LjLat this stage, Brainstorm is moving to irc.libera.chat05:44
LjLgo there if you want to get the news05:45
ryoumait cannot run on both/05:47
ryouma?05:47
ryoumadon't want to try to figure out getting an email address (difficult for me), register, ask for cloak, set up sw05:48
LjLryouma, eventually this is moving, can't do it now because of the Matrix link, but this network is basically moving05:50
LjLrunning Brainstorm on both would pose some issues05:50
LjLcan't you register with the same email you used here? (but a different password of course)05:51
ryoumait was a throwaway and i have not found any throwaway that works and i have a lot of difficulty with such things as registering and so on05:51
LjLi'm sorry. i had a lot of difficulty today as well with this move, and i did some bad screwups05:52
LjLbut this is happening05:52

ketasLjL: there is biontech shot reserved for me at 26th may, my mother gets second shot some time soon07:00
ketas:)07:00
LjLketas, nice, i can book mine starting 27 may. also, look at the channel topic07:02
ketasanything important there?07:03
LjLketas, basically this channel, as many others, is moving07:03
LjLfor now i cannot just move it outright, partly because of the Matrix bridge07:03
LjLbut most freenode staff are now libera.chat staff instead, and freenode is taken over by this individual who somehow has legal rights on it, but had nothing to do with it before practically07:04
ketasmeh i just can't be arsed to make another server entry in irssi07:04
LjLBrainstorm is already moved there07:04
ketasi have dozens of them :/07:04
LjLwell ideally THIS server entry will go away07:04
LjLyou will see if you join a few channels07:04
ketaswe'll see07:04
LjLbut of course, there is the risk that many people, by inertia, will just stay here07:04
LjLi can only say that's going to be a bad choice07:05
LjLthis new owner is shady07:05
ketasit's not like i will quit on my own :P07:05
LjLhttps://gist.github.com/joepie91/df80d8d36cd9d1bde46ba018af49740907:05
ketasit07:06
ketasit's not like it hasn't been going on for years now07:06
LjLalso see https://twitter.com/freenodestaff/ and https://twitter.com/liberachat/07:06
LjLuh, it hasn't been going on for years07:06
LjLall staff resigned *today*07:06
ketasall the fuckery around freenode and what it used to be before this07:06
LjLexcept for tomaw who is likely being held at gunpoint by lawyers07:06
LjLanyway i need to sleep07:07
ketasthis was just last straw i guess07:07
LjLspent all days making sure channels can be migrated07:07
LjLit's not the law straw07:07
LjLanyway i need to sleep07:07
LjLdo what you want, the channel will probably move as soon as Matrix has a bridge with Libera though07:07
ryoumaithe twitter links say Something went wrong. Try reloading and Caution: This account is temporarily restricted You’re seeing this warning because there has been some unusual activity from this account. Do you still want to view it? and there are no buttons to virew.  no information on either.07:12
ketashah07:13
ryoumawhat does "(A special note for marginalized communities: I won't go into the details further in this gist, but I personally believe that Freenode will not be a safe place for you going forward.)" refer to07:14
ketasunsure, they patch ircds in weird way or log all traffic?07:14
ketashas happened before in networks07:14
ketas:P07:14
ryoumaidgi.  i mean why would somebody do suych a takeover as described in th3e gitst.  who cares about some chat thing for a bunch of nerds.07:25
ketasbut i don't really care about in which of my 25 irc servers or 300+ channels i talk in... nor do i expect people keeping much secrets in channels or queries... what are other dangers, getting sued for ircing?07:26
ketasryouma: i don't know either07:26
ryoumaif there are logs of pms and if that is a privacy risk then why not delete all of them?07:26
ketaswhere?07:27
ketasi mean that was theory07:27
ryoumaidk i was just speculating07:27
ryoumaidk the theory07:27
ketasyou could also make ircnet commercial and impose weird rules, that just drives everyone anywa and you have no ircnet anymore07:27
ryoumasound business plan07:28
ketasi love how every channel is filled with freenode-related offtopic07:28
ryoumaeverybody resigning is obviously a red flag for something but idgi07:29
ryoumaobviously->likely07:29
ryouma#gnu is completely silent07:31
xrogaanif you admin stuff, the owner of the irc server can impersonate you on the network. Or simply take away ownership of your channels.07:35
xrogaanIf you use the same password elsewhere, then same thing.07:35
xrogaanPrevious staff simply said: we're leaving, the people who will manage the network are unknown to us and to you.07:36
