After botka was banned by Libera.Chat for some reason, I improved the IRC config a little bit, but wasn't able to make SASL connections work. It looked to me like our version of node-irc has a bug in its SASL implementation, where the username ends up including additional characters.

Thus, when we can finally upgrade to the latest node-irc, we should make sure to connect using SASL from then on.

After testing the linked fix, and it also not working, I have ragequit this issue and recently configured botka to connect to Libera.Chat through a ZNC bouncer (which is using SASL, too). Not interested in looking into this further, since ZNC is just rock-solid.
