As a long-time Mint user, I can confirm that Hexchat was (and is) configured to auto-join the Linux Mint IRC channel.

And then there’s me, always setting my alarm clocks to some odd numbers like 7:03 on purpose. Don’t really know what that purpose is, but hey :)

Just recently discovered shelter, too. I would have gotten it way earlier if I knew. Had to install an app that I knew was too grabby with data (luckily for one-time use) and only found out about shelter researching how to stop it from spying too much.
