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

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 

/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  =  # same as registration

2. CertFP/SASL EXTERN

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

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
