As kind of one of my last tests on the IRCNow Bootcamp, I've finally
decided to attach an IRC services package to the IRCd I'm running, which
on this case is Bahamut IRCd, instead of ngIRCd, and using Atheme,
instead of Anope. But it doesn't end there...

> kyokoIRC  -- | kyoko.nsupdate.info: *** Routing -- from
> kyoko.nsupdate.info: Connection to kyokoproject.services activated.
> kyokoIRC  -- | kyoko.nsupdate.info: *** Routing -- from
> kyokoproject.services: Error -- Closing Link: 0.0.0.0 (No Connect block)
> kyokoIRC  -- | kyoko.nsupdate.info: *** Routing -- from
> kyoko.nsupdate.info: Connect error to kyokoproject.services (Connection
> reset by peer)

Linking issues opened the door to Hell, and it took me an hour or
something to get it right, I hope. These are the things I did, mostly on
the IRCd side:

* Listen to port 16667 exclusively for services
* Add a Connect block to the configuration file
* Add a U-Line block to said file

And when I thought everything was lost, I sort of realized what I did
wrong, there were some missing details on Atheme and the aforementioned
daemon, so I went to do this:

* Use port 16667 instead of 6667 because the latter is for regular
clients

* Place an Allow block for servers

and that's pretty much what I sort of did.

A while ago, I was getting this on my client:
> kyokoIRC  -- | kyoko.nsupdate.info: *** Routing -- from
> kyoko.nsupdate.info: Connection to kyokoproject.services activated.
> kyokoIRC  -- | kyoko.nsupdate.info: *** Notice -- Host
> akoizumi.host.thunderirc.net unknown
> 21:22:44 kyokoIRC  -- | kyoko.nsupdate.info: *** Routing -- from
> kyoko.nsupdate.info: Connection to kyokoproject.services activated.

There was some hope sort of, of course I had to change the hostname on
the field to an IP (0.0.0.0), and now I'm waiting for news.

This explains itself, not gonna bother debugging this one.

Is this what I get for not going with the majority? If so, damn it, just
fuck off.
