Anyone here still using old school text based IRC clients like BitchX, irssi, etc.? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 11:13 I still prefer BitchX since I started using it in the mid 90s. :/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dropkickninja · 2019-08-06 11:16 Whenever kiwis down I do ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Saber_UK · 2019-08-06 11:32 BitchX is essentially obsolete afaik. WeeChat and Irssi are still maintained though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zerosouls · 2019-08-06 14:27 I still use Irssi from time to time yes. Even using it in a bash shell in windows 10. BitchX? Keep it to yourself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pnutzh4x0r · 2019-08-06 14:38 Probably not considered old school... but I use weechat (which is text based) all the time, including on my phone via weechat-android. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jhoneycutt · 2019-08-06 16:00 You shouldn't use BitchX. It isn't actively developed. It could have exploitable bugs that will never be fixed. Use weechat or irssi if you want a console client. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ncsugold · 2019-08-06 16:24 I like `irssi` because I can run it in a tmux pane; then I can connect / disconnect to the pane on my server and it acts just like a bouncer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DigitalTA · 2019-08-06 17:13 irssi for me since I can run it on a server and have a .beer domain which still occasionally amuses people when I join channels for events and such :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 17:36 Nice domain. What does your address say with it? mmm@beer.? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 17:38 https://sourceforge.net/p/bitchx/git/ci/master/tree/ is still being development but very slow. :( I cannot get into WeeChat and IRSSI. I only use them for public servers. Private servers, I use BitchX. :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 17:39 Don't you get disconnected a lot on your Android phones since it's mobile? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 17:39 Keep it to myself? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 17:40 https://sourceforge.net/p/bitchx/git/ci/master/tree/ still shows some activities. Just slow! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 17:40 Huh? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zerosouls · 2019-08-06 17:40 Yea that was the CTCP version reply from BitchX that you got "Keep it to yourself". Sorry, I kind of had a hunch you would pick up on the obscure reference :P ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dropkickninja · 2019-08-06 17:56 kiwi is the web based client that reddit uses for irc. well. that you can use. i use it for one of my subreddits ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pnutzh4x0r · 2019-08-06 17:57 Nope. weechat-android uses a websocket with SSL to talk to my weechat instance running on a remote machine via weechat's relay system, so I am constantly logged into the IRC server(s). So the relay may disconnect, but I am always present on the IRC networks (and the relay recovers gracefully pretty quickly). I also get notifications and highlights on my phone and it doesn't use very much data (a few megs a week at most). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- milanoscookie · 2019-08-06 18:50 I use irssi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-08-06 19:10 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- snowice0 · 2019-08-06 19:35 ive used irssi for the last 10 years ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 19:56 Interesting. I wonder if iPhone can do it too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-06 19:57 Oh, I don't think I ever saw that before. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ISpewVitriol · 2019-08-07 00:46 I have weechat running in a screen session on my VPS that is an always on client to my ZNC server running on same vps. It works well, I like it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DigitalTA · 2019-08-07 08:30 No the suffix is .beer. domain is in Finnish but freely translated it means about "I wish I had(a)". I think once I add email to it mmm@ will be a thing tho ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-07 08:39 Ah. :) Duff.beer would be nice. ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- crytel · 2019-08-07 19:45 I use Irssi almost daily and have it installed on multiple laptops with multiple OS's. I find it really nice that no matter which OS I'm using the IRC client is the same with the same interface. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dropkickninja · 2019-08-08 03:38 its snoonet. so. guess ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-08-08 04:33 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dropkickninja · 2019-08-08 05:05 wrong ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-08-08 05:09 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dropkickninja · 2019-08-08 14:21 snoonet. idiot. ive been running a channel on it for 8 years ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-08-08 16:45 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dropkickninja · 2019-08-08 19:06 i didnt say it was run by reddit ---------------------------------------------------------------------- the1iplay · 2019-08-10 17:33 I use weechat...I love it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucaszecat · 2019-08-11 02:23 Irssi brother ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nycristofficial · 2019-08-11 05:01 I use BitchX on my iPad ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-12 23:34 Wait, there's a iOS native port of BitchX?!?!? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nycristofficial · 2019-08-12 23:35 With jailbreak and it’s on the iOS terminal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2019-08-12 23:38 Heh. Deleted poster and comments. Hmm! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WorldGenesis · 2019-09-01 02:35 Glowing Bear + Weechat + ZNC + Tmux all the way :P ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kowalczyk_gentoo · 2019-09-27 08:54 ircII or epic4/epic5 here ---------------------------------------------------------------------- YachtRock_SoSmooth · 2019-10-07 09:55 Does Irssi work with Windows? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zhaoneng · 2019-10-10 02:08 I'm using conversation 1. Something on my iMac g3. Runs very very well on 10.2.8
