[ MISSION ]
We are nerds at heart. DevIRC is a privacy-centric IRC network built for 
developers and enthusiasts who value security, anonymity, and the freedom 
to lurk without being tracked. Our infrastructure is distributed across 
resilient nodes to ensure maximum uptime and community stability.

[ HOW TO CONNECT ]
To join the network, use an IRC client (like HexChat, Weechat, or Irssi):

1. Server:   irc.devirc.net
2. Ports:    6697 (SSL/TLS - Recommended)
             6667 (Plaintext)
3. Command:  /join #Home

If you are using a terminal client, you can connect via:
/server irc.devirc.net 6697 -ssl  (Secure)
/server irc.devirc.net 6667       (Plaintext)
