Description:
Recently got banned from Freenode IRC for client flooding reason, some details of behavior from ticket [freenode.net #226867]: > Not sure what exactly the broken behaviour is (obviously I can see there was a flood of reconnects, but not more detail than that) Joined to ~20 channels, all channels joining occured before NickServ authentication by Polari. Randomly client crashes on new messages/disconnections from channels in case of unauthorized join/connection to #{channel}-unauthorized. Additional info: * package version: extra/polari 3.36.3-1 (gnome-extra) * config and/or log files etc.: not applicable. * upstream bug report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/polari/-/issues/152 Steps to reproduce: 1) Install extra/polari 2) Add Freenode server 3) Open channel list 4) Mark some channels to join (example: archlinux channels, fedora channels, rhel) 5) Get slow performance, and bot ping-backs, crash. 6) Open client again. Client will join channels before NickServ identify 7) Get more channels by bots, which relocate you in *-authorized 8) Repeat 1-2 more times, get ban, mail admins :) Stability and behavior of this package looks terrible (even by upstream bug reports), but it is located in extra repository. Maybe testing/knock to AUR is more safe place for it, not in (gnome-extra) package group? |
