#bitchx — Public Fediverse posts

The BitchX is Back!

No, not the Elton John song from the seventies - The #IRC client (considered the most popular before #Irssi and #weechat) back in the late 90's on #DALnet and into the 2000's.

But there's a twist, this is an entirely revamped beast, kinda like finding an old Model A Ford that's so rusted out even the axles are seized up and the doors are paper thin with shattered windows, and plenty of bullet holes in the body...

... and then restoring it back to factory showroom floor condition. Except for the engine - a rusted hunk of metal that was replaced with a brand new Chevy 454 Big Block V8; something really contemporary that you might not expect. I'll leave you to discover what that is by visiting the link where the maintainer explains everything :)

And remember, you too can once again be Too Lame to run BitchX!

@RTP Don't use #HexChat #XChat or #BitchX. They haven't been developed in years, possibly decades. They are prone to application and security issues. I'm not saying don't use #IRC. Just don't use those clients. Since I #selfhost , I use #TheLounge for my #IRCClient.

Getting On Anonymous IRC Chat With I2P+ And Hexchat

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is oldskool, simple way to chat using clients such as #BitchX, or Hexchat / XChat

I registered #righttoprivacy channel On I2P Postman IRC Server for this video (everyone welcome to join / chat 😎)

@4xsample @GelatDeTramussos Jo primer vaig descobrir #BitchX … Però vaig voler començar a fer-li scripting i #BitchX era més complicat per aquests temes i llavors vaig descobrir #Irssi

Yes, let's hope!

I started using it instead of #BitchX back in the day because I wanted a GUI based #IRC client sometimes. Back then it was X-Chat, or maybe #XChat, I believe.

I still like #Irssi which is what eventually took over the cli, but nowadays really love #WeChat. In fact, over the years I've tried a lot of #GUI based IRC clients, on #Linux and #Windows, and recall one that was very beautiful, but bloaty, and always, always, ended up going back to #HexChat :)

The way he retired himself though, I think it just may encourage a spark of developers forking and continuing its saga.

screen was for a long time my favorite command-line program - before smartphones were really a thing, used putty at work to ssh to my home machine and could switch between mutt, lynx and most importantly BitchX.

@erikaheidi: All of them. 😎 More or less at least:

* I preferred #picocom over #minicom. And for quite a while I only use GNU #Screen for all my #serial connection needs. 😎

* I preferred #ircII over #bitchX. Later switched to #irssi.

* I used the #pon and #poff scripts instead of #pppd directly. Also used #wvdial occasionally

* I used #licq as #ICQ client.

And from those programs which I used in production, I'd say that either #xf86conf or icq is the one I haven't used for the longest time.
