14:41 TenPlus1 hi folks
14:41 TenPlus1 does anyone know HawyEye who's currently running the minecity server ???
14:54 TenPlus1 all it quiet in the minetest house, not even a whisper, or even a mouse ;P
14:54 TenPlus1 laters o/
15:01 MTDiscord <Scout> TenPlus1: Yeah, I know HawkEye, do you need to get in touch with em?
15:01 MTDiscord <Scout> erm, wait they left, how do I leave a message for em xD
15:11 MTDiscord <Warr1024> You don't, at least, I don't think you do from the Discord side.
15:13 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Also, wow, yeah, they actually disconnected ... who the heck actually does that?  IRC really only works if you have a bouncer or something, and can stay always connected, otherwise what's the point of even asking questions when you have no way to get the responses?  🙄
18:38 MTDiscord <Scout> well darn lol
18:47 MTDiscord <savilli> Some people use IRC from their mobile phones, where staying online is quite energy consuming
18:49 Warr1024 Doing that directly without a bouncer doesn't sound sane.  I use TheLounge as my client, which also handles the "bouncer" thing for me...
19:19 MTDiscord <savilli> Doesn't it require to be installed on your server?
19:20 Krock @savilli IRC is a godsend for prepaid SIM cards
19:21 Krock chat for an hour, with less than 1 megabyte consumed
19:23 Krock also no: there's plenty of free BNC services out there. problem being that you basically share the account with them
19:27 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I mean, one option would be to have one "low security" account on a cloud bouncer, and then your own "high security" account that you connect directly for.  Your bouncer account could still receive replies on your behalf
19:27 MTDiscord <Warr1024> though you'd have to tell people about that of course, like "let me know, or if I'm not around, tell TenPlus1Plus0, that's my other account"
19:34 ROllerozxa doesn't anyone nerdy enough to use IRC have a spare VPS lying around they can throw ZNC on though 🙃
19:36 MTDiscord <Warr1024> contabo or netcup; a $5/mo VPS should be plenty to run a bouncer and a whole lotta other stuff.
19:38 Krock that's enough for 1000 bouncers
19:38 Krock (and a whole lotta other stuff.)
19:39 MTDiscord <Scout> thats a lot of bouncers :o
19:40 ROllerozxa indeed it's not particularily demanding, it can gladly coexist on a VPS that already hosts a couple websites and a minetest server
19:41 ROllerozxa just be sure to get a VPS provider that allows you to control your rDNS for funny hostname
19:51 MTDiscord <Warr1024> The real reason you might need your own VPS and can't just use a tiny fraction of somebody else's is really just liability: it's hard to find somebody with whom you have enough mutual trust to share a service like that.
