Day 3

Well firstly, I messed up some of the tags for Day 2...
my-place.social/display/e59937…
One slightly annoying thing that I forgot on my journey, usb... I could not plug in the phone into the car... it insisted on using some non existing network and would disconnect my network connections.

Anyway, Day 3 though... The only thing of note is, I ran into some issue with #peanutbutter ... I don't know exactly what happened... but I had to do a hard reset due to peanutbutter working but not taking inputs. For all the months I've used peanutbutter.. this is a first. I'm chaulking it up to a random fluke.

Speaking on battery... I'm spoiled. As a #pinephone refugee, I was used to paying extra attention to battery usage. Which is why I've always really dug #tui software (it has zero about how neat I find them as well /s). So, as I turned off suspend for my journey, I plumb ass forgor to turn it back on today... and ish was actually fine... like I used only like 50% of the battery with zero suspending. I didn't do a lot but my activities today:

GPS to a place around the corner
Spend most of the day chatting on #weechat #gomuks and mms/sms. I kept tabs on my M$ apps for work via web apps as well as made a few replies. That said, I missed zero calls (fuck scammers and promote #scambaiting ), I had zero sms or mms get stuck in the modem. We'll see how tomorrow goes with suspend on.

#irc

I grew up when IRC was the main protocol to use for chatting about computer stuff in real-time. That was back on #freenode, when lilo used to run things (may he RIP).

Heck, when I worked at a previous company, we had an internal IRC server which we used to communicate internally with one-another.

So you end up understanding the "rules" -- especially around things like using pastebins, as well as knowing what can/cannot be shared easily.

That was ~20 years ago though.

Although IRC is still being used, even for some high-profile projects, I see more people join, and pasting in code snippets, treating them as markkdown code-blocks.

This, of course, won't wash with proper IRC clients such as #weechat -- which I've been a user of since forever.

Am I just getting old, or are people not aware of how to use IRC. I'm sure the young whipersnaper types will likely be ignorant, in which case if that's all it is... meh!

But it never used to be like this... 🙂

I've been a long time user of #weechat (@weechat), a piece of #OSS that I love so it's high time I finally give flashcode some love here: https://github.com/sponsors/flashcode?sp=whaley

anyone have a favorite #irc client that allows for a remote connection with a gui?

i've used #weechat and #quassel a lot in the past. the former is easier than the latter (plus i don't really like #qt much).

i almost considered something like glowing bear but i'd prefer a gtk or other type client instead of a browser. bonus for an #android client.

I have no idea how I managed to break it like this, but this explains a lot of the problems I had...

I am interested if anyone has (or is working on) a plugin for #bitlbee or #weechat for Bluesky (like the bitlbee plugin for Mastodon). While I'm aware you can use RSS feeds for individual users, I'm wanting a home timeline feed, preferably with ability to reply, but read-only is okay.

@pitermach @erion I mainly use #weechat as an accessible client for #irc and I also use, throught it, #bitlbee to access other protocols.

What's the state of #matrix, #xmpp and #IRC as far as #screenReader -accessible clients are concerned? Desktop (Windows, Mac) and mobile (iOS, Android).

Hoping for some input, please feel free to boost. As far as I know:

Matrix does not have a lightweight, fully accessible client for desktop, but one could be modified, such as #gomuks. On mobile, Element has scrolling issues, which is unacceptable for large rooms.

XMPP has accessible desktop clients (I used to run #Adium on the Mac), also #WeeChat. No idea about mobile.

IRC is perhaps the one which everything supports on desktop, from #MirandaIM through Weechat to the old Freedom Chat, which I could probably rewrite if I had to. Also not sure about mobile, but it would definitely need push notifications, because we can't expect people to stay constantly online on the go. #a11y #accessibility

@flashcode I wanted to thank you a lot for #Weechat !

I've been using ircII since around 1995 and then irssi and only "recently" (few years) switched to irssi for its plugin architecture ( need for #Matrix became mandatory )

Honestly I'm still struggling with proper #Matrix support in #Weechat but having the possibility to write plugins in multiple languages is surely a very useful thing !

WeeChat 4.5.2 released: bug fix and maintenance release: https://weechat.org/download/weechat/4.5.2/

#weechat #release

I was in in the middle of running this month’s mentor meeting in Drupal Slack, which I usually need to run from the web interface when all of the messages in the channel vanished. This persisted after refreshing the page.

Notifications still popped up fine.

Luckily I was able to finish pasting in the meeting agenda using Weechat in the terminal thanks to the wee-slack plugin.

I’ve never had that happen. I assume it’s a memory issue, which is why I started using Weechat in the first place.

Weechat - Android #relay client.
This application is not a standalone an IRC client. It connects to #WeeChat that has to be running on a remote machine. If you are looking for a standalone #IRC client for #Android, you will need to look elsewhere.

@eddyizm@fosstodon.org #WeeChat can't be beat

@kern #weechat (#irc #cli client) has a relay plugin¹, providing different protocols to support "remote interfaces"² (mobile apps amongst them). These remote clients connect directly to weechat, so there's no need to use #ssh (but protocol-level #tls #encryption is supported). It works pretty well, for me at least.

@amj
Super cool!
On peut raisonnablement s'en servir comme source pour la page #Weechat sur #Wikipedia, n'est ce pas?
