ZNC

Vardiera is hosting stable ZNC (latest git tag) where people I trust can get accounts.

Simple rules

• Follow the network policies.
• Follow the channel rules.
• You use this ZNC by your own responsibility.
  • accounts can be removed at any time.
  • it can crash any time without me being there to fix it.
  • it can be restarted any time to install upgrades.
• No logging unless you load the log module by yourself (log access requires shell access which I don’t give!)
• If you use the SASL or NickServ module, your password is stored in plain text.
  • I won’t ever read it there, but I think it should be mentioned. Don’t use server password unless you have to as that password is thrown to my eyes in ZNC startup messages.
• In case more networks are needed, contact me.

Tips & tricks

1. Read the ZNC wiki, at least FAQ.
2. Load savebuff so your buffers aren’t lost on restart/crash/etc.
   • Don’t specify a password or I am going to be angry and you are going to lose your account!
3. If your network has NickServ, load SASL and read it’s wiki page for automatic identification.
