How to connect to DarkIRC

This guide explains how to set up DarkIRC, the Internet Relay Chat application of the DarkFI project, on a Virtual Private Server running Debian, and it frames the effort as a move away from trusting centralized communication services. The author says DarkIRC grants a very high degree of anonymity because it does not rely on a central server. The steps cover securing SSH access, creating a separate darkirc user, building the software from source using Rust, and connecting through Tmux and the WeeChat client. The guide marks several security compromises with a wilting flower symbol, including warnings that default DarkIRC channels are public and that nicknames are the only identifying information shared.
