Do YOU hate tech but can't get away from it for some reason? GNU/Lag! reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- colfrog · 2020-08-23 18:18 `#gnulag` on `irc.snoonet.org:6697` (requires registration (NickServ or SASL) + SSL) We're a bunch of nerds (programmers + sysadmins) discussing a wide variety of things (including but not limited to Linux and other UNIX- likes, programming languages, netsec). Over 50 members strong, lots of casual banter, shitposting allowed (and welcome) as long as it's good taste and not hateful. We're active more or less 24/7 (we're from around the world). No public logs. Come lag out with your new IRC frens ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dukwon · 2020-08-23 18:40 > What up!!! We're three cool guys looking for other cool guys who wanna hang out in our ##PartyMansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged, if you're fat you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, NOTHING SEXUAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sloppy-svetlana · 2020-08-23 18:43 A good client to get started using IRC with is [Hexchat.](https://hexchat.github.io/) In case someone has trouble with registration: [please read this.](https://snoonet.org/anope/#NickServ) Basically: * Connect to server [irc.snoonet.org:6697](https://irc.snoonet.org:6697) Don't forget to check the "SSL" option! * Change to a nickname of choice with `/nick ` * Register nickname with `/msg NickServ REGISTER ` * Join the channel with `/join #gnulag` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Seirdy · 2020-08-23 18:46 Goddamit xi what have you done ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SweetKoreanGirl · 2020-08-23 18:47 Do you have any fliers to hand out? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- colfrog · 2020-08-23 18:49 Stay away from Quassel until you realize that Quasseldroid is just too good an IRC android client and you get to have an IRC bouncer that can only otherwise be used by a node.js webclient and a buggy Qt desktop client for the times you're not away from this infernal machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Seirdy · 2020-08-23 18:51 Paging u/justjanne ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dukwon · 2020-08-23 19:10 May as well post egg-sucking instructions on /r/grannies ---------------------------------------------------------------------- el_seano · 2020-08-23 19:48 Haha, y'all were pretty strict about no lurking earlier this year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- flotwig · 2020-08-23 20:23 Lurking is strictly verboten ---------------------------------------------------------------------- flotwig · 2020-08-23 20:24 `/mode +l 50` when? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-08-23 20:39 I'm not an IT guy myself, yet there's no other place i'd rather spend my idle time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-08-23 20:40 Nice ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-08-23 20:42 How about NSFW shitposting? Tasteful, but NSFW? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- colfrog · 2020-08-23 20:48 When I get my op back >.> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OMGItsCheezWTF · 2020-08-23 21:49 How do you enforce that and what defines lurking? Because I'm not disconnecting and reconnecting to a network or joining / parting a channel when i'm not online, is it OK to just speak every once in a while? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iownall555 · 2020-08-23 22:29 Something like over one or two months idle time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nik282000 · 2020-08-23 22:42 I fully endorse chatting with these goofs! Best time I ever wasted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- itSmellsLikeSnotHere · 2020-08-23 23:08 Does IRC support pictures now? Back when I used it I just copypasted links. In the year of our lord 2020 it is now seen as Discord's grandfather. Or do some IRC clients render image location links into pictures directly? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- itSmellsLikeSnotHere · 2020-08-23 23:10 what does it change? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iownall555 · 2020-08-24 00:09 tl;dr removing idlers has had a net positive effect of encouraging people to chat more rather than just lurk. It also helps to reduce people just sitting there logging everything without chatting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sloppy-svetlana · 2020-08-24 02:15 To quote the codex: >Lurking, as defined by the powers that be, involves being logged in without participation for up to 10 days. Automation or dropping a single line to reset the deadline does not count. This concerns strictly those who are connected 24/7, otherwise feel free to drop by whenever you like. We don't find asking for participation unreasonable, and it's probably why the channel isn't dead like most of the rest of IRC. Love to have you regardless! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sloppy-svetlana · 2020-08-24 02:29 NSFW content has and always will be allowed, we're all adults here. Please mark `NSFL` content as such, though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sloppy-svetlana · 2020-08-24 02:39 Some IRC clients do support "modern features", but the protocol itself has nothing to do with inline image previews. So, its something you can do if you really want but personally I feel like text-only is a strength. We mostly just use `$favorite_pastebin` to share links to things. Not too hard to set up a keybinding for it. Check out: 1. [https://convos.chat/](https://convos.chat/) 2. [https://kiwiirc.com/](https://kiwiirc.com/) 3.
