I +do not, however, understand why IRC is in the list---I currently host a +small IRC network with a few friends (https://irc.runxiyu.org/), and I +don't really see how normal uses of Internet Relay Chat is relevant to +anonymization.

If this is not allowed +on OVH, I could just not install it when I switch.) + +-- +Best regards, +Runxi Yu (they/them) +https://runxiyu.org/ |
