[19:29] jfw: welcome matthewjablack, how did the irc client selection & setup go?
[19:30] matthewjablack: it ended up being pretty easy
[19:30] matthewjablack: had limechat already downloaded
[19:30] matthewjablack: just entered server details
[19:31] jfw: alright, not bad
[19:31] jfw: hm, looks like the topic message got lost somewhere along the way here, I should take care of that
[19:31] matthewjablack: now I'm just worried about msgs persisting. that's why I use to run it on my 24/7 lenovo laptop with weechat
[19:32] jfw: that's one advantage of using the public channel here, there's persisent logs fully searchable & linkable on the web
[19:33] jfw: there we go
[19:33] matthewjablack: that's awesome. I guess no good solution for DMs unless I run weechat
[19:34] jfw: in theory there are bouncers you can run on a server, though none supported here so far.
[19:35] jfw: there's also some bots here, like sourcerer who takes the logs and quotes the references, and wotbot who handles key registration and ratings
[19:36] jfw: !w help
[19:36] wotbot: Available commands: hi, help, register, up, down, key, rate, unrate, rated
[19:40] nekoluce: omg you guys started the chat for may xD
[19:56] jfw: luz wanted to have that 'first post' status again...
[20:01] jfw: but in a word, the WoT provides the tools to bind the convenience of irc nicknames to the stability of long-term RSA identities, and on that basis to declare and check up on social references.
[20:27] matthewjablack: that's awesome. so that replaces nickserv I'm guessing
[20:51] jfw: pretty much, we haven't had enough hostilities in here yet to need a full lineup of defenses but wotbot can already manage voice permissions if we enable channel moderation
[20:52] matthewjablack: nice
[23:33] dorion: matthewjablack, welcome !
[23:34] nekoluce: Happy labor day guys
