Each server is listed by its ServerName/me::name
below. Each server listens for SSL connections with a self-signed
SSL cert on port 6697. Plaintext and, in many cases, STARTTLS are
available on port 6667. We have no agreed-upon round robin setup
yet, but you are allowed to just connect
to irc.ohnopub.net
if you wish not to bother with thinking about individual servers.
irc-hub.ohnopub.net (plaintext). The hub run by Oh! No! Publishing.irc.beige-box.com (plaintext, web (mibbit)). Probably the most popular server. Run by The Little Beige Box.irc.compgeke.com (plaintext). Fully mechanized and built from small engine parts.supertools.ciaranowens.com (plaintext). Apparently on wifi. There may be a high-quality photograph of it somewhere.ciaranowens.com (plaintext). Dunno.Generally, do not be stupid. We reserve the right to ban any user for any reason whatsoever including no reason. But here are some particular guidelines:
binki
or @ohnobinki
via PRIVMSG or, if banned from the network, via his
email (prefix ohnoto his nick and append
@ohnopublishing.net). And, most importantly, be patient when negotiating bans.
binki can be worse than Windows without an SSD sometimes.
We run Anope-1.x to provide basic identity management. Please try
to use the email option if you register so that your password may
be reset that way. Otherwise, you will have to
convince binki that you are yourself. When
interacting with services, please make sure that you are in
the server window
of your IRC client to avoid accidentally
pasting your password plaintext into a channel. Also, please
create a unique password for this net; we do not want a breach of
our security to result in your bank (or, even
worse, unicoin
wallet) credentials being stolen.
To read our bios and get a very minor jumpstart on some inside jokes, head to retronet wiki hosted on Beige Box. For example, once a few of us went and made A thing. ikr.
