L'Uaar ha diffuso i dati del Ministero dell'Istruzione e delle province di Trento e Bolzano sulla non frequenza dell'#IRC per l'anno scolastico 2023/24. La quota di chi non frequenta l'insegnamento della religione cattolica a #scuola sale al 16,6%.

Just like #IRC & #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME will do the same for #GroupChats and #Messaging in general!
Recently, I tidied up my IRC workspace.
Are there any interesting IRC channels (including servers) that you know of, related to Linux, free software, self-hosting, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or NetBSD?

Okay, what's the best #Discord alternative for a #chat platform, I want one for my #streamer / #vtuber community, currently using Discord but want to Own It and such. For real this time.
Is #element / #matrix still the biggest one? I guess there's #IRC, I want whatever I can get the largest non-zero number of people using. And voice chat ideally, video not necessary.
we have a #traveller chat room on #irc, which you could access via web under
http://wilderland.ovh:9000/#/connect?join=traveller
or
https://talk.campaignwiki.org/#/connect?join=traveller
(it's effectively the #traveller chat from Undernet/Communiti (formerly Otherworlders)
just saying.
@simendsjo @jackdaniel #XMPP has all those features, and there's a fairly big #Lisp / #Scheme / #CommonLisp channel there - https://xmpp.link/#lisp@conference.a3.pm?join
It might not have everything that #Discord does, but it's vastly better than #IRC. And there's a cost to using #proprietary and #centralized services, which people constantly forget about in chasing convenience and shiny features.
Here's a guide to help you get started.

Created in 1988 by Jarkko Oikarinen in Finland, IRC was designed to enable real-time, text-based communication over the internet. Inspired by the multi-user talk programs on UNIX systems, Oikarinen wanted a system that was more flexible and scalable.
IRC quickly became the backbone of online communities in the 90s and early 2000s, hosting discussions ranging from programming and hacking to gaming and general socializing. Unlike modern chat services, IRC was entirely decentralized—anyone could set up a server, create channels, and communicate without corporate control.
Though its popularity has declined with the rise of modern platforms, IRC still thrives among enthusiasts, open-source communities, and privacy advocates who prefer its lightweight, no-nonsense approach to online chat.
Hoy hice mi primer test drive de mi máquina del #desafíoretrocómputo2025 y for un éxito.
Me fui a un bar, me conecté al wifi usando una herramienta con TUI (la conexión andaba pésimo pero por culpa del servicio, no de la máquina), chatee un rato por #IRC con #Pidgin, y terminé el turno de planets.nu sin problemas. Todo muy usable y sin crashes ni ralentización de ningún tipo.
what are my options for a decent gui #irc client? is hexchat it these days? preferably something gtk based because i find qt ui to be gross and ugly.
Chi non segue l'insegnamento della religione cattolica a #scuola spesso viene definito in maniera negativa sui giornali, con richiami alla fuga e all'abbandono o con etichette come "esonerato", "disertore" e persino "negazionista".
Ma l'#Irc non un obbligo e non avvalersene è un diritto.

are ready? we start in less than an hour!!
Coucou.
J'ai un souci.
Voici mon setup :
J'ai weechat sur mon VPS sous debian.
Sur mon windows du taf, je me connecte via hexchat sur mon weechat. Tout va bien.
Mais j'aimerais utiliser halloy, un client IRC aussi. Et là j'obtiens une erreur au niveau du TLS.
connection to server failed (a TLS error occured: io error: invalid peer certificate: Expired)
J'ai cherché un peu, et j'ai tapé cette commande dans weechat :
/relay tlscertkey
Mais rien n'y fait, tjrs impossible de se connecter via halloy.
Une idée ?

How on earth is this ok? When will #Europe, esp. #Deutschland wake up and stop excusing and stop arming #Israel ?? 
"Israel killed 15 Palestinian #paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says #UN. Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in #massgrave in southern #Gaza, says humanitarian office

If you are still hanging out on #irc, where do you hang your virtual hat?
Looking for some nice servers.
