  • (Quote) Yeah, and I was kind of an IRCnet homer, which was somehow logical considering the geographical orientation of both networks and how popular IRC became in my little country around 2000. Every city, every village, every forum, everything... h…

  • (Quote) Small edit. Don't mix the early separation of chaotic Anet and Eris-Free Network in 1990 (which was essentially just cleaning up a mess) with the later event known as "The Great Split", which occurred in 1996, resulting in EFnet an…

  • @Not_Oles many sources have disappeared over time but here is some interesting reading that delve into historical details, tracing the development of various things from their early years up to 2005. Some things that appear completely illogical from…

  • Hehe, yeah. My bad about Finnish/Swedish... The song was released 18 years ago, and my memory isn't what it used to be :) He released also an English version called "Now You're Gone" based on Boten Anna one year later, but since it's not …

  • One small, random piece of IRC folklore. Basshunter would hang out on his QuakeNet IRC channel, as many Finns did at that time, playing WoW and occasionally creating some silly music. There was this IRC bot, or so he thought, named Anna, residing i…

  • Not sure what to do with this. It seems like just a random messed up snippet that happens to mention IRC for some reason.

  • That perspective is entirely incorrect when considering IPv6. IPv6 differs from IPv4, don't look at it through the lens of old IPv4 perspectives. Its design differs fundamentally. It's not about the number of individual /128 addresses or if you can…
  • Then you're not so "premium" as you want to believe. But don't worry, throughout history, there have always been retrogressive individuals who objected to changes, progress, and so on. (Quote)
  • (Quote) Get yourself a server in a semi-decent DC. We are in 21st century. Don't skimp on yourself.
  • (Quote) "According to Google's statistics, India has reached an IPv6 adoption level of around 68.94% in January 2023. As of 2022, APNIC placed India at more than 75% preferring IPv6. Countries including France, Germany and India now run the ma…
  • (Quote) NAT was developed as a temporary technology, not a permanent solution. It's not designed with new technologies and protocols in mind. It's a superficial, temporary solution to a problem that does not address or resolve the underlying cause o…
  • (Quote) This is not how IRC works. IRC can't be judged through modern platform glasses or compared with forums. The beauty of IRC is that anyone can join and start chatting. IRC itself does not require user account registrations. The original idea …

  • It's really not that important, but I can help you understand. :) (Quote) At the beginning, you want visitors. Locking the channel is counterproductive in that sense. The best analogy for +r would be a non-public/secret/locked forum where only regi…

  • (Quote) Irssi anytime. BitchX is essentially a glorified spawn of pre-historical ircII with numerous added scripts, many of which could get you banned from IRC channels if you fail to remove default settings (like public auto-away messages - people…

  • (Quote) Well, it is compared to the good old IRCnet where server operators will directly tell you that channels and nicknames there aren't owned and they won't involve themselves in channel matters. EFnet is somewhat similar. Both share a unique, d…

  • (Quote) Exactly what I said!
  • (Quote) Fun fact: that blade is made from AUS-8 japanese steel, produced by Aichi Steel Corporation or as our Serbian friends say, "Srbija do Tokija"! :D
  • But you still don't get it, do you? Like I said, that's nothing but ad-thrashing because price isn't determined by your personal preferences, and that just sucks.
  • How do you know? What's your experience with their service?
  • That's the situation where I actually agree with Frankieboy and bikegremlin. This isn't commenting on the host's service (which I believe should be allowed under the offer), but rather ad-thrashing. Quoting other hosts' pricing under a sales thread …
  • (Quote) IPv6 started working automagically today. I didn't make any changes (the VPS is currently idler).
  • (Quote) IRC is more than just a quick jump into a channel, a few words, and then quitting. Most people on IRC idle for days, weeks, and even years. They often find themselves simultaneously active on multiple channels across several networks, while …

  • Ah, network, yes ... Another good reason to stick with something proven as InspIRCd or UnrealIRCd is that once you run an IRCd you may want to link it with someone in the future to create a network. And those people for sure won't run some obscure p…

  • (Quote) Somehow I expected that answer but even you don't use Mosaic browser or even Netscape Navigator anymore. Or wait... do you?! :) Out there are also a bit more advanced forks of ircII called Epic (https://www.epicsol.org/) and BitchX (https://…

  • (Quote) Irssi, finally on the right track... :) ircII belongs to the museum :)

  • If you want to run self hosted IRC server I am suggesting you to use some proper solution (InspIRCd or UnrealIRCd as example) in constant development not some hobby projects that come and go.

  • (Quote) Nah, with paypal you have two options, regular payment and less common F&F payment. He could accept regular payment, but requested F&F payment to avoid paying paypal fees.

  • (Quote) Yes it is. It's clearly optional transaction for "friends and family", but this wasn't what I was talking about.
  • (Quote) Wrong in a what way? You picked -s -- -fig options. -f/-d Disables the fio (disk performance) test -i Disables the iperf (network performance) test -g Disables the Geekbench (system performance) test
  • If someone managed to set up IPv6 to work, let me know. I mean IPv6 is configured by default (Debian 12) and it seems everything already there, it just doesn't work for some reason.
  • (Quote) There is a chargeback option if you paid with a card via paypal. There's no paypal dispute option. There's this misconception that "friends and family" paypal payment can't be reversed, but it's actually the other way around. It's…
  • My "sweden" promo VPS I got some hour ago is located in Austria not Sweden. That's almost perfect for me. IPv6 is configured by default however it doesn't work. It doest not look like I can do anything on my side to make it work. I check…
