New IRC server

[Luke]

Hey guys,

IRC has been moved to our cluster and linked to other chat protocols. If you're using a dedicated IRC client then connect to

irc.pine64.org/6667

SSL port:

irc.pine64.org/6697

I am still getting a TLS errors when I try to connect to #pinebook

I was also notified by my client that the certificate is self signed. I was able to tell my client to accept the certificate anyway, thereby successfully establishing a connection. Luke, have you considered using Let's Encrypt as the certificate authority for irc.pine64.org?

It is supposed to be using Let's Encrypt certs already... will investigate.

[fire219]

It is now properly using Let's Encrypt certs... the setup was incomplete, oops.

The new IRC server is also not irc cloud friendly.

I don't want to have to install a separate irc client just for these couple of irc channels, I guess its affecting a lot of people.

I keep getting dumped from the server with the following.

Closing Link: DigiDaz[ealing.irccloud.com] (Too many connections from your IP)

I'd argue that it's not that common of a problem as this is the first time I've heard from anyone about it.

Regardless, I have significantly increased the connections per IP limit, and you should be able to connect via irccloud now.

Thanks but still no go for me:
<OperServ> The session limit for your IP 192.184.9.110 has been exceeded.

Hexchat is preinstalled on the PBP, widely available in various distros, and the debian version is like 627 kB + 4256 kB disk space for hexchat + hexchat common, two packages & one apt-get command. Not exactly dependency hell & and it's not complicated to configure.
