Why but just run a bouncer like znc? I even have push notifications when I get tagged or a add a special keyword.

No mobile clients that adaquately supports server-time / playback. I use znc+rcirx w/ some hacks to support server-time, but I still use irccloud on my phone. I can get push notifications to my phone with a ZNC module so that's not really the hold up.

I feel like I just discovered the Coelacanth isn't actually extinct. I initially assumed either: 1) I misread the name of something that merely looked like irssi, or 2) there was a new project names irssi that unfortunately used a name of a much older project. There was a several year period of my life where the vast majority of my online communication took place inside irssi. And that time was not particularly recen…

Nah, that's when you hear BitchX has done a new release.

BitchX forever!! :P (seriously though, not really, I could never figure out how to actually use that client)

Wait, what?

That was what everyone in my 'hood was using, back in the golden age of IRC.

Happy to see IRC still going strong. While I switched to irccloud.com a couple years ago--persistent session is so nice, especially for mobile!--I used CLI clients for years before. Amusing blast from the past: back in the 90's I worked at General Magic, and wrote my own IRC client [1] for our handheld devices. I attached a Metricom wireless modem to the bottom of mine and could be on IRC from anywhere ; it was like…

I'm also glad to see IRC still going strong. I much prefer IRC to StackExchange (not to diminish StackExchange, it's an amazing website) when looking for answers to questions. Not because I always get an answer, but when I do it's pretty quick and it's nice to have a direct conversation with the person who is helping. In addition, there are a lot of nice little channels out there that are just fun to hang out in.

Gitter seems to be filling in this niche by connecting a Slack-like experience to project IRC channels. The client needs a bit of work, but it's pretty good as is I think.

Is it push notifications as in notifications pushed to your android/ios device? If so, how did you set it up?

I run a persistent irssi session accessible via SSH on a RPi at home, and I use this awesome irssi script + Android app to get push notifications for PMs/mentions: https://irssinotifier.appspot.com/

I do the same with an rpi/docker container. There is a pushbullet script too if you're interested.

> Binary test packages for various Linux distributions are automatically generated by the openSUSE Build Service The most underused Linux service to the rest of the community. So glad they are using this.

For those who don't know, the Open Build Service is a project mainly maintained by the openSUSE community. Aside from building all of the packages for openSUSE and SUSE's enterprise distributions, it also can build Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux, Red Hat and Fedora packages. It also has a collaboration system which is the primary way that openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise are built. [Disclaimer: I work for SUSE and am a…

Thank you for your work. It really needs to be used by more projects. This could be the destination for anyone wanting to make packages for Linux and not just Ubuntu! Can you get some people promoting this thing!!!

palaver (iOS) and ZNC do the server-time playback quite nicely as long as you use up to date versions. (and also push notifications) ircv3 specification is shaping up to have even better capabilities there too.

I use Android
