Ask HN: Is anyone hosting their own Jitsi server? | May 2023

I set one up on my basement server when the pandemic hit for my church, since Zoom's free meetings were limited to 45 minutes. I was able to allow Jitsi to run as a web app on phones, but people complained that it ate through their batteries fast and caused them to get hot. They went back to meeting in person outdoors, and didn't need it. I turned it off after about a month, and haven't needed to look into it again.

IRC + Jitsi could work for a lot of people, but there's still enough trust in big centralized platforms for people to be satisfied with them.

IRCv3 2022 Spec round-up | Nov 2022

Here are my biased recommendations ;-)

a. Ergo [1] as the server for a greenfield setup

b. Gamja [2] and Goguma [3] ) as clients

c. Soju [4] as a bouncer for non-Ergo networks

IRCv3 has an extension that does just that. I've played with it using ergo.

You might wanna check it out. Things like code quotes and expand/collapse would be cool to add to an IRC client. I think some clients already support emoji as it's just UTF8?

It's common for IRC users to use IRC from a terminal client on their desktop. If they have a remote server they'll ssh into a box and use their terminal client there. They'd also use a screen session to keep their IRC client running 24/7 so they can keep receiving messages. Or they'll keep an eggdrop bot on a server somewhere, which is basically a sorta IRC proxy that they connect to from any IRC client and can keep their user online in the background.
