tinyhippo: loking for some
shwouchk 2017-01-26 22:47:25
looking*
naf 2017-01-26 22:48:45
ugh
naf 2017-01-26 22:48:52
i need a better way to manage my channels
naf 2017-01-26 22:48:55
i have too many of them
naf 2017-01-26 22:49:09
but i actually use all of them
naf 2017-01-26 22:49:30
anybody have advice for better managing channels?
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:50:44
naf: channels you own or channels you are in?
bigpresh 2017-01-26 22:50:50
naf: Managing as in operating/moderating, or as in dealing with the number of channels you're in?
bigpresh 2017-01-26 22:51:01
... yeah, what the small water-dwelling mammal said.
naf 2017-01-26 22:51:17
channels when i am in
naf 2017-01-26 22:51:21
which*
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:51:24
naf: what client are you using?
naf 2017-01-26 22:51:28
i only own two of them
naf 2017-01-26 22:51:29
mIRC
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:51:39
naf: i would start with maybe trying a different client
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:51:46
mIRC isn't the greatest
naf 2017-01-26 22:51:52
what's a better one you would recommend?
evil 2017-01-26 22:51:56
You know noffin, tinyhippo
bigpresh 2017-01-26 22:51:57
I always found XChat/HexChat pretty decent
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:51:59
hexchat is a good alternative
bigpresh 2017-01-26 22:52:08
Particularly if you set it to have the channels in a pane down the left
naf 2017-01-26 22:52:22
alright i will give hexchat a try
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:52:23
but if you want to go more hardcore, then there's irssi and weechat, but they're command-line and might not suit your workflow
naf 2017-01-26 22:52:35
i use irssi on linux
naf 2017-01-26 22:52:38
but i am on windows right now
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:52:55
naf: you could put irssi on a cheap VPS or something, and SSH to it from your Windows machine using PuTTy?
naf 2017-01-26 22:52:57
haven't tried weechat but i've heard good things
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:53:03
weechat is love
naf 2017-01-26 22:53:05
that's an idea
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:53:05
weechat is life
naf 2017-01-26 22:53:07
lol
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:53:15
naf: if you run it in screen, it'll be connected 24/7
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:53:22
as long as freenode doesn't have a whoops moment
MetaNova 2017-01-26 22:53:26
tinyhippo: pssst, znc
naf 2017-01-26 22:53:35
windows system -> putty to server with irssi -> irssi connected to znc -> connected to freenode
naf 2017-01-26 22:53:36
yas
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:53:42
MetaNova: why would I use znc when screen is already installed
naf 2017-01-26 22:53:48
yeah at that rate
naf 2017-01-26 22:54:01
may as well just run irssi on the same machine as znc
naf 2017-01-26 22:54:05
lol
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:54:16
naf: just ditch znc and use run irssi from within screen
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:54:21
or whatever that other thing was
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:54:23
tmux
naf 2017-01-26 22:54:25
the only reason i don't want to do that is because
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:54:25
I dont get on with tmux though
naf 2017-01-26 22:54:35
i still want the option to connect to my znc directly through irc protocol
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:55:13
cool, if thats what you want, go for it!
naf 2017-01-26 22:55:19
alright
naf 2017-01-26 22:55:24
well thanks for the advice all
naf 2017-01-26 22:55:29
going to give hexchat a shot
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:55:39
naf: oh if you end up with weechat, ping me about useful plugins
MetaNova 2017-01-26 22:55:46
tinyhippo: channel detachment/configurable reattachment, client-independent highlight system, central configuration for multiple networks/channel configurations, webadmin portal management, the ability to connect to it from virtually any irc client, not -just- an ssh client
MetaNova 2017-01-26 22:55:49
the list goes on and on
naf 2017-01-26 22:55:57
okay sure thing tinyhippo, may get back to you about that
MetaNova 2017-01-26 22:56:13
not to mention sidestepping the occasional input lag of typing with ssh
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:56:35
MetaNova: I only use one client though
MetaNova 2017-01-26 22:57:04
"oh"
tinyhippo 2017-01-26 22:57:06
and I smoked too much weed when I was younger, so I dont have any ports open more than I need to
naf 2017-01-26 22:57:17
hahahah
naf 2017-01-26 22:57:38
i didn't even understand what you meant by that until the tinfoil hat part
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:00:19
I'm back
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:00:28
That test was easy
igualter 2017-01-26 23:00:54
hey
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:01:03
Now I need to wait 30 mins till I can cycle home
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:01:09
Ugh..schools
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:03:46
What? naf naf
naf 2017-01-26 23:03:46
what was the test?
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:03:49
Why?
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:03:57
Economy
naf 2017-01-26 23:03:57
curiosity
naf 2017-01-26 23:04:05
ah, fun fun..
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:04:13
Lol
naf 2017-01-26 23:04:25
it's 5am here
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:04:43
School is a total waste of time anyway.
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:04:45
Lol
naf 2017-01-26 23:04:59
i would personally disagree, though i used to think the same thing
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:05:25
Okay..explain this to me:
naf 2017-01-26 23:05:58
well, i used to be required to go to school by law, and now i go to school by choice and pay for it
naf 2017-01-26 23:06:06
and i actually enjoy it
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:06:14
Why do we have to study all those BS things while we don't even use 10 % of them later
naf 2017-01-26 23:06:15
because the more i learn from it, the more i'm capable of
naf 2017-01-26 23:06:32
well,
naf 2017-01-26 23:06:44
it's a fair point that many high school classes are beyond pointless
naf 2017-01-26 23:06:56
many but not all
naf 2017-01-26 23:07:10
the high school classes which are representative of college courses or are preparing you for college courses are important
naf 2017-01-26 23:07:20
and you will be happy you payed attention to them if/when you go to university/college
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:07:40
And later..fun..'work'..I will spend 90% of my day working for money
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:07:46
Ugh
naf 2017-01-26 23:07:55
well, don't pick a profession you don't like
naf 2017-01-26 23:08:04
it's not work if it's something you picked specifically
naf 2017-01-26 23:08:16
same for college/university
naf 2017-01-26 23:08:19
pick something you like
naf 2017-01-26 23:08:23
and you will enjoy your courses
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:08:53
Ugh..so because of the economy..I waste 90% of my life on doing things for it
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:08:57
Ugh
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:09:05
I have 1 life
naf 2017-01-26 23:09:07
it's not you doing things for it
naf 2017-01-26 23:09:09
it goes both ways
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:09:17
I will do whatever I want ugh
naf 2017-01-26 23:09:17
you do some things, and it does things back for you
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:09:40
Okay..what does the economy do for me?
naf 2017-01-26 23:09:57
it's your home
naf 2017-01-26 23:10:00
name something you enjoy
naf 2017-01-26 23:10:04
anything
naf 2017-01-26 23:10:14
it is all there thanks to the economy
bigpresh 2017-01-26 23:10:32
Do you go outside your house and walk on a path, or drive on a road, or use any form of transportation?
bigpresh 2017-01-26 23:10:36
Do you drink water?
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:10:43
Spending time on my pc with my online friends
bigpresh 2017-01-26 23:10:43
Do you like electrical devices?
e 2017-01-26 23:10:49
no politics
naf 2017-01-26 23:10:57
ooh he beat you to that one
bigpresh 2017-01-26 23:11:20
This is economics, not politics :) It is, however, a bit off-topic for here, and would be better in a general chat channel
Tims_Techphone 2017-01-26 23:11:54
Thank you.
Jackreaper 2017-01-26 23:12:01
