A quick primer on the tech that powers millions of real-time conversations every day:
What is IRC?
More on WikipediaInternet Relay Chat is one of the oldest and most battle-tested chat systems in the world. It enables chatting in channels with a group of people or individual messages between users.
There are various big, public IRC networks available for different target groups to use, like Libera Chat, IRCnet, UnderNet, OFTC, EFnet, Rizon or QuakeNet.
To connect to those networks you can either use one of the popular IRC applications like mIRC, WeeChat, Konversation, Textual or HexChat or use web-based clients like The Lounge or KiwiIRC.
ZNC is an open-source IRC bouncer software. It sits between your client and the actual IRC server and therefore provides a layer of security in between and doesn't expose your IP address.
Furthermore it stays connected to the IRC server, even if you're not online. It will record channel and personal messages while you're away and will relay them to you upon your next connect.
It comes with a broad plugin universe (like notifications, automations, auto-logins etc.) that can enhance your experience greatly.
