Rob [linux.org], the Administrator over at Linux.org [linux.org] has announced:

I set up an IRC server [linux.org] this week. irc.linux.org, port 6697, TLS.

Main channel is #linux.org.

NickServ and ChanServ are both running, so you can lock down your nickname and register your own channels:

/msg NickServ REGISTER
/msg ChanServ REGISTER #yourchannel

Once a channel is registered it stays yours, ops and all, even if you're the only one who ever shows up.

If you haven't touched IRC in fifteen years, nothing has changed,. apt install hexchat or apt install irssi, connect, join, type.

Channels are open for the taking. Distro channels, project channels, whatever you want to run. Grab them before somebody else does.
