UnrealIRCd celebrates its 25th birthday
This month UnrealIRCd celebrates its 25th birthday. IRC changed over all those years. There's a clear consolidation, with fewer IRC networks now than before, but IRC is still alive and kicking. That's in part due to a persistent user base but also very much thanks to all those people who keep IRC up...

Re: Unreal 6.1.5 with SSL from COMODO
Perhaps too late right now, but still useful for when your cert at comodo expires a year from now (or for some other IRC server): The docs at https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Using_Let's_Encrypt_with_UnrealIRCd explain how to use let's encrypt with unrealircd. It deals with the "Permission denie...

Re: Launch of sponsorship program & merchandise
Someone pointed out that the Merch shop country selection was rather limited. This has now been fixed. Within the EU orders are bearable with regards to shipping fees and there are no customs or other extra costs involved. For people outside the EU, the shipping costs are higher (not much we can do ...

Re: Funding and donations
Launched now: Launch of Sponsorship program & Merchandise.
Donations page was redone but still needs to look a little better in terms of listing the tiers, and Valware is working on badges.

Launch of sponsorship program & merchandise
Today we are officially launching the sponsorship program and our merchanise shop. Although UnrealIRCd is a free program, we do put a great deal of time, effort, and money into keeping UnrealIRCd alive. Running the related services, like Central Blocklist, costs money too. If you like UnrealIRCd and...

Re: Funding and donations
I've created the tiers now at Patreon https://www.patreon.com/UnrealIRCd/. Of course, the same tiers apply to anyone who has monthly donations (subscription) via PayPal. It's not platform-specific. Still thinking if/what kind of perks we should give, Valware had a list of suggestions but maybe need ...

Re: Funding and donations
I'm back from a coding break and a vacation and looking at the various options. I looked at Open Collective, ready to create an account but then i noticed that at the end of the terms and conditions for both the open source collective and collective europe they have a clause about "Funds Receiv...

Re: Funding and donations
Thanks for joining in, Open Collective sounds interesting. I think if we also go with Patreon and PayPal, then it probably makes sense to have the same policy with regards to monthly backers... like the same "benefits" regardless of which platform is used... whatever these benefits may be....

Re: Funding and donations
Hey Rafael, I am looking more into lowering hosting costs after suggestions from others. I think I can do better with the services that are already behind Cloudflare and I think I will sacrifice the second Central Blocklist (CBL) server. The latter will mean that it in case of trouble, the CBL could...

Funding and donations
Hi everyone, I was wondering if the community has any suggestions on how we can get more donations/funding. Last year UnrealIRCd received 40 EUR in donations, which was the lowest figure ever. Current situation and costs I already spend hundreds of hours per year and do about 80%-90% of the UnrealIR...

Re: [fatal] Could not listen on IP "::" on port 6667: all connections in use
I see. Seems there is a bug in 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 that can happen in some unusual circumstances. Thanks for bringing it up, I will look into fixing it into a future version. You have an unusual low amount of "file descriptors" available to you, the "maximum number of connections" yo...

Re: [fatal] Could not listen on IP "::" on port 6667: all connections in use
Could you show the full output of the UnrealIRCd booting? Including the "This server can handle" line etc.
