org/paste/5953 | Mar 12 09:58 |
| nirik | Sonar_Guy: cool. thanks. | Mar 12 09:59 |
| Sonar_Guy | np | Mar 12 09:59 |
| nirik | if anyone wants to test a svn supybot, feel free and let me know how it looks. ;) | Mar 12 09:59 |
| zcat | nirik, i'll drop by #fedbot (if that's still the channel) when ready | Mar 12 09:59 |
| nirik | zcat: sure, I don't think I am there or have fedbot there, but feel free to use that for testing. | Mar 12 10:00 |
| nirik | huh... supybot switched to git... does sf do git? | Mar 12 10:00 |

| nirik | ok, if anyone would like to work on consolidating shortcuts or get a consistent set working on many of the common irc clients that would be great... | Mar 12 10:01 |
| ivazquez|laptop | sf barely does software these days. | Mar 12 10:01 |
| kc8hfi | Sonar_Guy, nirik I found the location in konversation | Mar 12 10:01 |

| maxamillion | yes, i'm sorry | Mar 12 10:04 |
| maxamillion | was trying to mulit task | Mar 12 10:04 |
| nirik | no worries. ;) | Mar 12 10:04 |

| -->Southern_Gentlem (n=notfred@fedora/Southern-Gentleman) has joined #fedora-meeting | Mar 12 10:05 | |
| maxamillion | I have been told that in the past there were issues with people not being too friendly to people in the irc channels, i've also been told that this has greatly been solved due to the efforts of the group in attendance here (along with others) | Mar 12 10:05 |
| nirik | well, we hope so, but things still happen... :( | Mar 12 10:06 |
| -->sharkcz (n=dan@plz1-v-4-17.static.adsl.vol.cz) has joined #fedora-meeting | Mar 12 10:06 | |
| maxamillion | now, with that being said ... I did encounter someone in #fedora earlier this week who was border line trolling me when i was trying to ask an honest question, and when i got frustrated and called him a name, i got scolded for using bad language | Mar 12 10:06 |
| maxamillion | i will admit whole heartedly that i am in the wrong for not watching my language and i appologize for that | Mar 12 10:06 |
| -->mejla (n=mejla@wired-177.fi.muni.cz) has joined #fedora-meeting | Mar 12 10:06 | |
| maxamillion | but i would like to see that people who are rude are atleast requested not to be so, I am constantly advocating fedora to anyone i can find with a computer and i consider irc a big factor in finding help and i would hate to have that be a place that discourages new users | Mar 12 10:07 |
| Southern_Gentlem | maxamillion, irc has a /ignore function | Mar 12 10:08 |
| maxamillion | Southern_Gentlem: i understand that, but someone who is brand new to fedora and brand new to irc probably isn't aware | Mar 12 10:08 |
| Southern_Gentlem | personality clashes will happen | Mar 12 10:08 |
| nirik | maxamillion: sorry to hear it. ;( I know I have triggers on "bad words", so even if I am not active I might see someone curse and drop in and mention it to them... but not notice the context of the conversation. | Mar 12 10:08 |

| maxamillion | nirik: well, the op who scolded me was active in the conversation ... which was slightly offputting, but i would also like to mention that i've been watching #fedora more closely since this happened and i have noticed that the irc channel has been very civil, very helpful, and the op who was involved has been a standing ovation to what i think an op should be for an irc channel belonging to a project like fedora, so i don't find the | Mar 12 10:10 |
| Southern_Gentlem | maxamillion, can you post a log of the event to fpaste.org please | Mar 12 10:10 |
| nirik | I would like to see us try and get people to be less confrontational and anoying... but sometimes thats hard to do without getting everyone upset | Mar 12 10:10 |
| maxamillion | Southern_Gentlem: i unfortunately don't have one | Mar 12 10:10 |
| maxamillion | nirik: right, and i understan | Mar 12 10:10 |
| maxamillion | understand* | Mar 12 10:10 |
| nirik | maxamillion: I have logs... I can probibly find it if you tell me when it was. ;) | Mar 12 10:10 |
| nirik | maxamillion: yeah, sounds like they were tired and should have stepped away from the mic. | Mar 12 10:11 |
| maxamillion | nirik: pretty sure it was tuesday evening around midnight (UTC-6) | Mar 12 10:11 |
| Southern_Gentlem | maxamillion, i really suggest you log the channel if nothing else when you have problems you have the logs to go back on for the solutions | Mar 12 10:11 |
| maxamillion | i really just wanted to mention it, i'm a fedora faithful and i'm not going anywhere but i can see how a situation like that would bother a number of users who are new | Mar 12 10:12 |

| nirik | looks like mwilson was involved. | Mar 12 10:13 |
| maxamillion | nirik: anytime | Mar 12 10:14 |
| nirik | would someone be interested in talking to mwilson and asking them to tone down the sarcasm/unhelpfull helpfull advice? | Mar 12 10:14 |
| maxamillion | nirik: thank you | Mar 12 10:15 |
| *nirik can try, but he usually ignores me when I try and talk to him. | Mar 12 10:15 | |

| Sonar_Guy | nirik: I have tried in the past | Mar 12 10:16 |

| Sonar_Guy | lol | Mar 12 10:16 |
| nirik | maxamillion: yes. But he is usually carefull to not cross the line... | Mar 12 10:16 |
| Sonar_Guy | nirik: I have thought about moving the line with him. | Mar 12 10:17 |
| maxamillion | nirik: and i didn't entirely think he crossed a line ... but it was a little off putting an discouraging | Mar 12 10:17 |
| nirik | Sonar_Guy: me too. | Mar 12 10:17 |
| nirik | maxamillion: yes. He does help a few people with his tough love tactics, but it annoys many more than it helps. | Mar 12 10:17 |
| maxamillion | nirik: makes sense | Mar 12 10:18 |
| maxamillion | nirik: does he do any packaging, developing, ambassador work, etc. ? | Mar 12 10:18 |
| Sonar_Guy | lol | Mar 12 10:18 |
| nirik | some people only respond to that, but the problem is you have no way of knowing who will and who will be offended. | Mar 12 10:18 |
| nirik | ok, anyone have anything else? | Mar 12 10:18 |
| nirik | was someone working on a perl/python/whatever xchat plugin for dynamic highlighting? I seem to recall someone mentioning that... | Mar 12 10:19 |
| ivazquez|laptop | Which dynamic highlighting? | Mar 12 10:21 |
| nirik | ok, I will end the meeting in a few here unless someone comes up with something more. | Mar 12 10:21 |
| nirik | ivazquez|laptop: so it can only highlight in specific channels or at specific times... | Mar 12 10:21 |
| nirik | ivazquez|laptop: xchat has all or nothing. | Mar 12 10:21 |
| ivazquez|laptop | Ah, okay. | Mar 12 10:21 |
| nirik | I don't want to care about curse words in other channels for example. | Mar 12 10:21 |
| nirik | sometimes social just beeps a lot here. ;) | Mar 12 10:22 |
