[08:45:17] <janrinok> Another 17 years or so and we might have a database problem....
[08:49:45] <janrinok> Anyway, my French lesson is about to start so I will be watching but not responding to this channel.

[11:48:00] <janrinok> There have been no spam moderations since 1 Nov. I do wonder which site he is looking at sometimes.....
[11:48:37] <FatPhil> he prints them out, and sticks them on his wall, then connects them with map pins and pieces of string.
[11:49:24] <FatPhil> it's almost as if by all agreeing that he should be banned from the site, we're consipiring against him.
[11:50:24] <janrinok> He must have bought a LOT of string.....

[12:48:11] <linuxrocks123> I'm in Vietnam and can't connect to the SoylentNews website without using a VPN.
[12:51:57] <linuxrocks123> Do you geoblock Vietnam for some reason? If not, this is probably a mistake, or else maybe someone did something bad from this IP before it was assigned to me.
[12:55:12] <linuxrocks123> I can easily work around this, so it's not a problem for me, but I thought I'd report it just in case. I'll check from a different IP once I'm in a different location to see if it's blocked there, too.
[12:56:22] <linuxrocks123> If you are doing it on purpose, my opinion is it's not really appropriate to block entire countries. But you're the admins.
[12:58:53] <linuxrocks123> Of course, if you're not doing it, maybe Vietnam is blocking YOU. Although I really doubt SoylentNews is big enough or offensive enough to the Vietnamese government that that's in any way likely.
[12:59:36] -!- linuxrocks123 has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[13:00:17] <FatPhil> we're not blocking entire countries, and you're not linuxrocks123 unless you "easily work around this" and log in and send a message as linuxrocks in the next half hour.
[13:03:07] <FatPhil> ANd you're not in Vietnam, you're connecting from Charter Communications Inc
[13:03:41] <FatPhil> A datacentre in Texas, apparently.
[13:37:02] <janrinok> linuxrocks123, you have been with us for a long time and you last logged in in July of this year. There is no block on Vietnam nor is there any block on your account.
[13:37:47] <fab23> linuxrocks123 already left the channel 38 minutes ago
[13:38:20] <janrinok> I know - but he can 'easily get round' the problem and might return.
[13:40:17] * fab23 should really look into this channel history stuff supported with ircv3 :)
[13:41:50] <janrinok> In fact there are no IP blocks in place as far as I am aware. There are account blocks - but he is not covered by them. There server automatically places temporary blocks on IPs that are spamming the site but we have no visibility of those.

[19:24:31] <SoyCow2858> linuxrocks123 is correct. Entire countries are geo-blocked on SN. Turkey, for example, And China. Most non-english speaking placed. And entire IP subnets of VPNs. Soon, no one besides jan and Fat (and, of course, Runaway) will be able to access SN.
[19:26:37] <janrinok> Well somebody must be spamming the site from those IP address - we cannot geoblock with our software. Or they have found themselves on one of the blocklists that the server uses.
[19:28:35] <SoyCow2858> It is almost tautological, isn't it! If someone is locked up in the Gulag, they must have done something wrong! SN does not block IPs? Why does it send out notices to that effect? Do you even know how the site operates, jan?
[19:29:33] <janrinok> The server can block any IP that is causing the server problems, There is NO admin involvement. That is exactly the same as it was for slashdot.
[19:30:36] <janrinok> They are temporary blocks which are controlled entirely by the server. If the server is being repeatedly scanned for vulnerabilities then it will simply block those IP addresses.
[19:30:49] <SoyCow2858> Vietnam is causing a problem? Hurting the server's fee-fees?

[19:31:31] <janrinok> If someone is trying to defeat the server then that is exactly what is meant to happen. It isn't like your toy bot.
[19:31:53] <Runaway1956> I used to have a logical tauto, but someone stole it . . .
[19:33:19] <janrinok> There is nothing in the administrators controls that enables geoblocking. Only 2 people currently have access to the servers - and I am not one of them.
[19:35:30] <SoyCow2858> Runaway's illiteracy bites him in the ass, again. From anyone else, I'd think it was an attempted joke. But, Runaway.. .

[19:39:02] <SoyCow2858> Blaming your ethnicity for your lack of education is very lame. And possibly self-racist.
[19:45:29] <Runaway1956> Self loathing white people aren't usually Slovaks.
[19:45:51] <janrinok> can you 2 please take this to another channel

[19:46:09] <janrinok> can you 2 please take this to another channel
[19:46:27] <SoyCow2858> Unless they are too embarrassed to be a Polack, so they go with "Slovak".
[19:47:03] <SoyCow2858> There are no other channels! This is the only one not blocked, that has people in it!
[19:47:45] <janrinok> There are other channels - you appear to be too stupid to find them
[19:49:39] <SoyCow2858> Or, you have no idea what it is like to try to log in to SN from Vietnam!
[19:52:27] <Runaway1956> someone's sauerbraten has slipped out of it's bun
[19:55:42] <SoyCow2858> Truly, there is no reason to try to log into SN anymore. It only means to be insult by an idiot. And Janrinok.
[19:57:19] <Runaway1956> We were just talking about idiots in #deadgreeks
[19:57:42] <janrinok> get off this channel please
[20:00:15] <SoyCow2858> I forgot, jan does not know how to kick evil-doers off IRC! Oh, the irony!
