libera/#infobot/ Sunday, 2024-02-25

Lantiziajoerg, sorry just realised I was talking about this in #bzflag and I was already in here13:18
Lantiziado you already get requests to remove info from infobot.rikers.org (as you were speaking about privacy data considerations)13:19
joergsorry, I wouldn't know how to do that14:43
joergI received some half a dozen requests for bringing infobot to libera, but I also don't know how to do that14:44
joergnote that I only have a "reset switch" for rikers.org infobot, and O once had some administrative access via IRC to the bot. Sonce I'm not in FN anymore and I don't know if the bot is in _any_ ORC network anymore, this administrative access is stale since beginning of Libera14:47
joergdamn, s/o/i/ where due14:48
joergI offered to move the bot to my own server, a felt decade ago. I learned this is a nogo because of privacy data in the db14:50
joergI wouldn't do that anymore today14:50
joergot's plain obvious that infobot couldn't simply join same channels by name since they may have changed in migration from FN to Libera, account names of chanops changed, my account name changed (re administrative access to bot) and policies on channels and on network may have changed14:54
Lantiziayou know tim is TimRiker and in #bzflag now?16:18
Lantiziai mean if you were having difficulties emailing him16:18
Lantiziai only know about infobot because whenever I search for info about that game... the infobot.rikers.org site pops up with old freenode-era chats16:19
joergLantizia: I sent emails back when Libera migration happened. I don't see how to make infobot resurrect right now, after years of oblivion17:26
joergit *seems* the valuable infobot factoid database is gone forever17:29
joerghttps://infobot.rikers.org/%23infobot/20210522.html.gz17:35
Lantiziapresumably when you said you once offered to move the bot to your servers, you mean the logs too?17:54
LantiziaI can imagine that'd be a privacy nightmare as you said... although by the looks of things they're in the US currently?17:55
Lantiziain the EU (and other GDPR-compliant places like the UK) I can imagine there would be many take down notices17:55
joergyou only know what privacy related data is in a database when you actually look into that database - or into all the damn code that interfaces to said database22:27
joergand that's not about GDPR or anything, this starts with email addr4esses already, for ~pager feature and bot admin auth22:29
