I made a simple wiki page on the #IndieWeb site today and then joined the #IRC web chat https://indieweb.org/discuss for a while. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, thank you! 🥰
I'm not that familiar with IRC, but I remember using a green ducky (logo) app on macOS maybe 10 years ago? I am now searching for an IRC client for Mac / Android. Will try WeeChat on Mac Goguma on Android later. What do you use?
My current WeeChat setup
Since it's come up in conversation a couple of times in the past week (waves at @snowdusk__ and @yarmo), here's a #screenshot of my current #WeeChat setup (though with different buffers selected than my usual arrangement).
"What am I looking at on the screenshot?"
A buffer list ¹ on the left. Buffers represent the channels, private message streams and status timelines from the various chat media you are connected to.
Side the buffer list are a variety of horizontally and vertically panes, which @weechat called 'windows', each window showing the contents of one
² of the buffers.
"What buffers are visible in these window panes?"
From top left to bottom right these are:
"What's making it work?"
All running in a #tmux terminal multiplexer session, running under #WSL2 on #Windows, in the #WindowsTerminalPreview #terminal client.
(Repost to fix an at-mention...)
Footnotes
¹ though I still use buffers.pl script rather than the built-in buflist plugin because I'm too lazy to migrate my settings to make it look and act in the way I've gotten used to.
² or more, as buffers can be merged, displaying the contents of each of the merged buffers chronologically in the same window pane.
