This blew my mind.

IRC client running on ESP32 — listening messages from #linux channel on libera.chat

Built with Rust & @ratatui_rs — thanks to mousefood: https://github.com/j-g00da/mousefood

"Wann kommst du denn endlich mal nach München?" - "Wenn ichs mir mal leisten kann und nicht arbeiten muss." Das war so n Schuckel. Und die Zeit war scheiße damals. Die Leute dachten immer, Ich würd sie verarschen. :( #irc

blasting #kmfdm, idling in #irc, and setting up various #linux #infosec tools. i haven't changed much since i was 14 years old i guess.

Two major nodes of the #IRC network #Aitvaras have been upgraded to UnrealIRCd version 6.1.10. The podman containers for the services are based on CentOS Stream 10. https://github.com/kareiva/unrealircd-docker https://quay.io/repository/kareiva/unrealircd

So today I stumbled across a whiteboard implementation for #IRC I am actually seriously considering adding this in @pidgin 3.0 because we have a bunch of whiteboard code but don't currently have a way to test it.. Thoughts?

OMG an organic #irc server

Today's design brainworm: Matrix, but usable like Discord, and e2e encryption by default. Biggest usability win would be not losing all the messages when the server gets upgraded.

Not even writing this one down, I don't have time.

Update: not sure what Matrix server I was that bit about losing messages, but apparently it’s wrong!

Vi aspettiamo su #IRC, in particolare su:

#fediverso, dove troverete tra gli altri, anche "verne", bot caricato a #SA Stupidità Artificiale..
su #gemini-it per parlare di #geminiprotocol, non l'altro :)
e infine su #xmpp-it (devo spiegarlo?)

I think I’m going to start running The Lounge

Matrix has been a net negative to public chat room standards, slow, buggy, unnecessary encryption

Who knows I might find & fix some The Lounge bugs along the way.

So what's the IRC client du jour if you're not into terminals and you want it to stay online? Is it still The Lounge? Or some bouncer + local client? How is the connection to it managed securely?

Ok AI I’ll allow it #irc #piratesirc

Today I cobbled together a weird construction where I managed to sent updates on our local newsnet (nntp) forum to rss and then have the feed announced as new posts on our IRC server.

And I feel like all this must have been solved before and easier but it's not like you can find this stuff doing a search anymore.

Call me old fashioned or just plain old, but I'd take #irc or #xmpp over #discord any day.

Botten Anna was release in 2006... I'm so old....

Honestly, the open standards internet is still there, beneath the surface. I've got my user generated content here on the #fediverse, my spoken word content in #Castamatic powered by open #RSS feeds and #Podcasting20, I read my articles in @NetNewsWire, again from regular ole RSS, and I can chat on #IRC or @matrix. It may not be the mainstream any more unfortunately, but it's still alive and going, protect it.
