IRCD Development reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UniversalAlternative · 2015-10-08 05:18 If anyone is up to the possibility of developing a IRCD or has one they'd like help improving shoot me a message. I do Java, Perl, and a bit of C. I've been interested in developing something useful for a IRCD. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- seiyria · 2015-10-08 12:15 Why not contribute to the existing ones? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UniversalAlternative · 2015-10-08 15:30 I want to help create something new, faster, more efficient, and secure. Existing IRCD's are pretty clunky. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- clayfreeman · 2015-10-08 17:15 I've got a stale, somewhat complete project I've been working on in PHP (lol). It's a fully modular design, so it might serve as inspiration for any projects you might start. It can be found [here](https://github.com/Modfwango/IRCServer-PHP). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wshs · 2015-10-08 23:48 What do you base this assertion on? IRCu, bahamut, ratbox, among others, have successfully managed user counts over 100000 with encrypted connections, minimal exploits, and extreme stability and speed, whilst using minimal cpu and memory. They've been developed for 20 years, with expertise to match. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UniversalAlternative · 2015-10-09 01:13 They've had a bunch of exploits in their life and some had entire re- writes. Just because a lot of people use it doesn't mean it's great. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- phate408 · 2015-10-09 01:15 I'd argue Inspircd isn't very clunky. But that's just my opinion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UniversalAlternative · 2015-10-09 01:41 I use it, it's not very clunky. Just a bit of a pain to setup services. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wshs · 2015-10-09 05:58 Everything has had exploits, from linux to wget to qmail to ConferenceRoom. Where's your 20 year old exploit free project that has been used by millions? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Anonman9 · 2015-10-09 16:21 This is possiblyy a fork of my Java IRC Server 'IRCXY' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UniversalAlternative · 2015-10-09 21:42 My point is there is no harm in a new Daemon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Saber_UK · 2015-10-09 22:04 Hi, i'm an InspIRCd developer. If you have any problems then try talking to us on irc.chatspike.net #inspircd. Setting up Anope shouldn't be that hard if you follow the instructions, you can pretty much configure the uplink and it will link. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- j4jackj · 2015-10-29 18:13 ffo kcuf ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brainspider · 2015-10-29 19:43 Your code lost me at define("__TIMEZONE__", "UTC"); ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brainspider · 2015-10-29 19:53 I will wager the security of my server on known software with years of exploit and bug hunting than a new daemon. FWIW, I use Unreal IRCd, and I think it's excellent. As long as your system is configured properly, you shouldn't have too many issues. But running an IRCd is a lot like work. For everyone else, there's [Slack](https://slack.com).
