 Chris | Hey | 15:28:27 |
| 7 Nov 2017 |
| tpepper | is the technical issue with slack that it has a 10,000 post history search limit? | 23:24:24 |
| Chris | tpepper: we don't really care about that (we initially thought it was a free-tier 10,000 message limit period, but it's just the history). we are looking for something that will be more open to the public | 23:26:34 |
| tpepper | ah the invite issue | 23:26:51 |
| Chris | tpepper: Even in the paid tier, you have to invite people to the slack channel | 23:26:53 |
| tpepper | there's a way to do it without invites...somehow | 23:27:17 |
| tpepper | this is the only (out of half a dozen?) slack workspace that I've run into with an invite | 23:27:47 |
| Chris | there are other services you can set up around slack, i've read? tbh, i was looking for a low effort solution | 23:27:50 |
| Chris | huh | 23:27:54 |
| Chris | maybe everyone does set up those services | 23:28:10 |
| tpepper | at a prior job we had a little slack channel and I don't think we had any of that | 23:28:34 |
| tpepper | we had made a little slack/irc bridge bot so you could get on either | 23:28:50 |
| Chris | you can whitelist certain email domains for registration | 23:28:51 |
| Chris | but if you try to whitelist @gmail.com, they won't let you do that either | 23:29:05 |
| Chris | so right now, our whitelist is... mit, princeton, my domain, and google.com, which is also not super helpful | 23:29:26 |
| Chris | (let's just set up a slack/riot/irc bridge... ugh i hate technology sometimes) | 23:30:02 |
| tpepper | so..poking around I'm realizing 4/6 of the workspaces I have are probably coincidentally via a whitelisted email address. | 23:36:10 |
| tpepper | that leaves u-root and kubernetes. I suppose kubernetes has a bot. | 23:36:24 |
| Chris | kubernetes uses slack? | 23:36:37 |
| tpepper | http://slack.k8s.io/ | 23:36:48 |
| Chris | maybe we can ping them and find out how they manage this. | 23:36:56 |
| tpepper | "get my invite" | 23:37:01 |
| Chris | https://github.com/rauchg/slackin | 23:37:12 |
| Chris | seems pretty nice. maybe i'll just set that up. | 23:37:26 |
 ganshun | I suppose we have to host that manually ourselves? | 23:38:13 |
| Chris | yeah, but it seems pretty simple. i have a couple DO vps', or maybe we can just host that on some GCE instance. | 23:38:50 |
| ganshun | seems simple enough though I'd rather no one have to manage this thing. | 23:39:01 |
| ganshun | but if it's the easiest way | 23:39:06 |
| ganshun | then lets do that for now | 23:39:11 |
