<&ToxicFrog>
Approaching it from the other direction, you can easily do slack and IRC in the same client, but I have no idea what an IRC-based UI to Reddit would even look like
11:50
<@TheWatcher>
(Yeah, I have slack and IRC in the same client right now; just need to enable the IRC proxy on slack and you're away. You can do it with discord too, sorta)
11:50
<@TheWatcher>
but reddit...
11:50
<@TheWatcher>
Maybe I'm using reddit wrong? >.>
11:59
<&ToxicFrog>
I'm doing it with discord right now!
11:59
<&ToxicFrog>
I switched to using weeslack for slack, though, since the slack IRC gateway is more than a little half-assed.
12:00
<&jerith>
The slack IRC gateway is pretty dismal.
12:01
<&jerith>
I use it because I have my work IRC/IM client set up the way I like to work, but I also keep the slack app open next to it.

<3 MW templates. They make my life so much easier.

<&ToxicFrog>
jerith: I filed an awful lot of bug reports against and it and while all of them were acked, most of them were never actually addressed. Eventually I gave up.
12:31
<&ToxicFrog>
If weechat is your preferred IRC client, weeslack is so much nicer.
12:31 * Vornicus actually doesn't really have any questions yet though
12:32
<@TheWatcher>
I'm no expert; I just use (and abuse) them a lot.
12:33
<&jerith>
ToxicFrog: Likewise, except I think I gave up sooner.
12:33
<&jerith>
My work IRC client is Adium, because I occasionally need XMPP as well.
12:36
<&ToxicFrog>
Aah
12:36
<&ToxicFrog>
I do my XMPP via bitlbee

18:27

The bot did a lovely job of paging all the people with big hammers, I think
18:31
<&VirusJTG>
yeah, it pinked the big hammer ops for us
18:31
<&VirusJTG>
now, we just wait
18:32
<@Tamber>
I do somewhat wonder how much of a return on their -- admittedly brief -- time investment they get.
18:32
<&VirusJTG>
I always assumed it was like the smap industry for email, even a one percent return is enough becuase the over head is so low
18:32
<&VirusJTG>
spam*
18:32
<@Tamber>
Yeah, but at least there there's some visible way they're making money, y'know?
18:33
<&VirusJTG>
its a .onion, they are selling things I don't want to know about
18:33
<&VirusJTG>
my outlook on humanity is already dark enough
18:33
<&jerith>
It could be someone trying to get the internet pissed off at the place they're "advertising".
18:33
<@Tamber>
They're trying to sell you A Thing™. Kinda hard to make money out of trying to drive people onto an irc server, unless you're hoping that people will hop on to join your #warez and #pr0nz n... ah, that's a point.
18:33
<&VirusJTG>
thats also a possibility
18:34
<&jerith>
That happened to a different network I was on once.
18:34
<&jerith>
Well, a particular channel on that network.
18:35
<&jerith>
Some lamer got banned and then spammed half the internet with "join #thatchannel on irc.thatnetwork".
18:36
<@Tamber>
Hoping for 'counterspam'?
18:37
<&jerith>
A bunch of pissed off people showed up to tell us to stop.
18:37
<@Tamber>
oof.
18:37
<&VirusJTG>
thats far too much work
18:38
<@Tamber>
You underestimate pissed-off lamers.
18:38
<&jerith>
Fortunately the lamer just used the one IP, so we handed out zline instructions.
18:38
<&VirusJTG>
I"m on facebook, no I don't. I'm saying thsts far too much for for ME
18:38
<@Tamber>
(Also, they're probably just buying time on someone else's botnet to do it~)
18:38
<@Tamber>
ahh
18:38
<&McMartin>
They literally have nothing better to do with their time or money
18:39

they can give me the money, I'll buy a lego death star with it and make myself and my wife happy for many hours

18:42
<@Tamber>
Can you blame them?
18:42
<&jerith>
The real danger isn't the lamers, it's the well-meaning incompetents.
18:43
<@Tamber>
Indeed; the road to hell, as they say, is paved with good intentions.
18:44
<&VirusJTG>
No Tamber, I don't blame them.
18:51
<&VirusJTG>
incompetence and complacency are the two most dangerous words in the English language when it comes to electronic or computerized systems.
18:52
<@Tamber>
Complacency is a big bad one in my line of work, too. Sure, those things stay up 99% of the time; but you're still trusting your life to a length of steel-wire-wrapped rubber and some £0.25 plastic&rubber rings.
18:53
<@Tamber>
And when they do go, a tonne of metal tends to come down quite quickly.
18:54
<@Tamber>
But it's usually over fairly quickly; unlike complacency & incompetence assisted with a computer.
19:03
<&VirusJTG>
A computer is less likely to kill you when it crashes how ever
19:13
<@Tamber>
Only slightly.

Hmm. Maybe the answer is to turn off alternate display mode, write the help text to stdout, wait for any input, then return to alternate display mode.

Ok, yeah, that seems to work acceptably.

It would be really nice if os.symlink had an operating mode analogous to `ln -sf`

23:55
<&ToxicFrog>
I ended up just doing it in shell, since this isn't something that needs to be part of the server itself, it's a migration script.
23:56
<&ToxicFrog>
And now the process of writing the documentation has gotten sufficiently unpleasant that I think I need to make some additional changes to the server to make the documentation less awful.
23:56
<&ToxicFrog>
(primarily, giving it a config file in /etc rather than passing everything in the command line, so it doesn't need a wrapper script to be launched via in.telnetd)
