This is clear to me.

I understand this. TMSR is not beholden to these networks. They are dying for their own sins, and if they properly understood the situation they would be on their knees begging the republic to join.

I would prefer to use Pizarro if resources are available.

I explained my problem more clearly here: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-10-04#1004607

It is absolutely wrong to interact with the subhumans to any extent and in any way based on any kind of consideration given to what their pre-linguistic vomit / ebullution might supposedly be taken as or interpreted to if the speaker were in fact a republican.

It makes exactly zero difference what they say they want, what they think they said they want, what they thought they wanted etcetera etcetera. In all times and places interaction with the subhuman mass starts with an order, not with an inquiry. "Give me your bra", not "What kinds of things do you like to do". The quality of their obedience is then judged, by republican criteria only, and dictates the manner in which the relationship is continued. Specifically : whether they have to go to the ovens, or not just yet, or perhaps may even elevate their sad bios existence into actual zoon humanity.

So nevermind all that boihood fretting in a corner. Contact them, tell them what is what, let them make some kind of answer and publicize that.

And, to be perfectly clear as to "what is what" : we, the most serene republic, are offering them hardware, in principle as much as they need but starting with one server ; and they will recognize us as a first class member exactly, meaning we are part of all their boards / decision making processes / etcetera ; and that in no case anyone involved in any way has any priviledge either qualitatively or quantitatively in excess of what is extended us, starting with one representative we'll nominate. Ie, ~federation~, not some kind of "gimme bux for free cuz i'm speshul, daddy!" that'll in due time necessarily end with more bob beck burnings. The becks ain't worth the kindle, if it's not self-obvious by now.

Exactly how and in what order or by what timing etcetera you choose to present the foregoing to make it stick is entirely your business (and entirely the job descriptiobn of a diplomatic agent), but it is what it is, and that precisely it fucking stays.

> my server far exceeds the recommended specifications

It doesn't have to be your own server unless for some reason you specifically wish to. We have an isp which can front this for you just as well, not like they don't have rack space or machinery or anything.

I confess this made no sense. Wut ?!

You've seen list items on trilema neh ?

That gov-bla is probably their way of saying that they own "your" server and therefore you should expect that they pass on *all* your data there to anybody asking for it.

What's the more exact status re running ircd?
