I updated the tls-patch for ii. Checkout the new fingerprint option.

Use it like this:

# ii -ts irc.example.com -p 6697 -F ""
ii: wrong fingerprint: SHA256:848f491d956befc9b9a79f1000a57b3eb131d424e4bae69b3684d4327fb11f02

# ii -ts irc.example.com -p 6697 -F SHA256:848f491d956befc9b9a79f1000a57b3eb131d424e4bae69b3684d4327fb11f02
NICK user
USER user localhost irc.example.com :user
...

Does this work for you?

bye,
Jan
