[GNC] ANNOUNCE: IRC: irc.gnome.org Alias Changed

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

It sounds like you are still pointing to irc.gnome.org.

irc.gnome.org is an alias for irc.libera.chat.
irc.libera.chat has address 46.16.175.175
irc.libera.chat has address 51.89.226.78
irc.libera.chat has address 188.240.145.101
irc.libera.chat has IPv6 address 2001:41d0:801:1000::a44
irc.libera.chat has IPv6 address 2001:4b7a:a008::6667
irc.libera.chat has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:78::101

irc.gimp.net is an alias for irc.gimp.org.
irc.gimp.org has address 130.239.18.219
irc.gimp.org has address 54.39.222.199
irc.gimp.org has address 130.239.18.217
irc.gimp.org has address 51.15.53.172
irc.gimp.org has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::219
irc.gimp.org has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::217


irc.libera.chat and irc.gimp.org are different networks.  As you can see,
there is no overlap in Server IP Addresses.

Yes, I have gone to irc.libera.chat and registered #gnucash with them,
pointing them back to irc.gimp.org.  But all the traffic is still on
irc.gimp.org.
