 Ok. Just use a bot that gives you op or whatever you need. Authentication towards the bot is possible through client certs or a multitude of different means.
+===== How do I use a client certificate? =====
+First you need to create one:
+<code>
+openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -days 365 -x509 -keyout irssi.key -out irssi.crt -nodes -subj "/CN=yournick"
+</code>
+Next you need to configure your client to use it.
+If you use irssi, add the following options to the darkfasel server config:
+<code>
+servers = (
+  […]
+  {
+    […]
+    ssl_cert = "~/irssi.crt";
+    ssl_pkey = "~/irssi.key";
+  }
+)
+</code>
+Don't give away your private key!

-Some blafasel users weren't too happy with the missing security features of blafasel, so they forked a darkfasel net. By now, most of the active blafasel channels and users have moved to darkfasel.
