IRC is for the mentally mental and the very well. It serves as a great retard filter, supposedly.

## Join...

IRC.Xolatile.Top <- Secure Connections Only | Port 6697 | Use TLS 1.2+

## Registering In Xolatile.Top

You need a client that can connect with SASL (Weechat, irssi, etc.) and must fully set it up BEFORE reconnecting.

You'll have exclusive control over your nick and will have enabled a server-side bouncer.

First you have to register... Use KeePassXC to keep your passwords.

    /nick your_nick_forever
    /msg nickserv register <PASSWORD>

Recommendation for server-side bouncer settings, bouncer will always print missed messages hereon:

    /msg nickserv set AUTOREPLAY-MISSED on
    /msg nickserv set AUTOREPLAY-LINES 0

### Authentication Methods (Pick One)

#### 1. SASL PLAIN

Simple plaintext password, the most widely supported and relatively easy to setup.

    set sasl_mechanism = plain
    set sasl_username  = nick
    set sasl_password  = <PASSWORD> # same as registration, I shouldn't need to clarify this but you may be Serbian

#### 2. CertFP/SASL EXTERN

Certificate based authentication, more intensive setup. You're objectively cooler for using it.

The generated certificate must be added to your client before you register, or you should supply the following to Weechat.

    set sasl_fail = continue

The following commands are required, this generates a valid certificate and prints the fingerprint which you must copy to your IRC client.

    $ openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out private.pem
    $ openssl req -new -x509 -key private.pem -out cert.pem -days 365
    # go through the prompt, just hit enter...
    $ cat private.pem cert.pem > nick.pem
    $ rm private.pem cert.pem
    # then get your fingerprint, copy this into your clipboard...
    $ openssl x509 -in nick.pem -outform DER | sha256sum -b | awk '{print $1}'
    $ mv nick.pem ~/.cert/

Add that fingerprint like this:

    /msg nickserv cert add FINGERPRINT

For weechat, you may configure it like this, and in general these are the details you must supply:

    set sasl_mechanism = external # overrides sasl configuration and uses client-side tls cert
    set tls_cert = ~/.cert/nick.pem

## XMPP

For the documented and booked wellness officers. Ideally there'd be a way to for XMPP losers to connect to IRC, but we're waiting on the troons to engineer a solution with the bridge known as "Biboumi."

As for registering on xolatile.top, ask emilemil on the IRC or email emil@chud.cyou. For now, registration will be a general "no" as per the usefulness of this service is low and it may be pruned.
