How to use matrix.org and vector.im as an IRC client

How to Join an IRC Channel on matrix.org

Join the room #freenode_<#channel>:matrix.org, replacing <#channel> with the name of the IRC channel. For example, in order to join the #prometheus IRC channel, join the room #freenode_#prometheus:matrix.org on matrix.org.

In vector.im, rooms can be joined with the directory symbol on the bottom left.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

	"""
	Runs a DBus message loop with a callback to receive... pretty much
	anything on a session bus.
	Listen to the Notify event; if it's a message we hate, record it, then
	listen for the return message, and kill that message.

	Tested On:
	- Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, CPython 3.6.9 (dbus: 1.2.6, gi: 3.26.1)

	To test, try running the following with and without this script running:

	import string

	a = input('Input text to Spongebobify: ')
	b = []
	upper_case = False
	for each in range(0, len(a)):
	if a[each] in string.ascii_letters:
	if not upper_case:
	b.append(a[each].lower())
	upper_case = True
