PSA to y'all #IRC users: the latest release of #Halloy supports more #IRCv3 specs! Including `typing` (now on @liberachat too), and `+draft/react` & `draft/multiline` on servers that support (ergo.chat) them!

It's been very pleasant to use Halloy for IRC, so many nice quality-of-life features 🫶

Что с людьми делает интерес и ностальгия...

Раз уж боты в телеграм пишут теперь неохотно, решил подумать куда отправить Alert. И вспомился старый добрый IRC, но щупаем v3. Из плюшек:
- умеет в мультидевайс (несколько устройств - одна учётка в чате)
- умеет в историю
- умеет в безусловную SASL аутентификацию (под вашим аккаунтом нельзя зайти без пароля)
- не умеет видео, голосовухи и т.п. ересь.

Очнулся, когда уже написал бота для grafana. 😂 А мог бы просто вечером отдохнуть...

@peritia I highly recommend the Ergo #IRC server. It fully supports #IRCv3, does not require a bouncer, and is very easy to set up and run.

Weechat and Konversation are excellent clients. I have also heard great things about Halloy. I suggest using a client with good support for IRCv3, so that you can take advantage of all the modern features available.

I'm looking for Irssi users who want to test drive a script which adds IRCv3 typing notifications support.

Has anyone out there managed to get mobile app push notifications working with Ergo IRCd and the Goguma client? I'm finding the operational documentation to be pretty thin (which, to be fair, is in line with a feature still marked as being experimental).

#ergo #ircv3

@peritia If you need to run your own server, #Ergo is an excellent #ircv3 implementation. It is easy to install and administer, it supports advanced features, and it also supports SASL authentication.

Whichever server you run, I highly recommend managing security carefully.

What's a good IRC client for Android? I swear, I used to use a good one back in the day but am not finding it. #irc #ircv3 #chat #android

This actually looks somewhat intriguing.

I wish I had resources/time to dedicate to this, but at least I can follow along.
