Overall though I’m liking #Lua so far as an embedded scripting choice. Haven’t really played with the language since messing with Civilization V mods nearly a decade ago.

For now I’m just rewriting my favorite #WeeChat scripts (e.g. autosort, colorize_nicks, rslap) in Lua for fun. Then I can disable the Python/Perl/Ruby/etc. plugins at compile time (though WeeChat compilation is fast to begin with).

Writing a #WeeChat script in #Lua and once again got bit by locales. Weechat’s Lua runtime sets LC_COLLATE to UTF-8 (which is sensible), while the /usr/bin/lua REPL defaults to the C locale.

Very confused at first when the former said `"#foo" < "bar"` is false and the latter said it’s true!

Abandoning weechat-matrix for now... In general, I liked the chatting experience, however:

1. weechat-matrix will re-join channels I close, which is annoying

2. I cannot avoid empty channels corresponding to #matrix spaces

3. Reloading the plugin or just exiting #weechat will cause the program to hang

Moreover, the few communities I was in were relatively inactive throughout the week... so I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. I can just check via #Element every once in a while.

Il problema di #Matrix è che al momento usarlo da #WeeChat non è esattamente painless

@bkardell #weechat is kinda that (using plugins), TUI only though unless you enable the relay feature.

Turns out #WSL works really smoothly for command-line apps on windows. I used to use #Weechat for #IRC through cygwin, and while it worked it had a lot of issues through cygwin. I set it up yesterday through WSL and it's fantastic, actually.

Configure #Irssi to look like #WeeChat or #XChat or #HexChat #GUI design: #IRC

I really hate the #Mastodon #search function not because it's restricted in what is searchable and what isn't, but because of how impractical it is within those restrictions.

To wit, if I want to find a post of mine containing a specific word or set of words, I'm better off using #grep on my #WeeChat logs than using the search function!

(Why WeeChat logs? Because I have a #Bitlbee bridge set up. I don't actually use it much, but it does come in handy in these circumstances.)

@ndz @vwbusguy #irssi and #weechat are both excellent 👌🏻

After not touching #weechat for years I decided to check it out and it's totally legit. Kind of feel like I have been wasting my time with irssi. In all fairness it can easily replace a ui based irc client (and others I guess) given that #mosh and #tmux have mouse support.

Oops, I got my #weechat up and running again. Nowhere near what I used to have, but it's weird how much I missed IRC.

Getting chanmon.pl up and running was a weird nerd rusty feeling, but hey, it's working!

Now I need to figure out how to run the server side, then the web frontend, then I can access my one instance from anywhere.

I'll be looking at you #openstack channels again soon...

#Weechat and #IRC are fun.

I am loving #weechat now. Termius and weechat is an excellent combination. #IRC
