DO is really nice for this, and the bandwidth helps when you need to proxy traffic through it, for example twitch.tv is very slow here yet routing through DO I can reach 2.1mb/s (using twitch-dl i can reach full SSD Disk speed(!!).)

I switched everything to DO a month ago and I'm loving it. I've been very impressed as well.

>> just as a layer of separation for when I am on IRC

What do you mean by this? Using your DO VM as a proxy?

Essentially, yes. Sometimes as a proxy and sometimes straight from shell (irssi). My long term goal is to tailor an IRC bot to represent me virtually while I am unavailable (at work, etc).

Sounds like you want http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC

Just get an IRC boucer. I like BIP.

I'm talking about AI style responses based off a dataset I provide. Not just presence. =)

Thanks! =]
