IRC comeback when

Show threadtiddy roosevelt
I do still use IRC everyday so I know it hasn't actually gone anywhere, but it'd be nice to see some of the old servers pick back up tbh

@babe I do too ... but bridged into my Matrix server. That's where I see all new rooms being created that would previously have been on IRC.

My kids belong to the Discord-generation and they absolutely require voice chat so that they can scream obscenities and gen alpha brain rot stuff as well :/

@babe IRC will never die. xkcd://1782 proves it.

@babe I’ve been running my own server since 1995. There’s literally only four of us left on my server and my old Undernet buddies have all moved on to Discord, etc. I’ve been trying to get more people into using it, but even with me providing a ready to use web-based BNC client, it’s a heavy lift.

@babe If I ever don't have to leave the client running 24/7 to avoid missing a message, I'll consider it.

@babe @disorderlyf consider setting up a bouncer server
Show threaddisorderlyfFeb 9
@vv @babe Would I be able to hook up all the channels I typically follow to that bounce server or would it be one channel per bounce server?
Show threadtiddy rooseveltFeb 9

@disorderlyf @vv I have a ZNC that runs across 3 servers, with it sitting in all the channels I use.

What your options are depend on whether you're running it or getting managed hosting with limited connections. Some allow multi-server use, some give root access, some charge per server connection.

@babe @vv Well, shit. I might just spool up the Raspberry Pi sitting in my closet for that then.
