Yeah, I wouldn't want to burden Freenode with that, but IRC is an interesting choice. I'll use the terminating character, thanks for your time!

- kragen 7y agoRight, the benefit of using IRC is that you don't have to write the server; there are dozens of well-known, actively-maintained free-software servers, they're well-documented, and they already support epoll and kqueue and have reasonable ways of handling all kinds of pathological network conditions. But maybe a simple asyncio-based event loop, or even threads, would be fine for itsalive.
