Es ist wieder Zeit für eine Umfrage! Dieses Mal möchten wir von euch wissen: Welche Plattform nutzt ihr für Gruppenchats?
Falls ihr mehrere Plattformen nutzt, stimmt bitte für die ab, die ihr im Alltag am häufigsten verwendet. Sollte eure liebste Plattform nicht zur Wahl stehen, freuen wir uns über eure Kommentare.
Sobald die Ergebnisse feststehen, werden wir diese in einem Artikel auf GNU/Linux.ch auswerten.
En mode recherche pour mon bouquin... Allo, les geeks, quel est pour vous le meilleur client IRC sur OSX ? Et quel est le réseau IRC que vous consultez le plus, notamment pour le libre ? Libera ? Est-ce que vous vous en servez encore beaucoup ?
What do people get out of using #SMS#Slack or #Discord that @matrix (and apps that interface with it) doesn't provide? The decentralized web should be able to win this fight.
Also, I wonder how many people are happy with #IRC and maybe then aren't interested in (or even aware of) what's now possible. I love using #matrix for calls on my show.
#IRC has come so far since I touched server administration last. You can now log in with an SSL cert. Multiple clients can connect to one account and the messages all get synchronized. You can choose to stay online even when all your clients are disconnected, and the server will just deliver all your messages next time you connect, without requiring znc or other third party software. ChanServ and NickServ are now built-in to the server, rather than being another software package that needs running and configuring. Reactions, replies, in-line images, presence detection, emoticons, roles, and so-on are all here. The only real issue these days is you still have to know your usermodes and chanmodes and servermodes and they're all single letter case-sensitive flags because reasons. But that's entirely the clients fault. These should be checkboxes, not just an edit box for typing letters into. For that matter, clients need to get better at detecting what login types the server offers, and not requiring you to pick one of 11 different available options. We really don't need xmpp and matrix and the dozens of open source federated discord replacements. We just need a good IRC client that's easy to use and fully supports IRCV3.
Has anyone successfully set up an #IRC bridge with your own #Matrix home server? I’ve been trying to set up https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc, and it’s connecting to IRC, but I can’t get messages to pass across the bridge, nor do Matrix users show up on the IRC side.
Holy banana bread. Just used #discord on mobile after months of not using it, and I’m just consistently amazed at how sluggish a chat app is. It’s even so sluggish that it slows down my actual iPhone and screen reader. How does a chat room application get to be so Bloated that it feels like there’s malware on my phone until I force quit the application. The website is just marginally better. Can we go back to #IRC or forums again please?
I think at this point it's worth thinking about why we need text chats and voice/video calls integrated with each other like what #XMPP (try to), #Matrix, and #Discord do
Why not just go back to #IRC or something like #AIM for text, and something like #Skype for calls like the old days :sagume_think:
I wonder if someone ever analyzed the "mobile cost" (bandwidth, battery usage, ...) of messengers like #WhatsApp/ #Signal/ #Telegram, chat systems like #IRC, and maybe even more "exotic" chat systems like #mail, @delta -chat, #fedi?
Oi oi, bet there must be some IRC peeps here. Y'all got any recommendations on networks to start out on and any pitfalls I should be aware of as a new user? Mostly looking for a friendly enough general chat. #Fosstodon#IRC#AskFedi
I’m curious how many #OpenSource communities have had their communication bifurcated because the Libera.Chat #IRC bridge was shut down “temporarily” (seems indefinitely) on #Matrix?
#linux people: what are your favorite #tui apps? I use #ranger all the time, I prefer #weechat for #irc, #emacs for rss reading, #tig to quickly look at a #git repo. #htop for system monitoring. That kind of thing. Any other great #tui apps out there I should be using?
As people are asking, here's the drill I went through to configure my Mac to allow my Apple IIe (and other vintage systems around the room) to "dial in" to it via WiFi232 or other WiFi modem devices.
finally have my #irc server running about the way I want. next thing will be linking it up to another server to create a tiny little irc network.
it really isn't hard to set up either this ircd (ngircd) or one of the alternatives in debian, the only thing I have issues with is how it interacts with #systemd when you try to restart it. but that's a systemd thing. and maybe I'm just bad at that.
otherwise you can just install the package and have a working irc server just like that.
