after a few weeks of not doing anything but playing Shadow of War when I had the time, today I went and installed an eggdrop bot on my little rpi #irc server. Then spent the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out why it wouldn't want to join any channels.
@ChrisWere A year ago I did a survey about #Messenger apps with more options.
Result: 1. Signal (21%), 2. Threema (15%), 3. WhatsApp (12%), 4. Matrix + Telegram (9%), 6. XMPP (7%), 7. Discord (8%), ...
I had forgotten #IRC there, but it wasn't mentioned in the open answers either.
hey techies of fedi: does anyone have a noob guide on how to start using IRC? think like finding communities, getting into The Culture and so on - last time I used IRC was… 10 years ago? and it was for a flash game anyways
@hund man, this hurts. #Hexchat was the first #IRC client I tried under Linux, way back when, as a newb, I'd hop on the ubuntu channel and ask my questions. I kept using it for a long time until I learned to set up irssi, and still would use it in some livecds.
So I'm not particularly "affected" by this, but it does have a special place in my heart.
@aks the closest one can reliably get to that idea right now is an #Ergo#IRC network with first party gateways allowing access from #XMPP and #Matrix. I run such a network and while I wish the current gateways had better #IRCv3 support, it is working quite well overall.
Mit den werten Mitstreitern aus dem #Holarse#IRC ging es die letzten Wochen Dead Island: Riptide an den Kragen.
Eben ist uns das Ende gelungen. 1x durchgespielt, bitte sehr, bitte gleich.
Es waren einige verzockte Abende zusammen und Spaß hat es gemacht.
Bis zur nächsten Mehrspielerpartie.
En mode recherche pour mon bouquin... Allo, les geeks, quel est pour vous le meilleur client IRC sur OSX ? Et quel est le réseau IRC que vous consultez le plus, notamment pour le libre ? Libera ? Est-ce que vous vous en servez encore beaucoup ?
@loevenbruck
Je comprends pas la question mais sinon, j'ai été modératrice sur différents salons de tchat sur wanadoo et sur epiknet. Tu pourras le mettre dans ton livre stp?
Is there not a media attachment/transfer extension for #irc (v3)? I suppose there is DCC but it seems bad for actual file transfers compared to just about any other p2p protocol, or http. Basic things like resuming transfers or chunking and compression.
Joined the Signal username land grab, got the usual handle. Question arises: Best practices on posting/sharing. At the moment you have to know my phone # to Signal me, but that’s very easy to figure out. So, initially inclined to just post the username. Hmmmmmm…
@timbray Using a well known username for #Signal is a recipe for receiving lots of spam. I'll bet that's the main reason why Signal does not currently have much spam. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use my public handle. Signal does well with smaller numbers of people and less active chats. Very active chats or large groups are quite painful in my experience as compared to @element Signal's use case is communicating with people you know, while #Matrix#IRC#Mastodon are for big/active groups
Cela dit, placer le code source sur GitHub pour qu’il “demeure là-bas jusqu’à la fin de Microsoft”, alors que GitHub n’est lui-même qu’une “poubelle à retardement” qui peut virer (et l’a déjà fait) n’importe quel projet à sa seule discrétion, c’est pas la meilleure idée du monde, je dirais. :/
(Et avant de dire “oui, mais on peut le reprendre” : c’est JUSTEMENT parce que PERSONNE n’a voulu le maintenir, malgré un appel pour ça, que ce logiciel est abandonné !)
@yakkoj Only in apps - on the desktop or web version, you have to enable developer mode to get some internal IDs, then go to a separate form on their website, and enter your contact details!
