Over the last few days Oceanius has moved from Charybdis to Inspircd. Inspircd is an IRC daemon written from scratch to facilitate more modern features like modularity in every part of the service and better anti-spam features.

Part of the decision to move over to new software have been said anti-spam features, but the unsurpassed speed of the irc daemon plays a big role in this as well. Resource usage on our servers have gone down by a little as well, which only benefits the speed of the servers even more. If you’re interested, check out the list of features over on their wiki.

Next to moving ircd’s, we have also acquired a valid signed SSL certificate for ssl.oceanius.com so you don’t have to accept invalid certificates anymore. Simply connect to /server -ssl ssl.oceanius.com 6667 and you’ll be chatting via SSL in no time.
