I bit the bullet and set up ZNC for my IRC connections this summer. Even by the standards of open source software, it was a chore, and the web interface is unbelievably clunky. I continued to use irssi in tmux instead. What we learned from

I used to have Disqus on my blog but the overhead wasn't worth it. The vanishingly rare times someone has reached out to me it's been via Twitter.

It's only needed for disambiguation. That said, I wish the page had actually taken the local time into account. As in your case the times on the page are in my current timezone (CEST) so the "Z", "00:00", "+00:
