Operational note for those visiting #fenspace: On Saturday (8/2/14) sandwich.net IRC is moving completely over to SSL. Most modern clients will let you select SSL in the user preferences, so it's not a great hardship. Chatzilla users can connect using /sslserver irc.sandwich.net
Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery FenWiki - Your One-Stop Shop for Fenspace Information "I. Drink. Your. NERDRAGE!" 
What do I need to change on my IRC mal, I've got it set to go right to fenspace without all the fuss as it currently is.
What client do you use?
There should be an option somewhere that lets you enable encyption, or enable SSL ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig?
mIRC....gods do i have to update the bastard
gods now i'm being told i'm blocked as spam i'll download it and try, does it work well from pin drives?
Hexchat man
Much better. And free. Since that's not exactly helpful, however - take a look under your network list if you have it saved somewhere, or wherever mIRC stashes its connection options. It should be labelled as 'enable SSL' or 'enable secure connection' ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig?
hex chat doesnt like fed ex kinkos apparently and no love on the connections options
You shouldn't be. Also. What's a kinko? I've never heard of one?

kinkos is a copy store, basically its a combination office supply store, copy store, and internet cafe without the cafe.
i'm getting an IP ban from Snaphaus as a spambot 
I use Adium on the Mac as my IRC client.
I selected "Enable SSL" in my connection listing for sandwich.net. It still says "ssl handshake failed" when I try to connect. -- Sucrose Octanitrate.

You might also need to tell it to allow the use of an invalid cetificate. Some IRC networks tend to be a bit iffy on having properly valid cert's.

Obviously enough, changing the port fixed the problem. Thanks for pointing it out.

FYI, sandwich seems to have disabled SSLv3 support.
Without warning anyone about it. You will need a client that handles TLS now. ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig? 
There was plenty of warning - at least, there was in the IT security field:

That's why I caught on to it so quickly rather than wondering WTF was wrong with the thing and assuming it was just a server being borked. M I didn't even know Xchat only used SSLv3 and didn't offer an option for TLS. And I know a few people were having issues connecting to the channel anyway with SSL being required by the server now.
I just thought I'd save some wondering on the part of other people. Hexchat, however, supports TLS. ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig?
As does Adium, apparently, as I found out last night.

frag so how can i get this TLS for IRC, or will i have to get yet ANOTHER chat setup
You'll have to patch, upgrade, or change your client software.

appairently its back to being spam when i'm at FedEx Kinkos, no chat with you guys till after the new year. see you then or via pm's on various forums
Does whoever set up the spamhaus filters for sandwich know that XBL really shouldn't be used to ban users because it has a tendency to trap a lot of dynamic IP's?
Especially from people who happen to have subscriber-level NAT, like so many 4G carriers do here. That's three times it's happened. ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig? |
