[00:08] <LjL> PriceChild: yeah they don't act during emergency mode because of that little incident
[00:29] <tomaw> I leave you with ~bbbadtothebone
[00:30] <Seveas> bbadtothebone left us :)
[00:31] <Seveas> (I was keeping an eye on that one)
[00:31] <tomaw> you piped up only after he left, but thanks.
[00:49] <ethan961> Hello, yesterday I was banned from #ubuntu-offtopic for mentioning a destructive command. I apologize for my misbehaviour, and I have read the guidelines (!ettiquete) thouroughly. I take full responsibility for my actions, and was wondering if I could be unbanned?
[00:52] <tonyyarusso> ethan961: Normally you'll need to get in touch with the particular op who banned you, so if they aren't around at the moment it may take a bit.
[00:53] <ethan961> Mr. Seveas was the particular op who banned me.
[00:56] <Seeker`> @btlogin
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> ethan961: Did you get any message as to why you were banned?
[01:00] <PriceChild> ethan961, you mentioned a destructive command? rm / ?
[01:02] <Seeker`> PriceChild: Slightly worse than that (if there can be such a thing)
[01:02] <Seeker`> he put a certain 4 letter word in front
[01:03] <PriceChild> I'm lazy and didn't want to type the whole thing.
[01:03] <PriceChild> I doubt a day will be long enough
[01:04] <PriceChild> @btlogin
[01:06] <ethan961> Yes, that was the command. and although I didnt get a message, I knew that was why.
[01:10] <PriceChild> I love the way you were noticed, because someone pinged the op saying its lucky he wasn't there... a sure fire way to bring him there.
[01:10] <PriceChild> ethan961, what does sudo rm -rf / do?
[01:13] <LjL> lossy compression
[01:14] <ethan961> Destroys ie removes every file in the root partition and every partition mounted on it.
[01:15] <Seeker`> LjL: Not heard it described like that before
[01:17] <PriceChild> ethan961, so not a good thing for a beginner to see?
[01:17] <PriceChild> and wonder "what does that do?"
[01:17] <PriceChild> and try it?
[01:19] <ethan961> No not good. Not advised.
[01:19] <ethan961> Very dangerous to say where it could be heard.
[01:20] <PriceChild> ok.... so what you said was confusing in -offtopic
[01:20] <PriceChild> you said you were googling
[01:20] <PriceChild> as though it were mystical
[01:21] <ethan961> ?
[01:21] <PriceChild> so is it hard to conceive... that a random beginner may skip the googling... and just do it?
[01:23] <ethan961> I would think it less likely, but yes, it is possible
[01:24] <PriceChild> so its a *really* bad thing to be doing....
[01:24] <PriceChild> let alone *TWICE*
[01:25] <ethan961> yes. I realize that I screwed up, and I promise that it will never happen again.
[01:27] <PriceChild> The past month or so we've had several waves of trolls on ubuntuforums.org
[01:27] <PriceChild> dozens upon dozens of trolls posting that command
[01:27] <PriceChild> and people have been affected
[01:27] <PriceChild> I'm sure they've lost work no doubt
[01:28] <ethan961> is it right to ban me on the forums, too?
[01:33] <PriceChild> No i'm just showing you that it does happen.
[01:35] <ethan961> I have several friends who have fallen for it, not on the ubuntuforums afaik gladly
[01:44] <ethan961> I am sorry, I screwed up. I promise that this or anything else will never happen again. May I please have a second chance?
[01:45] <__mikem> PriceChild: I have been talking to him in PM. I was there when it happened. He seems sincerely sorry. And he told me it is his "first offense" 
[01:57] <PriceChild> Seveas, around?
[02:00] <PriceChild> ethan961, I'd rather we wait for the banning op to decide, especially as it was so recently.
[02:01] <ethan961> ok
[02:03] <ethan961> for some reason, however, while I was away from the computer I joined(auto rejoin upon connection loss) and when I noticed I tried to join again, but was told I was banned again
[02:04] <ethan961> when I noticed that I had somehow joined when I got back

[11:49] <jpatrick> I've !en-ed > him and he carrys on
[12:14] <Pici> yeesh.  Looks like it was a busy night.
[13:10] <ikonia> Pici: I left as it was one of the most unusual "trouble" nights I've seen 
[13:10] <Pici> ikonia: Yuck.  
[13:11] <ikonia> just wasn't worth doing anything as everyone was out to be a pain (generalising a tad)
[13:11] <Pici> I have at least 10 ops calls in my hilight log.
[13:12] <ikonia> there was more while I was still around, hence why I just called it a night
[13:52] <Pici> hm.
[13:52] <jpatrick> Achso.
[13:52] <Pici> Vorbote: Greetings, how can we help you today?
[13:54] <Vorbote> I have a question, a long time ago I was banned from ubuntu-es with no apparent reason but trying to quench an off-topic discussion between two teens. I am not particularly interested in having access to that channel anymore, but I'd like to know what happened at the time.
[13:56] <Vorbote> I was using irssi at that time and I wasn't aware of its ping problems then. If it was an automatic ban that would be the cause.
[13:56] <Vorbote> Otherwise I suspect a sort of immature vendetta by asociation with another user that frequented the channel at the time.
[13:58] <no0tic> Vorbote, I don't think you're still banned from -es
[13:59] <Vorbote> Hmm.... Lemme try that out.
[13:59] <PriceChild> Vorbote, we do not manage loco channels in this way. If you /msg chanserv access #ubuntu-es list, and message someone listed there it will be a lot quicker to find out.
[13:59] <PriceChild> Vorbote, even better, if you remember who banned you, you should message them.
[14:00] <no0tic> Vorbote, try on #ubuntu-es-ops
[14:01] <no0tic> we have a problem with the hosting of our loco bot, ubot-it, its server is frequently down, could it be hosted elsewhere?
[14:01] <Pici> Would #ubuntu-irc be a good place to ask instead?
[14:01] <Vorbote> Is there an es-ops channel? First news.
[14:01] <no0tic> Vorbote, since two weeks or so
[14:01] <LjL> Pici: if there is no dedicated channel, yes, although i generally think a dedicated channel is preferable
[14:01] <Vorbote> Hmm.. Very recent I see. I'll explore that venue then. Thanks!
[14:03] <LjL> exploity night tonight
[14:05] <Seeker`> LjL: is that a prediction?
[14:05] <LjL> no, the past night
[14:05] <Pici> I was saying earlier that I had at least 10 ops calls in my hilight backlog.
[14:06] <LjL> Pici: well if you count each of the bots' call, i suppose
[14:07] <Pici> LjL: I'm not talking about just exploits.
[14:09] <ubotu> FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join)
[14:10] <PriceChild> that's a lot of join
[14:10] <Pici> eh?
[14:10] <Pici> I see nothing.
[14:11] <Pici> PriceChild: Did you actually see a mass join?
[14:11] <PriceChild> I wouldn't say "mass"... but about 20 join and no part
[14:11] <PriceChild> easy to see why the bots called it
[14:12] <Pici> odd.  I dont it.
[14:12] <LjL> [15:08:59] --> Gary has joined this channel (n=Gary@freenode/staff/colchester-lug.gary).
[14:12] <LjL> you know who to blame
[14:13] <PriceChild> Pici, http://pastebin.ca/899865
[14:13] <PriceChild> Seveas, ping
[14:13] <LjL> Pici: you're not seeing that?
[14:14] <ubotu> dgjones called the ops in #ubuntu ()
[14:16]  * LjL is checking the news but isn't seeing anything about mass escapes from a zoo
[14:17] <Pici> LjL: Eh, its a little floody, but not so much that it jumped out at me as being an attack.
[14:18] <LjL> Pici: well in fact it wasn't. was just wondering if you hadn't seen that from your server
[14:20] <LjL> Pici: but it was indeed 19 joins with no part, a statistically pretty notable occurrence
[14:20] <LjL> 20 actually
[14:20] <no0tic> LjL, gaussian tails
[14:21] <LjL> no0tic: ja but they've become more frequent somewhat lately
[14:21] <PriceChild> wow what a guestimate by me!!!
[14:21]  * PriceChild is the best
[14:21] <LjL> at least it looks that way to me
[14:22] <no0tic> LjL, are #ubuntu users increasing?
[14:22] <LjL> no0tic: don't have the stats handy, but yeah they've been over 1300 for some time. they're possibly slightly decreasing now though
=== Mez___ is now known as Mez
[15:22] <Pici> ethan961: Can we help you?
[15:22] <PriceChild> ethan961, bad command in -offtopic yesterday, I asked he wait for the banning op, sev.
[15:23] <Pici> Okay.
[15:24] <LjL> not godot?
[15:26] <jenda> LjL: about the same :)
[15:33] <ikonia> diago in #ubuntu - it's ineviatable, "looking for sex"
[15:35] <no0tic> ikonia, next time you forward a troll in -es, please tell me :)
[15:36] <ikonia> ughh ?
[15:36] <ikonia> no0tic: ahhh sorry
[15:36] <ikonia> thought his earlier troll was down to lack of english
[15:36] <ikonia> but looking at him now, he's just a pain
[15:36] <ikonia> no0tic: my apologies
[15:37] <no0tic> ikonia, :) no problem he focused on #ubuntu 
[15:38] <ikonia> no0tic: I suspect he's on his way back to you
[15:39] <no0tic> ikonia, he shows no interest in -es unfortunately
[15:39] <ikonia> can a #ubuntu guy just kick him please. he's getting annoying
[15:39] <ikonia> Pici: thank you 
[15:39] <Pici> *poof*
[15:40] <ikonia> Pici: you truley are the shop keeper from Mr Ben 
[15:40] <ikonia> (I think I've explained that gag to you before)
[15:40] <Pici> I am Mr. Ben too.
[15:40] <ikonia> yes, I remember now, 
[15:41] <ikonia> you said that last time
[15:41] <Pici> I probably did.
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Guys, I am feeling very unclean this am.. I themed up my ubuntu.. Vista login, Vista music, Vista window decorations, icons the whole bit, then added cairo-doc.. 
[15:56] <Mez> Pici, you're not Mr Ben... that would be mrben
[15:58] <ompaul> ethan961, can we help you?
[15:58] <Pici> ompaul: Aparrently awaiting Seveas's return to work out a ban.
[15:59] <ompaul> Pici, ack
[15:59] <Pici> ompaul: Or thats at least what Price.child told me when I asked ethan if he needed any help

[18:22] <Pici> 13:22:22 <FloodBot1> Hammer89 tried to join #ubuntu from a web gateway, but their host is banned
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> It was tested a few ways when the exception was added...
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> I thought Ljl was able to ban a specific user from there
[18:28] <ompaul> Seveas, na I was interested in why the user in question was here, but the man from the factoid factory was already on the case ;-) so we sat back to hear your words
[18:28] <Pici> The person in question wasn't around anyways.
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Does anyone think we could use a factoid for resetting the desktop.. like http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Cool we just had a good sized earthquake
[18:32] <Seveas> milkshake!
[18:32] <Tm_T> :/
[18:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Mooooooo :)
[18:51] <Jack_Sparrow> That was a good sized earthquake.. 5.1 just across the border
[18:52] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Whereabouts are you?
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> san diego ca
[18:52] <Pici> Ah.
[18:54] <PriceChild> Pici, if they are banned in #ubuntu by their "real" hostname, (what appears in the real name of mibbit) the floodbots won't grant access to #ubuntu
[18:56] <masterloki> hey
[18:56] <masterloki> can you try the dcc exploit thing on this user plz
[18:57] <masterloki> im in gutsy and i noticed that the default for freenode does NOT have the 8001
[18:57] <PriceChild> masterloki, for freenode, or for "Ubuntu Servers"?
[18:57] <masterloki> Ubuntu Servers
[18:57] <masterloki> also ive flashed the router so its not linksys firmware anymore
[18:57] <masterloki> hm
[18:58] <masterloki> well thats kewl
[18:58] <Pici> masterloki: Did you follow the instructions in #ubuntu-read-topic ?
[18:58] <masterloki> * Connecting to chat.freenode.net (140.211.166.3) port 6667...
[18:58] <masterloki> Pici, no im not banned lol
[18:58] <Pici> o.
[18:58] <masterloki> i just wanted to test
[18:58] <masterloki> fyi
[18:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici: I just dcc'd him
[18:58] <masterloki> include in the wiki/instructions a line noting the ddwrt firmware for the linksys wireless routers is invulnerable
[18:59] <masterloki> Jack_Sparrow, yeah thats why i was like 'hmm thats kewl' :P
[18:59] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[18:59] <masterloki> lol
[18:59] <masterloki> let me log in router i'
[18:59] <masterloki> ll tell u firmware version
[18:59] <masterloki> have ddwrt 5.1
[18:59] <PriceChild> is this needed?
[19:00] <masterloki> well
[19:00] <masterloki> it IS another solution to the same problem
[19:00] <masterloki> deserves an honerable mention
[19:00] <masterloki> Firmware: DD-WRT v24 RC-5 (11/22/07) micro
[19:01] <masterloki> ok im out thanx
[19:01] <PriceChild> that solution is mentioned though? "get up to date firmware"
[19:01] <masterloki> no
[19:01] <masterloki> up to date firmware is implying linksys firmware
[19:01] <PriceChild> We are not going to advise switching to dd-wrt from standard.
[19:01] <masterloki> not saying you should advise it
[19:02] <PriceChild> I'm sure that kind of thing voids warranties etc.
[19:02] <masterloki> just mention it works
[19:02] <Pici> Most people aren't going to switch to ddwrt just to get past this vulnerability.  I don't think it really needs mentioning.
[19:02] <masterloki> Pici, actually its worth thinking about
[19:03] <PriceChild> Hmmm true... just checking the source for xchat and it doesn't use 8001 by default.
[19:03] <masterloki> since other networks have the same thing
[19:03] <PriceChild> !bug | masterloki 
[19:03] <ubotu> masterloki: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots
[19:03] <masterloki> and not all have the 8001 open
[19:03] <masterloki> arg
[19:03] <masterloki> fine i'
[19:03] <masterloki> ll file in a bit
[19:03] <masterloki> anyway i'll roll on out :P
[19:03] <PriceChild> Thankyou, pm me the number if you do. *runs off to lunch*
[19:03] <masterloki> tata~~
[19:03] <masterloki> ok
[19:36] <Pici> Seveas: I think we banned srv the other day due to something similar... /me checks the tracker
[20:00] <ubotu> Bassetts called the ops in #ubuntu-uk ()
[20:06] <ompaul> PriceChild, ddwrt hmm /me likes it - it actually runs better than the cisco stuff :)
[20:06] <ompaul> but anyway
[20:06] <nalioth> dd-wrt, eh?
[20:06] <ompaul> eh
[20:06] <ompaul> nalioth, since when are you canadian/
[20:07] <Pici> eh?
[20:07] <ompaul> or was that ever sentence starts with one - can't remember :)
[20:08] <ompaul> Pici, we should have a blame peru song 
[20:12] <nalioth> ompaul: eh?
[20:13] <ompaul> the is a meme that says all canadian sentences contain an "eh"
[20:16] <nalioth> not just canadians
[20:16]  * nalioth thought it was a minnesota and wisconsin thing
[20:16] <Pici> Thats 'dontcha know'
[20:17] <Seeker`> argh! hide!
[20:31] <Syntux> Hello, I need to talk to one of Ubuntu IRC operators 
[20:33] <LjL> continuing in -irc
[20:35] <Syntux> sure.
[20:39] <PriceChild> ompaul, yeah I'm not saying its not good... just pointing out it probably voids warranties so its not something we should promote
[20:40] <ompaul> PriceChild, ack
[20:40] <ompaul> PriceChild, your logic stands up on its own ;-)
[21:14] <ubotu> In #ubuntu-irc, jpatrick said:  !msg is <alias>msgthebot
[21:14] <jpatrick> arg
[21:17] <ubotu> jpatrick called the ops in #ubuntu (zergrush)
[21:17] <ubotu> dgjones called the ops in #ubuntu ()
[21:18] <seanw> PriceChild, no.
[21:18]  * jpatrick stands by in #k
[21:18] <seanw> jpatrick, #k?
[21:18] <jpatrick> seanw: #kubuntu
[21:18] <seanw> Aha
[21:20] <jpatrick> zergrush [n=Server20@76.224.243.228
[21:20] <jpatrick> that was the guy from yesterday
[21:24] <jpatrick> and I believe stdin banned *!Server20@* in #k yesterday
[21:26] <nalioth> jpatrick: klined today
[21:26] <jpatrick> nalioth: good to hear
[21:26] <stdin> my ban waas *!*@ip68-111-160-167.sd.sd.cox.net I believe
[21:27] <jpatrick> stdin: later you did it
[21:29] <stdin> ah, it was elkbuntu who set *!Server20@*, which needs changing as it won't match anything
[21:29] <LjL> @lart elkbuntu
[21:30] <stdin> it's set as *!Server20@* in #u still, as I can't change it there, someone else should (hint ;)
[21:30] <jpatrick> PriceChild: ^
[22:36] <jpatrick> no0tic: ping
[23:08] <no0tic> jpatrick, pong
[23:09] <jpatrick> no0tic: too late
[23:09] <no0tic> jpatrick, :(
[23:09] <jpatrick> no0tic: just some .it guy in -motu going off topic wanted to check it with you :)
[23:09] <no0tic> jpatrick, only 30 minutes of lag
[23:09] <no0tic> jpatrick, who? :)
[23:10] <m0nk_> hey guys
[23:10] <m0nk_> you know why im here
[23:12] <m0nk_> think today is my lucky day, think my ban could get lifted?
[23:23] <Jack_Sparrow> was it ljl or ompaul that set it?
[23:24] <LjL> me
[23:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Didnt remember.
[23:25] <m0nk_> Jack_Sparrow: it was LjL
[23:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Yea, Got it
[23:26] <Jack_Sparrow> What you did was so totally wrong... on so many levels...
[23:26] <LjL> m0nk_, we've talked already but i want to make doubly sure
[23:26] <m0nk_> i know
[23:26] <LjL> m0nk_: you've read the guidelines carefully, and also !etiquette, haven't you?
[23:27] <m0nk_> yes i know the guidelines, but i have not seen !etiquette
[23:27] <Jack_Sparrow> You have to know none of us will even hesitate to pull the trigger if you try anything like that again
[23:27] <m0nk_> Jack_Sparrow: lol i know that now, im usually always in offtopic..but man did i pay for that
[23:27] <Seveas> I'll pull a dozen triggers
[23:27] <Seveas> (aka /cs lart)
[23:27] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[23:28] <LjL> m0nk_, that is not paying, really
[23:28] <Seveas> LjL, you got of really, really cheap
[23:28] <m0nk_> Seveas: i understand that
[23:28] <Seveas> consider yourself lucky
[23:28] <m0nk_> only IRC channel i use is offtopic htough
[23:28] <m0nk_> so i was kind of without that for a while 
[23:28] <LjL> m0nk_: don't want to sound harsh, but being banned for - what, a week? - is what may happen the first time you do something like that, and we decide you've pretty much understood it wasn't a reasonable thing to do
[23:28] <Seveas> there's no turkey like a cold turkey m0nk_ 
[23:28] <LjL> m0nk_: next time it well be a power of a week
[23:29] <m0nk_> i understand
[23:29] <LjL> m0nk_: just want you to understand that. do check !etiquette
[23:29] <m0nk_> LjL: ok
[23:32] <m0nk_> LjL: i have read what ubotu had to say...
[23:32] <m0nk_> and i understand the coc i have seen it many times
[23:32] <LjL> m0nk_: and i have lifted the ban
[23:32] <m0nk_> thank you LjL, and dont worry i will behave 
[23:33] <LjL> have fun
[23:33] <m0nk_> same to you man
