Lantizia | joerg, sorry just realised I was talking about this in #bzflag and I was already in here | 13:18 |
---|---|---|
Lantizia | do you already get requests to remove info from infobot.rikers.org (as you were speaking about privacy data considerations) | 13:19 |
joerg | sorry, I wouldn't know how to do that | 14:43 |
joerg | I received some half a dozen requests for bringing infobot to libera, but I also don't know how to do that | 14:44 |
joerg | note that I only have a "reset switch" for rikers.org infobot, and O once had some administrative access via IRC to the bot. Sonce I'm not in FN anymore and I don't know if the bot is in _any_ ORC network anymore, this administrative access is stale since beginning of Libera | 14:47 |
joerg | damn, s/o/i/ where due | 14:48 |
joerg | I offered to move the bot to my own server, a felt decade ago. I learned this is a nogo because of privacy data in the db | 14:50 |
joerg | I wouldn't do that anymore today | 14:50 |
joerg | ot's plain obvious that infobot couldn't simply join same channels by name since they may have changed in migration from FN to Libera, account names of chanops changed, my account name changed (re administrative access to bot) and policies on channels and on network may have changed | 14:54 |
Lantizia | you know tim is TimRiker and in #bzflag now? | 16:18 |
Lantizia | i mean if you were having difficulties emailing him | 16:18 |
Lantizia | i only know about infobot because whenever I search for info about that game... the infobot.rikers.org site pops up with old freenode-era chats | 16:19 |
joerg | Lantizia: I sent emails back when Libera migration happened. I don't see how to make infobot resurrect right now, after years of oblivion | 17:26 |
joerg | it *seems* the valuable infobot factoid database is gone forever | 17:29 |
joerg | https://infobot.rikers.org/%23infobot/20210522.html.gz | 17:35 |
Lantizia | presumably when you said you once offered to move the bot to your servers, you mean the logs too? | 17:54 |
Lantizia | I can imagine that'd be a privacy nightmare as you said... although by the looks of things they're in the US currently? | 17:55 |
Lantizia | in the EU (and other GDPR-compliant places like the UK) I can imagine there would be many take down notices | 17:55 |
joerg | you only know what privacy related data is in a database when you actually look into that database - or into all the damn code that interfaces to said database | 22:27 |
joerg | and that's not about GDPR or anything, this starts with email addr4esses already, for ~pager feature and bot admin auth | 22:29 |
