Time Nick Message 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 TenPlus1: Yeah, I know HawkEye, do you need to get in touch with em? 15:01 MTDiscord erm, wait they left, how do I leave a message for em xD 15:11 MTDiscord You don't, at least, I don't think you do from the Discord side. 15:13 MTDiscord 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 well darn lol 18:47 MTDiscord 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 22:41 MTDiscord Ircnow offers a bouncer service 22:41 MTDiscord ircnow.org
