:)

Good morning

Sylvestre: We're shutting down at noon Eastern, in about 80 minutes

:(

meh

I'd like to say again how grateful I am for the trust and support Mozilla's placed in me and everyone who's worked on this transition. I'll see you all in our new home on Matrix.

last one standing

mhoye, \o/

farewell irc.mozilla.org :)

wonder for how long mozilla has run such network ..

Getting on 20 years, I think.

I've been using irc.mozilla.org since at least 2000 IIRC.

and likely it was there well before that... Using chatzilla the whole time, btw (packaged version for the last while since 57)

I remember this was one of my major places to exchange info, support, commiseration, etc on 9/11

Lots of ex-employees still here, though unclear how many monitor it. fabrice, blassey, even timeless ....

it's easy to let it idle in a corner with a good irc client, not sure im going to achieve the same with irssi+bitlbee+purple-matrix ..

Hi jesup

Yeah, idling w/ irccloud is a breeze

and well worth my subscription

mhoye: well over 20 years

it was around in '98

used to use mIRC

but before that was using DOS based clients...

I preferred vIRC, I also used mIRC, and irssi and a couple of other clients

i remember people using bitchx

I used ShadowIRC (a friend wrote it) on Mac OS

There was also ChatZilla which was cute

At times I used MS Comic Chat :-)

I'm still kicking it old school, with irssi running behind screen.

had great fun trying to get a working tcp/ip stack running on DOS

mhoye: and what do you use for matrix then ?

mhoye: i did that for a long time

the bitlbee/purple integration doesnt feel 100% supported/viable...

fwiw, here's the '98 reference for irc: web.archive.org/web/19991004083648/…tp://www.mozilla.org/community.html

wow, timeless is here...

sorry, should pin to '98 ...

hey KaiRo , ltns

true, hope to see you around in the future again, over on the Matrix or even IRL!

fun how some people who usually power-idle ended up commenting again on this server just in the last few days of it running :)

I like to imagine that the IRC server is running on some Pentium II machine under a desk in mountain view that's just not been touched for 25 years, and turning it off involves unplugging that machine and throwing it out of the window into a skip. Every part of this is nonsense of course, but it's a lovely image.

ouch

I think it would require a bit more processing right ?

maybe more than one server ?

Right, it's probably also insulting nonsense to the people who have worked to keep irc.mozilla.org running all this time :)

used to be able to run irc server on a fairly low spec sun sparc station

(ouch was a focus error, was sending that to someone else)

jgraham (IRC): the problem with the image starts with imaging where in MV it would be, Mozilla moved offices a few times in those years ;-)

but I think at some point in the past it probably was something like that

If anyone wants to mis-paste a password or one-time code into this channel, you've got about 45 minutes.

there were a few different services that proper IT took over at some point that for quite some time before had been "some machine under someone's table with a sticker on it that says 'do not turn off'"

mhoye: OK, I'll start lookinf for a password to paste right away! :p

hunter2

or is a typo enough?

KaiRo: Whatever feels sincere to you, man.

👋 Bye IRC

if I was on mIRC I'd be looking for a wet kipper

123456

password!

:-)

12345

I heard that's the kind of coded that an idiot would have on his luggage

mhoye: are there any plans for the logbot logs to be made archived anywhere?

I've discussed it with glob, but ultimately that's his decision

mhoye: ah just spotted the message on logbot "The logs collected in the 15 years logbot has been running on the Mozilla IRC Network will continue to be availabe for the foreseeable future. "

which is good news :)

firebot: rank

firebot: botsnack

no firebot on Matrix yet?

firebot: slap firebot

firebot: karma firebot

firebot++

Good bye, IRC.

Firebot ... may need some tuning up, if somebody brings it over to Matrix.

Standard8++

And that's the problem, bot.

IanN_Away: there’s various bots that are being implemented for Matrix.

bye y'all. see ya on the next server

End of an era

Start of a new one.

\o/

twenty years at least, maybe 22?

Maybe somewhat related to this now mostly vacant IRC server, CGP Grey just released a fascinating video about tumbleweeds: youtube.com/watch?v=hsWr_JWTZss

~22 from the discussion earlier

dveditz: timeless reckons from 98

did we start IRC right away? would make sense but I don't remember

firebot: karma evilpie

We're a month shy of 22 years for the source code release

Has anybody else already made the connection to The Restaurant at the End of the Universe? I'd check, except that IRC has no native backscroll.

firebot: Karma Seburo

firebot: karma Seburo

mconley: I have in other channels

dveditz: excellent

Thank you firebot

Thank you firebot. You did a good job.

janerik: why am I not surprised this is a thing..

mrgiggles: pun

oh man, karma inflation is underway

take it to #puns:mozilla.org

DenSchub: we used to pre-start all Rust Community meetings with The Final Countdown. People got _very_ creative in finding _all_ the mixes of that song

janerik: nice. :D

chutten: wait, there was a #puns on irc? and i'm learning that NOW?

better make sure to join puns on matrix then

already in, after it was shared on slack!

DenSchub: There's a #puns on Matrix! (I don't know about puns on IRC)

phew. was concerned for a second there.

I'm glad we got one last pun thread in here

C'mon there _has_ to be a pun between britches and "thread"

firebot: karma jandem

Checking all my drawers for appropriate puns

Ah, it was that one last thread that gave out in mrgiggles' pun!

mconley: Did you check under there?

UNDER WHERE?

Two minutes.

firebot: ship it

108

hmm, I thought it did

100

firebot: good bot

inb4 mconley get's klined for spamming

Oh man

evilpie: bah, you have one more karma point

actually, I've never been kickbanned

Too late to get kickbanned

Farewell irc, you served us well

I mean

if somebody wants to kickban me before this closes out, that'd kinda be beautiful

bye IRC

dveditz: go for it?

well, we'll all get kickbanned in a minute or so. soooo

I got kickebaned once for messaging the ops a spammer string

Thank you firebot

jandem++

pastebin from then on

firebot: you'll be remembered

bye!

SEE YOU ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE
