I need some kind of client-dæmon IRC client that I can connect to from clients on various hosts which leaves me logged in via the dæmon, idles if explicitly set or no clients are connected, and shields the chatroom from joi…

Możecie (lub nie) kojarzyć bajzel wokół przejęcia #Freenode. Niemniej, za sprawą otwartości protokołu #IRC, wiele projektów mogło przenieść się na #LiberaChat z ograniczonymi do minimum trudnościami.
Dobra wiado…

The Serial Port’s new video on IRC is good.
I’d been on IRC of some sort, nearly constantly from ~1992 to 2024, and I learned some things from this documentary.
For example, I knew EFNet was Eris-Free net, but I didn’t know that Eris was a rogue server at Berkeley. Makes sense in hindsight. Always thought it was free as in freedom, not free as in exclusive.

imagine using chatgpt for therapy when IRC is right there

@… We are all waiting for you to finish curl so that you can continue with the currency-to-IRC-bot curl was made for.

Sagt mal, benutzt hier noch jemand das gute alte IRC ?
Warum die Frager, nur ist grade ein schnukliger IRC-Client untergekommen ;D
Man früher .. war ich sehr viel in IRC unterwegens und dieses andere Voicedingens lol

Dear #lazyweb,
It turns out I'm one of only a few people who are using the #znc #irc bouncer at work. As a result I'm looking for hosted bouncers. So far I've found

I just noticed that #Thunderbird supports #IRC and #Matrix protocols . When did that happen? I feel like I live under a rock...

Stable and Interpretable Jet Physics with IRC-Safe Equivariant Feature Extraction
Deep learning has achieved remarkable success in jet classification tasks, yet a key challenge remains: understanding what these models learn and how their features relate to known QCD observables. Improving interpretability is essential for building robust and trustworthy machine learning tools in collider physics. To address this challenge, we investigate graph neural networks for quark-gluon discrimination, systematically incorporating physics-motivated inductive biases. In particular, we de…

There are plenty of #HamRadio CW operators who, as a politeness, greet you by name when you have a QSO, even a POTA QSO. But they also see "Michael" and send "Mike" because "Michael" takes a long time to send.
I get it, "Mike" is shorter, but... I just don't go by "Mike"
I do go by "MKJ" — I used that for decades on IRC, and now at work there are so many Mi…

Wondering if the continuous game of Cards against Humanity that has been taking place on @… 's IRC channel for almost 11 years now — and that now represents the only human interaction in the channel at all — will ever end.
Like will the IRC network it's on stop functioning first? Or maybe I will die and the bot cease to run?

You may (or may not) recall the #Freenode takeover mess. However, thanks to #IRC being an open and widely supported protocol, many projects migrated to #LiberaChat with as little disruption as possible.
Good news is, your walled garden is unlikely to suffer the fate of Freenode — because it already is there, from day one. What are you going to do when your project suddenly gets banned and you lose access to everything — including all the data that you shouldn't have kept there in the first place? Of course, come up with some corporate bullshit of "join us on our illustrious journey to the next walled garden, and don't forget to install another 200 MiB privacy nightmare app not to be excluded from our community".
#Discord

Hurhn. #Thunderbird has a built in #IRC, #matrix and #xmpp client. Been using it for years, just noticed that.

What #irc network would be good to start my own channel?
My requirements is: webchat, hidden ip by default, and I guess a good community to join because why add a new irc network to my client without having some other channels to be apart of
also registration services so i can register my channel so not efnet
I was looking at dalnet,rizon,quakenet or geekshead or esper but I don'…

What are people using for IRC clients on iOS these days that I can find on the US App Store?

Detection of the linear SiC$_3$ and SiC$_5$ radicals in IRC\,+10216
We detected the linear $^3Σ^-$ radicals SiC$_3$ and SiC$_5$ toward IRC+10216 using an ultrasensitive line survey gathered with the Yebes 40\,m radio telescope. The derived column densities of $l$-SiC$_3$ and $l$-SiC$_5$ are (3.6$\pm$0.4)$\times$10$^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ and (1.8$\pm$0.2)$\times$10$^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$, respectively. The linear SiC$_3$ radical is $\sim$2 times less abundant that its singlet rhomboidal prolate isomer, for which we provide a new analysis based on recent sensitive observati…

This Fediverse Enhancement Proposal describes a way to attach a chat room to ActivityPub actors and objects.
The chat room itself can be a web page, a XMPP room,
a Matrix room,
an IRC channel, ...
The chat itself does not necessarily publish messages using ActivityPub.

Almost Ricci Solitons on Class $\mathcal A$ Hypersurfaces of Product Spaces
In this paper, we study hypersurfaces in the product spaces $\mathbb{Q}_ε^3 \times \mathbb{R}$ for which the tangential component $T$ of the vector field $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ is a principal direction, where $\mathbb{Q}_ε^3$ denotes the three-dimensional non-flat Riemannian space form with sectional curvature $ε= \pm 1$, and $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ is the unit vector field tangent to the $\mathbb{R}$-factor. We obtain a local classification of hypersurfaces with three distinct …

🤚 Free Saturday
👉 Saturday spent working on Free Software
Highlights from #Gentoo:
• #Gemato is now compatible with #FreePG and mostly compatible with #SequoiaPGP chameleon.
• Prepared patches to support FreePG and SequoiaPGP chameleon as "gpg" symlink providers.
• #FlexiBLAS is now enabled by default on ~arch.
• Finally finished working on #PkgCheck check for missing #PyPI provenance checks.
• gpy-list-pkg-impls now includes "does this package have tests?" state, can optionally include PythonCompatUpdate results from PkgCheck and output mIRC colors. In other words, our IRC bot will now tell us when dependencies let us port new packages to #Python 3.14, and whether these packages have tests.
