I dusted off my #irc nickname last night, and I think I should get back into it. I'm going to try getting on IRC more often, there's something fun about it.

My channel is irc.libera.chat#nantucketebooks.

I'll be on tonight from 7 PM to 8 PM Mountain Time.

matrix is neat yeah but it seems like it's pretty costly to host it.

y'know what's great about IRC? no server-side logs. you either log on the client-side or you run a middle-man to log just the stuff you care about. the server is unburdened.

y'know why I'm not using IRC right now? client support. Are there any cross-platform IRC clients that support, like, image embeds or something similar? I just want text chat with the occasional sticker, I don't mind if stickers are just hotlinked images from my website or whatever.

Die Menschen absichtlich aus den Augen und aus dem Sinn zu verbannen, ist keine nachhaltige Lösung für die Migrationsherausforderungen in Europa.”
