BulletCatcherWhen you ask about host:port, I assume you mean of the server.  I suggest using both host and port in case there is NAT or a reverse proxy involved on the server side that could have distinct server hosts on the back end.  That would be suboptimal for lag, of course, but it could happen.00:48
blast007I was also forgetting that a hostname could have multiple hosting keys registered, so a shared server could have multiple operators using the same hostname00:51
BulletCatcherYup.00:52
BulletCatcherThat's more likely to happen than my NAT/proxy scenario.00:53

ZehraJuest: I was joking about those changes. :p20:26
Zehrablast007: Relating to the possibility of clients using the `GETOKEN` action. How would this impact the use of `-advertise`?20:28
ZehraSince at one time, we did have where some of the popular servers were solely advertised to the `verified` group some years back.20:29
ZehraSo I'm not sure how it would impact/handle any servers which may use the `-advertise` option.20:31
blast007there'd still be auth info sent to the LIST action, but it could skip token generation if nameport is provided20:37
Zehrasounds good20:38

JuestLantizia: blast007, as far as im told, no motivation to bring it back either, so consider it dead23:20
OkinaMataraPretty much the only other additional factors infobot had were lart, info and karma, IIRC.23:23
OkinaMataraI find it an interesting option, but at the same time, better documentation resolves much of the need for a bot.23:25
OkinaMataraLogs are still useful though.23:25
blast007technically BZNotify could have factoids, but I don't have that plugin enabled23:26
JuestOkinaMatara: blast bots replaced it, we're good23:34
OkinaMataraJuest: I phrased it badly. Logs being still useful was in reference to documentation resolving much of the need for a bot.23:36
JuestOkinaMatara: im aware, wasnt talking about that23:39
OkinaMataraMy bad, I misinterpreted.23:41
