After the flooding I changed the settings to allow only users who authenticate with Libera IRC. Sorry for not keeping you informed, but I thought every developer is authenticated anyway and I was off visiting my mom over the holidays. I'm using the authentication stuff for a long time, because as channel admin for a registered channel you have to be authenticated anyway. Usually every IRC client allows to store the authentication settings locally, so it logs in for you automatically. In Weechat, for instance, you can set a few variables like this: /set irc.server.Libera.sasl_mechanism = plain /set irc.server.Libera.sasl_username = "your username" /set irc.server.Libera.sasl_password = "your passwd" Corinna
