[11:39:25] * stranger joined #lobby

[11:43:06] ~ Xandrah wb

[11:43:09] ~ Xandrah :P

[11:43:15] stranger ty!

[11:43:23] ~ Xandrah And yeah a channel can be made for whatever world wants it

[11:43:41] ~ Xandrah Or setup global for how many worlds want to be linked to a central chat

[11:43:44] ~ Xandrah Would be pretty cool

[11:44:38] stranger in principle in DW the bot could also be multi-intance and "be" in several worlds, current SDK supports that

[11:44:48] stranger but I never got as far... :)

[11:45:22] stranger so maybe for now a bot per world it is

[11:46:05] ~ Xandrah yeah that would be neat

[11:46:30] stranger the tricky part is of course it only works if people run those bots consistently, otherwise it's nice to play with but is not really useful as a service because the bot would be mostly offline

[11:47:08] stranger especially e.g. for world owners themselves - they would maybe want to connect with their world from somewhere, but when they are offline their computer is off too

[11:47:34] stranger not everyone runs their own servers like us :)

[11:48:40] ~ Xandrah Indeed nobody self hosts worlds in dw anyway, so id most likely host the instances

[11:48:50] ~ Xandrah And to worlds that want it, and need it :P

[11:48:59] stranger but that's a possible step in the future, first of course is to test how it works, for that no "service" running is necessary

[11:49:16] stranger nevertheless just for me to know, your serv is running linux of course?

[11:50:18] ~ Xandrah The main server is linux yeah, and the uniserver is on a windows vm on a linux server haha

[11:50:25] ~ Xandrah Mostly because the software is windows only

[11:50:41] ~ Xandrah IRC etc, websites all on the linux host

[11:50:42] stranger I though something like that. so you'd prefer running the bot natively if you do it

[11:50:50] ~ Xandrah Yeah

[11:51:29] stranger btw for server running it might be not quite as efficient as server apps should be... but that's again something for the future maybe

[11:51:43] stranger currently I'll plug in IRC support and we'll see how it works

[11:53:13] stranger if you know a good C++ IRC client library feel free to share, otherwise I'll find something myself

[11:55:47] stranger many I find seem abandoned, but I guess considering IRC age something that worked 6 years ago still works today?... :)

[11:56:33] ~ Xandrah Most are abandoned it seems there is one that the community still sponsor

[11:56:37] ~ Xandrah which is HexChat

[11:56:42] ~ Xandrah thats on github

[11:57:06] ~ Xandrah And IRC is slowly seeing a revival because of the world today hah

[11:58:39] stranger hmmm hmm "HexChat is a discontinued Internet Relay Chat client and is a fork of XChat." - from Wikipedia

[11:59:22] stranger ha, it's good, maybe people will find better chat apps

[12:00:31] stranger I still think XMPP is also good and more modern/powerful. Perhaps you can try it as a user first to see if you want to set up a server

[12:01:16] stranger my bot can support both (or more) simultaneously though, I made it modular already. Need just to plug in the right lib and write a snippet of code to wrap it

[12:01:19] ~ Xandrah I am going to set up a server for it too, ive set up a complete network for IRC

[12:01:29] ~ Xandrah even has services nickserv chanserv etc

[12:01:37] ~ Xandrah Ohhh nice

[12:01:41] stranger cool :)

[12:02:40] stranger btw you said ppl can't see my domain, but I think I see yours (ok you have a "real" domain netadmin.deltaworlds.com) but I think I also saw one for a guest connected here yesterday

[12:02:47] stranger was something-something verizon.com

[12:02:56] stranger which I could guess means USA :)

[12:05:01] ~ Xandrah Yeah that wasnt me

[12:05:02] ~ Xandrah lol

[12:05:13] ~ Xandrah Yeah nobody can see your ip only the handle

[12:05:38] ~ Xandrah for example what I see because im netadmin user@Clk-9CFCE049.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de) stranger

[12:05:54] stranger right but the "handle" I don't set up myself do I? it is related to my ISP?

[12:06:01] stranger still learning how IRC works :)

[12:06:03] ~ Xandrah Its the isp yeah

[12:06:13] ~ Xandrah It always sends that because ISP's like to be nosey

[12:06:27] ~ Xandrah But the server will never show a user your ip address

[12:06:45] stranger okay... so that means there's some privacy implications (I don't mind you seing it, just in general)

[12:06:58] ~ Xandrah Yeah thats irc in general BUT

[12:07:02] stranger because ISP already tells you quite a bit

[12:07:04] ~ Xandrah you can also hide that more with a chost

[12:07:09] ~ Xandrah vhost

[12:07:51] ~ Xandrah for example /hostserv request

[12:08:29] ~ Xandrah but youd need to register your nickname with /nickserv register first

[12:08:49] ~ Xandrah This prevents anyone stealing your nickname

[12:10:28] stranger ah ah I see, so now I'm bit like "tourist" here :)

[12:11:38] ~ Xandrah Yeah until you register ya

[12:14:16] stranger testing

[12:15:14] stranger this interface is looking so oldschool, text commands, passwords in plain :))

[12:16:28] ~ Xandrah haha yeah

[12:16:34] ~ Xandrah thats irc for you

[12:16:49] ~ Xandrah but also you can use more modern methods to identify your nick sasl etc

[12:16:57] ~ Xandrah or using a modern web client

[12:17:05] ~ Xandrah https://chat.deltaworlds.com for example

[12:17:05] Omega The Lounge

[12:17:21] stranger for hostserv what should the domain be? one I own or one you provide such as deltaworlds.com?

[12:17:59] stranger currently I'm using Konversation from KDE. not sure if it's considered "modern" :)

[12:18:14] stranger just cause I already had it installed

[12:19:03] ~ Xandrah you can make up a fake one

[12:19:06] ~ Xandrah whatever you want

[12:19:26] ~ Xandrah Its just a added security layer if you dont want your isp showing even a hint of what you use

[12:24:09] ~ Xandrah so now if you do /hostserv on

[12:24:16] ~ Xandrah it will activate your fake hostname

[12:24:54] * tactics joined #lobby

[12:25:19] ~ Xandrah Hey there

[12:25:24] * tactics quit (Quit: Client closed)

[12:25:28] ~ Xandrah oh lol

[12:27:46] ~ Xandrah Alright I have to go do some rl stuff, but I will be back

[12:27:55] * Xandrah quit (Quit: Leaving)
