so because I don't have anything better to do my current setup looks like this: I am using debian 12 in wsl on windows 11 to connect irssi (#irc client) to my znc bouncer on my Debian VPS that connects to #bitlbee on the same VPS to connect to #discord via purple. All that so I can chat with a friend on discord from the terminal instead of switching to the other window.
And the worst is that it works without a hitch.
Right, so this is going down in the flames (when you need $100k to prolong your life for a month). Building #Bitlbee and https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:mcepl/matrirc to get back to the sustainable #IRC universe.
I got tired of having to open and look at ten different programs/websites/devices for instant messaging; and decided to centralize all my IM needs on my irc client with #bitlbee and #libpurple.
But telegram and whatsapp make doing that such a headache that i decided to give up after two days of failed set up. I will just minimize the use of those IMs to check once a week and keep using IRC as The One True group chat as i always have done.
