#thelounge — Public Fediverse posts

Now accepting ideas for how the hells to get #thelounge irc... Client? Bouncer? W/e set up. I tried the plain docker container, but SSL wasn't set up. Saw a docker compose that routed everything through tor natively and used let's encrypt to certify, but I have been entirely fucking unable to get that to work, so I'm back to square one.

@RTP I LOVE #hexchat. It was my goto #IRC client for years. The maintainer abandoned it in Feb of 2024. See - https://hexchat.github.io/news/2.16.2.html

I jumped to #TheLounge because it behaves well on mobile and desktop and maintains connection when I'm not actually using it because I selfhost it 24x7.

@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.

@serge @michelamarie For #IRC clients, I use #Halloy <https://halloy.chat/> and #TheLounge <https://thelounge.chat/>.

Just hopped back on #IRC and have #TheLounge running on my server. Not too bad all things considered.

@shollyethan What are you into?
##chat is a good one if you just want activity. Personally, I'm in #Hamradio, #perl, #TheLounge, #systemd, #gamingonlinux, #indieweb-dev and a couple others.
None of them are nearly as popular as ##chat, though.

I've finally discovered "The Lounge" #IRC client.
Worth a look if you're considering a new (or first) IRC client.

#thelounge

On April 2024 I picked up a small Lenovo server on sale and put it on the corner of my desk at home. From there began my return to self hosting:

- Social: #Mastodon
- Blog: https://blog.nytsoi.net/
- Code: #Forgejo https://git.ahlcode.fi
- IRC: #TheLounge
- Cycling planner: #Wanderer (due to be replaced)
Electricity price/usage monitoring: https://git.ahlcode.fi/nicd/hanuri
- Plus various websites

And now music streaming with #Navidrome.

Really happy with how everything has worked. :)

#SelfHosting

The irc.linux.lt server (part of Aitvaras.net) has been upgraded to UnrealIRCd version 6.2.0.2 and 6.2.1 is on it's way.

Remember the old mIRC times? So those times are gone.

#Linux is the desktop now and #TheLounge is the cloud web-based irc client.

@the_gamer_tavern

What we found being stable, being running and developed in different flavors since the '88 (hoooooly cow, feels like yesterday...) is IRC.

We dabbed with our own hosted server at irc.gamerstavern.online (port 6697) and I must say that, as simple as it could be, it is still a better system than Matrix.

In addition to that, to help our less-tech-savvy users, we also decided to host TheLounge, a neat client that help simplifying the usage of IRC and allows users to jump in chat with our community (both on IRC and Discord, being the two of them bridged with a self hosted tool), without the need of registering an user.

Feels too good to be true?
Jump in chat.gamerstavern.online and see for yourself ;)

Je viens de mettre à jour mon client IRC #thelounge (oui j'étais à la bourre) et j'ai subitement eu un relent de nostalgie de l'époque où ma vie d'ado était sur IRC, où ma vie de jeune développeur était sur IRC.
C'était tellement bien, pourquoi vous êtes tous partis les gens ? 😭

RIP my IRCCloud subscription. Great service, nothing to complain about it. They've been driving IRCv3 forwards and it even supports Slack. But my IRC channels are so dead that it was difficult to convince myself why I should pay to have a hosted client.

For now, I'm running The Lounge on my own server so I can join those couple of channels where ~5 old timers repeat the same jokes with months of silence in between. Peak IRC experience.

So what's the IRC client du jour if you're not into terminals and you want it to stay online? Is it still The Lounge? Or some bouncer + local client? How is the connection to it managed securely?

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

• Hardware: #RaspberryPi500 (8 GB RAM, 512 GB SD card) #RPi #RPi500 #SingleBoardComputers #HomeLab
• OS: #Stormux, an accessible #Linux distro based on #ArchLinuxARM #LinuxAccessibility #AccessibleTech

Infrastructure & Networking

• Dashboard: #Glance (#Docker) #DockerApps
• Reverse Proxy: #Caddy
• DNS: #Cloudflare
• Domain Registrar: #Porkbun
• Networking & Remote Access: #Tailscale (non-Docker), love its SSH agent and magic DNS features. #NetworkSecurity

Security & Monitoring

• Ad Blocking: #AdGuardHome (non-Docker). Previously used PiHole but find AdGuardHome slightly faster. #PrivacyTools
• Server Monitoring: #Beszel (non-Docker). Tried Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager (accessible but overkill) and Netdata (poor screen reader accessibility). Beszel isn't perfect but best compromise so far. #ServerMonitoring
• Server Overview: #Cockpit (non-Docker)
• Security Tools: #Fail2ban, #FirewallD, #ClamAV, and #Rkhunter (non-Docker). Tried CrowdSec but couldn't get it working on Stormux. #CyberSecurity
• Service Uptime Monitoring: #UptimeKuma (Docker), accessible and easy to use. #MonitoringTools

Authentication & Identity Management

• Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  
• LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
  #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

• Docker Management: #Dockge (Docker). More accessible than Portainer; main issue is built-in terminal isn't readable with screen readers. #DockerCompose
• Docker Logs Viewer: #Dozzle (Docker), great web interface and easy searching.
• Git Hosting: #Forgejo (non-Docker), my personal Git server. #GitServer
• Backups: #IDrive (non-Docker), backs up all my devices easily. #BackupSolutions
• Notes: #Joplin server (Docker). Accessibility improving; love the VSCode extension. #NoteTakingApps
• Bookmarks: #Linkding (Docker). Accessible bookmark manager with good browser extension support. #BookmarkManager
• Recipes: #Mealie (Docker), starting to learn cooking! 🍳📖  #CookingApps
• RSS Feeds: #Miniflux (non-Docker), excellent accessibility. Originally wanted better podcast support but other options had major accessibility issues. #RSSReader
• Automation & Workflows: #N8N (Docker). Haven't explored deeply yet—open to ideas! #AutomationTools #WorkflowAutomation
• Pastebin Service: #PrivateBin (non-Docker). Considering alternatives or CLI tool for easier console access. #PastebinAlternative
• File Sharing & Editing: #Samba (non-Docker), easy file management from my Windows 11 mini PC. #FileSharing #Windows11
• Search Engine: #SearXNG (non-Docker), accessible and searches multiple engines at once. #PrivacySearchEngine
• IRC Client: #TheLounge (non-Docker). Some accessibility issues but best I've found so far for always-connected IRC. #IRCClient
• Read Later Service: #Wallabag (Docker). Biggest issue is Wallabagger Chrome extension doesn't work for me yet. #ReadItLater

Notifications & Development Workflow

• Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
• Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

• Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
• Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

In the light of ongoing political challenges to democracy and freedom of speech, I would like to propose a tutorial on how to create a low-cost, light-weight, open-source, cross-platform, anonymous, secure social network, which I have described in the following easy-to-follow tutorial.

The Lounge - Un client IRC moderne à auto-héberger

#TheLounge #IRC #Souvenirs #Shaarli

Considering replacing this with #TheLounge; I'd love to hear from folks with experiences with this. I poked a bit at IRC in the past, but the user experience in the context of modern ecosystems was rough. It sounds like this would fix a lot of those problems.

@xmanmonk I know this is more than you signed up for, but The Lounge is a great web-based IRC client/"bouncer". If you can self-host or someone you trust can host it for you, it's a great option. Add a shortcut to your home screen and it works just like an app.

I am fortunate enough, one trusted member of a small community I chat in, hosts an instance and lets me use it as much as I want.

Happy Thanksgiving: November 23, 2023
I just wanted to wish everyone in our News Views Community and our moderators a Happy Thanksgiving. Whatever is on your agenda today, be safe. Enjoy the day, ignore the MAGAts that you might have to encounter, but more importantly, be safe.

Please feel free to chit chat with your fellow News Viewers.

Bon j'ai installer quelques app pour tester le tout :

- #Nextcloud : bon basique mais c'est devenu une grosse usine à gaz surtout avec le dashboard activé ...
- #Grocy : ... sympa mais impossible à utiliser depuis l'appli Android et je sais pas pourquoi et ça m'embète je voulais le mettre a mes parents pour gérer la cave (truc de chat et conserve/pâte ... et la cave a vin)
- #Focalboard : bah c'est plutôt sympa comme alternative a Notion.
- #Cinny : une alternative a Element (pour matrix) histoire d'avoir ça chez moi directement plutôt que l'instance officiel.
- #TheLounge : le seul client web IRC beau 😅 (malheureusement fonctionne pas avec xmpp ​:troll:​)

J'ai encore pas mal d'app a tester mais ça tourne plutôt bien
