What's your favourite IRC client and is your Operating System? not NSA reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- flopgd · 2014-08-17 00:34 i swear (i'm just curious) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- flopgd · 2014-08-17 00:36 i'm not drunk, just tired. So.. what's your favorite IRC client and what Operating System do you use? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ScrewSnow · 2014-08-17 00:42 Textual for Mac OS. Very inexpensive and very feature filled. XChat for any distribution of Linux. mIRC for Windows. However, mIRC and xChat have been put on the back burners for IRCCloud. I don't pay for the $5 and there's only two servers I chat on that need me often enough. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antagon1st · 2014-08-17 01:11 http://www.team-nexgen.org/content/nexgen-acidmax Nexgen Acidmax. KnightFal no longer is associated with the project and has since become defunct, but I've faithfully used that client script for well over 10 years. Edit: Yes, it's base mIRC. I should've paid that bastard Khaled his $20 registration like close to 20 years ago for his shit and still haven't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KevZero · 2014-08-17 01:24 Irssi on linux ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2014-08-17 01:28 FYI, xchat is rather dead, you are better off with HexChat. HexChat is a fork/branch of xchat and is totally free on windows/*nix/OSX, has bug fixes, new features, and its totally free on Windows. HexChat change log, if you are interested, https://hexchat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/changelog.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2014-08-17 01:30 mIRC + Windows. but, I'm having a "mid irc client crisis" and I'm slowly starting to like irssi inside of screen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- omniscientburrito · 2014-08-17 02:47 irssi or weechat. weechat has so many nice scripts you can download very easily from within client and configs look very nice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ScrewSnow · 2014-08-17 02:49 Oh, yep. I'm stuck with my old mentality. I do use HexChat, it's just so similar that I completely forgot that I actually use it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- handl3r · 2014-08-17 03:18 Windows with PuTTY to ssh to a debian VPS with irssi. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RonDiaz · 2014-08-17 04:04 Textual mac AndChat android ---------------------------------------------------------------------- M2Ys4U · 2014-08-17 05:27 Nice try GCHQ. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- t3h2mas · 2014-08-17 05:30 Weechat -- what ever OS I need to use at the time ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wontonspecial · 2014-08-17 06:30 And Android Terminal on the go. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- qadm · 2014-08-17 08:15 irssi in a screen for everyday stuff. I love that client so much. It is one of my all-time favorite pieces of software of all time, and I must have used thousands. Gosh, it is so elegant and well thought out. mIRC when I feel nostalgic. Did you know that Fixedsys is like 30 years old? Colloquy iPhone when I have an IRC emergency. Colloquy for Mac when I want to feel like I'm in an alternate universe where IRC was invented by Sir Clive Sinclair. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cntrl_ · 2014-08-17 10:57 weechat and linux mint ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Karunamon · 2014-08-17 16:22 Hexchat on Windows, in process of setting up a KiwiIRC instance so I don't have to use it anymore. Used to be mIRC, but their SSL integration causes weird breakage and I stopped using it. Textual on Mac irssi on *NIX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wmcscrooge · 2014-08-18 00:47 I would like to add Hexchat for windows and/or kiviirc for the browser for when I don't have access to a linux box. I, however, did come across an application called glowingbear which basically sits in your browser and connects to a weechat instance. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty cool. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- omniscientburrito · 2014-08-18 01:44 glowingbear sounds awesome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wmcscrooge · 2014-08-18 02:07 right? It seems rather complicated when I could just open a kiwiirc instance or irc.lc or hexchat or something, but the fact that it exists is awesome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TingPing · 2014-08-18 12:34 HexChat on OSX, Linux, and Windows, yay cross-platform! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- indrora · 2014-08-18 19:56 I think I've tried every single one for Windows and finally, once again, settled in on HexChat on just about everything. it Just Works(tm). Same with Linux, really. on Android, I dogfood my own IRC client, [Atomic](https://indrora.github.io/Atomic/) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2014-08-18 22:13 VPS running Ubuntu and I use Weechat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- omniscientburrito · 2014-08-18 23:51 hehe yeah since I've always got two monitors to keep a chat window in one and whatever in the other but , pretty freaking cool that it just is there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- henryheikkinen · 2014-08-20 08:28 I run irssi on a remote CentOS server that also hosts my website. I like it because it's easily accessible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ahylianhuman · 2014-08-20 22:59 IRCCloud is awesome. OS X and Android. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- flopgd · 2014-08-20 23:05 i like you :> arch or ubuntu? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KevZero · 2014-08-20 23:24 Lol. Debian on the host I usually irssi from; F19 on my desktop at home. Win7 at work (and withstanding the constant ridicule of my colleagues until they can't run some "enterprise" tool that I can). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rantanplan10 · 2014-08-24 19:34 weechat is better than irssi because : - support both horizontal and vertical split - 6 script languages - Customizable bars - mouse support [you can't do this with irssi](http://pascalpoitras.com/wp- content/uploads/2013/05/2014-03-07-170223_1600x900_scrot.png) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nyuszika7h · 2014-08-24 19:48 It's *OS X*, not *Mac OS*, not even *Mac OS X* (although it **used** to be *Mac OS X*). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ScrewSnow · 2014-08-24 23:54 You still understood what I meant right? Then why does it matter? I can call it OSX, Mac, Mac X, Mac OS, or Mac 10.x and you would still understand it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2014-08-26 15:38 Irssi on Arch Linux has been my fave recently. Just pulled a neat little script off of dotshare.it... having a splendid time with it! https://imgur.com/GrRrtEY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nyuszika7h · 2014-09-02 15:02 With that attitude, you could as well have said something like: > u still understood what i meant right? then y does it matter? Or even worse. I don't capitalize sentences on IRC, but I still have some standards. *Mac OS* is only really used to refer to the classic Mac OS, though apparently, *Mac OS X* is correct (and maybe even preferred?) when referring to multiple versions including ones prior to the name change to *OS X*. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GalliFromHell · 2022-12-04 12:06 >mIRC when I feel nostalgic. Did you know that Fixedsys is like 30 years old? mIRC UI + Fixedsys font === instant nostalgia
