Recommendations for Infosec/Programming channels?

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get into some infosec/programming
communities on IRC. Unlike a lot of the people here, I wasn't born in
the 90s, which means I don't have good connections with the IRC
community. Most of the infosec communities I join are forums, but I'm
looking for something more real-time, and not filled with skids asking
"how to hack Instagram accounts".

Any recommendations for channels? If you're not comfortable publicly
posting it, feel free to drop me a message. Thanks!

If you're not looking for anything focused, and can stand a lot of
banter, try `#gnulag` on `irc.snoonet.org:6697`. It's a mix of Linux
enthusiasts, all kinds of devs, and sysadmins. Requires SSL and
NickServ reg, but we're always looking for new users.
