11:52 <decipaliz> midfavila: hey, kris_ wanted me to ping you and say that libera chat banned his vpn

15:17 <dery> WAT

16:58 <decipaliz> by the way, he's also available on oftc

19:41 <definitelynotkri> right so libera literally banned my fucking account seemingly

19:42 <definitelynotkri> for using airvpn

19:42 <definitelynotkri> i guess ill send an email but im kinda extremely pissed off

19:44 <definitelynotkri> im also kris_ on oftc, atm im connected via cellular since id really rather not expect a cloak to do its job

19:46 <definitelynotkri> i saw some posts about this on reddit and i guess it might be a mistake but generally libera staff seem to be like >just pay for a vps bro

19:48 <definitelynotkri> my fucking gaming laptop was also fried by the ramen incident midfavila

19:48 <definitelynotkri> banger day im having

19:49 <definitelynotkri> I'm definitely not going to pay for a vps just for a bouncer, I'll just fuck off if this ends up being a situation

20:22 <sad_plan> thats what you get for not giving your ip to someone on the internet who have no business having your ip :P lol

20:54 <definitelynotkri> yeah, right?

20:55 <definitelynotkri> at least this channel is logged so i can pop in and out

20:56 <definitelynotkri> i gave libera a ping on mastodon earlier today because this is so irritating that i kinda wanted to make it public

20:56 <definitelynotkri> i dont expect to get a response there but still

21:14 <dery> bruh

21:14 <dery> cant at least they allowlist specific sasl logins?

21:14 <dery> why the hell blanket ban a whole ass vpn

21:16 <definitelynotkri> dery: i had been connected with sasl for a really long time with that setup

21:17 <definitelynotkri> up until this morning you just had to sasl auth with an account you didnt register on a known vpn

21:17 <definitelynotkri> which is logical

21:17 <definitelynotkri> i just sent an email, we'll see but im annoyed

21:18 <definitelynotkri> the disconnect message seems to imply an actual ban given it tells me to email bans@libera.chat for more information

21:18 <definitelynotkri> i dont want to hook my bouncer up to cellular to try it without airvpn

21:19 <definitelynotkri> if they dont lift it im just going to fuck off and live out of oftc on irc i guess

21:20 <definitelynotkri> or sign up for some xmpp server and hope most people here can chat with me there

21:24 <definitelynotkri> oftc seems to just allow vpns period

21:41 <dery> let's hope it's just a mistake

21:45 <definitelynotkri> hopefully, i haven't done anything wrong but idk why they would issue a ban to just anyone on airvpn

21:48 <sad_plan> definitelynotkri: thats what you get for not giving up your ip to people who have no business having your ip :P

21:49 <definitelynotkri> what happens when someone from some uber oppressive country decides they wanna get on libera

21:50 <definitelynotkri> they gonna ban them too?

21:50 <definitelynotkri> especially airvpn given they hand out free access to people in places like china iirc

22:11 <sad_plan> you can actually access libera though Tor network, so I suppose no

22:12 <sad_plan> nevertheless, I was being sarcastic. youve been so adamant about your setup, and using a vpn, so it was kinda funny that you got banned all of a sudden

22:15 <sad_plan> I really did a number on myself yesterday. Im messing around with conty, and the goal is for to work under oasis. and because of ubase's mount doesnt have -R and so on. I edited one of the script which runs umount to be sure. and I forgot to prepent $bootstrap before the filesystems, so when I ran the script, it unmounted /proc /sys /dev

22:15 <sad_plan> I only now discovered the issue, and I think ive rebooted my machine 3 times before seeing the issue lol

22:22 <definitelynotkri> just got an email back, they're not going to allow airvpn due to excessive abuse apparently

22:22 <definitelynotkri> yet they let people connect through tor, lmfao

22:23 <definitelynotkri> and yes i was adamant about my setup, it worked so well for a long time and cut my costs given i dont have the money to pay for a vps

22:26 <definitelynotkri> so what, i need to set up a tor router now? how long until they ban that too, kiss my ass

22:27 <definitelynotkri> I'm having a really bad day.

22:31 <definitelynotkri> it was already the case that you had to register the nick without a vpn meaning they already had the real IP address initially for airvpn users so the "abuse" thing is comical to me

22:40 <sad_plan> the justifcations can often feel unfair, but I find that being mad about this, aswell as other things is just a waste of energy. just let this be another issue in our daily lives, and just fix it. like when your machine doesnt boot, because you messed soemthing up, or someone else messed up up on an update

22:54 <definitelynotkri> unfair is one thing, illogical is another but yes it's a waste of energy

22:54 <definitelynotkri> as is bothering to set something else up for this

22:56 <definitelynotkri> tor, other vpn providers, etc are just as if not more prone to abuse so i can't help but assume those will be blocked shortly as well

22:57 <sad_plan> that might be the case too. but atleast with tor, theres some official documentation for it. so maybe not. i dunno. time will tell I suppose
