If you want to run irc on your tilde account, you can use weechat
|
||||
which is installed and requires minimal configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
## First connection
|
||||
|
||||
Start weechat on your linux shell and type the following commands:

/connect tilde

||||
|
||||
This will connect you to the irc network via the local machine using a
|
||||
regular connection (which is secure enough since it stays on the local

the "or similar" is important because if you're not the only person trying to use the "or similar" is important because if you're not the only person trying to use `username`, you'll be `username2` or `username3` or whatever.

similar, then you should chose another nickname. You do that by using

"if you didn't chose [sic] a username that is unique in the tilde network, you had kind of bad luck" is correct (except for "chose" instead of "choose"), since both verbs are in the past tense. "if you didn't chose [sic] a username that is unique in the tilde network, you had kind of bad luck" is correct (except for "chose" instead of "choose"), since both verbs are in the past tense.
|
||||
|
||||
You now can register your username using your tilde email address as
|
||||
described here: (nicks)
|
||||
|
||||
After you have done that, you can set the username and password in the
|
||||
weechat settings to automatically log in and authenticate
|
||||
|
||||
/set irc.server.tilde.sasl_username <username>
|
||||
/set irc.server.tilde.sasl_password <password>
|
||||
|
||||
Now disconnect and connect again to get your registered nickname
|
||||
|
||||
/quit
|
||||
run weechat again
|
||||
/connect tilde
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can join any channel, e.g. #helpdesk
