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 I used to use irc a while ago, what tools would you recommend using these days to get a good UX from it (was thinking about going back to it)
@andysomniac I still use irssi, but I'm a dinosaur haha
@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)
@adia Thanks for this recommendation, trying it out now and it seems good
@andysomniac @aphyr same except it's mosh+tmux+erc
mosh is a nice bonus because of the instant reconnect feature.
highly recommend!
