today i will switch to weechat for all my chatting needs
10:49:43
selwyn
in large part so that i can use lichat natively
10:49:56
selwyn
any recommendations for clients on windows/linux? i like a graphical client
10:50:03
shinmera
weelichat has a bunch of problems still, as you might have gathered from the discussions here.
10:50:44
shinmera
uuuh, weechat itself is cli-only. it has a bridge with which you can then use a graphical client like glowing bear.
10:50:49
shinmera
I use weechat through tmux.
10:51:03
shinmera
and sometimes I use the android client on the go
10:51:43
shinmera
my weechat instance runs on one of my servers
10:51:58
shinmera
so I don't have connection issues and such
10:52:32
shinmera
SAL9000 is the local weechat expert though :)
10:58:12
selwyn
plan is to have weechat running on my server and tunnel in with one of the clients
10:58:21
selwyn
'lith' seems like the best option for windows
10:59:07
shinmera
If you don't hate browser clients, glowing bear is the best I've seen
11:00:20
shinmera
on windows I still use tmux, just through a mingw64 terminal/ssh.
11:00:37
shinmera
or, actually, with the ssh extension enabled you can use the basic powershell, too.
11:04:53
selwyn
yeah i don't prefer browser clients
11:08:21

selwyn: I'm running weechat on my NAS in tmux, ssh'ing in from Windows via MSYS2 (aka the "modern" MinGW)

glowing-bear works but it's not as good as native weechat imo

sal9000: yeah am doing similar. except i prefer putty for windows sshing
12:43:25
sellers
great all the logs are here
12:43:38
Colleen
last time I tried putty, it couldn't deal with a lot of the control sequences

e.g. mouse mode, 256 colors

i am already connected as 'selwyn' through the irc bridge i didn't want a name clash to mess things up
12:44:34
shinmera
Register your account on https://auth.tymoon.eu/register
12:44:49
shinmera
Amazed you haven't yet, actually
12:45:18
shinmera
esp. since multiple connections is one of the best things about this
12:50:52
selwyn
so i can connect under the irc bridge at the same time?
12:51:40
shinmera
though because IRC is dumb you will not be getting messages on your IRC connection that you wrote from another connection.
13:07:52
selwyn
i'm having trouble setting up autojoining
13:09:56
selwyn
well, doesn't matter that much for now
13:21:40
selwyn
none of the windows clients look that nice tbh
13:26:26
shinmera
selwyn: autojoin list is separated by double spaces
13:26:33
shinmera
if that's the issue you were facing.
13:27:07
shinmera
then you might be hitting a bug.
13:27:44
shinmera
If only someone had time to fix this client's bugs........................................
13:28:00
shinmera
(not talking about anyone in particular)
13:29:19
selwyn
i have decided that if i manage to leave university before i die, it would be nice to do some coding again
13:33:51
selwyn
will glowing bear let me see the reactions and emotes?
13:34:22
shinmera
it will do images though.
13:39:01
selwyn
and now a windows client is set up
13:40:46
selwyn
weird that a desktop client works but glowing bear doesn't
13:45:33
shinmera
ech, this laptop is only three years old but I'm already thinking of replacing it
13:45:38
shinmera
I hate how short the lifespan of these things is
13:46:05
shinmera
hm, actually, three years can't be right. maybe four.

my university assigned macbook pro broke inside 3 1/2 years
