this way, since you're already authenticated via SSH.

-Generally, yes. If you're running something that's using a ton of resources or in some way affecting other users or the general use of the system, - then we'll kill it. Just be aware of what you're running and how it may affect the system and other users.
- -Are IRC bots allowed?
-Yes, though there are restrictions on their use on the tilde.chat
IRC network. They should not reside in #meta
, instead keep
- them in a private channel or in #bots
