    The site was down earlier, including the backup address. I went to pop on to the IRC server to see if there was any information there, but couldn't connect. Does running it yourself mean there will be a single point of failure for both?

    Actually, none of the IRC servers were done. Someone messed with the DNS.

    So yeah, the DNS was the real point of failure in this case.

    very good point! Having a private server bound to this service kind of defeats the purpose of having an independent back channel.

      I'm not sure where you got the impression I was saying anything in that direction, at all.

        single point of failure because of dependent backchannel vs. independent backchannel...

        Yes yes, you implied exactly that.

          Correct. I misinterpreted what was being said.
