Hi,
the DNS name for irc.wikimedia.org [1] will be redirected to a new
instance (irc2001.wikimedia.org) tomorrow (European) morning. This new
instance is running a more recent OS (Debian 10/Buster).

Mediawiki changes are currently broadcasted to both the old server
(kraz.wikimedia.org) and the new irc2001.wikimedia.org. As such, the
failover should be transparent, unless for some reason a bot has
hardcoded kraz.wikimedia.org or it's IP address 208.80.153.44 (which
will then need to be updated to resolve irc.wikimedia.org). The old
instance will be around for another week.

If there are any issues, please report them at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224579

Cheers,
Moritz
