would anyone here be interested in hanging out in an IRC room? I used to hang out at #bsd on chat.taucher.net but it's been really dead lately every time I've dropped by.

ttf on IRC? I'd have no problem hosting if no one minds thehomerow.net as a server.

the question for you, is do you want a #ttf room or just something generic?

yea I'm tired of #BSD being dead too. And sometimes taucher isn't so reliable. Set it up.

welp, it's up. thehomerow.net, #ttf.

I don't know what I'm doing setting up ircd, so any help or tips would be appreciated :). I configured it to the best of my ability with the help of the comments in the config file, but I'm not confident I really know what I'm doing.

first easy question: how do I allow longer nicks? asemisldkfj gets shortened to asemisldk.

okay I took it down for now. I'd like to talk to someone who's run an IRC server before or read more about it myself before I leave it up unattended for any long periods of time.

which ircd did you use? i only have experience with unrealircd, but maxlor really likes his irc daemon.

I used the official ircd. it's in OpenBSD's ports, so it was the easiest.

I just had trouble with some of the language in the config file. I'm not all that familiar with IRC.

ircd worked for me! I'd totally be in a #ttf ... once I get an IRC client installed.

I'm still a little weirded out by running ircd on my server just because it's the same box that does firewalling/routing. so basically it's IRC's reputation as not being very secure that's keeping me from wanting to do this very much. I might set up a separate box as my server soon, though.

we could also run ircd on our new server.

I made some nice progress getting the Soekris box set up as my router/firewall tonight, so I might have a dedicated server sooner than I think. feel free to set one up though!

looks like the oftc.net room is still up? #bsd is still wicked dead most of the time.
