Author Topic: Come chat in the IRC channel (#geekhack @ freenode) (Read 5559 times)

Hello, geekhackers. Chit-chatting in real time with fellow enthusiasts is a lot of fun. Why not come hang out in the geekhack IRC channel? For the uninitiated, there should be an easy "IRC" link in your geekhack toolbar. For the initiated, the channel is #geekhack on freenode.

Apparently there was some ancient beef that went down between the forum regulars and the IRC regulars. That is all in the past, and I don't really care what happened.. All I know is that the channel is pretty dead most of the time when it could be hopping and bopping with newbie Q&A, switch debate, and talk of ping and PBT doubleshots.

There's also a #deskthority.

How do you hide your IP on freenode?

:O really?

Didn't know Ripster dropped by the IRC.

hashbaz · « **Reply #6 on:** Mon, 01 October 2012, 17:30:08 »

Yeah ripster just spammed up the channel and then left.

There are a lot of geekhackers that skype chat with each other as well. But with IRC there's no need to friend each other and add to various chats.

Kellybear · « **Reply #7 on:** Mon, 01 October 2012, 17:40:27 »

Hmm, looks like you can't hide ip as simply as you can on quakenet with /mode +x eh. ><;

TheProfosist · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 02 October 2012, 03:08:25 »

Kellybear · « **Reply #16 on:** Tue, 02 October 2012, 03:27:44 »

Ahhh I love bash.org!

fruktstund · « **Reply #17 on:** Tue, 02 October 2012, 04:53:43 »

This reminds me I've been thinking of joining #deskthority for a while. Guess I'll join both and idle sometime (IRC is for idling, right?).

IIRC, IRC = idling relay chat.

true, very true.

There have been a couple of spurts of really good activity recently. We need more forum regulars around.

If you use mIRC to join irc chat, here is some code to connect to more then one network on startup.

Quote

auto connect multi-server: Menu "Tools" > "Script Editor" > Tab "Remote" add somthing like this:

Code: [Select]
on *:START:{ server irc.network1.com server -m irc.network2.org server -m irc.network3.net }

I was able to talk in IRC until about a week ago. Now when I type a message it is telling me "== Cannot send to channel: #geekhack". Can anyone help me fix this? No clue how/why this happened.

I had the same problem, which MissMurd3r84 helped me fix with the help of another person in the IRC.

You need to click the Auth to services checkbox and sign in with a Freenode account, I think.

absyrd · « **Reply #31 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 11:37:14 »

Thanks to jero and Soarer I can chat again.

I used to get on without auth to services, but now it seems i have to.

SmallFry · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 11:37:50 »

Dfj, the person you need to talk to, has "quieted" the WebIRC link due to Ripster coming in and spamming. You now need to authenticate with the services or ping Dfj or *reluctantly* Kishy. Don't tell Kishy that I sent you though!

Aw can't get it to work on my phone

Edit: Okay doesn't work on PC either this is broke halp

TheProfosist · « **Reply #34 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 23:45:07 »

get androirc if your using android.

SmallFry · « **Reply #35 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 23:46:30 »

I just saw you joined... did you authenticate?

Sifo · « **Reply #36 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 23:47:02 »

I did a long time ago... I'm pretty sure

SmallFry · « **Reply #37 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 23:50:15 »

You have to authenticate each time you log in with /msg nickserv identify *password*
