Some servers on EFnet are less reliable, there is only one server in the network that allows SSL connections for IRC. Several list it on the site but don’t work at all. The only one that consistently does falls over a fair bit so I’ll somewhat often get a lot of noise in irssi about reconnecting attempts to it. I think the network needs more resiliency and better redundancy for SSL connections, but frankly, DragonFly BSD is just a user of the network like all of us emailing here and have no power in fixing the issue. At least none that I’m aware of.
