Day 3

Well firstly, I messed up some of the tags for Day 2...
my-place.social/display/e59937…
One slightly annoying thing that I forgot on my journey, usb... I could not plug in the phone into the car... it insisted on using some non existing network and would disconnect my network connections.

Anyway, Day 3 though... The only thing of note is, I ran into some issue with #peanutbutter ... I don't know exactly what happened... but I had to do a hard reset due to peanutbutter working but not taking inputs. For all the months I've used peanutbutter.. this is a first. I'm chaulking it up to a random fluke.

Speaking on battery... I'm spoiled. As a #pinephone refugee, I was used to paying extra attention to battery usage. Which is why I've always really dug #tui software (it has zero about how neat I find them as well /s). So, as I turned off suspend for my journey, I plumb ass forgor to turn it back on today... and ish was actually fine... like I used only like 50% of the battery with zero suspending. I didn't do a lot but my activities today:

GPS to a place around the corner
Spend most of the day chatting on #weechat #gomuks and mms/sms. I kept tabs on my M$ apps for work via web apps as well as made a few replies. That said, I missed zero calls (fuck scammers and promote #scambaiting ), I had zero sms or mms get stuck in the modem. We'll see how tomorrow goes with suspend on.

#irc

I grew up when IRC was the main protocol to use for chatting about computer stuff in real-time. That was back on #freenode, when lilo used to run things (may he RIP).

Heck, when I worked at a previous company, we had an internal IRC server which we used to communicate internally with one-another.

So you end up understanding the "rules" -- especially around things like using pastebins, as well as knowing what can/cannot be shared easily.

That was ~20 years ago though.

Although IRC is still being used, even for some high-profile projects, I see more people join, and pasting in code snippets, treating them as markkdown code-blocks.

This, of course, won't wash with proper IRC clients such as #weechat -- which I've been a user of since forever.

Am I just getting old, or are people not aware of how to use IRC. I'm sure the young whipersnaper types will likely be ignorant, in which case if that's all it is... meh!

But it never used to be like this... 🙂

anyone have a favorite #irc client that allows for a remote connection with a gui?

i've used #weechat and #quassel a lot in the past. the former is easier than the latter (plus i don't really like #qt much).

i almost considered something like glowing bear but i'd prefer a gtk or other type client instead of a browser. bonus for an #android client.
