[Bloat] Freenode IRC kerfuffle

[Bloat] Freenode IRC kerfuffle

[Toke Høiland-Jørgensen]

Hi everyone

In case you haven't noticed, there's been quite a kerfuffle around the
Freenode IRC network. As always, LWN has excellent coverage[0]. This has
resulted in quite an exodus from Freenode, and since some people were
hanging on the #bufferbloat channel there, I figured I'd mention it on
this list as well.

People seem to be migrating to either irc.oftc.net or the new
libera.chat network setup by the old Freenode admins. OpenWrt picked
OFTC[1], so I registered #bufferbloat there as well, although I seem to
be the only person there. There also seem to be a few people hanging out
in #bufferbloat on Libera.

Anyway, the above just FYI in case any of y'all are still using IRC and
want a place to talk about bloat there :)

I like the description of what the liberia.chat folk are doing; they
seem motivated.

So I'd like to create a #bufferbloat channel over there too. After I
remember how to use irc. Those of us with good nics
I guess should register there soon, like jg, esr, etc.
