I didn't know you'd been moonlighting as a Freenode staffer :). aaronmdjones/freenode-resign-letter.txt https://gist.github.com/aaronmdjones/1a9a93ded5b7d162c3f58bdd66b8f491 This imposter Aaron Jones might have attended some of your presentations. ---- C) "Rather than allow for a usual grace period after resignation [...] Tomaw's crew abruptly cuts christel's access" There is no usual grace period. When a staff member resigns, their credentials and privileges are revoked. This is just good infosec hygiene, and is yet again something that an information technology company founder should be capable of grasping. ---- ciao, der.hans >> On May 19, 2021, at 12:57 PM, der.hans via PLUG-discuss wrote: >> >> moin moin, >> >> it seems there's been a takeover of the IRC network we've been using for >> years. >> >> https://lwn.net/Articles/856543/ >> >> Several of the volunteer staff I know of have resigned.
