			== Emacs ==
			If you are comfortable with Emacs, then you can also configure the editor to act as an IRC client via <code>erc</code>. For a quick introduction, you can run <code>M-x erc-tls</code>where you will be prompted for a server, a port (the defaults are correct), and a nickname. For a detailed overview of possible configuration options see the [https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ERC ERC Emacs Wiki]. To prettify the default display and for simiilar QOL changes, consider applying some of the configuration options from [https://systemcrafters.cc/live-streams/june-04-2021/ this guide] by System Crafters.
