09:23 Miniontoby      I have a csm for getting the privs which you want on servers who accept csm's
09:47 texmex          Game over ;) http://chunkstories.xyz/
09:51 Quiark          Miniontoby: stop spamming
09:51 Miniontoby      I dont do that
09:51 Miniontoby      I did post that one time!!
09:53 MinetestBot     02[git] 04erlehmann -> 03minetest/minetest: Fix Debian build dependencies in README 13ef8bf3c https://git.io/JeM8o (152019-12-02T09:49:39Z)
10:57 BuckarooBanzai  texmex: a mt-lua-api compat layer would be "game over" ;)
11:24 texmex          BuckarooBanzai: Yeah… And not being written in Java. xD
11:40 nephele         'join our discord' i would say that is a long way from a game over ;)
22:06 Copenhagen_Bram How do minetest servers handle ban evasion via multiple accounts?
22:09 kurtzmusch      ban ip
22:09 kurtzmusch      then ban ip range
22:09 kurtzmusch      then ban vpns
22:10 Copenhagen_Bram oh
22:11 Copenhagen_Bram what other methods are there of making ban evasion harder?
22:11 Copenhagen_Bram maybe making it take time to create a new account
22:11 Copenhagen_Bram such as limiting the rate at which new accounts can be registered
22:12 Copenhagen_Bram every time the ban evader gets their new account banned they have to wait in line for their new account to be created
22:12 Copenhagen_Bram i'm thinking about making a game, that's why i'm asking
22:15 Copenhagen_Bram btw, do you think it'd be possible to make minetest a bit friendlier foor people with multiple passwords?
22:16 Copenhagen_Bram i use a password manager for some reason pasting into minetest's password box doesn't work the first time i hit ctrl-v
22:16 Copenhagen_Bram maybe minetest could have its own internal password manager in the config or something
22:17 Copenhagen_Bram weechat has a feature where you can store strings assigned to variables in an encrypted file and use the variables as passwords for IRC servers
22:17 Copenhagen_Bram or minetest could implement an alternative authentication method using a keypair
22:18 Copenhagen_Bram then users could use one password for every server they join, to unlock the private key and use it to authenticate the connection with a signature
22:18 Copenhagen_Bram although the player would have to back up the secret keys to play on another device
22:26 nephele         Copenhagen_Bram: there is nothing stopping a guy from registering 50 accounts in advance
22:27 nephele         And similarilly, how one stops people from evading their bans is a problem that can't really be solved to cover 100% of cases, well not unless you use an explicit whitelist anyway
22:47 Copenhagen_Bram ah okay
