[00:16] <grtcdr> Is this channel still alive?
[00:17] <elacheche[m]> Hello grtcdr: 
[00:17] <grtcdr> Holy moly!
[00:17] <grtcdr> Hi :à
[00:17] <grtcdr> :)*
[00:17] <elacheche[m]> At past midnight GMT you won't find many folks x) 
[00:18] <grtcdr> I'm pretty stoked to see a tunisian community on IRC.
[00:18] <grtcdr> How's your day?
[00:18] <elacheche[m]> You mean, night, right? x) it's niice :) 
[00:19] <grtcdr> Yeah my bad!
[00:19] <elacheche[m]> There were many tn communities on irc 
[00:19] <grtcdr> Where are they now? /list shows this channel, and this channel only.
[00:20] <elacheche[m]> I'm using the matrix irc bridge, that's why you can only see this channel.. 
[00:21] <elacheche[m]> Also, I said "were" not "are"
[00:21] <grtcdr> That's very sad.
[00:22] <elacheche[m]> Today, I don't know if there are many TN irc channels on libera.chat
[00:22] <grtcdr> I was hesitant to join at first, seeing how the latest commit to your bazaar repository had been some 13 years ago.
[00:23] <grtcdr> elacheche[m]: Yeah, I should maybe check to see if any other channels are out there for us Tunisians on different servers.
[00:24] <elacheche[m]> Yeah, it's  been a while, but, we weren't big code contributors, we mainly did events, evengalism and other types of contribs.. 
[00:24] <grtcdr> I love me some linux evangelism...
[00:24] <grtcdr> Are the guys from 13 years ago still around?
[00:25] <elacheche[m]> At least one of them is..
[00:26] <grtcdr> Which one are they?
[00:26] <elacheche[m]> You mentioned bazaar, that makes me think that you're not here because you were browsing libera.chat channels, but because you were checking our LP page, right? :)  
[00:27] <elacheche[m]> Who do you know from 13y ago ? :) 
[00:27] <grtcdr> I did /list, copy-pasted the website URL and browsed for a little bit. Then I decided to hop in ;) because the communal aspect to ubuntu-tn seemed really fun.
[00:28] <elacheche[m]> Nice :) 
[00:28] <grtcdr> I don't know anybody from here, I was surprised to see a single channel for tunisians.
[00:28] <grtcdr> Do you guys impose a particular language around here?
[00:29] <elacheche[m]> I am not from the 13y ago guys, just the 12y ago ones.. and saying this that way makes me feel old  :/ 
[00:29] <grtcdr> I get that, 13 years is a lot of time.
[00:30] <grtcdr> I'm pretty knew to IRC, I like the nostalgic feel. It reminds of much simpler times.
[00:30] <elacheche[m]> grtcdr: Just some comprehensive lang.. Ar, Fr, En.. But, you won't find many folks around any more.. I guess
[00:30] <grtcdr> Where I'd hop on the family computer to play games like solitaire.
[00:30] <grtcdr> elacheche[m]: Why not revive it?
[00:30] <grtcdr> I suppose that's hard to do.
[00:32] <elacheche[m]> Let's say, it's like a part time job, and people do not have that much time anymore..
[00:33] <elacheche[m]> Anyway.. we're on matrix if you wanna join us there too, we're a little bit more active there.. 
[00:33] <elacheche[m]> I mean, as persons, not as communtiy.  
[00:33] <grtcdr> elacheche[m]: I really prefer IRC over matrix, haven't found any good terminal clients for it.
[00:34] <elacheche[m]> For what?
[00:34] <grtcdr> Well, I found something https://github.com/alphapapa/ement.el
[00:34] <grtcdr> For matrix.
[00:34] <elacheche[m]> What do you use for irc?
[00:35] <grtcdr> Emacs
[00:35] <grtcdr> I used to use weechat, but my move to Emacs has forced me to like a centralized environment for all my computing needs.
[00:35] <grtcdr> Forced is the wrong word, I like the new change :)
[00:35] <elacheche[m]> Take a look at weechat, it's nice, and supports irc and matrix and others.. 
[00:36] <grtcdr> elacheche[m]: I used the matrix plugin for weechat, it's... terrible.
[00:36] <grtcdr> See https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/314
[00:36] <elacheche[m]> I don't like emacs, so I won't comment 
[00:36] <elacheche[m]> VIM <3 :p 
[00:36] <elacheche[m]> I didn't cross an Emacs user since 2013 or so x) 
[00:37] <grtcdr> I love vim, but it doesn't share emacs philosophy, so it's hard to compare them.
[00:37] <grtcdr> emacs'*
[00:37] <elacheche[m]> yep
[00:37] <grtcdr> elacheche[m]: Guess we're pretty rare.
[00:38] <elacheche[m]> indeed x) 
[00:38] <grtcdr> I recently dropped neovim in favor of vim.
[00:38] <grtcdr> As I don't open neovim much anymore, so it made sense to use the lighter and more stable tool for quick file editing.
[00:38] <grtcdr> I'll try and install that emacs plugin, and join the matrix room :)
[00:40] <elacheche[m]> cool :) 
[00:41] <grtcdr> I still don't get the matrix protocol, but then again, I've never attempted to read up on it.
[00:42] <elacheche[m]> You read about protocols! That's nice.. And sounds intelligent :) 
[00:43] <grtcdr> Only on rare occasions.
[00:44] <grtcdr> I procrastinate as well :)
[00:44] <elacheche[m]> :)
[00:44] <grtcdr> I don't think the emacs plugin is ready for production, I'll have to find an alternative.
[00:45] <grtcdr> I'll just use gomuks, which I know gets the job done.
[00:46] <elacheche[m]> :)
[00:46] <grtcdr> I should really put this out there, I only use Ubuntu Server, and in a VM to keep my personal machine clean. I'm not an Ubuntu user per se.
[00:47] <grtcdr> Don't stab me.
[00:47] <elacheche[m]> ^_^
[00:47] <elacheche[m]> It's ok..
[00:48] <grtcdr> Awesome :)
[00:51] <grtcdr> dang i don't remember the element domain
[00:51] <grtcdr> Are you guys on element?
[00:52] <elacheche[m]> matrix.org
[00:52] <elacheche[m]> element is the client
[00:52] <grtcdr> so my username should be @grtcdr:matrix.org right?
[00:52] <elacheche[m]> #ubuntu-tn:matrix.org
[00:53] <grtcdr> What should I set the homeserver? It's expecting an https URL.
[00:53] <grtcdr> It filled it out for me :D
[00:53] <grtcdr> gomuks got some smarts
[00:53] <elacheche[m]> grtcdr: If you're on matrix.org, you can be on an other matrix domain and join a room in matrix.org
[00:54] <grtcdr> elacheche[m]: That's where it gets its decentralization from, right?
[00:55] <elacheche[m]> Yes
[00:58] <grtcdr> So to join a server I have to enter "/join <room> [server]". I've tried "/join #ubuntu-tn" and "/join ubuntu-tn", but neither worked.
[00:58] <grtcdr> The command is "/join <room>" *
[00:58] <elacheche[m]> try #ubuntu-tn:matrix.org 
[00:59] <grtcdr> I'm in, thank you!
[01:00] <elacheche[m]> It's getting late, I need a get some sleep, was nice talking to you.. 
[01:00] <elacheche[m]> See you around :) 
[01:01] <grtcdr> You too :) Goodnight!
[01:02] <elacheche[m]> Thx, gn
