       Maybe it's me being too young to understand #IRC, can someone help me out here?* People tend to lump it in the same "federated" box as the Fediverse or XMPP/Matrix, even though to my knowledge, it isn't really federated at all?* On public servers, you have to periodically message Nickserv to stay signed in with a nickname. It's pretty annoying. Can I use a client certificate for that? How do I do that?* My IP is public when I'm in a room, most of the time. That's kinda uncomfortable.

       @blake@fosstodon.org Your IP is public all the time when you do things online. If it makes you uncomfortable, configure a firewall 🤷‍♂️
