fanquake sipa yes it's a bit of a grey area, i don't think it's malicious but they're overexpressing themselves by spamming the issue with things like "i'm tired" is kind of annoying and still a good reason to block if it goes on
< wumpus>
i mean, every post in that issue creates a mail to many people
< wumpus>
zndtoshi: it's a warning system for detecting large forks (e.g. which reorganise a lot of blocks)
< wumpus>
or which have a lot more work than our previously best chain
< zndtoshi>
ok thank you.
< fanquake>
wumpus: yea; 3500 people don't need those emails.
< fanquake>
Kinda similar to people posting comments, and then deleting and re-posting rather than editing them. heh
< wumpus>
it's kind of more of a social behavior barrier than a language barrier "github is not a chat", in any case if we have their mail we can try to send them a mail to explain first
< wumpus>
should we disabble the s390 build in travis?
< wumpus>
looks like the runs don't even start anymore
< jonatack>
finally got the s390 job to pass after 4 kicks (ISTM the secp256k1 repo is removing it for the same reason)
< wumpus>
i've decided to block yufi1213, looked at their profile a bit it's two days old and it's full of empty repositories that contain a funding.yml, as well as randomly copied README.md from other projects, it just seems too fishy to me
< wumpus>
I've seen more accounts like that, it appears more like an attempt to game some system than a honest open source contributor

[bitcoin] fanquake merged pull request #19605: doc: set CC_FOR_BUILD when building on OpenBSD (master...openbsd_cc_for_build) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19605
< wumpus>
I should really upgrade my OpenBSD VM
< sdaftuar>
does anyone regularly use the -seednode argument to bitcoind? i am doing some testing and noticed a few interesting behaviors
< sdaftuar>
the most interesting is that when trying to use -seednode, i managed to make a connection and my peer advertised itself to me, which i took as its getaddr response and disconnected
< sdaftuar>
before getting a full reply
< sdaftuar>
my other question, if anyone knows-- is there supposed to be a way to disable the fixed seeds?
< sdaftuar>
(other than -connect=0)

I've never used the -seednode argument fwiw
< sipa>
i added it, and i also think i've never used it
< sdaftuar>
lol
< sdaftuar>
i assume matt has used it, i think he was the person who explained its purpose to me at some point
< wumpus>
i've never had to use it, i do use bitcoind over tor, but i've always had peers
< wumpus>
I understand why the option exists though
< sdaftuar>
btw wumpus if you're in a merging state of mind, i think #19596 has been sufficiently reviewed at this point

sdaftuar: thanks, will take a look
< jonatack>
I've begun using -seednode and -addnode only very recently to try to find onion connections more quickly and keep them
