[2025-06-12T04:57:17Z] <plasm0duck> anyone using birch?
[2025-06-12T04:57:43Z] <plasm0duck> I've just started using it. It's nice. But how do I set my nick in the script instead of using my shell username?
[2025-06-12T04:58:06Z] <plasm0duck> It's a bit confusing. Also does birch support tls? I doubt it.
[2025-06-12T05:01:39Z] <kris_> still kind of wild to me that birch is a thing
[2025-06-12T05:01:42Z] <kris_> it's very neat
[2025-06-12T09:16:51Z] <sewn> and very unusuable
[2025-06-12T15:30:01Z] <kiedtl> it's like a code golfing project
[2025-06-12T15:30:53Z] <kiedtl> Plasmoduck, birch uses bash's builtin network features, which I don't think has tls support
[2025-06-12T15:35:35Z] <thomas_adam> If it's using /dev/tcp then it won't support TLS.

[2025-06-12T21:37:49Z] <midfavila> god damnit
[2025-06-12T21:37:57Z] <midfavila> that would explain why nothing works today
[2025-06-12T21:38:09Z] <midfavila> >blows on a google server
[2025-06-12T21:38:12Z] <midfavila> >half the web falls apart
[2025-06-12T21:52:20Z] <sad_plan> thats one argument for decentralization :p
[2025-06-12T23:10:54Z] <kiedtl> blame poor iot security and the resulting botnets
[2025-06-12T23:11:06Z] <kiedtl> cloudflare has business for a reason unfortunately
