Happy New Year- Welcome to Linux Journal 2.0

I guess that's because freenode right now is going through an attack of really filthy, vicious, sick-making spam.

Not just freenode, I've seen some of the recent spambots attack a completely different private server so there must be some blind IP range scanning going on. Setting chanmode +z (require TLS) seems to be a 100% effective mitigation strategy.

Except it would likely keep out a whole bunch of legitimate users too (especially on less technical channels).

One of its chanops set it +i accidentally. It is fixed now :)
