EDIT: I don’t even know how they want to add this header in HTTPS traffic… Maybe (i hope?) this whole article really is just hallucinated

Hopefully they’re using the Proxy Protocol.

But I have this horrible suspicion they’re not…

@manawyrm when Mythic Beasts did an IPv4 to IPv6 proxy for VPSes/Pis without IPv4 addresses it was cute.

But this… This is horrific. This is a crime against all that is good in this world. How is your internal infrastructure so fucked up you need to do this. How is everyone involved in this not dying of embarassment.

@manawyrm i.. i’m speechless

@jonty and then so many channels have public logs anyway! and who knows who’s bouncer is running on a box last upgraded in 2015?

there are reasonable infrastructure reasons why networks don’t have message history as an option but that doesn’t mean the lack of message history is a good thing. even the good reasons are to a large extent accidents of history

@jonty I keep thinking that step 1 of modernising IRC is turning on the chat history extension and step 2 involves your IRC server disconnecting anyone who tries to login with emacs, irssi or basically any IRC client with a featureset stuck in 1993

@uint8_t I feel like right now I'd rather we had more rails than more trains. Once we've done that we should definitely build more trains though
