Time	Nick	Message
12:12	pdurbin	I just came across posts for a blog I was going to start called "Terminal Verbosity". :)
19:17	prologic	So my wife and I have been using a product I are saying server to communicate over the last couple weeks
19:17	prologic	We use IRC clouds mobile app as the front-end
19:18	pdurbin	sorry, what's the backend?
19:20	prologic	An irc server code base I'm maintaining
19:20	prologic	Also running at home on my infra
19:21	pdurbin	Oh, the one you mentioned. Cool.
19:21	prologic	We seem to have replaced all email and SMS usage y using IRC
19:21	prologic	Yeah!
19:22	pdurbin	Can you send pictures from your phone?
19:23	prologic	https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/W1y7daRi/1509218577.JPG
19:23	prologic	Like this?
19:23	prologic	We will mostly never tried but that's the first one I guess
19:23	prologic	It would be good if that was actually uploaded to my private server instead
19:23	pdurbin	seems to work
19:24	prologic	Just shows up as an ordinary link for you right?
19:24	pdurbin	yep
19:24	prologic	Using the IRC cloud clients it gets displayed in line
19:25	pdurbin	Is that client free?
19:25	prologic	Yes
19:25	prologic	The accounts are free to but you're limited to only stay online for two days before getting disconnected for auto
19:25	prologic	But for the most part that's fine my wife and we have a missed one message in the last two weeks for me
19:26	prologic	I pay for RC club myself so I'm always probably online because I also use it for free mode
19:26	prologic	FreeNode
19:26	prologic	Idle activity *
19:26	prologic	IRC cloud is a bit like a web and mobile client and bouncer all in one
19:28	pdurbin	I just run weechat in a screen session. You're paying IRCCloud to be in a club?
19:29	prologic	Eh?
19:29	pdurbin	"I pay for RC club myself"
19:29	prologic	Oh sorry
19:30	prologic	Stupid iOS speech rec
19:30	prologic	I meant I pay for an IRC Cloud account so I'm online permanently
19:31	pdurbin	sure, makes sense
19:31	pdurbin	I've heard good things.
19:31	prologic	Yeah
19:31	pdurbin	I'm happy enough with weechat+screen though.
19:32	prologic	It's all not too bad really is a lift up the set up
19:32	prologic	You like a decent mobile client connectivity there right?
19:32	prologic	Lack
19:32	prologic	I mean there are pretty decent mobile or say clients but most of them don't have any push notification support
19:33	prologic	Mutter isn't bad -- I tried it out
19:33	pdurbin	I only use weechat+screen from a desktop computer. From my phone I occassionally connect as a different nick (pdurbin_m) from Android using Yet Another Android IRC Client - Yaaic - https://www.yaaic.org
19:36	prologic	RC
19:36	prologic	What sort of interest does it support?
19:37	prologic	Ahh I see^
20:01	pdurbin	On our Mac we have an app called Messages. It might be nice to figure out how to send to it and receive from it from a non-Apple device like my Android phone or my daughter's flip phone which uses SMS.
20:04	prologic	We could do some network dumps of the pockets and figure out what the protocol is an intercept it and translated into why RC
20:04	prologic	Into ITC
20:46		pdurbin_m joined #sourcefu
20:47	pdurbin_m	meh. I take it back. I'd rather think about non proprietary stuff
20:47	pdurbin_m	I did a little searching and didn't find anything
20:48	pdurbin_m	SMS is good enough for me, my wife, and daughter. I'm all about the lowest common denominator.
20:49	pdurbin_m	the only thing I can't do is send pictures to my daughter's flip phone. they're too big
20:49	pdurbin_m	I can send her small images. a non animated gif for example
21:06	prologic	I guess the thing is there is not many good mobile clients for IRC that have the kindo f features IRC Cloud's one has
21:06	prologic	if I knew how to write mobile apps I might build one myself
22:02	pdurbin_m	I'm not sure what features I'm missing.
22:03	pdurbin_m	Yaaic seems fine.
22:10	pdurbin_m	I'm a minimalist. :)
