Quickstart
The following is hints on how to get started with this network.
Registration
Please consider registering your nickname in order to benefit of the
integrated bouncer and other modern features: /MSG NICKSERV REGISTER PASSWORDHERE EMAIL@EXAMPLE.NET
Login
Login is best done by using SASL to ensure you get access to your registered NickName. Libera Chat has the most comprehensive documentation on how to enable it at https://libera.chat/guides/sasl
TIP: add @identifier e.g. @PhoneClient after your (SASL) username to separate the
different locations/clients and utilise client-specific playback buffers.
This will also stop repeating messages (as long as you won't change the
@identifier)!
If SASL isn't supported, set server password (PASS command) as username@identifier:password,
it should be supported by all clients.
Integrated bouncer
As a registered user, should you wish, you can configure the network to allow you to receive channel/private messages even when you have no clients connected. This is known as a bouncer.
Keep your nickname connected and receiving messages: /MSG NICKSERV SET ALWAYS-ON ON
TIP: If your client supports ZNC's Playback module, it will automatically
handle receiving only missed lines. See also https://wiki.znc.in/Playback#Supported_clients
for list of them and scripts.
TIP: If you are running a relaybot, you WANT TO USE @CLIENTID IN SASL USERNAME
to avoid repeating messages and ignore HistServ which only includes automated
state change messages.
For more informations on retrieving messages, please refer to history section of the upstream manual.
Tor access
Refer to https://pirateirc.net/ or MOTD. MapAddress and SASL recommended.
