[08:47:49] -!- aristarchus [aristarchus!~aristarch@149.34.ugt.rjw] has joined #soylent
[08:57:10] <aristarchus> I smell desperation.
[09:15:01] -!- aristarchus has quit [Quit: Client closed]
[09:22:58] <chromas> he can smell himself yet refuses to shower
[09:27:46] <janrinok> he came on to the site, posted 4 or 5 spam comments as 'Anonymous' then immediately logs on here as aristarchus. He has followed the same routine for quite some time now. And he wonders how we know it is him.
[09:34:42] <fab23> janrinok: now that person may know it :)
[09:36:09] <janrinok> he already does. He seems not too bright.
[09:36:31] <fab23> maybe its an AI bot :)
[09:36:56] <janrinok> it is missing the 'I' bit so I doubt it.
[09:38:00] <janrinok> but if it means that he stops logging in on here then I see that as a win too
[09:40:48] -!- aristarchus [aristarchus!~aristarch@149.34.ugt.rjw] has joined #soylent
[09:41:01] <janrinok> oh, he's back
[09:41:22] <fab23> janrinok: the A bot :)
[09:41:26] <aristarchus> Glad you know who I am, you despicable tyrant! Did you log my IP? Taste my DNA?
[09:41:44] * fab23 logs everything he sees in IRC.
[09:41:47] <aristarchus> Delete my posts on IRC, you cretin.
[09:41:59] <fab23> ok, not me, but my IRC client does :)
[09:42:07] <aristarchus> Delete everything! I dare you.
[09:43:24] <janrinok> The logs of this channel and some others are all saved and available for public perusal, as per the heading
[09:44:06] <aristarchus> Why do you expose yourself so openly, tyrant jan?
[09:44:30] <fab23> aristarchus: every client participating on an IRC channel is able to log, and most probably do. Else I could take screenshots every few minutes. :)
[09:45:22] <janrinok> but for his spam, one click and it is recorded and then gone.
[09:45:26] <aristarchus> You think that I am as stupid as the idiot janrinok thinks I am? That makes you stupid, too.
[09:46:33] <aristarchus> Spam, as you call it, or what others call posts of truth, are not recorded, else they could not be reposted. You seem once again to have a very limited understanding of the software.
[09:47:51] * fab23 will not delete anything.
[09:48:24] <janrinok> not on here. I don't control here. We keep everything 100%
[09:49:23] <aristarchus> Some things over 1000%, evidently.
[09:51:27] <aristarchus> Actually, I am not the real Dread Pirate aristarchus. The original aristarchus has been retired and living quite well in Patagonia. The place, not the outdoor apparel line.
[09:52:02] <fab23> who are you?
[09:52:24] <janrinok> who are you asking?
[09:52:39] <fab23> the fake aristarchus :)
[09:52:40] <chromas> probably the guy who says he's not himself
[09:53:22] <janrinok> most times now he doesn't even try to hide who he is - it doesn't fool anybody anyway.
[09:55:16] <aristarchus> janrinok has lost the thread long ago. He is not sure what day it is. Can't tell a real aristarchus from the fakes. These things happen, as you start to loose contact with reality. Singed: the not real aristarchus.
[10:00:23] <fab23> aristarchus: protect your nickname with user authentication, then it will not be abused
[10:00:58] <aristarchus> What makes you think I have not, Fabian?
[10:02:41] <fab23> aristarchus: because you mention that you are not you :)
[10:04:33] <aristarchus> Runaway stole the nickname one, and impersonated the aristarchus. Rather easy to detect. So now it is registered, secured, and only one natural person in the Universe can use it. Right, janrinok?
[10:06:49] <aristarchus> s/one/once
[10:10:03] <fab23> as long as the password is not an complicated one like '123456' :)
[10:11:48] <aristarchus> janrinok is not a leader. He is an insurrectionist. He has commandeered the soylentil community, and gone his own way. There will be no transfer of ownership of the site. It will just be closed. Endgame, check, and mate.
[10:11:52] <janrinok> The spam detection is getting good enough now to automate it. Even less for me to do :)
[10:12:47] <aristarchus> Bayesian algorithms, eh? Error rate down to as good as janrinok? You realize your baseline is very problematic.
[10:14:31] <aristarchus> And the more you falsely accuse, spam-mod, or delete, the fewer members will SN have. But I guess we will always have khallow, and Runaway. They have no where else to do. I hear Gab banned Runaway1956. Something about his being an "asshole".
[10:14:32] <fab23> aristarchus: so all the effort to get somebody to re-new and replace the SSL certificate was for nothing?
[10:15:06] <aristarchus> Not the first time this has happened. Basic incompetence because of a hostile environment.
[10:15:57] <fab23> aristarchus: so do it right then and organize people to help you continue with the site.
[10:17:23] <aristarchus> Hard to do, when certain editors delete comments to control the discourse, ban ACs from posting, and protect psychopathic killers on the site. Better to just shut it down.
[10:19:59] <aristarchus> So, fab, it is up to you? Organize! Overthrow the oppressors, and #FreeSoylentNews!!1!!
[10:20:01] <fab23> aristarchus: you can always send email to the current owners, have been mention in public in the past.
[10:20:14] -!- aristarchus has quit [Quit: Client closed]
[10:20:25] <chromas> insurrectionist? janrinok, you didn't tell me you went on a guided tour! what did you learn? you didn't put your feet up on pelosi's desk did you?
[10:20:59] <fab23> nothing beats a funny morning in IRC :)
[10:22:37] <janrinok> lol - I have got him on 'ignore', But no, I have not been in the USA for over 20 years now.
[10:30:59] <chromas> classic insurrectionist
[10:31:16] <janrinok> lol
[10:39:12] <drussell> I don't understand why you guys feed the troll by engaging with that schmuck at all... :) (Funny though it may be, at times...) The more you acknowledge him with and sort of engagement, the more he will continue to spew his nonsense to get a response.
[10:39:25] <drussell> any
[10:40:30] <janrinok> I've got him on ignore - I only see that he is logging in and logging out.
[10:48:32] <fab23> drussell: I have no idea why I could not resist today, hopefuly it was a one time occurance.
[10:49:40] <janrinok> I still don't know what he said :) but I am happy with that state of affairs.
[10:50:41] <chromas> he just said "may the schwartz be with you"
[10:50:49] <drussell> I don't either, I only actually see him in the logs. :)
[10:51:12] <drussell> ... but I can see the responses of others, so I know he's saying something.
[11:00:02] <janrinok> ditto
[11:10:49] <fab23> I have stopped using the /ignore command decades ago because of that you just see responses of other to thing I would not see. If needed I just use /bioignore (doing it with my brain) and just don't response to them but still see the full context.
[11:25:21] <janrinok> yeah, but it is tempting....
[11:28:51] <fab23> janrinok: it is just a matter of discipline :)
[11:42:48] <janrinok> fab23 - see PM
[20:12:05] <progo> fab23: in a chat room on another network, there was a crazy person who I wanted to ignore, but people kept replying to him. I got my friend to write a ZNC plugin that recolors every line from a nick on a list. That worked great.
[20:12:05] <progo> I'm not sure I still have the code around anywhere, and it was not production/sharing quality. But I recommend the general approach of re-coloring IRC lines from twits and/or lines matching a keyword bad-list
[20:13:03] <progo> (using a low-contrast foreground color, of course)
[20:16:33] <ted-ious> That sounds amazing!
[20:16:52] <ted-ious> Is that plugin part of znc now or available somewhere?
[20:17:38] <progo> ted-ious I'll take a look tonight and see if I can find it. the plugin I speak of was never published. but it's small enough that me re-sharing it isn't really a copyright concern.
[20:18:04] <progo> I was talking about the need and my friend said "I can do that!" and did some 2idiots1keyboard on her own for 4 hours
[20:18:09] <progo> came back with a working solution
[20:18:20] <ted-ious> Nice!
[20:19:19] <progo> https://www.youtube.com (explanation of "2 idiots 1 keyboard")
[20:19:42] <ted-ious> I guessed what it was. :)
[20:26:15] <ted-ious> Oh wow did I guess wrong. :)
[20:26:33] <ted-ious> I guess pair programming isn't exciting enough for hollywood.
[20:37:29] <drussell> Oh, my! Oh, wow... That was the dumbest shit ever!! (facepalm)
[20:37:56] <drussell> Good think I haven't watched "TV" in over 15 years...
[20:38:00] <drussell> thing
[20:38:50] <drussell> Some writer writes this tripe, then a director directs people to act out this bullshit?!
[20:38:53] <drussell> Wow
[20:39:19] <drussell> No wonder the average person is so stupid these days... :(

[21:15:52] <aristarchus> More censorship is the solution for SN. Ban more users. Stick it to the libs, and ban the lefties!
