Well, it's simple. Don't do it.

Plot twist: It's actually a D-flip-flop. :-)

To be honest, I've never encountered an IRCd where it is NOT a single command through NickServ. Setting up SASL authentication takes another single command, as far as I know. Of course, this does not involve certificate issuance through openssl command line. As for cloaking, one typically needs to ask the staffers. In Libera the process is automatic if you just want the user cloak, but let's say it's two commands: joining a channel, and saying "!cloakme" or whatever. :-) Glad to see another fellow IRCer, by the way. o/

What about the registration you find so painful? It takes a single command to register a nick, if that's what you mean.

I feel like this is completely missing the point of what IRC is.

I appreciate its text-only nature and would never want to see image/video embeds and/or voice chat in my client.

I'm sorry, I should have pointed out what I was replying to.

> A PW manager relying on only a single password as the encryption key - and one that you type in frequently, mind you - has always been a little of a design issue to me.

Yes, I meant 2FA via FIDO2. It strengthens up the entrance to your vault. No key? No entry.

How does DD-WRT compare to RouterOS?

Just curious, why Namecheap?

I'm surprised, actually. I expected at least an order of magnitude more. In my humble opinion, this is still a lot of memory -- probably an order of magnitude (or even two) more than what is realistically required for the task. But this is just my own philosophy, and I do realize that the days of careful memory utilization are long gone.

Thanks for sharing.

Are you aware of Yubikeys?

Presumably, it's a memory hog. What is your RAM usage?

Besides being slow, I found it buggy as hell. For instance, I wanted to log in with my Yubikey on my phone, and it flat out refused to let me in despite the master password and the PIN being 100% correct. There's even an open issue on Github about this, that they're doing absolutely nothing about, demonstrating the incompetence further at some really grand scales.

I do not understand. Why is this a problem?
