Efnet botnet

Lol ok, I didn't count but they looked long so yeah.

One of them might wind up being called walrified to replace the current one since it's so unstable. >_<

u/Dream of Omnimaga September 27, 2015, 06:15:05 PM

Yes. As long as we still have post notifications. Also yukibot should be renamed.

Good job adding more bots juju (we have 6

), it would be a good idea to spread them out more though, 3 of the 4 you added are on port80.se and the main bot on CW is on there too which is less than ideal. Only two are on different servers.

By the way, I completely disabled the YukiBot part of eeezorbot and replaced it with a script I found and modified running on W-801.
I'll take a look at rewriting walrified in python to be simpler and less crashy. It really doesn't need much since it's a clever purpose-built hack.

Spreading bots on 3 servers would definitively be a good idea, especially considering thay port80.se has split often in recent weeks.

u/novenary September 28, 2015, 06:15:03 PM

Juju started doing that.
Also I just added .g and .cw for google and codewalrus search. Just use .g <search string>. .cw is an alias for it that adds site:codewalr.us to filter results to cw only. Tcl isn't too hard so far.

Only problem is that it only works from IRC since eggdrop isn't made for omnomirc support, I'll fix that later by making my own command parser.

Ideally, each bot should be on different EFNet servers. And YukiBot should indeed be replaced by the new Eggdrop botnet, which should be more reliable.

Anyway, we have 6 of them on 6 different servers across the world now, I think we should be okay

I should add which bot is on which server.

W-801 - rick.codewalr.us (CW's server)
W-802 - walrus.noip.me (Streetwalrus' place)
W-803 - pinkiepie.juju2143.ca (Juju's place)
W-804 - withg.org
W-805 - sorunome.de
W-806 - creativity-kitchen.com

Hehe yes, thanks Juju for putting one everywhere you could. :3

I think the URL title bot should not repost the URL. It's kinda redundant. Maybe just the page title.

And thanks guys

u/novenary October 01, 2015, 12:10:39 PM

It doesn't post the url (it did by default). I modified it so that it only posts the domain (and it actually pulls the domain from redirects too so goo.gl links and similar will show which site they link to).

u/novenary October 04, 2015, 07:50:18 AM

Fixed I| being kicked automatically.

u/Dream of Omnimaga October 04, 2015, 09:24:37 PM

Ah ok because when it posts the domain name it makes the line of text longer. Also sometimes the bot will return HTML code instead of a title. >.<

u/novenary October 04, 2015, 10:35:02 PM

Yeah I suppose the HTML parsing stuff in that script isn't great. I'm too lazy to look at it for now.

u/Dream of Omnimaga October 04, 2015, 11:16:25 PM

By the way, since we don't have much to hide about this botnet, shouldn't this topic be moved outside the staff section like most non-private stuff?

u/Yuki October 04, 2015, 11:25:38 PM

I'd create a new topic and introduce the botnet to our users properly.

u/Dream of Omnimaga October 04, 2015, 11:39:55 PM

We could always put the bot namees in the first post too, rather than just create a news and second topic about it. Especially that the newsletter is coming soon (and is already a few days late)
