00:06 <@nop> haha

00:06 < |EN3RGY|> ok

00:07 <@nop> ok

00:07 <@nop> anyway

00:07 < |EN3RGY|> ok jeremiah_

00:07 <@nop> RC3 is here, and it includes what was requested as well as bugfixes

00:07 <@nop> version is definitely there this time :)

00:07 <@nop> so we're all happy

00:07 < {Due}> nop, before of that, waht is RC3 ?

00:07 <@nop> oh

00:07 <@nop> Release Candidate 3 of 1.1

00:07 < {Due}> ajam

00:08 <@nop> the neat thing about it, is the next version will be ...

00:08 <@nop> 1.1 STABLE!!!

00:08 <@nop> 1.1.0 STABLE

00:08 <@nop> so we have room for error ;)

00:08 < Rav-> haha

00:08 <@nop> we'll take the freent approach

00:08 < {Due}> nop i know about this soft just 5 minuts ago, plz tell me what this does

00:08 <@nop> build 500392938103967

00:08 <@nop> Due - http://help.invisiblenet.net

00:08 <@mids> {Due}: we will help you later

00:08 < {Due}> oka

00:09 <@nop> ok

00:09 <@nop> 3) Security Advisory

00:09 <@nop> accidentally came upon some weaknesses in Adelphia's PowerLink Network that is crucial to privacy

00:09 <@nop> so I felt the need to send them an advisory

00:09 <@nop> and post it to iip-dev list

00:09 < Debrys> Due: http://www.invisiblenet.net/iip/aboutMain.php take a look at this page....... and also the interview and docs....... most of the things you're asking yourself get answered there :) they're really no nonsense page..... pure info and straight to the point

00:10 <@nop> anyway

00:10 <@nop> if any users use adelphia

00:10 * {Due} reading ;)

00:10 <@nop> that is the reason I posted it

00:10 <@nop> for the benefit of our users

00:10 <@nop> as they host 5.5 million customers

00:10 <@nop> so we might have a few

00:11 <@nop> hopefully they will adhere to the advisory and fix it

00:11 <@nop> if not

00:11 <@nop> it will be publicized 30 days from the date

00:11 <@nop> which will apply a bit of pressure to fix the problem

00:11 <@nop> moving on

00:11 <@nop> Connection issue

00:11 <@nop> with the upgrade

00:11 <@nop> a lot of people probably have been shutting off their previous rc2 relay

00:11 <@nop> and turning on rc3

00:12 <@nop> this probably will happen over a span of a couple weeks

00:12 <@nop> most people aren't consistant with keeping track of upgrade day

00:12 <@nop> also

00:12 <@nop> there were a few times this past week that the colocation facility of the ircd server had some network maintenance

00:12 <@nop> this caused a few hiccups

00:12 <@nop> and it may have beend difficult to get on

00:12 <@nop> this is over

00:13 <@nop> and it should be pretty clean (other than relays dropping from time to time)

00:13 < jeremiah_> will a relay notify the admin when it should be updated?

00:13 <@nop> as in the IIP software notify?

00:13 <@mids> currently, no

00:13 <@nop> the relay admin?

00:13 <@nop> that should be optional

00:13 <@nop> for debatable anonymity reasons

00:13 < jeremiah_> yeah, but it isn't an option right now, correct?

00:13 <@codeshark> nop: maybe a simple version check would help

00:13 <@nop> correct it is not

00:14 <@nop> definitely an option that could appear in 1.1

00:14 <@nop> stable

00:14 <@nop> but I can't promise that

00:14 <@nop> as we want to keep changes to a minimum

00:14 < jeremiah_> ok

00:14 <@mids> I suggest we dont put it in

00:14 <@mids> only fix bugs

00:14 <@nop> as well do I for this version

00:14 <@codeshark> yes, no new features

00:15 <@hezekiah> I agree.

00:15 <@nop> ok

00:15 <@mids> are there any bug reports yet?

00:15 <@nop> I know that codeshark had one

00:15 <@codeshark> yeah, couldn't send mail, damn invisiblenet ;)

00:16 <@nop> haha

00:16 <@nop> send it when you can

00:16 <@nop> there's a couple of firewall questions

00:16 <@codeshark> iip.log, isproxy.ini, mynode.ref, seed.rnd are stored in current directory instead of ~iip/.iip dir

00:16 <@nop> I think we might have to be more clear that 6667 isn't the only connection that should be open

00:17 <@nop> can you officially send it as an email

00:17 <@nop> it helps for tracking

00:17 <@codeshark> doesn't work ;)

00:17 <@nop> mail shoudl work

00:17 <@mids> nop: do you mean firewall rules for outgoing connections?

00:18 <@nop> yes

00:18 <@mids> ok

00:18 <@nop> I don't think all users realize how it works

00:18 <@mids> yeah we can add that to the firewall chapter of the FAQ

00:18 <@nop> ok

00:18 <@mids> or create that one if it doesnt exist

00:18 <@nop> anyway, cs can you submit it to our sourceforge bug report page

00:18 < {Due}> ok, one second

00:19 < {Due}> may i ask something?

00:19 <@nop> hold

00:19 <@nop> what's next on agenda

00:19 <@mids> question round!

00:19 <@nop> ok

00:19 <@nop> due

00:19 < {Due}> ;)

00:19 <@nop> you can ask

00:19 < {Due}> oka

00:19 <@codeshark> nop: ok

00:20 < {Due}> 1) mids says tha this servers is anonymoues

00:20 < {Due}> anonymous

00:20 < {Due}> <mids> we dont know where the server is

00:20 < {Due}> newsserver1.ussc.com

00:20 <@nop> that's a relay

00:20 <@nop> 1 of many

00:20 <@nop> your peers protect you

00:20 * Neo stands in question queue

00:21 < {Due}> but what is the meaning of all that?

00:21 < {Due}> i mean, all the ircu servers

00:21 <@mids> I'll try to help {Due} in private

00:21 < {Due}> has vhost

00:21 < {Due}> oka mind

00:21 <@nop> neo yes

00:21 <@mids> pop queue, neo

00:21 < Neo> Ok.

00:22 < Neo> nop: can you please give us:

00:22 < Neo> diff 'invisible internet' 'tarzan'

00:22 < Neo> thoughts please.

00:22 <@nop> I need to finish my read on tarzan before I can answer that

00:22 <@nop> but they are similar

00:22 <@nop> but I find some problems with tarzan

00:22 * jeremiah_ would like a url that describes tarzan

00:23 <@nop> neo do you have the url handy

00:23 < Neo> http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/tarzan/index.html

00:23 < jeremiah_> thank you

00:23 <@nop> I'll tell you what neo

00:23 <@nop> when I finish my read

00:23 <@nop> I will send you an email

00:23 <@nop> on my thoughts

00:24 <@hezekiah> What if you just submit the email to iip-dev?

00:24 <@nop> ok

00:24 < Rav-> can i make a suggestion

00:24 < Rav-> for the node.ref etc files

00:24 <@nop> there are aspects that can be fully utilized from tarzan

00:24 < Neo> nop: thanks

00:24 < Rav-> store them in user home directories

00:24 <@hezekiah> That would be nice.

00:25 < Rav-> so its easier to secure a proxy

00:25 < Rav-> and have it update noninteractively

00:27 < Debrys> ahem:....... it would be nice if i could use IIP withouth installation and copied file....... i.e. copy the files on a disk......... go to someone with a pc and irc-client........ run IIP from disk withouth any files copied to the hard-disk....... so i would be thankfull if this user-home-dirs thingie would be an option

00:29 <@mids> currently it _should_ look in several places

00:29 <@mids> current directory, homedir

00:29 <@mids> and system wide directory

00:29 <@mids> I dont remember in what order that happens

00:29 < jeremiah_> it would also good to be able to run the system from memory w/o config files so someoen could use it and then delete it easily (not sure how possible this is right now)

00:29 < Debrys> okay, thanks for the info mids

00:30 <@nop> knoppix

00:30 <@nop> www.knoppix.net

00:30 <@mids> Debrys: but codeshark just reported a bug on that, so it might not work :)

00:30 <@codeshark> Debrys: yes, there's a problem with this feature

00:30 <@codeshark> some files are stored in local directory

00:30 < xcasex> jeremiah_: just mount a portion of ram to the filesystem D:

00:30 < xcasex> :D

00:30 < Debrys> well, i'm okay if i know it will work in the future :)

00:31 < Debrys> its just a possibility i would miss if it would be discarded in future development

00:31 < Rav-> from memory only the node.ref file needs to be local.. is that right?

00:32 <@nop> 7and listen.ref

00:32 <@nop> and

00:32 < Debrys> cs: local dir is okay....... because the local dir would be the diskette?

00:32 <@nop> and isproxy.ini

00:32 < Rav-> yeah thats right

00:32 < Rav-> 3 files

00:32 <@nop> although

00:32 < Debrys> the only problem would be if its run from a cd........ but thats okay to me

00:32 <@mids> you can specify the file location if you run isproxy

00:32 <@mids> try: isproxy -h

00:32 <@mids> if will give an overview of options

00:33 < Debrys> °nods°

00:33 < Rav-> atm i have those 3 files rw for users since iip starts as a user daemon not a system daemon

00:34 <@nop> ok

00:34 <@nop> I'll bb in a bit

00:35 <@mids> other questions?

00:35 < Debrys> not for now or 1.1

00:35 < Rav-> mmm... update notification?

00:35 < Rav-> wouldnt be anonymous i guess

00:36 <@mids> Rav-: the server could send a control message

00:36 < Rav-> okay

00:36 <@mids> atually it already sends the version I think

00:36 <@mids> but then again

00:36 <@mids> if I run a public relay

00:37 <@mids> what should the relay do if it sees that it is too old?

00:37 < Rav-> you could include it in node.ref

00:37 < Rav-> dunno

00:37 < jeremiah_> it could be given the option of emailing the admin

00:37 < jeremiah_> or anonymail

00:37 <@mids> yeah maybe

00:37 < Debrys> what if clients get to know about a new version from other clients..... not the server? this could also work in a decentralized network........ since if update notification is server dependant it wouldn't work when IIP goes decentralized?

00:38 < Rav-> yeah thats why i was thinking node.ref

00:38 <@mids> I dont think it is possible to do it in a decentralized environment

00:38 <@mids> unless you sign those messages by the IIP development team

00:38 <@mids> since otherwise it would be too easy to send fake messages

00:38 < hezekiah> Right

00:39 < Debrys> thats true

00:39 < Rav-> hmm

00:39 <@mids> actually

00:39 <@mids> once it is fully distributed

00:39 <@mids> it could well be that there are multiple version

00:39 < Debrys> but would it be THAT evil if a fake "new version" message is received? except of being annoying?

00:39 <@mids> +s

00:39 <@mids> and clones etc

00:40 <@mids> Debrys: it would be easy to do, and make it not useful anymore

00:40 < Rav-> that should be a good case for update notification

00:40 < Debrys> okay

00:40 <@mids> what would be better is the admins subscribing to the IIP development mailinglist

00:40 < Rav-> dont know how you would dist the message

00:40 <@mids> :)

00:40 <@mids> maybe we should make other mailinglists in the future

00:40 <@mids> like iip-announce

00:41 < xcasex> dont forget the-iip-133+3

00:41 * jeremiah_ has to go

00:41 < jeremiah_> bye

00:41 < jeremiah_> will login later

00:41 < Rav-> when you say distributed, do you mean as part of a decentralised iip network or do you mean you are releasing the server daemon for use on other networks

00:41 < hezekiah> bye

00:44 <@mids> Rav-: decentralized

00:46 < hezekiah> Well, I'm off. Bye everyone.

00:47 <@mids> ok

00:47 <@mids> hereby I declare the meeting beeing over

00:47 <@mids> see you next week, same time, same place

00:48 <@mids> feel free to hang around a bit

00:48 <@mids> and if there are more questions / comments, ask em in #iip or #anonymous
