dr|z3d_ ok, who's running major?
acetone for archiving chat history as public domain
albat hi RN :)
RN aloha albat
RN what is behind that link acetone ?
acetone RN, web interface of major bot
acetone if you are hate public chat logging, I'll disconnect it
RN I am not a big fan
RN does it serve a purpose? is there an opt out mechanism?
RN also, 'public' is a bit vague in scope
acetone RN: push the dot in the message begin and logger ignore it (like this ". bla blah")
RN so I would have to preface everything I type wit a period?
RN --- Blinded message
RN *** giggles
RN that is a bit of an ask
RN small, but still
RN is it only limited to this channel?
acetone RN: I think what this archive is good maretial for future users and i2p history
RN and where is it 'publicly' available?
RN let us say, hypothetically
acetone RN: available on major.acetone.i2p and some my links in Yggdrasil Network and Tor (Tor not started yet)
RN I don't want my nym out there, but am ok with my messages, as long as they are not linked to my nym
RN mmmkay
RN well, if I have the choice, I'd opt for all my messages and mentions of my nick to be replaced by something
RN but if it is running now it is already too late
RN I am not asking you to stop your project
acetone So I still running this logger here or not?) I can stop it and remove any mention of this chat from history
RN just think if a total noob comes into I2P and says things ignorantly
RN well, what channels is it in
RN each channel requires consent according to the rules for IRC2P
RN as I interpret them
RN I haven't said anything doxing myself, so I am ok so far...
RN but you haven't answered my big questions: what channel(s) does it log.... I guess I'll have to go to the link
RN *** falls off chair laughing at not-bob's error page
RN *** reads "Computer says no."
RN hahahhahahhaa
RN thanks dr|z3d or not_bob … love the error page
acetone RN: this logger logging
acetone #i2p-dev
acetone #mail.i2p
acetone #saltr
acetone and some channels from irc.ilita.i2p
acetone so "major" logging channels which I considered important for history
RN I'm ok with those, not sure if other users are. but have you cleared that bot running with an operator in each channel?
RN That would be polite
RN I understand and agree with your primary assumption
RN ugh! I just fired up a new I2P instance and need to remember how to share the susidns stuff between my older one and the new one
RN when do the logs start?
RN seems your eepsite is slashdotting
acetone RN: ok, i wrote in other channel where bot also logging
acetone logging started today
RN ok, well if you contact an op in each channel and get consent, and advise those in the channel(s) acording to the op's requirements that sounds good to me
RN I just worry about the new users
RN that may not know when entering a channel that they are accidentally saying things they should not, like their router port or other identifying info
RN Σ:Đ
RN keep the list of channels operated in easy to find, along with the oper from the channel saying they give their consent
RN people deploy bots without consent all the time, doing you best to do these things lets you show your transparency in motivation and helps with trust
RN imho
acetone RN: thanks for kind words
RN in the case of multiple chan ops get consent from as many as you can
RN always glad to help information be free
RN but also as I get older, see informed consent is important
RN let me retry and see if major will load
RN well, this router is not well integrated yet. I will take a peek at your site later acetone
acetone RN: ok. Web interface of bot JS free so your visit will nice
acetone In one or bit more days I still testing system performance of "major" and he can shortly disconnecting (or reconnecting)
dr|z3d let's see how it goes, acetone, but for future reference, when you introduce a logging bot in the channel it's polite (and network policy) to ask the channel operators first.
dr|z3d ah, it seems zzz just brought you up to speed on policy, too. great.
dr|z3d everyone on best behavior :)
acetone dr|z3d: \o/ all for future users and history
RN well, this router is not well integrated yet. I will take a peek at your site later acetone
RN yes dr|z3d, we were discussing that
RN at least acetone asked. They are making a good effort at doing it right
dr|z3d *** chuckles at acetone's exuberance.
dr|z3d acetone: one thing, which you may have noticed previously. we have an occasional offensive spammer.. if you could remove any spam from the logs, I'd be eternally grateful! :)
acetone dr|z3d: technically it's possible because chat log is simple txt file on the server disk
dr|z3d great, acetone. hopefully won't be needed, but who knows?
T3s|4 acetone: yep, grep for the spammer(s) - and nuke them all! ;p
curdislav how do i prevent i2p+ from using so much data?
itsjustme Like ram or internet data?
curdislav internet data
curdislav itsjustme:
itsjustme curdislav: there is a bandwidth limit option in the console
dr|z3d hi curdislav
dr|z3d forget about the bandwidth limiter, the better bet is to limit the number of participating tunnels your router will host.
dr|z3d in your router.config file in ~/.i2p/ or wherever your profile is stored in not on *nix, add the line router.maxParticipatingTunnels=2000
dr|z3d check how many tunnels you're currently hosting, and adjust that value until your bandwidth is as you like it.
dr|z3d also, if you're using a lot of bandwidth, it's obviously working fine for you :)
dr|z3d if you want a simpler way to modify configs in future, add the line: routerconsole.advanced=true to your router.config file, wait for a few seconds, and then you'll be able to edit configs directly on the /configadvanced page.
dr|z3d you'll see a congestion section appear in the sidebar when advanced mode is active.
dr|z3d both config settings don't require a router restart to take effect.. as soon as you set the max number of participating tunnels, the router will stop hosting part tunnels until the value is met.
dr|z3d I'm recommending limiting participating tunnels over adjusting bandwidth allocation as you'll retain your router's bandwidth class and attract traffic on that basis, which I personally prefer to lowering the router bandwidth tier.
dr|z3d did you get my messages re bandwidth usage, curdislav?
