Enter *#freedombone* as the channel name.

*** Changing or removing the IRC password
By default the IRC server is set up to require a password for users to log in. The password is the same for all users. If you want to change or remove the password:
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
sudo control
#+END_SRC
Select the *IRC Menu* and then change the password. An empty password will allow anyone to log in, so you can have a globally accessible IRC system if you wish, although you might want to carefully consider whether that's wise.

It's also a good way to ensure that your [[between different devices ][OTR keys]] are the same even when logging in from different laptops or devices, and it also means that if those devices later become compomised then there are no locally stored OTR keys to be found.
