Secure indymedia IRC connections
You can connect to irc.indymedia.org via SSL, which will encrypt communications between you and the server. The IRCd working group explicitly recommends SSL encrypted connections over non-encrypted ones. Please note that you may not be able to join some channels if the channel maintainers have chosen to disallow non SSL users.
To use IRC via SSL (encrypted connection), you need to connect your SSL-supportive IRC client to port 6697. You can usually do this with /server -ssl, or /sslserver depending on your client software.

Example of completed recipe.
Note: This is an old fashioned D-I-Y recipe. There are also alternative "cooks in 1 minute" recipes (see below). However, the old-school method is one of the best options because everything is under your own control. Cellphones can get viruses that can allow remote exploits and secret data collection of your calls made, etc.
How to make a live video feed
If you go to livestream.com they have a couple of different links as to how to do it on there. But essentially, you have to either have a webcam on your laptop, or a smart phone.
The laptop has to have Wi-Fi access or a 5g card to attach to laptop and feed off that.
From your cellphone, there is a link that tells you if your phone is compatible and then you download an app....Qik I believe? and then you can livestream directly from your phone onto the website.
Extended range Wi-Fi
Seattle Wireless and Metrix communications have everything you need to do very long range Wi-Fi.
