¿Sigue vivo el IRC? 📡 Clásicos como Libera.Chat o EFnet siguen en pie, pero su ecosistema ha cambiado:

🐧 El búnker FOSS: Es el cuartel general para desarrolladores de Linux y Open Source.

🤖 Guerra IA: Las redes están regulando fuertemente el uso de bots con LLMs en los canales.

🛠️ IRCv3: El protocolo se moderniza con WebSockets e hilos de conversación.

Menos salas para ligar, más código puro. 💻✨

Now accepting ideas for how the hells to get #thelounge irc... Client? Bouncer? W/e set up. I tried the plain docker container, but SSL wasn't set up. Saw a docker compose that routed everything through tor natively and used let's encrypt to certify, but I have been entirely fucking unable to get that to work, so I'm back to square one.

@RTP I LOVE #hexchat. It was my goto #IRC client for years. The maintainer abandoned it in Feb of 2024. See - https://hexchat.github.io/news/2.16.2.html

I jumped to #TheLounge because it behaves well on mobile and desktop and maintains connection when I'm not actually using it because I selfhost it 24x7.

@RTP Don't use #HexChat #XChat or #BitchX. They haven't been developed in years, possibly decades. They are prone to application and security issues. I'm not saying don't use #IRC. Just don't use those clients. Since I #selfhost , I use #TheLounge for my #IRCClient.

@serge @michelamarie For #IRC clients, I use #Halloy <https://halloy.chat/> and #TheLounge <https://thelounge.chat/>.
Halloy

Just hopped back on #IRC and have #TheLounge running on my server. Not too bad all things considered.
