“ Bouncers are hard to configure. I felt that we needed an easier one in this world.” - initially i wanted to be a smartass and point out that a psyBNC can easily be installed and configured, only to realise the latest paybnc release appears to be as old as 2005! How time flies! Will give this project a go. Generally speaking I think IRC should be revived as an in-house chat solution for privacy aware teams, and the CTCP protocol extended to allow for web audio and video chat.
- tocirc 6y agoI definitely agree with everything you said! I also wanted to add what’s cool about this is there is literally no configuration required. Try connecting to irc.dns.live SSL 9998 and enter a password in the password field of your client. Whenever you disconnect and reconnect, you will be reconnected to the same session without losing any messages!
- andarleen 6y agoSounds good - that is one missing feature in the standard IRC protocol that prevented me from using it at work: seeing channel and private messages received while offline. will def give this a go! installing and ircd takes a few minutes, and i suppose the same server can host this bouncer. if it goes well i will suggest we use this instead of slack, we are all pretty old school anyway in our team!
