Ok more clarity on the oftc irc situation. It uses a custom ircd https://github.com/oftc/oftc-ircservices/ but it's on track to migrate to atheme: https://github.com/oftc/oftc2atheme

Here's atheme: https://github.com/atheme/atheme

Meanwhile libera is using technology such as https://github.com/Libera-Chat/sable

So before I can really propose an alternative to oftc ircd, I should come up with a way of getting the current services up and running.

https://github.com/oftc/oftc-ircservices

Should I start in podman? virtual machine? cloud server (linode)? codespace? segfault?

I think probably virtual machine or container. Or just bare metal (wsl actually) and see if I can get it working sorta.
