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