IRC

#bcache on irc.oftc.net.

Joining from Matrix

#bcache is bridged into Matrix via the official matrix-appservice-irc bridge run by the Matrix.org Foundation. Any Matrix client works — no separate IRC client needed.

Join: #_oftc_#bcache:matrix.org

Matrix users appear in the IRC channel with a [m] suffix on their nick. Multi-homeserver: your homeserver MXID prefix shows up in the IRC user's realname (e.g. org.matrix:nickname, de.tnxip:nickname).

Bridge bot: @oftc-irc:matrix.org

Reporting bridge problems

Bridge issues (dropped messages, missing relays, lost connections, reconnect failures) aren't a bcachefs problem; the bcachefs maintainers can't fix them. Report to the bridge operators:

Known limitations

OFTC doesn't support SASL, so when the bridge reconnects you may need to manually REGAIN your nickname from NickServ. Tracked upstream as matrix-appservice-irc#1483.
