One of our client servers, stockholm-se.pirateirc.net hosted by the Swedish Pirate Party is offline for the moment.
The DNS pool has been updated and you should be able to connect via other servers for the moment. We’ll update this post once the issue has been resolved.
Update: stockholm-se.pirateirc.net is now stable again and has been re-added to the DNS pool.
Please make our new server feel welcome:
tallinn-ee.pirateirc.net hosted in Tallinn, Estonia.
This server supports IPv4, certified SSL and SASL authentication and is approved as the official server for the Piraattipuolue, Pirate Party of Finland.
Today (Sunday 29th of April) we’re going to start a round of network-wide upgrades which will include updates to the services, webchat and replacing the SSL certificates.
We’ll issue broadcasts before anything is done that may affect your idling on the network as usual.
Update: as of now, Tuesday May 8th we’re largely happy most of the upgrades have been completed without incident.
We’ll shortly be performing some routine maintenance and upgrades that primarily affect the UK side of the network.
You may be disconnected briefly as the particular IRCd you are connected to is restarted, however the downtime will be very brief. Part of this is preparing for a larger upgrade in April.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused!
Update: the maintenance has been completed without significant issues.
On PirateIRC we use charybdis as our IRC server. There’s lots of modes and options that many people don’t use so we’ve mirrored the excellent PDF oper manual written by the authors of charybdis for anyone interested to browse through.
Our hidden Tor client server, 6lqaoo6bwnx5qmx6.onion, will be undergoing some maintenace later today and will be unavailable for a short time.
Update: the Tor server should be upgraded and back to it’s usual self now!
Our Swedish server, stockholm-se.pirateirc.net, is undergoing maintenance for a few hours and will be back shortly. In the mean time it has been removed from the DNS pools so you can continue using the PirateIRC network on our other servers.
Update: as of earlier this morning the maintenance was completed without issue and stockholm-se is now back. Thanks Swedes!
stockholm-se.pirateirc.net has been upgraded to support native IPv6 with the address:
2001:67c:2a0:2e0::228
We’ve updated the DNS so you can connect immediately if you have an IPv6-enabled Internet connection and IRC client to the Swedish server.
We’ve added a hidden client server on the Tor network:
6lqaoo6bwnx5qmx6.onion hosted in… well we’re not saying.
This server supports SSL and SASL authentication. Please note that as this is a Tor server on an .onion address the SSL certificate is self-signed unlike the rest of the network. Additionally to prevent abuse SASL authentication is required for using this server. Please make sure your IRC client of choice has the relevant options, plug-ins or scripts enabled to provide SASL authentication.
Please make our new server feel welcome:
stockholm-se.pirateirc.net hosted in Stockholm, Sweden.
This server supports IPv4, certified SSL and SASL authentication and is approved as the official server for the Piratpartiet Sweden.
