So lange sie dafür den Comic Chat für #irc wiederbringen. Fair enough! 👽

Anybody have fun #irc channel and #xmpp MUC recommendations? Anything involving #sysadmin, #programming, #selfhosting and maybe fun nerdy #memes?

My experience with larger IRC channels on Libera have not been great. It'd be fun to find an online hangout.

Сегодня знакомый "открыл глаза", почему #jabberru такое #говно старое и без #MAM
Да потому что 23.5 комполюбам там, он и нафиг не нужен, поэтому они готовы даже возродить #IRC и топить за #Matrix , что им абсолютно до фонаря, как этот шлак будет выглядеть на смартфонах, лишь бы им было хорошо и приятно для глаз, а в #Linux дизайн-изыски так и вообще не нужны: концоль - их всё.)

Un ex insegnante di #IRC è stato arrestato con l’accusa di abusi sessuali commessi dal 2017 su almeno 7 minori. L'indagine è partita quest'anno dopo la segnalazione di un docente con cui si era confidata una vittima.
La diocesi di Padova ha fatto sapere di averlo già rimosso nel 2023 dall'IRC e da altri incarichi, dopo indagini interne. E che abitava nella canonica di una parrocchia, contro l'indicazione della curia. Quindi la Chiesa sapeva da quasi tre anni almeno.👇

Nym vs Tor: The Right Tool for a Surveillance-Heavy World — Virebent Blog

Nym Network vs Tor: a technical comparison of threat models, traffic analysis resistance, and the role of the NYM token in securing the mixnet economy.

Much as I love #IRC, lately my presence there has been reduced to a single channel, accessed through an XMPP bridge. Ought to take the hint.

@[email protected] that's why I'm here, IT World not for everyone for just hanging out and not only IT, when you step into it you have to learn these things for your own privacy and safety, and that why I'm inviting all newbies into #irc community there we're all glad to help from your first step. If you don't know how your system works what pkg do what they need for? How you will fell safe? You should know what you are doing inside your system, it is not Windows where your acess permissions are limited.

@[email protected] If you want you can, installing OpenBSD is lot easy than Gentoo/Archlinux but after of course you need to read handbook/wiki/guides/youtubetutors, the most thing you shouldn't give up on process I tried many disdros and on many of them I stuck when I first saw OpenBSD I got confused there wasn't apt/pacman/xbps even #sudo wasn't there it was #doas and pkg_add not systemctl it was rcctl and many other. But what i did to learn these I just tried, no one stand by me and teach what to do I just asked around in #irc community, wiki pages, youtube guides, it became my new hobbie, day by day, now I'm running my own OpenBSD vps I got my own #got server it is minimalist alternative of #git version focused on security by default, I got my own email server, even this account runs inside of it, Whole message I want to deliver to you is keep trying, you don't need motivation to achieve you just need to want it, Do you ever notice ants? How they act when they cannot reach on top of smthing they trying another way until they reach on top they just keep trying. If you stuck somewhere reach to us, we're together anytime glad to help you.

UnrealIRCd 6.2.5 release & hot-patch for IPv6 networks ❗

This release improves IPv6 clone detection. If your IRC network has IPv6 connectivity then hot-patching without restart or upgrading is highly recommended. If you don't have IPv6 then this release is less important.

See https://forums.unrealircd.org/viewtopic.php?t=9472 for all information.

In short: if you are on 6.2.x and your IRC network has IPv6 then run:
./unrealircd hot-patch ipv6-clones
