There has been some sadness with 'party' recording blank lines. Are any
changes to the source and subsequent binary happening? If so, not recording
blank lines would be a plus.

I'm sad because we appear to have been banned from Freenode.

Sadly, I must confirm that I've been a Russian Bot all along.
It appears that the average Joe's nativity of AI's advancement has been
correct all along.

Apparently Grex IRC is banned from Freenode. After viewing some of the
comments here I can't say I blame the folks at Freenode. That's my 2
cents.

I'm sad because UniSys updated its weather pages today. For something over
twenty years, I've had current weather information on my web page. Today, the
images I used were either deleted or moved. I've looked at the source of
their new pages; they've changed so many things, I can't find the maps and
other items I've used. So "deleted" seems to be more accurate.

I kinda think Steve Ansari Steve.Ansari@noaa.gov is related to Aziz.
They're both from the Carolinas. One writes funny stuff and the other
is an actor.

I'm sad because we're currently banned from the Freenode
IRC network because Grex is on the "DroneBL" list. Staff on
Freenode are looking into getting us unblocked and suggested
that Grex might want to install something called identd.

identd is totally insecure and, frankly, kind of useless.

resp:85 sorry, I didn't mean to come across as flippant.
The issue with ident is that when you connect to some remote
system, the distant end connects back to ident service on the
machine you're connecting from (if it can) and queries it
for who you are by sending some metadata about the your
connection to them.
The first problem is that, with all the firewalling and so
forth used these days, more often than not the distant end
can't connect to the machine you're coming from anyway (either
it'll hit a NAT gateway, or the traffic is just rejected).
The second problem is that there's nothing at all that
prevents your system from straight-up lying to the distant
end.
This protocol never worked particularly well, but it made
more sense when the Internet was much smaller, connections
were generally end-to-end, and most users connected via
machines that could be at least somewhat trusted.
Sadly, identd is a relic from a bygone era.
