just mute joins/parts?

gingeropolous: is it reasonable to expect every person to do that?

That's kinda like saying we don't need to ban spammers, just mute them

If a regular user was to continuously join and leave, at some point I think its reasonable to do something about it

I'm curious how long it would take people to get mad if someone joined and left every minute or something

Its literally dozens of join/part spams, multiple times a day, every day

What's the root cause of the frequent matrix disconnects?

Sarang: matrix has garbage servers that constantly die

We could host our own relay, which would fix it in theory

But matrix is just straight up overloaded and I don't think it will be fixed any time soon

I see

Quite unfortunate

The official matrix relays that is

Yeah.

So the only practical options are either to ignore it or remove the relay from channels?

(afaik they have no profit incentive to upgrade their infra)

Ignore it, remove the relay, or self host the relay

The third option does exist

Would require some configuration from anyone who wants to connect over matrix's federation, but it's a fix

heh, xmr.to is blocking tor exit nodes now too..

there ought to be a channel mode to mute joinparts

azy: what client are you using? most have an option to hide them

i do hide them, <needmoonero90> gingeropolous: is it reasonable to expect every person to do that?

theyre useful in smaller channels though, kinda

oh :p. that'll teach me to reply to the first message i see after rejoining

you stupid bastard

sorry, slipped out

again a short reminder for everyone who will be at 36c3: today is the last day where you can enter a talk/workshop for our program! frab.riat.at

<kayront "heh, xmr.to is blocking tor exit"> now they show their true face.

lol

decent-username[: they block Tor exit nodes because they want you to use their hidden service

instead of being MITM'd by some random exit node

oh

:3 I knew that.

bF is a saint of monero, he only has our best interests at heart <3

https would stop that no?

they most likely block them due to regulatory issues

yeah id imagine so

if you depend on a centralized service you are doing it wrong anyway

its a great service for monero

depend on a centralized service for your privacy*

it seems like a fine solution as far as privacy is concerned

or did

i don't think it's for regulatory issues, otherwise they wouldn't offer it as a hidden service

asymptotically: they don’t anymore

:o

rip sorry, i didn't realise

problem is that they aren’t allowed to operate in USA

got to block all US ips?

yep

looks like they are blocking the UK too

and with a hidden service it can be seen as offering a way to bypass it

>XMR.to is currently not available in your region. Apologies.

asymptotically: welcome to my world

that's sad :( when did this happen? i'm sure i used the onion not so long ago

a few months ago or so

i can still play minko.to though :D

right so

Hey fellow Monero users

someone host an onion proxy?

how could you make that trustable?

uhhh vpn?

uhh you think im made of money?

Just setup a hard exit node in a non-regulated country, and proxy your traffic there.

VPS' are quite cheap for that purpose, I used to have several for work, as I had to test some EU gambling sites, and they hard-ban US IP's, even the corportate ones that are supposed to test their deployments. :P

what are the best nonregulated countries?

No idea which ones they're regulating/deregulating. If I had to choose, I'd probally go with some of the various EU locations. It sounds like the UK is out, possibly germany? Tor Browser will tell you where you're exiting if you want to poke around some.

I know I've been blocked for awhile, but that's sort of the US state of crypto.
