I have a question regarding Hexchat, is it possible to set different
names for different servers when auto joining?
reddit / irc

"I tried this and most importantly it happens leaked!"

I have no idea what that sentence means.

If you want to have settings for an IRC server/network to differ from
the global configuration then you have to override the global
configuration with what you want for that specific setup. It's not
complicated. How would you prefer it to work?

> The variables leaked from one to the other, because there is only
one set of config files. So if you want to be bruce on server1 and
philip on server2, you'll find yourself connecting as philip on
server1 about half the time

That doesn't happen for me.

Are you absolutely sure?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

100% sure. I use znc and if hexchat ever messed up my settings the znc
connection would fail or I would be connected to the same server
twice. Either way, I'd notice almost immediately.

About znc, can I use different names for different servers when auto
joining?

Yes. When you configure your user's list of networks you can choose a
different nick for each network.

znc better than hexchat?

I'm new to znc? Any help?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Znc is not a client, it is basically a proxy that keeps you connected
so you don't miss messages when you close your client.

If you connect directly, people can see your ip address. If you
connect through znc, all people see are the znc server's address. (The
address will be the same if you host on your home network. Also, irc
networks usually provide cloaks, which conceal IP addresses.)

It's probably the font, there might be settings to change it but I'm
not sure. Maybe Google has an answer.
