[21:56] kyrofa, you around? [21:56] gsilvapt, I am [21:57] Can you invite me to lococouncil please? [21:57] I need to fix this bouncer issue but until then I'd like to be in the channel [21:57] kyrofa, ^ [21:57] gsilvapt, you should be able to invite yourself [21:57] A little odd, I know [21:58] Hum, let me try then [21:58] Well, I can't invite someone to a channel I am not in [21:59] by the way, do you recommend any bouncer provider, kyrofa ? [21:59] gsilvapt, a provider? No. I currently use ZNC, but once I have time I plan on just setting up thelounge [21:59] gsilvapt, I don't trust anyone else with my data, so my solution is self-hosted [21:59] kyrofa, znc would work too [22:00] i just need to access it anywhere and I can't from my university's connection. Maybe the networks ports are blocked and I can't do anything about it [22:01] kyrofa, perhaps an IRC cloak would be enough to be able to get all the feeds from the channels I want? [22:02] gsilvapt, then I doubly suggest something like thelounge [22:02] gsilvapt, you can visit it over ports 80/443 [22:02] (it's a web interface) [22:03] kyrofa, thank you but I don't have any way to do any self-hostage [22:03] Oh, darn. Then perhaps irccloud? [22:03] gsilvapt, you can always use a vpn as well if it's port blockage that's in the way [22:04] kyrofa, do you know any for free? I am running on a short budget for the upcoming year [22:04] Preferably legal and stuff that will not bring me any privacy concerns :P [22:04] gsilvapt, yes, ZNC and thelounge are both free, but you have to host them. I don't know of any that are both hosted for you and free of charge [22:05] Oh, you mean VPN? I don't suggest ANY free VPNs other than ones you setup yourself [22:05] btw, this should work /msg chanserv invite #channel [22:05] Note that some home routers can do it [22:06] thank you, pleia2 :) [22:06] you're welcome :) [22:06] Hey there pleia2 :) [22:06] o/ [22:06] kyrofa, I will investigate on this topic to see if there is anything I can do about this other than inviting myself to the channel :-P [22:06] Well yeah, that won't help much if you can't access IRC :P [22:07] I can via Franz because I can use other ports [22:07] I just can't access this server's address for some reason and they do not have any other alternative ports [22:08] I also run a server that a bunch of xubuntu folks have shell accounts on and use znc, anyone trusted enough to be on the loco council is trusted enough by me for an account [22:08] so just let me know :) [22:09] thank you, pleia2. I will check my possibilities and see if I can/should opt for a service like a VPS or VPN. I heard some offers for 1€/month. That seems kind of doable even for me [22:10] ok, well my VPS isn't going anywhere, so feel free to reach out if you change your mind [23:06] pleia2, can we talk about that in pvt?
