Here's a summary about the Freenode stuff that I thought was helpful. I don't know where this is all going to settle out, but I've registered #riemann and #jepsen over on irc.libera.chat. Will stick around on Freenode for a bit just in case. https://gist.github.com/joepie91/df80d8d36cd9d1bde46ba018af497409
@aphyr fair. My main issue these days is that I want a way to check for messages sent while offline and was wondering what the current approach to that was
@andysomniac ah, I use screen for that 😆
@andysomniac (basically I keep an irssi process running on aphyr.com for years on end and just attach/detach via ssh/screen as needed)
@aphyr did not think of that, may have to do that myself :)
@andysomniac @aphyr same except it's mosh+tmux+erc
mosh is a nice bonus because of the instant reconnect feature.
highly recommend!
@adia Thanks for this recommendation, trying it out now and it seems good
@andysomniac @aphyr this may be an unpopular opinion, but i use an IRC bridge to my matrix server.
one client to install for irc/slack/discord/matrix/telegram that keeps all my chat history archived and searchable in one self hosted service.
@andysomniac I'm personally a fan of #Hexchat. YMMV.
@andysomniac I still use irssi, but I'm a dinosaur haha
