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…

Does it not bother you that irccloud can see everything you type/read on IRC?

Not in the least, should it?

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

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

I run znc + znc-push [1] + pushover [2] for push notifications on Android. Works like a charm.

> 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…

Is there a similar service (paid perhaps) to build for macOS?

Gosh, BitchX. Now there's something I have fond memories of. I wonder where panasync is now?

He's into computer-aided manufacturing these days.

I wanted to use irccloud, but many IRC networks ban it in a blanket policy against "browser-based clients" because they can't get an IP address to ban if you misbehave.

That's not true, if the network is ipv6 aware, each user gets his own ipv6 with irccloud. Not to mention the hardcoded usernames. I'm against irccloud (you're paying to be man in the middled) but they definitely sorted the "can not ban" problem.

Well it's been a while since I used it, but this was the state of it when I did.

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.

Mutter is great and free. https://www.mutterirc.com/

Can I also use a desktop client on my Mac and have private messages etc. synced properly to both Mutter and some-desktop-client-x ?

I remember having problems with this in the past using ZNC and separate mobile/laptop clients.

Have you tried Matrix (e.g. riot.im [1])? It even has an IRC bridge, for free.

> Why but just run a bouncer > like znc Same reason I stopped running my own mailserver and mutt; there are a limited number of things I have bandwidth for, and I'd much rather pay a tiny amount of money for someone else to Just Do It, and do it right. Also mobile.

https://riot.im/ has an IRC bridge! It works quite nicely.
