[2026-06-10T11:52:33Z] <decipaliz> midfavila: hey, kris_ wanted me to ping you and say that libera chat banned his vpn
[2026-06-10T15:17:31Z] <dery> WAT
[2026-06-10T16:58:10Z] <decipaliz> by the way, he's also available on oftc
[2026-06-10T19:41:59Z] <definitelynotkri> right so libera literally banned my fucking account seemingly
[2026-06-10T19:42:04Z] <definitelynotkri> for using airvpn
[2026-06-10T19:42:21Z] <definitelynotkri> i guess ill send an email but im kinda extremely pissed off
[2026-06-10T19:44:46Z] <definitelynotkri> im also kris_ on oftc, atm im connected via cellular since id really rather not expect a cloak to do its job
[2026-06-10T19:46:42Z] <definitelynotkri> i saw some posts about this on reddit and i guess it might be a mistake but generally libera staff seem to be like >just pay for a vps bro
[2026-06-10T19:48:14Z] <definitelynotkri> my fucking gaming laptop was also fried by the ramen incident midfavila
[2026-06-10T19:48:26Z] <definitelynotkri> banger day im having
[2026-06-10T19:49:58Z] <definitelynotkri> I'm definitely not going to pay for a vps just for a bouncer, I'll just fuck off if this ends up being a situation
[2026-06-10T20:22:26Z] <sad_plan> thats what you get for not giving your ip to someone on the internet who have no business having your ip :P lol
[2026-06-10T20:54:01Z] <definitelynotkri> yeah, right?
[2026-06-10T20:55:23Z] <definitelynotkri> at least this channel is logged so i can pop in and out
[2026-06-10T20:56:17Z] <definitelynotkri> i gave libera a ping on mastodon earlier today because this is so irritating that i kinda wanted to make it public
[2026-06-10T20:56:32Z] <definitelynotkri> i dont expect to get a response there but still
[2026-06-10T21:14:06Z] <dery> bruh
[2026-06-10T21:14:27Z] <dery> cant at least they allowlist specific sasl logins?
[2026-06-10T21:14:43Z] <dery> why the hell blanket ban a whole ass vpn
[2026-06-10T21:16:46Z] <definitelynotkri> dery: i had been connected with sasl for a really long time with that setup
[2026-06-10T21:17:05Z] <definitelynotkri> up until this morning you just had to sasl auth with an account you didnt register on a known vpn
[2026-06-10T21:17:07Z] <definitelynotkri> which is logical
[2026-06-10T21:17:34Z] <definitelynotkri> i just sent an email, we'll see but im annoyed
[2026-06-10T21:18:02Z] <definitelynotkri> the disconnect message seems to imply an actual ban given it tells me to email bans@libera.chat for more information
[2026-06-10T21:18:28Z] <definitelynotkri> i dont want to hook my bouncer up to cellular to try it without airvpn
[2026-06-10T21:19:35Z] <definitelynotkri> if they dont lift it im just going to fuck off and live out of oftc on irc i guess
[2026-06-10T21:20:19Z] <definitelynotkri> or sign up for some xmpp server and hope most people here can chat with me there
[2026-06-10T21:24:15Z] <definitelynotkri> oftc seems to just allow vpns period
[2026-06-10T21:41:34Z] <dery> let's hope it's just a mistake
[2026-06-10T21:45:27Z] <definitelynotkri> hopefully, i haven't done anything wrong but idk why they would issue a ban to just anyone on airvpn
[2026-06-10T21:48:55Z] <sad_plan> definitelynotkri: thats what you get for not giving up your ip to people who have no business having your ip :P
[2026-06-10T21:49:59Z] <definitelynotkri> what happens when someone from some uber oppressive country decides they wanna get on libera
[2026-06-10T21:50:03Z] <definitelynotkri> they gonna ban them too?
[2026-06-10T21:50:20Z] <definitelynotkri> especially airvpn given they hand out free access to people in places like china iirc
[2026-06-10T22:11:19Z] <sad_plan> you can actually access libera though Tor network, so I suppose no
[2026-06-10T22:12:33Z] <sad_plan> nevertheless, I was being sarcastic. youve been so adamant about your setup, and using a vpn, so it was kinda funny that you got banned all of a sudden
[2026-06-10T22:15:02Z] <sad_plan> I really did a number on myself yesterday. Im messing around with conty, and the goal is for to work under oasis. and because of ubase's mount doesnt have -R and so on. I edited one of the script which runs umount to be sure. and I forgot to prepent $bootstrap before the filesystems, so when I ran the script, it unmounted /proc /sys /dev
[2026-06-10T22:15:06Z] * sad_plan sighs
[2026-06-10T22:15:50Z] <sad_plan> I only now discovered the issue, and I think ive rebooted my machine 3 times before seeing the issue lol
[2026-06-10T22:22:41Z] <definitelynotkri> just got an email back, they're not going to allow airvpn due to excessive abuse apparently
[2026-06-10T22:22:48Z] <definitelynotkri> yet they let people connect through tor, lmfao
[2026-06-10T22:23:36Z] <definitelynotkri> and yes i was adamant about my setup, it worked so well for a long time and cut my costs given i dont have the money to pay for a vps
[2026-06-10T22:26:48Z] <definitelynotkri> so what, i need to set up a tor router now? how long until they ban that too, kiss my ass
[2026-06-10T22:27:16Z] <definitelynotkri> I'm having a really bad day.
[2026-06-10T22:31:38Z] <definitelynotkri> it was already the case that you had to register the nick without a vpn meaning they already had the real IP address initially for airvpn users so the "abuse" thing is comical to me
[2026-06-10T22:40:54Z] <sad_plan> the justifcations can often feel unfair, but I find that being mad about this, aswell as other things is just a waste of energy. just let this be another issue in our daily lives, and just fix it. like when your machine doesnt boot, because you messed soemthing up, or someone else messed up up on an update
[2026-06-10T22:54:15Z] <definitelynotkri> unfair is one thing, illogical is another but yes it's a waste of energy
[2026-06-10T22:54:30Z] <definitelynotkri> as is bothering to set something else up for this
[2026-06-10T22:56:04Z] <definitelynotkri> tor, other vpn providers, etc are just as if not more prone to abuse so i can't help but assume those will be blocked shortly as well
[2026-06-10T22:57:47Z] <sad_plan> that might be the case too. but atleast with tor, theres some official documentation for it. so maybe not. i dunno. time will tell I suppose
