gollark: It is.
gollark: I'm either going to use ngIRCd, which is seemingly quite sane, actively developed, and in the arch repos, or oragono, which supports modern features and should be fairly okay to install.
gollark: no.
gollark: I'm not using ircu as it is not in arch's repos.
gollark: Do you have any advice on this?
