Is there some big advantage to irssi over WeeChat that I'm

Jesus Christ get a real client already

Better platform support/portability in my experience, irssi is like the vim of IRC clients, you can expect someone to have ported it to your platform already, no matter what it is.

But i have a $1650 potato

Why would you need anything other than ircII + AtlantiS?

>>61400589
I've been using irssi for over 10 years and I can't see myself using anything else. Before then, when I was 14 it was E×çűrșion (a 1337 mIRC client).

I can't find Excursion anywhere anymore.

What a retard

>>61400589
WeeChat is bloated and wastes fat more resources.

FAQ has these 2 points so you know it's shit:
- How can I tweak WeeChat to consume less memory?
- How can I tweak WeeChat to use less CPU?

Big networks: DALnet, rizon, freenode, efnet, irchighway, undernet...

Then you have lainchan, snoonet (reddit), and many others. Every private tracker has its own IRC network. IRC is still useful for controlling botnets, too.

IRC is far from dead. It's the best online form of communication.

>>61401470
Does it have a discord plugin? Weechat does.

>>61401022
Then why the fuck are you using text-based software in the first place?

>>61402279
>implying irc is anything but text either way
lmao

>>61402015

IRC is only for software developers and security professionals. One of the most popular clients has a textbased UI. It's pretty dead despite having many users. All the users are nerds.

>>61402476
Does IRC even have any ecrptyion? Seems like any bloke can just come in and record or even sniff thsoe packets

>>61402476
Sounds amazing.

What are some cool channels to join? I promise I'm not a retarded normie.

>>61402571
#gentoo

>>61402507
you can use it with SSL, yes

>>61402476
What's wrong with nerds?

>>61400589
you might consider weechat bloated. You can configure way too many options and you can write plugins in pretty much every scripting language.
That results in 20mb for a stupid terminal irc client.
irssi is nice and small with a little over 1mb.
Even Hexchat is smaller than weechat and that has a gui.

>he didn't build weechat from source

>>61400603
Any suggestions?

>>61400589
scripts dude
irssi + scripts = > client than weebchat

>>61405107
top kek, weechat has way better scripting support than irssi.

i used irssi for over 5 years, switched to weechat and never looked back. it can do everything irssi does and so much more.

>>61405144
Not him but I beg to differ, having too many scripting languages implemented is not sign of being better at scripting.

>>61402026
it's broken and written in rust

>>61402279
>why are you using text-based software for text-based communication
really makes you think doesn't it

>>61406088
This.

>>61406088
But graphical applications have much more versatile text rendering than terminal shit.

i hate anti depressants sorry

It's socially acceptable to be gay these days, so no one will judge you for using WeeChat.

>>61400639
Do I still have to use a terminal multiplexer to have the userlist next to the chat window?

This thread is for POSIX users only

>>61402507
IRC isn't supposed to be private.

You can use SSL >>61402597 but that doesn't prevent anyone in the same channel not using SSL from leaking everything

>>61411366
You can use +z in order to enforce SSL in a channel.
