Developers of the open source organization Freenode are quitting en masse after Andrew Lee, a tech entrepreneur and the Crown Prince of Korea, has taken control of the network in what developers are describing as a "hostile takeover."
Freenode was founded in 1994 and has since become the largest free and open source project that runs Internet Relay Chat (or IRC) networks, which were once hugely popular and are still an important internet chat protocol. It has traditionally been run by volunteers and has amassed "90,000 users and just shy of 50,000 registered channels," according to the organization's official website. While it is not as popular as it used to be, it is still a key site for free software project coordination.
The new Libera Chat is described as a next-generation IRC network for FOSS and peer directed projects, formed as a nonprofit organisation where all its staff has equal representation at the table to safeguard its future.

IRC - this is a great way to get ebooks, if you're familiar with how it works:
https://ixirc.com/ (IRC search engine)
irc.irchighway.net:6665 (IRC chat with books)
irc://irc.undernet.org/bookz
irc://irc.irchighway.net/ebooks
The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC posted by /u/Servaplur explains it better than I ever could.
Edit: here’s the problem: when I go to turn the car on all it does it “click click click” and doesn’t try to turn over. All the lights come on, Radio, and air conditioning.
I also did try jumping it.
An in-game community requires the use of IRC and I need to get it set-up to fully become a member. I've never used it before, and up until a few minutes ago I thought it was Internet RADIO Chat.
I remember like 10-15 years ago using IRC and I saw some DBZ fighting animated game which could have been played via IRC. I didn't have the opportunity to try it but it was sprite based, with tiny pixelated DBZ characters. Maybe it was just a kind of generated animation, in a small separate window (I don't know). Anyone remembers it? What was it called? Where or when I could have seen it?
Heya folks
Long time ago, I created an IRC chatroom for UT students and alumni, I thought I'd advertise it here in case anyone wants to hang out there -- it's #utaustin on freenode (irc.freenode.net)
If you don't know what IRC is, it's an old way to chat (usually used by computer programmers, kinda like Slack). If you don't have an IRC client configured, you can use this link to directly join the chatroom:
https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/#utaustin
-- A.S., spent way too long at UT.
Thanks to the work of /u/Jaraxo /r/titanfall now has it's own IRC (Internet Relay Chat)!
You may use this for anything you like as long as it is Titanfall related. Keep in mind /r/titanfall's rules still apply in the chat.
The IRC is hosted by Quakenet.org. You can click here to join.
Recommendations for a cross-server chat relay bot for use of general chat purposes between multiple Discord servers.
All recommendations are appreciated.
Yes that's still a thing ;) Here's a link to the chat in case you missed the announcement. (If you prefer to not keep the tab in your browser, Hexchat is a reliable lightweight client. If you use hexchat connect to irc.dal.net and then /join #skyrimmods).
I've seen a lot of you pop in, ask a question, and then leave before anyone can answer it! and it makes me sad :(
UESP says it best, as usual: "...when you ask a question please be patient. People in the room do not spend 100% of their time waiting for questions and may not notice that you have asked one for a while."
Please, join us! But please remember we don't sit there and stare at the chat, awaiting a newcomer.
And feel free to hang out and chatter, or help out other people! The more the merrier, and not all the talk has to be about Skyrim ;)
For those of you that love the good ol' days of irc or AOL online. I just found out that IRCcloud will work with the pebble. For those that are not familiar with IRC... It's basically a place to chat, and you can register your name on an IRC server. IRCcloud will keep you logged in so your chat log doesn't disappear when you don't have internet. <p> It's perfect timing because I registered an IRC chat channel for my Java class, and now I can get watch notifications if someone needs help or just wants to branch out and be in that "dev brainstorm.". It's a learning curve if you have never learned IRC, but it's a great way to get directly in contact with other devs in many different languages. <p> Here is a link to IRCcloud... I can't wait for my pTimeSteel.Silver(); https://www.irccloud.com/
IRCcloud runs on android and iOS.
