SketchCow: Essentially, there wasn't much if any discussion about OFTC. Yeah, that's also a good network as far as I know. At the risk of splitting hairs, their focus is FOSS development, so hackint's purpose (hacker culture) seems a bit closer to AT's main mission. Also, hackint staff has been very welcoming from the start, and I'm not sure if we could expect the same from OFTC (~4 times larger, |
09:34
🔗
|
JAA |
different mission). For example, hackint is willing to raise the channel join limit for us if needed, which is not something I'd expect on larger networks. |

I will remark that hackint does show an impressive growth for a fledgling irc network, going by netsplit.de stats. |

That doesn't make me any less confused why people think it's necessary to move. |

those are the negative points? |
10:33
🔗

JAA |
Unless you're masochistic, yes. |
10:33
🔗
|
Raccoon |
yeah, the TLS issues are quite unforgivable |
10:34
🔗
|
JAA |
And that list doesn't even include that the web chat thing breaks frequently and isn't fixed for weeks (making our IRC less accessible to newcomers) and some other things. |
10:35

|
JAA |
I elaborated a bit on other downsides to EFnet on https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Talk:Move_Archiveteam_to_Hackint |
10:35
🔗
|
Raccoon |
all the points about nick/topic length limits and individual server diversity and sovereignty are things that racists, communists and fascists complain about. EFNet is a melting pot. |
10:36
🔗
|
JAA |
Not sure if serious or trolling. |
10:36
🔗
|

so-so |
10:36
🔗
|
JAA |
Well, let's cut out the trolling then. |
10:37
🔗
|
Raccoon |
it's also so-so true though. how can server individualism, diversity, strengths and weaknesses set people off so strongly |
10:37
🔗
|
Raccoon |
each bring something to the table |
10:38
🔗
|
JAA |
Because it breaks shit, in particular regarding the different channel join limits and TLS configs etc. |
10:39
🔗
|
Raccoon |
I did acquiesce on TLS |
10:39
🔗
|
JAA |
You have your client configured to use TLS and join 25 channels. You get booted from the network because it's having one of its issues again, you reconnect, and suddenly you only get joined into 20 of the chans because that's the new server's limit, or you don't reconnect at all due to TLS. |

tor is a technical hurdle given abuse |
10:40
🔗
|
JAA |
Yes, one that hackint has solved. |
10:40
🔗
|
Raccoon |
indeed |
10:40
🔗
|
Raccoon |
freenode's solution is to require a user to register with services (a solution efnet can't use) to at least add speedbumps to abuse |
10:41
🔗
|
Raccoon |
how does hackint throttle abusing tor? |
10:41
🔗
|
JAA |
Yes, and register without Tor, compromising the user's privacy. |
10:42
🔗
|
JAA |
I haven't seen much abuse through Tor on hackint so far, but there are good means in place to e.g. ban all unregistered Tor users easily. |
10:43
🔗
|
Raccoon |
so hackint is protected by its infancy and obscurity, which is a plus if you look at it that way |

But I value the strenght of EFNet's loose affiliation agility and resilience to time. Several of the other old networks are just amazon AWS and probably one dude running it all himself |
