I use an IRC bouncer to stay logged in to the IRC servers. I connect to the bouncer, which replays anything I missed on the IRC server while I'm not logged in to the bouncer.
- uggedal 16y agoIf you have a shell account or a vps you could just keep running irssi or weechat inside screen or tmux.
- akkartik 16y agoI do this. But I have a really hard time segmenting conversations. So I end up with large logs and no way to read them. I wish there was a way to say, "show me everything from the current conversation alone". Maybe by tracking @replies or something.
- rufugee 16y agoCan you share the name of the bouncer? Sounds like nice functionality...
- moobot 16y agoI personally use ZNC and I love it.
- chanux 16y agoI'm using bip IRC proxy and I have no complaints. (couldn't get secure connection working with freenode the last time I tried it).
- notmyname 16y agoI use znc running on a slice. (http://en.znc.in/wiki/ZNC http://en.znc.in/wiki/ZNC) I've also heard of Bip (http://bip.t1r.net/ http://bip.t1r.net/), but I've never used it.
- slowpoison 16y agoWhat exactly is "running on a slice"?
- wrs 16y agoSlice = virtual server at http://www.slicehost.com/ http://www.slicehost.com/
- notmyname 16y agoexactly what wrs said. I run znc on a small VPS instance that is always running, always up, so I don't have to worry about keeping my connection to an IRC server open. ZNC (the bouncer) keeps me logged in to the IRC server, and I connect to ZNC when I need to be in contact with others.
- programmer7 16y agoThanks I started using ZNC since yesterday. Finding it awesome!
- LeonidasXIV 16y agoI use irssi-proxy, so I can both log in from SSH and write as well as connect via a local IRC client to it.
