After a few searches, I saw the link , which has documentation about lengthening nick expiry. The documentation mentioned if a nick is inactive for 60 weeks (approximately one year); while writing this blog, I searched for a definition of expired nick on IRC. Which took me to the Nickname Registration page of IRC, where they mentioned the nickname expiry section “While nicknames and accounts do not automatically get deleted when they expire—only when another user requests to take over the registration-we do occasionally perform clean-up runs on the services database, in which we will automatically drop all registrations which have been idle for a long time”.

According to OpenAI DALL·E 2 is a new AI system that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language.

According to the oxford dictionary, Conundrum means a “confusing and difficult problem or question”. I feel compassionate towards living beings. Therefore, I always try not to kill insects/animals, and if I find them stuck, I always help them so that they can live. For example, I always take out an ant that has fallen into a water bowl.
