I have a bunch of Linux VPS servers and run Irssi on one of them. Combined with the GNU Screen program you can access this permanently connected IRC session from wherever you are. All you need is an SSH client, such as Putty, to connect to it.
- wladimir 16y agoI used to do that too. But now I use Quassel IRC, IMO it's pretty cool because it consists of two parts: - a daemon process that does the actual connection to the IRC servers. You can run this on a VPS server. - a GUI client that you can run from everywhere. It connects to the daemon and gets your chat history for every channel. Disconnecting the client doesn't disconnect you from IRC. Just like with the ssh/screen solution, you can use the same IRC connection from your desktop, laptop, work, home, etc. You never need to reconnect and you can browse what was said while you were away. The big difference is that you have a (QT based) GUI instead of a console-based client. If you have a lot of channels and servers open, this is especially useful :)
