Do you guys have a favorite IRC client for Windows?

I would certainly recommend organizing in IRC, but for more interaction, Jitsi is worth a shot. Zoom does work very well on Gnu/Linux, but yes - proprietary, so, personally not interested in using them more than I already am coerced to :P Jitsi usually handles rooms with up to about a dozen people pretty well, but often struggles beyond that. Most issues are resolved with a simple reload of the page. Try it out @ either of these instances, no registration require: https://meet.jit.si/ (typically pretty bleeding-edge, so sometimes less stable) or: https://meet.mayfirst.org/ (pretty up to date, but generally more stable of late) Tim, you may be able to recover your ident info with the following, once you've connected with #Freenode. If the name is registered with NickServ, it'll email you at the registered address: /msg NickServ SENDPASS turbox --Chris IRC: wolcen On 3/18/20 11:28 AM, Keith Wright via WLUG wrote: >> Subject: [WLUG] Re: Physical WLUG Meeting is cancelled tomorrow... >> From: madserge--- via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> >> >> Never used IRC before but I do have an app on Manjaro called >> Konversation that I think is a IRC client, would like to join if anyone >> can tell me any info about the chat room that would be great! > How did this work? > > I used IRC once before.

How did this work? I used IRC once before. A friend said "let's try this", and told me what program to run and how to start. The conversation went something like: Hi, are you there? Yes. It works! Yes. Well goodbye. That was many years ago, and I have forgotten the name of the program. Then I got busy and forgot the WLUG meeting entirely. Diane has been using something called Zoom on Windows. Google turns up some hints that Zoom can work on Linux, but it seems to be a binary mystery code that connects to the mother ship and does secret stuff...anybody know? -- Keith

I've hoped on just to see that our channel still exists... and it does. I'm "turbofx_" I think I registered the "turbox" username eons ago and long ago forgot what ever password/token I needed.

I'm try to join in also on the IRC around 7pm. ________________________________ From: Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2020 4:19 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Cc: Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> Subject: [WLUG] Physical WLUG Meeting is cancelled tomorrow... I'm cancelling the physical WLUG meeting for March. WPI just put out a notice that they're closed for all events/meetings and I've been contacted by several members that they're going to be staying home out of an abundance of caution or they're under the weather... I'll be in our IRC channel tomorrow night and we can continue the fun online! Hopefully things will calm down for April. Stay safe.

Never used IRC before but I do have an app on Manjaro called Konversation that I think is a IRC client, would like to join if anyone can tell me any info about the chat room that would be great! -Forrest
