On Monday 12 August 2013 we will be migrating the network from UnrealIRCd to InspIRCd.
This will allow us to have more fine grained control over the features the network offers.
The downtime is planned to start at 16:00 GMT until 18:00 GMT
This post will be updated when the update has happened.
Update completed successfully.
The network bouncers have now moved to a more powerful host and now have a dedicated hostname just in case we need to upgrade to a more powerful server again.
The bouncers are now available at bouncer.digitalirc.org port 8000 for both IRC connections and for the web admin interface.
Tubes has been added to the IRC Network. While it is open to outside connections it is primarily aimed to be the new host for the bouncers, since it has more power and a better processor.
It does not currently support IPv6 native connections and has SSL on the standard port (6697)
To get one simply join #bnc and follow the instructions in the topic. You must have had a registered nickname for at least 14 days and have no previous bans.
Please welcome terra.digitalirc.org to the network admin’ed by me (MrRandom).
It’s based in Denver, Colorado and it supports standard SSL (port 6697) and IPv6.
Since the network is quieting down for the holiday period we will be doing some maintenance and testing on various parts of the network.
This should start at roughly 0000 hours (GMT) this Friday (27 December 2012)
The maintenance should only last a few hours but is planned to last the entire day. This post will be updated when it is over.
The network has been updated and all services should be running normally.
A new server has been linked to the network pinkfloyd.digitalirc.org it is admin’ed by thetammy0r.
It is based in West Coast of North America and supports the standard SSL port of 6697 and IPv6 connections.
We have added a wiki to DigitalIRC, this allows users, channel owners and staff to create pages about channel, services and other interesting titbits of information about DigitalIRC or IRC in general.
The wiki is available at www.digitalirc.org/wiki/
# What is a vhost
A vhost (a.k.a. vanity host or virtual hosts) is a custom part after the @ in your user mask on IRC. For example:
MrRandom!MrRandom@MrRandom.may.explode.on.impact
My vhost when I use the nickname MrRandom is MrRandom.my.explode.on.impact.
As of 20 October 2012 services on DigitalIRC have moved from anope to Atheme. This move will provide more flexability for channel owner while maintaining the current functionality provided by anope, documentation on the site has been updated and all user data has been moved over.
As always if you have any problems feel free to drop by #help @ irc.digitalirc.org
