Hi /g/!

What's the best IRC client for

> gnu/linux
> windows
> os x
> android
> iphone

bonus points if foss
>>
hexchat
>>
weechat goes in all fields
>>
>>53376841
Why not just XChat?
>>
>>53376852
xchat does not work on windows
>>
>>53376841
>>53376843
do these run on ios / android as well?
>>
>>53376866
No. For android I recommend Atomic, which is also FOSS
>>
>>53376843
this
>>
irssi is pretty nice
also konversation
>>
>>53376833
Windows: mIRC
Linux: IRSSI
XChat is also an acceptable choice.
>>
>>53376859
There's a free build for Windows called Xchat 2. Or use the vastly superior Hexchat
>>
>>53376833
Looks like you've got irssi there. You already picked the best.
>>
I like irssi and weechat + tmux running on a remote server. I can ssh to the server from my laptop or phone and continue from the same session
>>
>>53377267
I can't find it, maybe it's not available in my country. I use androirc.
>>
quassel
>>
>>53376833
irssi
>>
>>53376866
YOu can SSH into your server and run weechat or irssi
>>
irssi
>>
Textual for OS X is FOSS, but a precompiled version costs 5 bucks. Hexchat is a shitpile on Mac.
>>
>>53378392
would it be worth taking time out my day to build textual? for os x I use colloquy; would it be worth switching?
>>
>>53378461
I much prefer textual
>>
>>53376833
>Linux
XChat

HexChat
>OS X
Lingo

No idea

No idea
>>
>>53376833

irssi

irssi running cygwin

irssi

irssi
>> iphone
irssi
>>
>>53378461
I wrote a script to do that automatically for me, it's for the rc shell but if you know a bit of bash you should be able to port it.
#!/usr/bin/env rc
dir=$home/Desktop

cd /tmp
printf 'Cloning Textual... '
git clone -q 'https://github.com/Codeux-Software/Textual.git'
echo Done!

printf 'Cloning submodules... '
cd Textual
git submodule -q update --init --recursive
echo Done!

printf 'Patching... '
@ { cd 'Resources/Build Configurations'
echo 'CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY =' >'Code Signing Identity.xcconfig'
sed -i '' 's/MANAGER=1/MANAGER=0/' 'Shared Standard Release Configuration.xcconfig'
sed -i '' 's/SPARKLE_ENABLED=1/SPARKLE_ENABLED=0/' 'Shared Standard Release Configuration.xcconfig'
}
echo Done!

printf 'Building Textual... '
if (xcodebuild -target 'Textual (Standard Release)' -configuration 'Release'>log) {
echo Done!
osascript -e 'display notification "Build succeeded" with title "update_textual.rc" sound name "Glass"'
if (mv 'Build Results/Release/Textual.app' $dir) {
cd
rm -rf /tmp/Textual
echo Enjoy your free copy of Textual, you poor bastard!
}
} else {
echo Fuck!
cat log
osascript -e 'display notification "Something went wrong" with title "update_texual.rc" sound name "Sosumi"'
}
>>
>>53379549
Huh, 4chan added a newline where it says SPARK_ENABLED. Just remove that.
>>
>>53376833
GUI time

>Windows
HexChat
>OS X
Textual
>iOS
Palaver
>>
>>53376852
Dead project and not floss
>>
>>53379549
Extremely interesting. Thanks a lot!

>only instance of that identifier in that .m file
am I flat-out retarded? what do
>>
>>53379882
woops, forgot to mention this is in TVCServerListYosemiteDarkUserInterface.m
>>
How the fuck can I make weechat auto connect to a channel on startup?
>>
People still use IRC in a year where teamspeak and reddit exist? ayy l33t haxor tho
lmao
>>
>>53379954
/set irc.server.<server>.autojoin #channel,#channel2
>>
irssi doesnt support self messages so it sucks for replay buffers behind znc.
>>
>>53380027
If I wanted to connect to freenode, where <server> is, do I put irc.freenode.net?
>>
>>53380207
Just replace <server> with freenode:
/set irc.server.freenode.autojoin #channel

You might also want to set autoconnect for freenode, if you haven't already:
/set irc.server.freenode.autoconnect on
>>
>>53380264
Ill give it shot, thanks man.
