Oh my god!
I got a digital ocean droplet and managed to successfully set up ZNC to connect to IRC.
When I wake up I start practicing Assembly I guess for making NES games. ;p
Doing this way just to learn how to program at the lowest level because I'm a concerned the most with performance.
Had to set up an SSH and generate an RSA key and then use the droplets web console to git znc which the GitHub guide gave the wrong url on but I fixed to https:// instead of git://
and so now i'm essentially on Freenode but bouncing it off digital ocean with ZNC.
