Doug G Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 13 hours ago, szabesz said: It is at least possible to use the forum to learn from others, but not practical and rather hard to do it on IRC. Forum content is searchable and somewhat organized, while IRC is not. The latter is good for what you normally use it for. Forum is a usable replacement for in-depth docs and/or books. I think this is what he meant. If so, I agree szabesz, yep that's what I meant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neildaemond Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I'm glad this channel is still up. I've recently joined on IRC and am keen to chat with anyone else in the PW community who would like to hang out there as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Yep, IRC is still alive ? For a few months I have been testing this next generation bouncer: https://github.com/kiwiirc/kiwibnc It is starting to reach beta quality. The web client that comes with it (optionally) is very modern. Other modern setups that give you message history: https://github.com/Nordaaker/convos/ https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neildaemond Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I use the terminal client weechat. After finding a nice little site https://tilde.club , use their ssh login and have weechat open with a screen all the time. I've just connected weechat-android to it which is a nice irc client for the mobile which ssh relays into the originally running weechat client. However, it only keeps history while logged on.. and what that tilde.club server restarts, I have to reconnect ? . I'm looking for a way to keep history during those restarts.

neildaemond Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Some unusual stuff happening on Freenode since the change in ownership (https://lwn.net/Articles/857252/). I got banned from freenode as a spammer just because I mentioned the word 'libera' in a room. Libera (https://libera.chat/) seems to be the place where the Freenode staff channels are are moving to & I've opened up a channel there.

netcarver Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Maybe matrix would be a better choice these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Someone from our community already set up a Discord server for ProcessWire. https://discord.gg/fREpGjMc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can join the channel via #processwire:libera.chat Btw. I posted another IRC news summary: https://www.ilmarilauhakangas.fi/irc_technology_news_from_the_first_half_of_2021/ Remember that Discord free offering is subsidised by venture capital money and that comes with strings attached and is finite.

netcarver Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 Yeah, I tend to keep away from Discord - much prefer matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
