There is no login or security check

Registration is required for #fedora tho.

IRC comes from an era where internet wasn't a widely used technology but it was very unstable and slow, so the important thing was that it would stand cuts and low rates.

Yeah, but you register your nick or is it something else? I never used it.

You register using your email ID

With your nick

To be honest, its one of the great points for irc, anyone can simply use it.

I know. But you see what's the issue when this is bridged to a Telegram group...?

my irc account is registered and is vouched...

Tbh I have never used irc. But if troll finds its way through irc then it's a problem. Should we tweak the bot(telegram irc bridge) so we can ban some people from here on telegram so that their messages won't ever be shown on this telegram chat again?

You register using your email ID

Ah, okay. That is a bit more complicated than just nicj

my irc account is registered and is vouched...

Vouched?

Do you pay for it?

no, dunno the right word... it shows up as netbsd/developer/mbalmer on freenode.

We're working on finding a solution.

on the console it says: netbsd/developer/mbalmer is now your hidden host (set by services.)

NickServ was implemented rather early in IRC lifetime.

<spamacc3> This is what I was talking about @HellBanger and @mbalmer

<spamacc3> I created this account in within 10 seconds max

NickServ was implemented rather early in IRC lifetime.

That's what I said

oh, I see....

that can easily be automated for spamming....

And let's say you ban this nick

Tweak that bot to let it search for spam patterns.

TBH @HellBanger I don't really use IRC. I don't like it. But I contribute to Fedora and meetings are held there, so I have to login once in a while to attend the meetings.

<newuser> I make this, if you ban the old one. Simple :)

And let's say you ban this nick

It can come back using the bridge

It already happened actually

Exactly.

<orthis> or this

TBH @HellBanger I don't really use IRC. I don't like it. But I contribute to Fedora and meetings are held there, so I have to login once in a while to attend the meetings.

Hmm. I got your point.

Yeah, that's the thing. It's too easy.

It already happened actually

When? ?

Well, it wasn't a ban, we just put a user on mute. He can read but not participate.

Well, in theory. Because he came back through the bridge

seriously though, the possibility of abuse of irc gateway was known for some time, and it's there for convenience of all of us, it will be abused disabling it is literally two clicks so

Well, it was known to you. It wasn't to me!

Well, it was known to you. It wasn't to me!

Same.

Well, it was known to you. It wasn't to me!

Same here.

<HellBanger> TIL you could also impersonate someone who is not on IRC but exists in the group. Sorry @HellBanger to use your username :P

<HellBanger> But no one would've known it wasn't use

<HellBanger> you*

<HellBanger> TIL you could also impersonate someone who is not on IRC but exists in the group. Sorry @HellBanger to use your username :P

Ah, you're right. I didn't think about that but yeah. If the nick is not in use anyone can take it

<Kohane> Precisely

Jesus....

Now it's me there...

<rm_rfasterisk> Good thing I have my username registered :P

In midst of telling everyone how spammy it could get, I spammed it the most

Lmao

Yeah... but as I said, I only use IRC for Fedora meetings, so my user is usually idle. Anyone can take it.

In midst of telling everyone how spammy it could get, I spammed it the most

Well... you made it clear for sure ?

Meanwhile i spammed here as well using stickers ?

/ban

XD

I dnt what what it means

<spamacc3> I created this account in within 10 seconds max

But people dont realize that there is ip/hostname bans as well on irc?

But people dont realize that there is ip/hostname bans as well on irc?

Isn't that only applicable for static IPs?

Who the hell made these memes?? ??

Hostname bans are good

But still not very good

:P

once again - the bridge here is for convenience of all of us, if it will be abused then it will be disabled and the problem will be gone in a few clicks, we all know the possible problems with IRC and if people won't respect that - there will be no bridge and no problem

ERROR: S client not available

Exactly

And how that helps? Go offline and online and you get a new IP. Usually they're dynamic.

I agree. But one simple script could literally send hundreds of messages by the time the bridge is closed

Unless someone has an infinite number of vpns you can end a nameswitchers career real;y There are also network bans.

You will usually be in a small pool from your provider.

Someone from Spain I think. At least the IRC meme shows that.

Telegram provides an easy way to delete all messages from one sender, so still, another two clicks ;)

Enough to get spammed/trolled.

Ah, my bad. I completely forgot about that.

Yeah, but for Telegram the user is the bridge. When I see a message coming from someone using the bridge, it doesn't say "user" it says "Fedora bridge".

the disabling of a bridge would be an another sad situation where, because of one or two people we can't have a nice thing

Or am I wrong?

Yeah, I agree

Yeah, but for Telegram the user is the bridge. When I see a message coming from someone using the bridge, it doesn't say "user" it says "Fedora bridge".

true, so all messages from the bridge would be deleted, they are a minority anyway

What about adding filter in the bridge?

That would require writing a not I guess

Good morning Mark. We were talking about spam/trolls through IRC.

Life threatening security breaches /runs

Sssh! Some people are really devoted to IRC and they'd try to bury you :P

Life threatening security breaches /runs

Haha

I think the better way would be to make the irc channel available to registered nicks only, and then ban the irc users directly in chanserv (I think it was possible)

Good morning Mark. We were talking about spam/trolls through IRC.

That is so annoying

This, sir, is so ??

Just installed a Fedora Workstation 28 on a 2009-ish Pentium E dual core. Worked fine. Just needed a GPU upgrade. The cpu wasnt powerful enough to render videos from YouTube.

Does anyone know why is this happening? It started after a couple of days of me installing bumblebee

This, sir, is so ??

my favourite book is the HOLY BIBLE ? I have completely read it in my native language, and now I'm reading it in english. in english I really like AMPlified version
