Someone pointed out that the Merch shop only accepts a shipping address in The Netherlands. Whoops. Will be fixed soon.

Today I have released UnrealIRCd 6.1.5 stable. This is a regular release with various enhancements and bug fixes. More information in the release notes . I can also announce the official launch of our sponsorship program and merchandise shop . If you like UnrealIRCd and want to support us then consi...

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.

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...

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 ...

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...

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....

Great suggestions and good points from both!

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...

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...

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...

Could you show the full output of the UnrealIRCd booting? Including the "This server can handle" line etc.

Thanks for the report. You are right, I checked the registration procedure and something was apparently hanging. After restarting the process, it worked. I double checked and it seems you were the only unfortunate one who was affected by this issue. Could you redo the procedure once more? It should ...

Great!

If you follow the tutorial then you should not have a set::ssl or set::tls block. If you have such a set::tls::key/certificate then better to remove that. That way, the default cert and key will be from conf/tls/server.cert.pem and the like. That default will then be used for outgoing SSL/TLS connec...
