I used to stay in contact with a group of friends who now exclusively communicate via slack, until slack eliminated the IRC gateway. Now I've lost contact with that group, it's quite irritating.
Do any of the solutions mentioned here work well on low-bandwidth connections? I'm limited to 128kbps, and slack via web is absolutely unusable.
Open to self-hosted bouncer/proxy solutions, but not interested in involving a third party.
- loeg 8y agoI don't know how much bandwidth wee-slack uses. You could run weechat+wee-slack in screen or tmux on a server; the ssh or mosh session to that server would be very low bandwidth.
- floatingatoll 8y agoIf you have little bandwidth and lots of time (self-hosted anything implies “yes”!) then you could easily check out a copy of SlackKit and write yourself a tiny API client, or checkout any SlackKit-using app that has a sufficiently acceptable feature set. There are lots (see other comments in this post) and there was an ncurses one a while back too, so options abound. SlackKit would no doubt benefit from your time and attention to it as well!
