Hey everyone!

We are excited to announce that we have a hosted IRC bouncer and web client that all pico users can use.

# Guide

• soju man page
• bouncer: ircs://irc.pico.sh:6697
• web client: chat.pico.sh

# Generate a login token for bouncer

• SSH into a pico service CMS (e.g. ssh prose.sh)
• Select "tokens" submenu
• Type "n" to generate a new token
• Save token someplace safe

# Log into chat.pico.sh

• You'll be redirected to auth.pico.sh which implements a fake oauth2 service
• Enter the token from above
• Click submit

# Back to chat.pico.sh

• Click "remember me" (this is important)
• You'll see an error "Cannot interact with channels and users on the bouncer connection. Did you mean to use a specific network?" that's okay
• Message BouncerServ (/msg BouncerServ help) to configure the bouncer

# Connecting to irc.libera.chat/#pico.sh

• /msg BouncerServ help
• network create -addr irc.libera.chat -name libera -nick <user> -enabled false
• sasl set-plain -network libera <user> <pass>
• network update libera -enabled true
• /j #pico.sh
• Join any other channels or networks using the same method!
