Are you living in a world without netsplits?
- ryanlol 7y agoNetsplits are pretty rare these days.
- clarry 7y agoYeah? I just counted six netsplits in the past 24 hours that affected a channel I'm on on IRCnet. I still love IRC. My second home.
- ryanlol 7y agoThis is because of IRCnet is operated by multiple entities and has rather peculiar links, other networks are not like this. http://dx.fi/alt/ircmap/fdp.png http://dx.fi/alt/ircmap/fdp.png here’s a map of IRCnet, they’re really going out of their way to generate netsplits. A network operated by a single entity doesn’t need such a silly amount of nodes, you can support hundreds of thousands of IRC uses on a single server.
