Hey folks.
Anyone interested in switching to some more modern channels of
communication?
I'm tired of keeping VPS just to have IRC client and to be honest I
think modern solutions like Telegram are simply easier and much more
practical nowadays.
Both Matrix and XMPP has bridges to IRC and both have built-in
browsers. From philosophical point of view both Matrix and XMPP are
fine (free software on client plus server and federated).
Self hosting Matrix requires much more resources compared to XMPP (more
disk space, processing, memory and constant updating). Matrix
definitely have more appealing clients and XMPP clients still need more
work in this area. As some one who self host both (at
https://poddery.com), I prefer hosting XMPP over Matrix. There are also
bridges between XMPP and Matrix too.
For using the xmpp irc bridge, see https://irc.cheogram.com for the
mapping syntax. For example #debconf%irc.oftc....@irc.cheogram.com will
connect you to #debconf on OFTC IRC.
