title: "Stay away from Anope IRC Services"
category: [english]
tags: [irc, english]
published: false
---
This post is my experiences with developers of Anope IRC Services and with
this kind of behaviour I encourage everyone to not use it in any network
where it can be avoided.
If you are Anope developer, keep in mind that **views of your project are
those that the most noisy member of your project has** and **your project
is your most noisy people.**
*All times are Europe/Helsinki which in these logs is UTC+2. I am also
following Finnish law [Secrecy of correspondence] which allows me to
publish private discussions that I am sender or receiver of. Same policy
is followed in [freenode-harassment].*

**I am also removing logs to pastebins as those are mostly expired.**
## Kban without reason
This log hasn't been cut before the kban to show that I said nothing on this
channel yet at this point.

[14:15:36] &lt;winterchillz&gt; btw, SaberUK, managed to do the redirect we spoke about earlier; Got the irc. domain to function, our ISP had the option to just add a redirect
[14:16:08] &lt;winterchillz&gt; just added the option for irc.our.domain to point to the server IP and it went live instantly, thanks for the help with that :)

[14:36:13] &lt;winterchillz&gt; yes, ctcp, that's correct
[14:36:43] &lt;winterchillz&gt; so I have to change that line to the name my services are using as a network?
[14:36:48] &lt;ctcp&gt; indeed
[14:37:57] &lt;winterchillz&gt; haha, oh, didn't think it'd be that easy
[14:38:06] * winterchillz bows down to ctcp
[14:38:56] &lt;ctcp&gt; developers of services package and ircd did all that winterchillz
[14:39:10] &lt;ctcp&gt; we are just using their work
[14:39:15] &lt;winterchillz&gt; true that, but you're the person who helped me in my case

After this I am unbanned, but it's irrevelant to this post as I said
nothing on the channel this time.
### \#inspircd & Brainwashed Atheme users
As many InspIRCd users are also using Anope this seemed like a good place to
ask...
<pre class="irclog">
[17:59:55] &lt;Mikaela&gt; does anyone have any idea why I was banned from #anope at teranova?
[18:01:50] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Adam: are you the same Adam as at teranova and could comment ^^?
[18:01:56] &lt;AnneGwenn&gt; Mikaela: last logs?
[18:02:08] &lt;Mikaela&gt; moment
[18:02:17] &lt;Adam&gt; I dont care for brainwashed atheme users
[18:02:32] &lt;Mikaela&gt; so that means no reason at all?
[18:03:26] &lt;Adam&gt; if thats what you want it mena, either way its not a conversation for here
[18:05:46] &lt;Mikaela&gt; AnneGwenn: &lt;EXPIRED PASTE&gt;
[18:07:19] &lt;Adam&gt; er, it to mean*
[18:07:40] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't think I even talked on that channel

### The following query
* This was actually a good discussion and I thought that maybe Anope and
its developers are actually OK, but as we later see this was incorrect
assumption.
* It's also learned that my Anope help issue was caused by WeeChat's OTR.py
script attempting to use OTR with HostServ. This has been fixed in it
though and now it won't attempt to send messages to any known network
services meaning `*Serv` ChanFix, Alis or anything beginning with `*`
(ZNC modules) by default.
<pre class="irclog">
[18:52:02] &lt;Adam&gt; sorry about earlier I was just a little angered over some comments you said in #inspircd before joining, I shouldnt have just banned you like that, apologies
[18:52:30] &lt;Mikaela&gt; which comments exactly?
[18:52:47] &lt;Adam&gt; (04:08:36) &lt; Mikaela&gt; I think I still prefer to Atheme. At least it's understandable and doesn't tell you that you must group on page that doesn't have anything releated to groups and Atheme's HostServ is clear instead of saying "no
[18:52:51] &lt;Adam&gt; help available for ." The command also seem weird
[18:53:08] &lt;Adam&gt; with all due respect, you probably do not know *anything* about anope
[18:53:39] &lt;Adam&gt; especailly if you just pick up stuff from #atheme its usually always incorrect
[18:53:43] &lt;Adam&gt; anyway I unbanned you
[18:53:43] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I am used to using Atheme and joined to the network because of curiosity and wanting to learn Anope and I also asked the questions on your help channel
[18:54:01] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't think #atheme has ever talked about Anope with me being there
[18:54:51] &lt;Adam&gt; If you want to be helpful you should report bugs etc to #anope or -devel instead of making vague claims in #inspircd etc, that is not helpful and just makes us look bad, when theres a good chance you may be completely wrong
[18:55:43] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I always start by doing basic things like registration first and I have no idea on what are bugs with Anope and what just issues with your network.
[18:55:43] &lt;Adam&gt; I used to be there and I know they certainly did
[18:56:40] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I have probably missed that.
[18:57:27] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Do you know "rules of marketing" or whatever they were? They have point in "when person has bad experience with you, they will tell that to 15 people and when person has good experience with you, they will tell that to three people" or similar
[18:57:55] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I am referring to kban without any apparent reason as I didn't even talk on the channel
[18:58:03] &lt;Adam&gt; Im not sure if those apply to idelogical zealots which is who I am accustomed to dealing with
[18:58:10] &lt;Adam&gt; whether or not you are one is left to be determined I suppose
[18:58:38] &lt;Adam&gt; and probably rests more on my behavior than anything else tbh so sorry!
[18:58:51] &lt;Adam&gt; (but, there were many of them prior to my existance)
[18:59:31] &lt;Mikaela&gt; if I was zealot, I guess I wouldn't bother connecting to network using Anope or if I did, I would do that with some other reason than curiosity and wanting to also learn it. I also didn't hear anything on the help channel on how do I group nicks or set that local suffix into email address and what else did I ask
[18:59:38] &lt;Adam&gt; such as nenolod, his close friends, although they don't come around much anymore.
[18:59:44] &lt;Adam&gt; and sure you would connect
[18:59:59] &lt;Adam&gt; to troll etc
[19:00:19] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't think I have ever trolled on purpouse
[19:00:36] &lt;Adam&gt; even if you dont have bad intentions, like say grawity, he used to just give totally incorrect help to people in #anope
[19:00:51] &lt;Adam&gt; just because he doesnt use anope, but for some reason still feels like he can assist users, thats just silly
[19:00:53] &lt;Mikaela&gt; did you ever take a look on #help ?
[19:01:16] &lt;Adam&gt; oh, no, I dont ever watch that channel
[19:01:32] &lt;Adam&gt; I dont think anyone does lol
[19:01:49] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't mostly assist with services unless I am sure how to do that and I am only comfortable around Atheme if I am asked for help as that is what I have been using since 2010 as user and later some days as oper (until I got in fight with other opers)
[19:02:15] &lt;Mikaela&gt; it advertises being official help channel for your network so I naturally thought that I should ask my questions there
[19:02:38] &lt;Adam&gt; Id be interested in what you did to make hostserv give back "no help available for ." though
[19:02:46] &lt;Adam&gt; do you mean literally thator just "no help available for &lt;command&gt;"
[19:02:47] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I only ran /msg hostserv help
[19:02:53] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I mean that literally
[19:03:08] &lt;Mikaela&gt; 2015-02-15 19:02:59+0200 &lt; Mikaela&gt; help

[19:03:47] &lt;Mikaela&gt; oh, I think I know what that is, please let me test.
[19:03:49] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I am registered as Mikaela
[19:03:59] &lt;Adam&gt; works from Adam too but he is an oper
[19:04:48] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I thought it was OTR sending whitespace tag, but disabling that doesn't change anything, it still says the same thing
[19:05:08] &lt;Adam&gt; does your client have a debug mode to see what it is actually sending
[19:05:18] &lt;Mikaela&gt; oh, no, I failed with that command. It was OTR whitespace confusing it
[19:05:33] &lt;Adam&gt; Im not sure what OTR is
[19:05:40] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I set otr.py to always send that, because Atheme and Supybot or any other bot I interacted with doesn't care about it
[19:05:50] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Off-The-Record end-to-end encryption
[19:05:55] &lt;Adam&gt; what is it exactly that you are sending
[19:06:00] &lt;Mikaela&gt; https://otr.im/
[19:06:18] &lt;Mikaela&gt; what I am sending is "help", but the otr script for WeeChat added whitespace to the end to advertise my capability for OTR
[19:06:21] &lt;Mikaela&gt; ?OTRv2? I would like to start an Off-the-Record private conversation. However, you do not have a plugin to support that. See https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ for more information.
[19:06:38] &lt;Adam&gt; what kind of whitespace
[19:06:46] &lt;Adam&gt; just like spaces? tabs?
[19:06:50] &lt;Adam&gt; other whitespace?
[19:06:57] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I am not fully sure, but the code is at https://github.com/mmb/weechat-otr
[19:07:09] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I think it should be normal spaces or tabs, but I am not developer
[19:07:30] &lt;Adam&gt; hm
[19:07:53] &lt;Adam&gt; well if you find out (dump your clients i/o maybe?) and file a bug I can look at fixing it if its not too big
[19:08:18] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I have no idea how I would be doing that and all messages that I send to you shoul also have the same tag or at least the first one which starts query
[19:09:06] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I think I am currently just disabling that whitespace for Anope. It's weird that only HostServ has issues as NickServ and ChanServ worked without any issues at all
[19:09:10] &lt;Adam&gt; pm Adam_ something ill see what it is
[19:09:22] &lt;Adam&gt; they use the same parser code so, that is weird
[19:10:22] &lt;Mikaela&gt; and if you now looked into help channel, could you offer me some kind of idea on how would I go grouping my altnick or setting my email address to mikaela+teranova@mikaela.info?
[19:11:05] &lt;Mikaela&gt; with Atheme where I am used to that was just /nick altnick /ns group, but Anope wants username and password of the target and then says that I must go to some website which says nothing about grouping to me
[19:11:47] &lt;Adam&gt; it appears to append 25 character 9 (decimal)
[19:12:36] &lt;Adam&gt; I get the same from all services with it
[19:12:44] &lt;Adam&gt; [12:12:28] &lt;Adam_&gt; help

[19:13:13] &lt;Mikaela&gt; weird, I am sure that I have WeeChat sending that to everyone by default and NickServ and ChanServ answered without issues
[19:13:34] &lt;Adam&gt; you must have an exception somewhere for ns and cs

[19:13:56] &lt;Adam&gt; I saw this
[19:14:17] &lt;Mikaela&gt; which was the last thing you saw before that OTR started?
[19:14:41] &lt;Adam&gt; http://pastebin.com/mnVdSJnR
[19:15:45] &lt;Mikaela&gt; 2015-02-15 19:13:13+0200 &lt; Mikaela&gt; weird, I am sure that I have WeeChat sending that to everyone by default and NickServ and ChanServ answered without issues
[19:15:46] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I think this is the only line
[19:16:06] &lt;Mikaela&gt; and you pasting that tag probably made WeeChat believe that you support OTR as I attempted to /otr start earlier
[19:16:11] &lt;Adam&gt; well, you must not be sending to nickserv and chanserv, because they cant parse it
[19:16:14] &lt;Adam&gt; oh
[19:16:21] &lt;Adam&gt; close/reopen the query perhaps
[19:17:18] &lt;Mikaela&gt; done
[19:17:20] &lt;Mikaela&gt; and the only expection I can see in /iset send_tag is HostServ on network te
[19:17:59] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I usually abbreviate network names to two letters in WeeChat to not have them take so much space in channel list
[19:18:08] &lt;Adam&gt; thats worse now, i see visable junk at the end of all of your messages
[19:18:42] &lt;Mikaela&gt; weird, it should be invisible
[19:18:49] &lt;Adam&gt; it was before
[19:18:59] &lt;Adam&gt; maybe its using a different key with different characters
[19:19:07] &lt;Adam&gt; because im seeing a bunch of I's which is how irssi shows tabs
[19:19:27] &lt;Mikaela&gt; irssi has OTR support in git, but I am not sure if it was merged yet
[19:19:54] &lt;Adam&gt; im not interested in it, only making it so services can deal with it if someone uses it I suppose
[19:20:21] &lt;Adam&gt; send another message to adam_
[19:20:33] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I have no idea what atheme or supybot are doing to handle it without issues
[19:21:35] &lt;Adam&gt; hm still only seeing character 9's there
[19:21:54] &lt;Adam&gt; it must be different per user per session
[19:22:03] &lt;Mikaela&gt; oh, I might have one idea
[19:22:27] &lt;Mikaela&gt; the script generates new key for every nick@network that I use and teranova doesn't have keys yet, I will cp them
[19:25:43] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I am on umode +R by the way, so I am not receiving anything from adam_
[19:25:52] &lt;Mikaela&gt; if you even sent anything
[19:25:54] &lt;Adam&gt; im not sending anything
[19:26:41] &lt;Adam&gt; anyway ns/cs definitely don't parse this I can manually append it to my messages and I get the same error you got
[19:27:27] &lt;Adam&gt; as far as + in emails, services does allow it except we have login.anope.org instead which has its own validation
[19:27:32] &lt;Adam&gt; which probably uses some php thing I dont know
[19:27:39] &lt;Adam&gt; its our code, custom
[19:28:03] &lt;Mikaela&gt; when I query NickServ and say "help" it works. Maybe that script has some kind of hardcoding to avoid NickServ
[19:28:10] &lt;Adam&gt; that could be
[19:28:57] &lt;Adam&gt; what services actually sends you back is
[19:29:03] &lt;Adam&gt; "no help available for \2\9\2"
[19:29:33] &lt;Mikaela&gt; yes, that script has hardcoding, but is missing some services. I think I understand the script enough to send pull request fixing that
[19:29:52] &lt;Mikaela&gt; https://github.com/mmb/weechat-otr/blob/master/weechat_otr.py#L974-979
[19:32:31] &lt;Adam&gt; also we have grouping on here disabled
[19:32:53] &lt;Adam&gt; because of our login.anope.org account system
[19:33:06] &lt;Mikaela&gt; that answers the question.
[19:33:08] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I hope SASL still identifies me as Mikaela even if I connect as Michaela?
[19:33:09] &lt;Adam&gt; you dont need to group though you can just /ns id Mikaela password
[19:33:14] &lt;Adam&gt; yes
[19:33:18] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I see
[19:33:37] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Atheme does the same, but OFTC and their weird services logout you as you change to nick that doesn't have your SSL certificate
[19:33:48] &lt;Adam&gt; it is because you own the account Mikaela in ldap, you cannot /nick notmikaela and then /ns group to mikaela, because what if someone owns notmikaela in ldap?
[19:33:56] &lt;Adam&gt; or, what if noone does now, but does later?
[19:34:29] &lt;Adam&gt; maybe if you registered both in login.anope.org, but then they would be two totally independent accounts, so
[19:34:39] &lt;Mikaela&gt; shouldn't the ldap check that?
[19:35:06] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I think I am currently happy. Does Anope have better documentation like quickstart guide for users somewhere?
[19:35:12] &lt;Adam&gt; it could maybe but that would be a mess
[19:35:14] &lt;Adam&gt; I think
[19:35:25] &lt;Adam&gt; if you have someone else register in ldap the account you own a nick for that is grouped to Mikaela
[19:35:45] &lt;Adam&gt; they would /ns id yournick theirpassword and then you would have to be forcibly removed
[19:35:48] &lt;Adam&gt; lol
[19:35:49] &lt;Adam&gt; or something
[19:36:07] &lt;Adam&gt; the ldap schema has no concept of groups of nicks and then a display or anything, it just has accounts
[19:36:12] &lt;Adam&gt; whic his how we set it up
[19:36:50] &lt;Mikaela&gt; there was also some kind of avatar thing in login.anope.org. How does that work? Why it doesn't lookup my avatar from Gravatar or somewhere as my email was already given?
[19:36:57] &lt;Adam&gt; OFTC just simply doesnt have accounts, its not that uncommon, anope 1 behaved that way. it certainly doesnt make it wrong
[19:37:10] &lt;Adam&gt; I think it was made before gravatar was a thing
[19:37:27] &lt;Adam&gt; just, upload it yourself, its only used on the forums I think
[19:37:37] &lt;Mikaela&gt; and I would be interested in the documentation as Atheme is missing those excpet /msg service everything
[19:37:39] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I see
[19:38:37] &lt;Adam&gt; I dont think there is user documentation
[19:38:57] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I wonder what is the first service that succeeds in writing that
[19:39:10] &lt;Adam&gt; There used to be the docgen but that was baiscally just the help output glorified and put on a webpage, but its only does anope 1
[19:39:28] &lt;Adam&gt; Im not sure if there needs to be any user documentation
[19:39:33] &lt;Adam&gt; most of its obvious
[19:39:33] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I see
[19:39:43] &lt;Adam&gt; and well what is a "user"
[19:39:57] &lt;Adam&gt; imo a user is just someone who uses IRC but does not say administer channels
[19:40:19] &lt;Adam&gt; the average user probably uses nothing more than identify and maybe some info outputs
[19:40:21] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I have been planning to be writing fast quickstart for Atheme, because Finns at pirateirc have trouble with understanding services and registering and everything
[19:40:40] &lt;Adam&gt; channel administation can be more complex
[19:40:53] &lt;Adam&gt; although we have qop for access which is about as dumbed down as possible
[19:40:59] &lt;Adam&gt; compared to say flags
[19:41:33] &lt;Adam&gt; since its basically each command is associated with a channel prefix, which users often understand pretty early
[19:42:10] &lt;Mikaela&gt; https://github.com/Mikaela/wiki.mikaela.info/issues/2
[19:42:35] &lt;Adam&gt; some documentation would be welcome I suppose though
[19:42:51] &lt;Mikaela&gt; and I have written this for myself for automatically setting templates the way I want and later be lazy https://github.com/Mikaela/gist/blob/master/irc/atheme/cstemplate
[19:42:55] &lt;Adam&gt; I never really got into it because never had the time and my time was best spent developing actual features which not everyone can do
[19:43:23] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I would have time, but I have no skills or then I don't feel like doing anything or something
[19:43:50] &lt;Mikaela&gt; automatic identification part should be same with both as that is SASL or CertFP
[19:45:07] &lt;Adam&gt; you should setup anope and play with it some and see what its like
[19:45:55] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I am currently having opering burnout or something, so not immediately and it feels better to be in some network as normal user where to wonder things
[19:46:39] &lt;Adam&gt; hm oper burnout lol
[19:46:45] &lt;Adam&gt; from the other opers?
[19:47:05] &lt;Mikaela&gt; those
[19:47:41] &lt;Mikaela&gt; oh, I hope you don't mind that I added the beginning of this discussion to that zerobin as I talked about it ~everywhere including kaniini whom you don't seem to like so much
[19:47:57] &lt;Adam&gt; oh thats great.
[19:48:31] &lt;Adam&gt; I do mind actually
[19:48:57] &lt;Adam&gt; but thats ok
[19:49:22] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I can probably erase that zerobin if you wish
[19:49:32] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't think anyone from there read it as no one has said anything
[19:50:06] &lt;Mikaela&gt; erased
[19:50:10] &lt;Adam&gt; thanks
[19:50:48] &lt;Mikaela&gt; they will just be wondering my weird comments and 404 error on paste expiry/removal/whatever
[19:50:50] &lt;Adam&gt; how much did you show nenolod
[19:51:47] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't think they ever saw that paste as they appear to be away, but it was the same paste as on #inspircd with my full log on #anope and your apology and I manually explained otr.py causing the issues
[19:51:59] &lt;Adam&gt; oh
[19:52:03] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I cannot be fully sure on the idle time as mammon doesn't handle that correctly
[19:52:30] &lt;Adam&gt; its just, I try to avoid nenolod. generally if I totally avoid him he will avoid me and then we all get along fine
[19:52:38] &lt;Adam&gt; but if I start poking at him/him at me we get in fights and its bad
[19:53:00] &lt;Adam&gt; so I try to just completely ignore him
[19:53:31] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I haven't had issues with them, but I have some strange feelings
[19:53:53] &lt;Adam&gt; ive had nothing but issues
[19:53:55] &lt;Adam&gt; for a number of years
[19:54:01] &lt;Adam&gt; really since forever
[19:54:21] &lt;Adam&gt; so, I try to stay away
[19:54:52] &lt;Adam&gt; shouldnt have banned you earlier that just stirs up stuff
[19:54:55] &lt;Mikaela&gt; wouldn't it be better for both to cooperate as you are both services developers?
[19:55:03] &lt;Adam&gt; no
[19:55:25] &lt;Adam&gt; hes a manipulative narcissist and cannot be reasoned with
[19:55:30] &lt;Adam&gt; ive tried to before
[19:55:45] &lt;Mikaela&gt; it will probably also stir up stuff that I said that I got banned without even talking on the channel and being called as "brainwashed Atheme user"
[19:55:49] &lt;Adam&gt; I was an atheme developer for like idk a week
[19:55:58] &lt;Adam&gt; &gt;.&gt;
[19:56:20] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I didn't think that you could get upset on the comments on #inspircd as I also asked them on the help channel
[19:56:23] &lt;Adam&gt; oh well
[19:57:45] &lt;Adam&gt; after the way hes treated all of us for so many years theres no chance I dont think
[19:58:11] &lt;Adam&gt; you know
[19:58:28] &lt;Adam&gt; ironically hes responsbile for some of the cooler inspircd/anope stuff
[19:59:02] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't know anything about that treatment except that they seem to have low tolerance towards some people and I think I have been in good ters even if there are some strange things
[19:59:30] &lt;Adam&gt; like when i added os_dns to anope he started going around spamming anope has security holes etc and is vuln to whatever, even though it is all false
[19:59:38] &lt;Adam&gt; made quite a rucus though
[19:59:40] &lt;Adam&gt; on twitter too
[20:00:07] &lt;Adam&gt; so I changed it around a bit a made m_dns for anope, which is an entirely modular dns system, and now its also powering inspircd 2.2's dns system
[20:00:40] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I see
[20:00:46] &lt;Adam&gt; his problem was just it was in the core and kind of not opt out (though it was really if you configured it to be disabled ..) but oh well now its modular
[20:00:49] &lt;Adam&gt; I do like it
[20:02:03] &lt;Adam&gt; hes an impulsive liar about stuff like that really, he will say whatever it is he has to to convince you that hes right
[20:02:03] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Does anope have other services than those listed on about page? according to #atheme atheme has no other list of services than going through example config file and I think that is a little too difficult at the moment so I am just going to open pull request hardcoding anope
[20:02:07] &lt;Adam&gt; even though its totally wrong
[20:02:48] &lt;Adam&gt; pull request to where
[20:02:52] &lt;Mikaela&gt; if you mean e.g. certfp, I have experience with that, but I might also be wrong about it and currently it's just the best way I can identify
[20:02:56] &lt;Mikaela&gt; That OTR.py script
[20:03:06] &lt;Adam&gt; no you just have to read the example configs, but
[20:03:07] &lt;Adam&gt; its just uh
[20:03:14] &lt;Adam&gt; nickserv chanserv botserv memoserv operserv
[20:03:17] &lt;Adam&gt; hostserv
[20:03:22] &lt;Adam&gt; sometimes statserv
[20:03:31] &lt;Adam&gt; I think thats it
[20:03:32] &lt;Mikaela&gt; so http://anope.org/about.php is not full list
[20:03:52] &lt;Adam&gt; thats right minus statserv thats sort of new
[20:04:02] &lt;Adam&gt; we have no chanfix or whatever else
[20:04:02] &lt;Adam&gt; gameserv
[20:04:13] &lt;Adam&gt; or saslserv, which I dont actually understand its purpose, though we do have sasl support
[20:04:17] &lt;Adam&gt; its just in nickserv
[20:04:25] &lt;Mikaela&gt; oh and kaniini appears to be present now and they answered "no" to my question on Atheme people banning Anope people without reason
[20:04:27] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I will write those
[20:04:41] &lt;Adam&gt; no I don't think they ban anope people without reason, why would they
[20:05:06] &lt;Mikaela&gt; how do you know if Anope network supports SASL by the way? I am contributor in Limnoria and our documentation tells to check if SASL is supported by whoising SaslServ
[20:05:20] &lt;Adam&gt; cap ls?
[20:05:48] &lt;Adam&gt; just try it and see I guess, so you have to connect first without it in order to see if its supposed?
[20:05:51] &lt;Adam&gt; er supported
[20:05:58] &lt;Adam&gt; even if saslserv is on, does that mean the ircd really supports it?
[20:06:09] &lt;Adam&gt; or what kind of mechs are enabled?
[20:06:16] &lt;Adam&gt; some ircds dont do external but will do others
[20:06:45] &lt;Mikaela&gt; cap ls is a little difficult to users and I am not sure if cap ls is so easy to users either
[20:07:11] &lt;Mikaela&gt; that network with I have burnoer actually had Atheme SASL enabled, but not InspIRCd and tens of other similar issues
[20:07:33] &lt;Adam&gt; theres probably never a way to know unless you send AUTHENTICATE whatever
[20:07:35] &lt;Adam&gt; and get back a reply
[20:07:39] &lt;Adam&gt; for sure
[20:08:18] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Limnoria is IRC bot and I guess most of our users don't bother reading messages.log or console output on whether it succeeds with SASL or not
[20:08:52] &lt;Mikaela&gt; it supports PLAIN, EXTERNAL and ECDSA (which was added by grawity)
[20:14:29] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Does https://github.com/mmb/weechat-otr/pull/115 look correct to you?
[20:15:01] &lt;Adam&gt; yea
[20:15:06] &lt;Mikaela&gt; :)
[20:15:13] &lt;Adam&gt; you could add athemes other stuff there
[20:15:18] &lt;Adam&gt; gameserv and w\e
[20:15:24] &lt;Adam&gt; groupserv
[20:15:46] &lt;Adam&gt; is it smart enough to /whois them and see what server they are on
[20:15:48] &lt;Adam&gt; and then act based on that
[20:16:02] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Atheme has too many different services for me to remember and I think I will do that later when I can go through the example config file. That is why I don't close the issue #114
[20:16:37] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't think they are enough intelligent for that and as the services server is changeable it should probably use the services numberic, but I don't think it's intelligent enough to do that and I have no coding skills to make it do that
[20:17:05] &lt;Adam&gt; it almost always starts with "services."
[20:17:28] &lt;Adam&gt; or contains it
[20:17:30] &lt;Adam&gt; might be "ircservices."
[20:17:56] &lt;Mikaela&gt; but for example I could be evil and change it to "palvelut." (which is services. in Finnish), I don't think that is working alternative
[20:18:15] &lt;Adam&gt; well thats not whats in the default config files
[20:18:16] &lt;Adam&gt; which is what people use
[20:19:49] &lt;Mikaela&gt; the default is services.int with Atheme, I have no idea on Anope and people usually change it to include their network and just because it's the default isn't reason enough to assume that it's always the default
[20:20:04] &lt;Adam&gt; ive been doing this a long time
[20:20:12] &lt;Adam&gt; 99.9% of the time it starts with services.
[20:20:41] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I don't think ignoring that 0.1% is OK
[20:21:06] &lt;Mikaela&gt; oh and the negative Anope discussion seems to be going on different channel than #atheme and it probably startd from my comments
[20:21:19] &lt;Adam&gt; im sure

2015-02-22.log:[16:18:42] &lt;Mikaela&gt; some IRC clients don't send unknown commands to server by default and need manual configuring. I have no idea about mIRC
2015-02-22.log:[16:19:12] &lt;Mikaela&gt; WeeChat requires "/set irc.network.send_unknown_commands on" before /ns and all work and irssi requires dispatch.pl

2015-02-22.log-[16:24:36] &lt;Jobe&gt; typically mIRC sends unknown commands to the server, the exception is for commands mIRC handles internally either by custom script or its own code

## Sorcerynet and the top secret IRCd change
**TRIGGER WARNING: suicidality**
* It's 2015-03-03 and I am being suicidal, because real life issues
(school, gatekeeping, depression etc.) and I am looking for peer support
channel for asexual people.
* Update on 2015-03-25: for more information about these real life
issues or the biggest ones, plase see [this post.]({% post_url 2015-03-25-leaving-bots-life %})
* I find one and connect to network that I have never heard about and
join the channel and it seems nice one. Sadly the network is controlled
by Anope developers (even if I thought they were just at Teranova) and
I am immediately accused of connecting there just, because they are
doing top secret IRCd change from their Charybdis fork to InspIRCd.
* Moving to InspIRCd is actually a good thing and it's my IRCd of choice
currently and it also supports IRCv3 which is basic requirement for me
nowadays.
<pre class="irclog">
[15:58:02] &lt;Adam&gt; how did you find sorcerynet?
[15:58:53] &lt;Adam&gt; eg, what made you join it
[16:58:03] &lt;Mikaela&gt; why do you ask?
[17:13:42] &lt;Adam&gt; oh I thought I did a pretty good job not telling anyone about it
[17:14:14] &lt;Adam&gt; though they did announce it on their mailing list apparently but I dont think anyone reads that :o
[17:15:01] &lt;Mikaela&gt; telling probably cannot hurt as I am already suicidal and no one can hurt me anymore
[17:15:20] &lt;Mikaela&gt; sorcerynet has the largest LGBTIQ channel that you find using IRC search engines with query "asexual"
[17:15:46] &lt;Adam&gt; huh
[17:16:11] &lt;Adam&gt; youre not a user of the network, you only registered 2 days ago
[17:16:16] &lt;Adam&gt; you are there because of the ircd migration
[17:16:48] &lt;Mikaela&gt; no, I am there, because there is LGBTIQ channel which so far seems active and not too insane
[17:18:08] &lt;Mikaela&gt; https://search.mibbit.com/search/asexual http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?chat=asexual
[17:18:15] &lt;Adam&gt; I find that too much of a coincidence to believe it, so
[17:18:16] &lt;Adam&gt; sorry
[17:18:44] &lt;Mikaela&gt; do you have something personally against me?
[17:18:56] &lt;Adam&gt; no but I have something against anyone affiliated with atheme
[17:19:32] &lt;Adam&gt; a number of years ago we moved sorcery to anope off of their custom services package and we took hell from atheme from it, was bad, its the main reason nenolod hates me now
[17:19:43] &lt;Adam&gt; am trying to avoid a repeat on this move to inspircd which I am sure he will detest
[17:20:20] &lt;Adam&gt; it certainly was the main falling out betweeen us, before that we talked sometimes
[17:21:08] &lt;Adam&gt; the move was only announced on the 27th
[17:22:18] &lt;Mikaela&gt; can I ask to join #FILTERED there and ask them about me?
[17:22:28] &lt;Adam&gt; so you can understand atheme people appearing out of nowhere there makes me uneasy, i thought I had done a good job not mentioning it anywhere that might bring attention
[17:22:30] &lt;Mikaela&gt; or would grepped logs of me be enough?
[17:23:34] &lt;Adam&gt; fine if its totally unrelated them im sorry i jumped to the wrong conclusion
[17:24:15] &lt;Mikaela&gt; you are insane
[17:24:15] &lt;Mikaela&gt; &lt;EXPIRED PASTE&gt; grepping me
[17:24:22] &lt;Adam&gt; it would help if the first thing you said in #square wasn't of the "because it doesn't work how I personally think it does, it is wrong" logic
[17:24:31] &lt;Adam&gt; (10:26:06) &lt; Mikaela&gt; is it known issue that SASL EXTERNAL doesn't work? CertFP seems to work though and SASL PLAIN didn't error
[17:24:46] &lt;Adam&gt; the ircd was written prior to sasl external existing
[17:24:49] &lt;Adam&gt; it certainly is not an "issue"
[17:24:53] &lt;Adam&gt; it is simply not implemented
[17:25:21] &lt;Adam&gt; I imagine it will come about whenever it is switched to inspircd since that does support it afaik
[17:25:23] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I am not familiar with your IRCd at all and I only assumed SASL EXTERNAL would work, because I am aware of it being always enabled with Anope like SASL PLAIN is
[17:26:49] &lt;Adam&gt; then you should instead ask if sasl external is supported, perhaps
[17:27:06] &lt;Adam&gt; instead of assuming it is and because it doesnt work for you, there is a problem somewhere.
[17:27:16] &lt;Mikaela&gt; freenode is the only place ever where I have seen certfp without SASL EXTERNAL
[17:27:22] &lt;Adam&gt; btw the ircd is a fork of charybdis 3.2, so, its largly not even our stuff
[17:27:38] &lt;Adam&gt; they have an older ircd, too
[17:28:00] &lt;Mikaela&gt; if you want more &lt;EXPIRED PASTE&gt;
[17:28:31] &lt;Adam&gt; at the time charybdis didn't support sasl external, so its just not there. most networks don't proactively try and always sit on the latest versions of stuff
[17:28:45] &lt;Adam&gt; change is hard
[17:29:12] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I think I am suicidal enough to give logs of this discussion to kaniini when this is over
[17:31:16] &lt;Adam&gt; I really dont follow
[17:32:36] &lt;Adam&gt; are you afraid of me telling people youre lgbt?
[17:32:45] &lt;Adam&gt; (10:15:02) &lt;Mikaela&gt; telling probably cannot hurt as I am already suicidal and no one can hurt me anymore
[17:33:12] &lt;Mikaela&gt; no, telling the reason why I went there
[17:33:20] &lt;Adam&gt; oh
[17:33:37] &lt;Adam&gt; Ive known this for longer than youve known who I was
[17:33:37] &lt;Mikaela&gt; you haven't been very nice towards me, our first meeting that I remeber was kban from #anope without me een saying anything
[17:33:39] &lt;Adam&gt; I really dont care
[17:33:41] &lt;Adam&gt; what you are
[17:36:02] &lt;Adam&gt; anyway as I said if this is all just a weird coincidence then sorry I guess
[17:36:13] &lt;Adam&gt; you must amit though, some coincidence
[17:36:42] &lt;Mikaela&gt; very coincidence that you are always attacking me everywhere
[17:37:04] &lt;Adam&gt; well, youre appearing everywhere I am
[17:39:02] &lt;Adam&gt; also I hardly attacked you i simply asked why you joined the network
[17:39:08] &lt;Adam&gt; on #anope yes sure, but not here
[17:39:47] &lt;Mikaela&gt; simply asked why I joined the network and then claim that I haven't joined there with the reason I have, but think that I am there just for IRCd migration
[17:40:00] &lt;Adam&gt; i assumed you had yes
[17:40:19] &lt;Adam&gt; didnt occur to me there could possibly be any other reason
[17:43:16] &lt;Adam&gt; I guess if you were around the last time I did something like this with sor maybe youd undersatnd more what I was trying to prevent, sigh
[17:43:19] &lt;Adam&gt; anyway sorry, bye
</pre>
## The last straw
* Correction: I am only on one network using Anope, Sorcerynet which was
mentioned earlier and I am expecting Anope developers who control it to
ban me from there as that would be their style as that would be their
style.

[14:21:45] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Does the message when you attempt to group now say that grouping is disabled or was just config file changed? If only config file was changed, I don't think that the issue is fixed
[14:22:04] &lt;Adam&gt; Look at the diff.
[14:22:21] &lt;Mikaela&gt; the diff looked only config file change to me if it was the correct diff
[14:22:34] &lt;Adam&gt; then thats what happened
[14:22:42] &lt;Mikaela&gt; then the issue is not resolved to me
[14:23:32] &lt;Adam&gt; well, I think it is because the default message currently explains as much as it needs to
[14:23:40] &lt;Adam&gt; registration is disabled, see some website
[14:24:04] &lt;Mikaela&gt; The default message says that registration is disabled and instructs going to some website which says nothing about grouping.
[14:24:14] &lt;Adam&gt; yes
[14:24:22] &lt;Adam&gt; grouping is understood to be registering
[14:24:45] &lt;Mikaela&gt; And the issue is that users think that they only want to connect nick to account, not register a new account so it's unclear that grouping is not possible and this is what the issue is about
[14:25:13] &lt;Adam&gt; "registration" is not defined as registering a new account
[14:25:24] &lt;Adam&gt; it can
[14:25:32] &lt;Adam&gt; but, it means nick registration, which is what group does
[14:25:34] &lt;Adam&gt; so the message is correct
[14:25:39] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Average user would define it as registering a new account
[14:25:52] &lt;Adam&gt; I dont think so
[14:26:13] &lt;Adam&gt; Remember anope is targeted at anope users, and not at atheme users who file bugs at us for fun
[14:26:55] &lt;Mikaela&gt; I consider myself as Anope user, because I am on two networks that use Anope and I am unable to select what services packages those networks use
[14:26:56] &lt;Adam&gt; just because your opionion says it means something, doesnt change history, and doesnt change how its worked until well technically last year, but still 2.0 still has many nick centric behaviors in it
[14:27:05] &lt;Adam&gt; well, you aren't one
[14:27:30] &lt;Mikaela&gt; Would it be impossible to say "Please note that grouping is disabled when ldap is used?" with better wording
[14:28:08] &lt;Adam&gt; I could say "registration and grouping" is disabled but that is redundant and ive previously explained
[14:28:35] &lt;Adam&gt; i suppose I could change it and people who read it would learn hey maybe they are not the same
[14:28:38] &lt;Adam&gt; but

## My contributions to Atheme and IRCv3
What I consider as contribution here is IRC support, git commits and
issue reporting/commenting.
* I haven't been IRC support to either and IRCv3 just writes documentation.
* Git commits:
* Atheme: https://github.com/atheme/atheme/commits?author=Mikaela
* "No commits found"
* IRCv3: https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/commits?author=Mikaela
* Oh, it looks like I am wrong. I have done two commits, using
singular they in place of `he/she` and added [Limnoria] to the
list of IRCv3.1 compliant bots. I am [Limnoria] contributor, but
Anope developers have never mentioned it.
* Issue tracker:
* Atheme: https://github.com/atheme/atheme/issues?q=author:Mikaela &
https://github.com/atheme/atheme/issues?q=mentions%3AMikaela+
* nothing special visible
* IRCv3: https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/issues?q=author:Mikaela & https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/issues?q=mentions%3AMikaela+
* nothing so special here either unless you count [SASL REAUTH](https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/issues/103)
and as I say there, I only opened it because no one else was
doing it (and everyone was complaining about it everywhere).
[Limnoria]:https://github.com/ProgVal/Limnoria/
## What would I use instead?
At the time of writing I would use Atheme until it stops releasing security
updates **OR** start using Shalture (which I also started translating to
Finnish, but lost motivation) **when** it starts relesing stable releases.

Some time ago I thought that I could write about this (or at least my
issue tracker has open issue about this and as I am not sleeping, I can
probably write about this...)
My ZNC config after installation is the following:
* Skin: forest

I felt like my biography (that less than 140 characters thing you see at

I changed it.

This post is mainly for me to document this. I usually have only / and
/home partitions (swapfile is on /), but UEFI also requires separate
/boot/efi and it probably doesn't hurt to train myself into making it on
older device.
* /boot
* 512 MB [as recommended at ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface&oldid=365720#EFI_System_Partition)
* FAT32
* doesn't need to be FAT32 unless /boot/efi is on same partition
and /boot/efi must be FAT32.
* /
* BTRFS
* /home
* BTRFS
* swap
* 1024 MB
* 1024 MB has been enough for me everywhere. The least amount of
RAM that I encounter is on my VPS which has 489 MB of RAM.
BTRFS might not be ready for production, but my phone
([Jolla](https://jolla.com) uses it and I haven't had any more serious
issues than:
* Doesn't support swapfiles (that is why I have swap partition)
* Jolla: [BTRFS balancing is required sometimes](https://together.jolla.com/question/30822/root-and-home-disks-full-and-causing-various-problems/)
* Laptop: when battery has ran out, [Antergos] has got stuck booting and
I have had to `btrfs check --repair /dev/sdX` (where X is / and /home
separately) before it starts booting again.

title: "ChatSpike-style IRC network management"
category: [english]
tags: [english, IRC]
published: false

ChatSpike is the IRC network that is home to InspIRC and you might have
heard about it and that it has many issues.
*I mainly focus on two issues that have bigger impact than some minor
issues like ancient services having small issue of letting anyone to login
as anyone without passwords or anything which still isn't fixed (only
workarounded), CertFP they managed to add long time ago.*
First between 2015-04-17 and 2015-04-18 ChatSpike upgraded their IRCd
which is a good thing, but they also updated their invalid SSL certificate
that was also expired without telling anyone.
Or actually they did tell about it, the upgrade was mentioned hour before
the servers restarted, but the SSL certificate change was only mentioned
in global notice after the upgrade and on website (without RSS feed).
What does this mean? Simply that all users using TLS and who actually
verified that they got the correct certificate (which was invalid and
expired) got disconnected and as their clients tried to connect, they only
encountered invalid certificate and thouht that something is wrong and
attempted reconnecting. This again hit flood protections adding network
wide ban of 24 hours.
Isn't everyone using TLS? They should, but there are always stupid clients
that don't care about certificate validity at all and there are also some
users who just blindly accept all certificates offered...
* * * * *
On the weekend 2015-05-09 and 2015-05-10 there was another SSL related
issue. SSL was disabled entirely making all ports plain text affecting
all users who use SSL regardless of whether they accept all certificates
or not.
This issue was there around 20 hours until the ChatSpike operators managed
to reload the SSL module. Can you guess what happens next? Many SSL users
are banned for reconnecting too fast as "one does not simply SSL to plain
text port". So those users are banned for 24 hours unless the operators
decide to clear that ban list.
I have no idea what they are doing as I was banned from the
main (support) channel for being "destructive instead of constructive".

title: "umode +g part 2: Why I don't acknowledge your existense"
category: [english]
tags: [english, IRC, outing, trans, ace]
published: false
---
*You might want to read this even if you don't have any idea what IRC is.
Why I am not reacting to your attempts to PM me if I don't know you?
Simple, all results are bad.*
[See also umode +g part 1]({% post_url 2015-04-02-umodeg %})
I had otherwise nice day yesterday, but then I returned home (living at
Kotka while being me is worse than death) and there were not-so-nice
things at IRC.
* ChatSpike IRC network had somehow broken itself and they have SSL ports
listening plain text, but I am not affiliated with them and it has
nothing to do with this, but I seem to be mentioning it anyway.
* Transphobic person had sent trans person after me for being in same
country and possibly being able to help (and interacting with them was
a mistake) which is why I won't acknowledge your PM attempts unless I
know you. I won't define "knowing", you can use your head for that.
So I receive two PM attempts from someone I don't know and it gives me
three choices:
* ignore it like it didn't happen
* `/accept` which can lead me getting [harassed] which doesn't interest
freenode staffers.
* `/whois <the person>` and ask on common channel if any (this time
\#freenode).
[harassed]:https://github.com/Mikaela/freenode-harassment
The third option seemed like the best possible, but was a disaster. First
I ask if there was some reason they wanted to PM me and:
> Oh, I got to know your nickname on another network from some person who
saw I was a transgender-person Mikaela .
Today it seems that I misunderstood the line badly
(that they knew me on other network) while being tired, but
why else mention "transgender" to me as PM attempt reason if I wasn't
trans.
Then many people start complaining to me about making private conversation
public ignoring that freenode staffers are infamous for their reaction to
any kind of harassment on their network so it's my fault for staying safe.
***As should be common sense, don't talk about anyone else beloging to
gender or sexual minority, depending on which of them, they will get
interacted with differently ("trying to cheat other people that they are
another gender than they are"), violence, harassment, bullying or worse.***
At this point there was finally a little PMing to return to \#freenode
with even worse way longer time laterwhile I was preparing for bed and
I wasn't following IRC (which possibly was good thing in this case.)
*Everything below is from \#freenode*
> I got your contact details from \<TRANSPHOBE\> in irc.pomf.se and that
person wanted to send greetings or something.
*Please consider this blog post as return-greetings...*
> I didn't know you were that young.
> Something bad happened in Kotka in my life while other bad things were
happening in there so I made a connection that you might be some kind of
a key to fix some feelings left by that.
*I think I have talked about living at Kotka being worse than death at many
places, but no idea where you made that assumption.*
> And, if you like, you could go to the Mensa IQ-test in Helsinki when
you have the time. Guide on how to go there can be found at
http://www.mensa.fi/
*this has what to do with anything? bullying because of autism? by the way,
other people are again complaining about the discussion which is natural
as there is no reason for it to belong to \#freenode.*
> And Mikaela, if you come out of being asexual, you could come to Rizon
to chat. #transbians is a good channel.
*I take this as acephobia, the chances of me becoming something else than
ace is probably same as sexual orientation of any other person changing...
Here I am also outed as ace and I already talked about that before with
great emphasis.*
*One thing that happens to ace people when outed is often said to be
"corrective rape", as raping asexual person will surely make them straight
even if it won't work with other sexual minorities. Or does it cause mental
health issues and more fear towards sexuality? (note that ace people can
still have sex if they choose so and not everyone is repulsed by sex.
remember consent).*
* * * * *
Now you should know...
* that you mustn't talk about someone else being gender or sexual minority
even if they are publicly out, let them tell by themselves if they choose
to do so. Other people have no need for that information, they only need
knowledge on your preferred pronouns (or they can use singular they or
other gender neutral pronoun)…
* that I am not going to talk to you in PM unless I know you and you should
use common sense for defining "knowing" and one real life example of what
can happen if I do talk to you.
* that I have more issues with trying to help other people now. I have nice
issues with it for example freenode's "feminist" channels (with the
quotes) and getting bullied for performing repair install to their PC
when it was failing to boot Windows and they were lost on what to do.

title: "My systemd-networkd setup"
category: [english]
tags: [english, systemd-networkd]
published: false
---
*This is happy post so probably useless, but my blog is always so
unhappy… Anyway, systemd-networkd on my hosts.*
I am running systemd-networkd on wired hosts as I am not so sure how it
works with wireless hosts and I am using network manager with WLAN
connections.
The hosts mentioned here are
* Zaldaryn which runs Ubuntu MATE 15.04
* Rbtpzn which currently runs Antergos and is the oldest PC I have and
it's also the first one ever where I installed Ubuntu 8.04 in 2008.
First you create network connection, I call them with the adapter name,
e.g. Rbtpzn has `/etc/systemd/network/enp0s18.network` and Zaldaryn
`/etc/systemd/network/eth0.network`.
It appears that I have been experimenting with the two hosts, so the
files differ. Here is Zaldaryn which looks more proper or direct copy
from Arch Wiki:
```
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
DNS=127.0.0.1
[Address]
Address=172.16.1.6
[Route]
Gateway=172.16.0.1
```
and Rbtpzn
```
[Match]
Name=enp0s18
[Network]
Address=172.16.1.2/16
Gateway=172.16.0.1
# DNS has no effect unless systemd-resolved is used
# systemctl enable systemd-resolved && systemctl start systemd-resolved
# ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
DNS=127.0.0.1
DNS=::1
DNS=8.8.4.4
NTP=pool.ntp.org
```
As you can see, they are quite different, Zaldaryn has everything neatly
separated and Rbtpzn has everything in the same block.
Match specifies which network interface is in question, Address is IP
address of the host. I am not sure where I took NTP and as the Rbtpzn block
says, you must use systemd-resolved for the DNS settings to do anything,
but that is easy, just run as root (or prefix all three commands
with `sudo`):
*update on 2015-06-07: to use NTP, you use systemd-timesyncd which is
enabled with `timedatectl set-ntp true`.*
```
systemctl enable systemd-resolved && systemctl start systemd-resolved
ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
```
The address can also have CIDR specified which probably should be done, but
it appears that systemd-networkd can guess it correctly as everything works
with Zaldaryn which doesn't have it specified.
I am also using `systemd-networkd-wait-online.service`
(`systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service`) so
`network.target` means that I have IP address before boot continues.
<s>There is 90 second timeout, but I still don't feel like trying this with wireless host as I would have 90 seconds longer boot time in new
environments.</s>
*Update on 2015-06-07: on wireless hosts I am using Network Manager and
it appears that `NetworkManager-wait-online.service`
(`systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service)` works well
and I shouldn't be in new environments so often that the 90 seconds timeout
would cause more harm than good.*
Currently the only thing using network.target for me is Reflector service
from Archwiki which updates mirrorlist with the fastest last synced mirrors
on boot on Rbtpzn.

title: "Trying to be a better op"
category: [english]
tags: [english, irc]
published: false
---
*If ops are attacked, the channel is also hurt as much as if users were
attacked. Thus I am also taking action if op is attacked.*
Usually when I am op, it's easy to take action when someone else or some
user is attacked. When op is attacked and they take action, they are
"unable to handle criticism" or "abusing ops" or *anything like that here.*
From now, I will try to unlearn from that and be a better op at least on
channels that have clear (written or not) rules as on channels that don't,
there possibly no way to know what the ops are even supposed to do other
than look so scary that no one does anything bad.
There are only two issues that I see immediately now that I am typing this:
* What is an attack?
* What if it's not an attack and op makes a mistake?
The second is easy to answer, if there are multiple ops, the user affected
by the mistake can discuss about it with other ops present and/or the
other ops can revert whatever was done.
But there is still the question *what is an attack*?
*Attack is a deliberate attempt to hurt someone* which again is unclear,
but so I am told and I must probably use my judgement on it which again
can results to mistakes, but those are reversible by other ops.
<s>Trying to analyze logs of the previous case this happened, it looks like
attack is at least:</s>
* <s>directly targeted to a person, not part of them, and not generally saying
that some part of them makes or doesn't make them X and neither it's
generally talking about that part and oneself own experiences of them.</s>
* <s>the *not*-parts still feel like attacks reading this, but other ops
say that it's assertiveness.</s>
* <s>talking about privilege for living in X where things are better and that
means that the attacked one cannot have any kinds of issues with anything</s>
<s>including mental health</s>
* <s>talking like the attacked one was attacking them</s>
* <s>*additions welcome*</s>
Attack seems to also be when the attacked one communicates being
uncomfortable (which should be done clearly, but do they always remember
that instead of getting defensive) or when third party tells the people to
calm down, but other party still continues. <s>I think the usual three
warnings policy can be implemented here.</s>
One way to express uncomfortability or feeling attacked would be for
example saying "I think that is disrespectful" or "I feel you are attacking
me".
Further reading would be the two policies from freenode and I currently
don't feel like commenting them further as my opinions are known.
* [Freenode's catalysts policy](https://freenode.net/catalysts.shtml)
* [Freenode's channel guidelines](https://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml)
*Reviewed on 2015-06-12T08:51+0300 based on what others commented to me.*

*IRCnet is dying network, one of the first ones, and it has no centralized
management, so nothing new ever happens there.*
I left IRCnet today because I have gotten enough unwanted PMs (Private
Messages). Mostly there was nothing bad in them, but I have long history
with IRC harassment so I get very anxious every time I receive a message
from sender I don't know or more importantly [have approved].
* [freenode-harassment] - freenode staff had zero interest to doing
anything so I released the most troubling content.

[ircassholes]:http://ircassholes.tumblr.com/
There are also other missing features:
* [TLS (over IRC in this blog)] - Encrypted connection between you and the
server.
* Services - NickServ, ChanServ etc. NickServ allows nicks to be registered
so you can be sure that you talk to the person and not someone who
stole their nick for imposting and doing bad things as you. ChanServ
again allows channel registration and having access list so all ops
can always be opped automatically and voiced people voiced etc.
* [IRCv3] - Modernizing the IRC protocol with many improvements, such as
[away-notify] which makes server tell you every time someone on common
channel goes /away or returns. I mention this, because it decreases
bandwidth a lot as clients don't have to `/who`-poll to see which people
are away. Away-notify is also faster.

*A frequently asked question: "what does hau mean?" To avoid repeating
myself, I will explain it here.*
"Hau" is what dogs "say" in Finnish (they also "say" some other things such
as "vuh").
At first I just greeted [Tessu] and family members by saying "hau" and then
it widened to IRC & elsewhere.
[Tessu]:https://mikaela.info/r/tessu
It cannot be any worse greeting than "hai" (below) which some people use.

* * * * *
*Update: add some point I started saying "mau" instead which is what
the cats say in Finnish, but why not as it only changes one letter.*
*This is probably caused by the fact that I moved away from Tessu and
[Karou from the Daughter of Smoke & Bone](/r/karou) was very easy to
identify with in the first book.*

title: "How to private message people on Telegram without getting reported for spam"
category: [english]
tags: [telegram, english, spam]
redirect_from: /telegramspam.html
published: false
---
*This should be obvious, but is apparently not as at time of writing I have
blocked and reported around 95 people for spam.*
*The number has been last updated on 2016-09-05.*
## Rules applying to everyone
* Ask for permission on group before messaging me or your message is spam.
* If you do message without permission, type your greeting and message on
the first line using proper English (or in my case Finnish).
* I am not going to read multiple lines of spam just to figure out if
it's spam or not.
* I am not native English speaker, so if the message consist entirely
of improper English, I have to decipher the message which might go
over my abilities which makes the message spam.
* If you request *please don't report me for spam*, that seals your message
as spam.
* If I express disinterest towards the discussion, forward you somewhere
else or say that I cannot help you, **stop!** Otherwise you become
spammer again.
There are also other factors such as my mood, but if you follow these
instructions and don't ask anything [offensive](https://github.com/Mikaela/freenode-harassment/blob/master/spydar007/2015-01-12.query.log#L6),
there is good chance that I or any reasonable person doesn't report you
for spam.
## If we know each other
* The rules applying to everyone also apply to you.
* If we know each other, I might not follow them so strictly.
* Remember that I have facial blindness and bad name memory, so I
might not recognize you leading to spam report.
* If we have shared our phone numbers, the report spam button doesn't
appear.
## Further reading
* [Telegram spam FAQ](https://telegram.org/faq_spam) which Telegram
**should force new users to read** *in my opinion.*
* The questions two and three are the most important in my opinion.
* If you use your brains, you will see that this page is in line with
the spam FAQ, but tries to be more idiotproof.
* If you do get your account limited (=prevented from contacting people
privately whose number you don't have and who doesn't have your number,
punishment from spamming), contact the
[spambot](https://telegram.me/spambot) instead of complaining on
groups..

title: "Why I use Telegram?"
category: [english]
tags: [english, IRC, Telegram, security, privacy]
redirect_from: /whytelegram.html
published: false
---
*I get often asked why do I use Telegram even if it's known to have bad
crypto. The answer is that crypto doesn't always matter.*
***[Please read why I removed my Telegram account!]({% post_url 2016-09-29-why-not-telegram %})***
The main reason is usernames, I can take one and share it to people for
them to contact me instead of giving my phone number to everyone. This
also applies to groups where people see only the name and optionally
username, not the phone number (like at [WhatsApp] and possibly [Signal]).
This makes [Telegram] somewhat more open version of [Slack] as anyone can
join public groups without being invited by email address, public link
or invite link that group creator can get.
[Telegram] also is cross-platform and welcomes third party clients unlike
[WhatsApp] and Signal (which gives me the impression of being a little more
transparent WhatsApp *[reason](https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issuecomment-217211165)*).
The official clients are open source (but like Android the source code
always seems to be released some time after the release) and there are
unofficial clients for [Sailfish OS] and [Ubuntu Touch].
And back to the [bad crypto], I don't see what it matters if Telegram can
read the messages I send with cloud chat or attacker the secret chat
messages if the same groups there are on [Facebook] where [Facebook] can
read all the messages or the groups are [relayed to IRC] where most of
people sadly connect using plain text connection and send the plaintext
around the internet where anyone at correct position could read the
messages.
If we compare [Telegram] to [IRC], [Telegram] immediately has the
advatance of being in groups/online receiving messages always since you
join the group. With [IRC] you would disconnect and join all the time when
you power off your devices unless you have took the time to learn using
shells (terminal multiplexer, CLI IRC client) or bouncers.
It seems like IRC has very little requirements (without shell/bouncer), but
Telegram only requires phone number for logging in / registering and you
can do that on any client even [web.telegram.org](https://web.telegram.org)
and you see the same (not secret chat) messages on all clients. One could
argue that SMS verification is insecure, but you can enable two factor
authentication from the settings and enable password that you will always
be asked for in addition to the SMS/Telegram code.
* * * * *
But what if you need the stronger crypto? If you only communicate with
Android/iOS users, [Signal] might work for you, if you also need to
communicate with Windows Phone users, you must probably use [WhatsApp]
where most of your family/friends most likely already are.
Most universal protocol would probably be [XMPP] and you can use e2e
encryption with it either by [OTR], [OpenPGP] or [OMEMO] where [OMEMO]
is at time of writing only supported by [Conversations], (Android-only,
[free on F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=conversations&fdid=eu.siacs.conversations))
and [Gajim], (cross-platform desktop client).
*PS. I encourage using some of the other options instead of having very
private/secret dicussions on [Telegram] as it's always possible to give
your number or [XMPP] ID and send people to contact you there. If you need
XMPP ID, try [podupti.me](https://podupti.me/) where you will also get a
Diaspora\* account. (Note that not all pods have XMPP enabled, check the
services offered.)*
*PPS. I am somewhat unhappy with this post as it looks worse than I
imagined, but [improving pull requests are always welcome](https://github.com/Mikaela/mikaela.github.io/edit/master/_posts/2016-05-21-why-telegram.md).*

title: "Why not Telegram or why I left it"
category: [english]
tags: [english, Telegram, feminism]
published: false

*You might have read my post on [why I use Telegram] or something else
about Telegram I have typed, so I guess I must also blog about why I
left.*
[why I use Telegram]:{% post_url 2016-05-21-why-telegram %}
* *Communication* - you might have seen [Telegram tweets] and how there
is only one tweet which they ever replied to. However they never
implemented any way to limit who can start those secret chats (that are
[insecure] by the way).
* *Changelogs* - when I write this, Telegram Desktop changelog lags
month behind the releases which there have been at least three.
* *Twisted version of FOSS* - They claim to be *Free Open Source Software*,
but they never released the source of the server side software and
they always release the source code long time after the client has
been released, even if I know Android does this too. The third party
clients suffer from the same issue, they say their code is stolen
to paid projects and thus they just stop releasing the code. As a side
issue they also don't use `git tag`.
* *Security* - you have surely seen someone comment that Telegram is
[insecure] and what do the founders do? They start attacking the person
saying that it's insecure instead of doing anything to the security
issues. The latest case was Pavel Durov vs Edward Snowden at Twitter.
* *Spam* - the topic I have written the most about. At Telegram there is
no way to control who can message you (you can only report them for
spam afterwards if you don't reply and that doesn't apply to their
"secret chats"). As I am a woman, I get messages from many men and my
block list was around 110 people at the time I removed my account. The
issue didn't get helped by removing username which is one big reason
to use Telegram and while I had username, it got worse when "Telegram
search engine" Intent.to listed me as a "channel or bot" which
apparently meant "dating bot" as my username was "Kissaela", I was
probably findable with the word "kiss".
* How other services have reslved this?
* IRCds generally have usermode +g preventing anyone from messaging
you unless you `/accept` them or give them permision to PM you
first.
* Matrix/Riot requires you to create a room for even messages
between two users and to message the person, you must invite
them to your new room. The invited user has a choice whether
to follow your invitation or refuse it.
[Telegram tweets]:{% post_url 2016-06-01-telegram-tweets %}
[insecure]:http://security.stackexchange.com/a/49802
* * * * *
How do you reach me now? I will be updating my SOME page to include IM
accounts or kill the chat page replacing it with contact page including
some kind of details on how to contact me (remember the PGP key that won't
be listed) hopefully keeping control on who can contact me. Whichever
I do, you will find the SOME or Contact page from top bar. It still needs
some thinking and I won't be updating this page.
* * * * *
I almost forgot, you can remove your Telegram account at
[Telegram.org/deactivate](https://telegram.org/deactivate) . You are asked
your phone number in international format and then security code sent t
*Telegram* and you are asked for optional feedback before leaving and
final confirmation. When you confirm, you are logged out of all Telegram
clients and your account is gone. However your groups stay as ghosts.

*I have blogged about Telegram a lot and I thought I would end it to
leaving it, but that didn't happen. However I MUST type about the
current situation I have with it.*
**TL;DR I don't recommend Telegram for anyone if you aren't forced to use
it and to protect myself I am not setting username. As I don't recommend
it, I am there only with my primary phone number (DO NOT SHARE IT), if
someone needs to contact me, use Matrix @Ciblia:matrix.org or Wire
(myname at myname dot info).**

If you haven't read my blog previously, you might want to read the aspects
of Telegram I have written about earlier:
* [How to private message people on Telegram without getting reported for spam]({% post_url 2016-04-26-telegram-privatemessaging-people %})
* Where I have Telegrams spam issue my issue and try to make it clear
to its users that they are not behaving properly.
* [Why I use Telegram?]({% post_url 2016-05-21-why-telegram %})
* Where I talk about the positive aspects.
* [Telegram tweets where I refer often]({% post_url 2016-06-01-telegram-tweets %})
* The beginning (and end) with communication with Telegram developers.
* I have also tweeted to [Wire] multiple times and I cannot
remember any tweet that they haven't replied just as a
side-note...
* [Why to not use Telegram?]({% post_url 2016-09-29-why-not-telegram %})
* Where I finally leave Telegram and talk about the negative aspects.
*I also think I am not going to edit all of those posts and if you have a
problem, feel free to send Pull Requests.*
* * * * *
So in the previous episode I left Telegram (and after a long time briefly
visited it again as there were problems with relaybot (which simply
moved to another persons API key) but it was too stressful so I left
almost immediately) and now after a long time I have returned there.
I would have preferred avoiding it, but I started learning Esperanto on
Sunday (20th) in the freenode channel (use ALIS) I was overspoken to
returning there as
[Telegram is very popular with Esperantists (link in Esperanto)](http://telegramo.org/).
This brings me back Telegram issues where the only ones that I can affect
are:
* *Twisted version of FOSS*
* As the app is open source even if the source is released long time
after releases, it's in [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/) which is
Android app store for FOSS apps, which has compiled it (removing
GCM support and possibly other propietary parts) I installed Telegram
from there and I know the app which I am using is open source even
if it lags long behind the Play Store version.
* *Spam*
* I don't set username (killing one of the only good things in
Telegram) as that would allow anyone to contact me instead of only
the people who have my number or are in common group with me.
* I only join groups that I actually need to join avoiding bigger
groups that might potentially be nice, but which would surely lure
spammers. This is another good feature of Telegram killed.
* This way to contact me you must have my number or be in common
group and I might know which group the spammer is part of and
in addition to reporting them for spam I can also report them
to the group admin possibly getting them removed. I don't think
Esperantists, SailfishOS fans or autists tolerate spamming.
* * * * *
Originally I was trying to be at Telegram using both phones (OnePlus3 &
Jolla1), but people found it too confusing so I decided to kill the less
private account to avoid confusion. It also makes the message that I
don't support Telegram more clear, but makes contacting me more
difficult for Telegram users who actually have something to say to me,
but that is their problem. **Do NOT give my phone number to these
people.**
I think my primary communication protocol is currently
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) where I am
[@Ciblia:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/@Ciblia:matrix.org), but
[IRC](/irc) isn't going anywhere either (especially thanks to
[Matrixs IRC bridge](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/208)).
I have also started warming to [Wire] which doesn't require phone number
(when registering using the [web or desktop apps](https://app.wire.com/)),
seems to have better encryption than Telegram (which is not surprising)
which is based on Signal and works on multiple devices without having to
keep one connected all the time.

title: "OxygenOS missing notifications and how to get them back"
category: [english]
tags: [english, OxygenOS, Android, notifications]
published: false
---
*Written for OxygenOS OP3_O2_Open_7 (community build), no idea if this
happens on stable builds, but it will probably start happening there.*
A few weeks ago I got annoyed by a new update which introduced "a smart
background app killing mechanism" as after that I stopped receiving
notifications. I tolerated it for some time and, as this is some time after
I returned to Telegram, I went to
[r/OnePlus Telegram group](https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/4bucfp/introducing_the_official_roneplus_telegram_group/) asking for help after
official support had had no idea on what is the issue.
They immediately had the answer, open *Settings*, go to *Battery*,
touch the *three dots*, select *Aggressive doze & app hibernation* and
disable *Enable aggressive doze & app hibernation*.
> When this is enabled, doze will operate more aggressively. Background
> apps will automatically enter hibernation.
It might sound like a good idea, but it kills notifications from mostly
all apps and I already use Greenify's Aggressive Doze which is just the
normal Android doze launched in a few minutes instead of a few hours
and it respects my whitelist.
This might have fixed notifications as long as I started the apps after
booting at least once, but if I didn't start the app, I would miss
notifications until I started the app. I thought this was a bug and was
patiently waiting for fix, until accidentally finding out what is the
problem.
Open *Settings* again, go to *Apps* this time and there select the *wheel*
next to the three dots and under *Advanced* open *App auto-launch*. Disable
*App auto-launch* and reboot and be surprised when all notifications
work again!
> When you turn it on, the system will prevent these apps from launching in
> the background.
This might also seem like a good idea, but I still have Greenify
hibernating apps that I don't care about enough to have them receiving
notifications all the time, but I would appreciate communication apps
to send notifications to me regardless of whether I open them after boot
by myself or not.

redirect_from:
- /matrixhelp.html

published: false
---
*Matrix has many clients and servers and other projects and finding the
right place to ask a question can be difficult.*
I originally wanted to contribute this post to [official Matrix
documentation], but found it too difficult to fit myself into their
[documentation style guide], so I am typing this into my blog and linking
[here](/matrixhelp.html) while hoping for the [official Matrix documentation]
to replace this in the future.
[official Matrix documentation]:https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc
[documentation style guide]:https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst
## General
The main Matrix room is `#matrix:matrix.org`, but it's a little busy and
it can be easier to ask in more specific room where you are often directed
to. It's bridged to `#matrix` at freenode.
## Clients
Riot support lives in three rooms depending on your platform:
* `#riot:matrix.org` is for Riot Web/Desktop.
* `#riot-android:matrix.org` is for Riot Android.
* `#ios:matrix.org` is for Riot iOS.
Other rooms exist for other clients:
* `#matrix-ircd:matrix.org` for Matrix IRCd, a gateway for IRC clients
* Replaced PTO.
* `#nachat:matrix.org` for NaChat
* `#tensor:matrix.org` for Tensor
* `#quaternion:matrix.org` for Quaternion (and libqmatrixclient)
* `#weechat:hveem.no` for WeeChat matrix.lua script
* matrix.org address: `#weechat:matrix.org`
* Not to be confused with `#freenode_#weechat:matrix.org` which is
for the WeeChat IRC client itself.
And while they are not clients, I think they should be mentioned:
* `#e2e:matrix.org` for End-to-end crypto in Matrix
* `#megolm:matrix.org` for end-to-end-encryption test
* Main address not set, so I am using the matrix.org one.
## Bridges & Integrations
Room for 3rd party network bridging in general is `#bridges:matrix.org`
which is also bridged to
[matrix-org/bridging at Gitter](https://gitter.im/matrix-org/bridging).
I think some bridges such as Gitter/Slack live there (please correct me if
I am wrong!).
The bridges I know to have their own rooms are:
* `#irc:matrix.org` for the IRC bridge
* [End-user FAQ], bridged to `#matrix-irc` at freenode.
* `#twitter:half-shot.uk` for the Twitter bridge
* matrix.org alias `#twitter:matrix.org`
* `#telematrix:matrix.org` for the Telegram bridge
* Doesn't have primary address set, so I take the matrix.org one.
[End-user FAQ]:https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ
Integrations live at `#neb:matrix.org` which appears to be very little
known even to people who have been using Matrix for a long time.
## Servers
I haven't been following server-side so much as I am afraid of the heavy
RAM-requirement, but the rooms I am aware of are:
* `#synapse:matrix.org` for unofficial Synapse support, but at the time of
typing they suggest you to ask questions in `#matrix:matrix.org`.
* `#ruma:matrix.org` for Ruma
* * * * *
