My HexChat (RIP) client is still running 24/7, connected to 5 different IRC networks.

NetBSD annual general meetingに間に合った。hexchat インストールした。

Just shut up man. I am 2003. I still use hexchat. Stop crying and start teaching other people.

maybe we can call it hexchat??

We've been busy, thanks to D'Claw @mgd81 we've been added to a new IRC Client: halloy.chat/ !! o7 #mirc #hexchat #halloy #irssi #weechat #2600net #irc #ircclients #ircnetworks #pirates #hackers #2600 cc: @2600

UnrealRCD I2P HexChat?

Aqui era o CyberScript e o T7DS. Depois de um tempo eu curti mais ir no mIRC puro, e quando comecei a me aventurar no Linux usei muito o finado XChat (sucedido pelo HexChat atualmente) e o Konversation do KDE. Hoje em dia eu tô fuçando o irssi, um cliente IRC no terminal.

You can save logs depending on the IRC client, I never used mIRC but i have used hexchat

I used to use hexchat and connect to anime sub/encoding irc channels to download anime from the irc channel

HexChat does implement some of the IRCv3 features

That'll save me some work patching HexChat.

I installed TeamSpeak and IRC (HexChat). It's like being back in my youth. By the way, HexChat only uses 50MB of RAM.

Hexchat got mothballed I think? Also irc unfortunately has what I call "the bouncer issue" as in you need an irc bouncer to save chat history and reserve your nickname and shit

Hexchat

Pretty much most modern apps are like that today. Instead of, let's say, for example, a win32 app connecting using an API to a service, like hexchat or teamspeak 3. Problem is that you need to rewrite if for other OSes if you go that route, because you can't use win32 API on iOS

Try having to use a phone cradle so you could get 300bps to connect to HexChat on IRC to send text messages that would only take a couple of days to go through (each way). Looks like this one does not have the double 5.5 floppy drives so you could run programs. Very modern rig.

I would say it's a HexChat like for Hyprland support

Elon Musk's XChat is a privacy nightmare - Let’s have a look at what it really is. TLDR; it's encrypted, but X holds the keys to decrypt it. • X has the keys to decrypt it. • Grok gets all of the information to train its internal AI. • Files such as images, content, pdfs can be decrypted. • Highlights the need for secure hardware and zero trust. • Steals the name from the original XChat (IRC) • Signal is unmatched. XChat - A Privacy Nightmare In a move that stirred the long-running open-source community, Elon Musk's ‘everything app’ platform, X (formerly Twitter), officially rolled out a major overhaul of its direct messaging system and named it X Chat. How unique! Musk’s aim is to make Twitter the ‘Everything App’ and most recently struck a deal with Visa. Think: marketplace, social credits, messaging, social media, payments processor like CashApp, PayPal. In reality, it’s everything but privacy. It’s everything but practical. And, it’s everything in one centralized spot. This decision immediately generated criticism, as it uses the name of a venerable, two-decade-old piece of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) which went on to become Hexchat. The power behind Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is, it’s decentralized, meaning you take a client and connect to a server or network of servers and if you don’t like that one and its communities, you find another. X’s Chat is completely centralized to Twitter’s servers itself. Musk's X Chat, with its false claims and focus on end-to-end encryption, vanishing messages, and file sharing, is the foundation for his goal: to transform X into a Western version of China's WeChat. China’s surveillance app to keep its citizens in line that includes everything. WeChat integrates social media, messaging, payments, and services, becoming an indispensable 'super-app.' By rebranding and investing heavily in X Chat, Musk is attempting to leverage the utility and integration seen in WeChat, yet pays no homage to the original, community-driven XChat that defined an era of digital communication. It isn’t End-To-End Encrypted With end-to-end encryption, there’s still meta data such as the signaling of a chat request, message, to who, and who it’s from. Oh, and X keeps a copy of the keys on its servers, so who would be able to look in on the messages? Some cybersecurity experts have voiced concerns with X Chat’s security protocols, Security research shows the company could possibly decrypt messages unless X uses hardware security modules to store chat passkeys. Although an X engineer said in a post the company does use hardware security modules, Garrett said the company has not provided proof. Until that’s done, this is ‘trust us, bro’ territory,” and X acknowledges some shortcomings on its chat support page, including that it currently does not protect against “man-in-the-middle attacks,” meaning a “malicious insider,” or X if required by law, could compromise encrypted messages. X says on its support page it is working on a security check that will allow users to verify which devices have access to private conversations, which it says will make these attacks difficult.Concerns have been raised by some cybersecurity experts regarding the security protocols of X Chat. The feature replaces the old direct messaging system and adds capabilities like file sharing, disappearing messages, and voice/video calls. When first using the feature, users are prompted to set a PIN to secure their private key, which is stored on X's servers along with the user's account. Let’s have a look-see about the encryption.. False End-to-end encryption. Chat messages, links, and media are encrypted before leaving the sender's device, so only the sender and recipient can read them.  However, X has a copy of your private keys on its servers, and all information about who was messaged and at what time, and how long messages went back and forth are visible to whoever looks in.. Outdated Encryption Mechanism X Chat uses a cryptographic scheme to encrypt messages. However, unlike some other secure messaging apps, it does not use a double-ratchet algorithm for forward secrecy. It encrypts the messages once, but never changes how it encrypts messages as they’re sent back and forth. Bunk Private Key Storage A private key for each account is generated on the user's device and secured with a PIN. This key is stored on X's servers, along with the user's account information. A user passwords the keys with a pin, but here’s the thing; to decrypt it from X’s end all they need to do is write a simple script that checks all possible 4 digit numbers to brute-force their copy of the key. If a password as 0000 doesn’t work, try 0001 then 0002 all the way to 9999, one of these pins will be the password for the key. It’s Security Theater, a Privacy Nightmare XChat stores users' private keys on its own servers. To access these keys, users must first log into XChat's key-storage system, typically with a password or PIN. This approach is necessary to support stateless clients, such as web browsers, and is comparable to the encryption methods used by Meta for Facebook Messenger and Instagram. However, it is important to note that Meta's services utilize Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Features that all of the other clients already have, but insecure.. In addition to encryption, the new Chat feature includes: • File sharing, so every file you send out, X has. • Disappearing messages, with no verification they aren’t logged or AI being trained on them. • Video and voice calls. • Screenshot blocking (with notifications for the sender). What to know if you're using X's Chat • Metadata is not encrypted. Information such as the sender, recipient, and creation time is not encrypted and remains visible to X. • No man-in-the-middle protection. X does not currently offer protection against man-in-the-middle attacks, meaning a malicious insider or the company itself could potentially intercept messages without the sender or receiver knowing. • PIN is essential. The PIN is needed to restore your private key on a new device and should be kept private. If you forget it, or it glitches asking you for one that you’ve never created, you lose everything. The new chat feature is currently rolling out, and some users are reporting performance issues. The main issue? It’s not secure. X says it is working on adding more features, such as device identity verification to help users protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. How can it do that? The only solution is zero trust architecture. Link to sources in comments.

I used hexchat which was built off of xchat but I don't remember the particular differences at this time ☝️🤓 my discord server which is a continuation of our irc channel has the hexchat logo for the icon ☝️🤓
