 Its simple no-frills interface has led to IRC being affectionately nicknamed //Multiplayer Notepad//. To win in IRC, you go and talk, become popular, amass friends, and get ops. Now for most things in life you can just go read Wikipedia, but IRC is confusing as fuck. So let's break it down for the new operatives to learn. Its simple no-frills interface has led to IRC being affectionately nicknamed //Multiplayer Notepad//.

-The Anonymous Military Institute's [[ami:irc|Chat Room]] is located at **#ami** on [[irc://irc.hackint.org/ami|irc.hackint.org]]. If you are using IRC for the first time, it is recommended you use the [[https://chat.hackint.org/?join=ami|webchat]], or install [[https://hexchat.github.io/|HexChat]].

 Chat rooms on IRC are called **channels**, which are hosted on **servers**. One server will typically have many channels, and not everyone in one channel will be in the other channels on the same server. Before you can join a channel, you have to connect to a server first. Chat rooms on IRC are called **channels**, which are hosted on **servers**.

-There are many servers, but for the sake of this tutorial, we will use **Hackint** as an example, since that's where the AMI's channel is hosted. In most clients, you can do this with the ''/server'' command:+There are many servers, none of who want demo traffic from this article, so for the sake of this article we will be joining the nonexistent **#test** channel on **irc.server.org**. In most clients, you can do this with the ''/server'' command:
  
-  /server irc.hackint.org+  /server irc.server.org
      
-Once you are connected, you can type ''/join #ami'' to join our channel.+Once you are connected, you can type ''/join #test'' to join the channel.
  
 All channels are prefixed with the pound (#) sign //(like a hashtag)//. You can type ''/list'' to get a full list of other channels on the server, which you can also join with the ''/join'' command. All channels are prefixed with the pound (#) sign //(like a hashtag)//.

-  /server add hackint irc.hackint.org/6697 -ssl -autoconnect+  /server add SERVERNAME irc.server.org/6697 -ssl -autoconnect
      
-Then, use the ''/connect'' command to connect to Hackint:+Then, use the ''/connect'' command to connect:
  
-  /connect hackint+  /connect SERVERNAME
      
-Once you are connected, you can type ''/join #ami'' to enter our IRC channel. To test that autoconnect works, type ''/quit'' to exit WeeChat. Then reopen WeeChat. It should dump you right back into #ami on Hackint. There is no real limit to how many servers/channels you can have WeeChat automatically join.+Once you are connected, you can type ''/join #test'' to enter the channel.

 To keep WeeChat alive on a remote machine, simply run it inside [[tools:byobu]] or [[tools:tmux]] via [[tools:ssh|SSH]]. Then just reattach to your session when you SSH back in. To keep WeeChat alive on a remote machine, simply run it inside [[tools:byobu]] or [[tools:tmux]] via [[tools:ssh|SSH]].
