Re: [Trisquel-users] IRC Clients / Security
It turns out I had not registered with NickServ. Once I did "/msg NickServ register password em...@example.com", ran the command they emailed me, and updated "/network add -sasl_username username -sasl_password password -sasl_mechanism PLAIN freenode", then it worked.
Re: [Trisquel-users] IRC Clients / Security
I guess you misconfigured it. I attached my config file. Basically you just need to change the username and the password (please don't steal my password :P ), and the #chans according to your preference of course.. I recommend the three scripts I use with Irssi, it makes it much more usable, just right. mouse.pl nickcolor.pl trackbar.pl Let me know if you still face issues with it. *remove .txt from the filename (trisqumello forummino only allows a limited set of file formats to upload..)
Re: [Trisquel-users] IRC Clients / Security
Thanks for the info. I'm trying out Irssi. I was able to connect via SSL (verified by a /whois), but SASL was not working correctly. I get the error: "Cannot authenticate via SASL (The authentication timed out)". Any ideas?

It is. Indeed securing any connection is always a good practice. Encryption werks \o/
[Trisquel-users] IRC Clients / Security
What IRC clients are popular amongst Trisquel users? I have tried Pidgin, HexChat, and WeeChat. Also, what is a good way to secure the connection? Using SSL? Is it good practice to securely connect to IRC?
