# HexChat configs

- Timestamp format: `[%Y-%j %H.%M.%S]` or `[%G-W%V-%u %H:%M:%S]`
  - Example: `2021-173 19.40.50` or `2021-W34-5 13:44:50`
- Nickname length: `/set text_max_indent 640`
  - so huge nicknames (especially with RELAYMSG) won't overlap timestamps

- Auto-reconnect: `/set net_ping_timeout 90`
