piss tags for piss net
ive made a piss tag module for unreal! if you are on a pissnet server with it loaded, currently only pissnet.cheapiesystems.com,
then you can use +draft/pissing (and some other stuff too) client tags!
pissgrade
pissgrade is a modified version of downgrade that supports these fancy new pissnet tags, so everyone can see when you are pissing!

stop using spamhaus on irc
they block like half the residential ip ranges
ITS. FOR. EMAIL. SPAM. you wont catch any irc spammers.
angry andrew deletes leenode
lol he switched the network software to inspircd+anope (yuck[1]) and did not even attempt to convert the services db, deleting everyone's nicks and channels, presumably so he can link freenode to irc.com/snoonet (his other failure of an irc network)
repeating what i said in my previous post, but honesty at this point it seems like he has a secret agenda to make everyone go to libera.chat

leenode is falling down
leenode wouldve run pretty much fine after the takeover, but andrew decided it would be a good idea to take over all channels that mention another network in the topic
when asked about it, he makes vague responses about how freenode needs decentralization
i have no clue how he managed to fuck it up this bad, like wtf andrew, you had one job, this wouldve worked out perfectly fine and you would still have one of the biggest irc networks, but no, you had to attempt vender lock-in. now everyone, including people who considered staying, hates you.
what was that you said about decentralization?
crazy conspiracy theory, but maybe andrew wants people to leave..... then irc will be more decentralized with people on smaller nets... is this andrew lee's master plan all along?
thats the only explaination for this absolutely idiotic behavior i can think of, but maybe i am overestimating His Highness
oh did i mention that he's randomly klining the old staff for no reason? lol

ah nope, you should not use anope
heres a few reasons why i do not like it.
and sure, most of these issues can be mitigated by knowlegeable opers that know how to configure it and the ircd in a sane way, eg someone who has ever touched a well-configured irc network before, but since anope markets itself as the "easy to setup" option, this almost never happens.
no set accountname
i really dont understand the logic of this one... its not hard to make another account so its not like this is stopping abuse. it only prevents legitimate users from changing their name who want to keep their age/settings/permissions/vhosts/etc, which an abuser would not care about.
edit: apperently you can but its called display. why the fuck it's called that? i have no clue
your accountname can expire
apperently the nick that equals your accountname can expire while using a grouped nick, and if it does, your accountname is randomly(?) set to one of your other nicks... what
so i guess you can change your accountname by letting your accountname nick expire and hope it randomly chooses the right one
bad splitride protection
yeah, the ircd is supposed to protect this from happening, but still
"secure"ops
this is a badly named feature that is seldom nessesary. all it does is constantly sync op modes to take away control from the ircd.
the only usecase i can think of would be if you were on erisnet and had a rogue server, but in that case you should be using a different fucking network.
whats even worse is that since "secure" is in the name, channel owners decide to turn it on without knowing what it does, which makes life hell for the other channel ops.
you cant ghost people
it used to be a command in anope, but they decided to remove it.
sure its a bit mean, but its nice to be able to kill people maliciously using your nicks
inconsistant accountname treatment
large chunks of anope seem to (wrongly) assume that your accountname is your nick. for example CS UNBAN will only remove account extbans if your account is your nick, and it lets you CS AKICK an op while the protect setting is on if you input their accountname when they are using a different nick
it just randomly does stupid shit
like if you connect anope to a network it sometimes just changes the topic of literally every channel for no reason. why? i have no clue

whee i got a thonkpad!
a refurbished thinkpad t420 becuase fuck capitalism :3
its quite nice, the keyboard is lovely, although i keep nudging the trackpoint when typing. i suppose i could get used to that
there appears to be something under the 3 key, and it feels a bit stiffer than the other ones so i will probably clean it later
overall a much-needed upgrade over my previous laptop (a old chromebook i got for free) lol
