Time to start looking at a proper irc client somewhere. What's the hot favourite these days?
-

Personally I find the stability of IRCCloud unparallel
-
Kaz
I want something dense. I want to see lots and lots of words on screen in one go, I have to access it via ssh from anywhere
-
Kaz
feels very much like an irssi vs weechat debate, I presume there's a ton of plugins for irssi that make it 'usable'
-

Kaz: Are you hard-set on a terminal-based IRC client?
-
phuzion
aka, are you open to something that's a graphical client, but still allows connectivity from anywhere?
-
hexa-
weechat is pretty solid
-
hexa-
and usuable ootb
-
Kaz
Not hard-set no, but I’d pref one client vs like ‘znc and multiple clients’ type thing
-
hexa-
and weechat supports relaying to android et al
-
Kaz
I may have to just bite the bullet on weechat really
-
Kaz
I’ll miss having notifications on iPhone from irccloud but eh, stability sucks
-

Kaz: I use Quassel, it works on a client-server model, basically you install the core, which makes the connections to the IRC servers, and then there are graphical clients for Win/Mac/Linux and iOS/Android that you connect to the core with

phuzion
Also, there's a webserver. Also I have notifications on my iPhone.
-
hexa-
weechat <=> ios is not a great combination
-
phuzion
The webserver is a separate component that you'd have to install, but it works well.

Kaz
Hrm

Kaz
Will have to do some digging into each I guess, thanks both

EggplantN_d: Even IRCCloud is better than that shit you're using though. Did you fix it yet?
-
EggplantN_d
Not fully. Haven't had the time with projects and work :(
-
EggplantN_d
Oh and an 82 yr old. That was a good story

My interaction with kiskaWeebChat is almost 0 :D

So I am not the best person to ask for a client, but thelounge? :P

'access it via ssh from anywhere'
-
kiska
Ah right
-
JAA
And yeah, you're the guy who uses byobu, so you really should give out software recommendations. :-P
-
JAA
shouldn't*
-
HCross_d
LOL
-
HCross_d
yes
-
Kaz
thelounge is just 'irccloud but more overhead and less features'
-
Kaz
even if my time was free, it'd be breakeven at best
