Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any services like NickServ or ChanServ?


Why aren't there any services?

People tend to register with services, leaving behind their mail addresses or other data we don't want to have and don't want to be in charge of.

But i want services!

Ok. Just use a bot that gives you op or whatever you need. Authentication towards the bot is possible through client certs or a multitude of different means.

How do I use a client certificate?

First you need to create one:

openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -days 365 -x509 -keyout irssi.key -out irssi.crt -nodes -subj "/CN=yournick"

Next you need to configure your client to use it. If you use irssi, add the following options to the darkfasel server config:

servers = (
    ssl_cert = "~/irssi.crt";
    ssl_pkey = "~/irssi.key";

Don't give away your private key!

What's the difference to blafasel?

Some blafasel users weren't too happy with the missing security features of blafasel, so they forked a darkfasel net.
