Hexchat + znc setup. How do I make joining both oftc and Libera easier
at the same time?
reddit / irc

My znc setup has Libera as the default server it connects to when
hexchat is launched. I also have oftc included and currently I'm
forced to open a new tab(Ctrl+T), open the network list(Ctrl+S),
connect on the znc connection again which opens like the first time
and then finally I run `/znc jumpnetwork oftc` to switch to oftc on
the 2nd tab. Is it possible to make this easier, something like an
alias command or a hexchat plugin that automates this for people
experienced with irc client scripting

You can setup HexChat to connect to multiple networks when you start
it.

I know it might not be the solution you are looking for, but have a
look at [The Lounge](https://thelounge.chat/). If you're hosting znc
anyway *and* using a GUI client, why not just deploy a software that
does the job of both and handles mutliple networks flawlessly?

You should be able to connect directly to a specified ZNC network by
providing the network name after your username, with a slash.
[This](https://ptpimg.me/d4oagm.png) works for me.
Just check the 'Connect to this network automatically' box, as well.

The lounge is awesome! Used IRCCloud before but then I found the
lounge and it does the same thing for free.

Because people might be averse to running node.js and similar bloat
just to run a fucking IRC session.

do you host on your home pc or what?

There is an add on for home assistant. So buy an raspberry pi and you
are good. I'm running it on hyperv though

meh but then it's my home network that's exposed to irc.

You run it like you would run probably any bouncer, on any kind of
always-on machine. Hardware requirements are pretty low, any low-
powered server/raspi/nas will do

fuck that id get a $5/mo vps to host it the whole point for me is to
not have my home network exposed to irc. there are truly free bouncer
services out there tho.
