# IRC
|
|
|
|
on tilde.cafe you can hangout and chat on the `#cafe` channel of [tilde.chat](https://tilde.chat) irc (best for casual chat and exploring other tildes and related communities),
|
|
or `#tilde.cafe` channel of [libera.chat](https://libera.chat) irc (preferred for support)
|
|
|
|
[tilde.chat](https://tilde.chat) is an irc network for the tildeverse ([what is the tildeverse?](faq.html)).
|
|
|
|
## how to connect
|
|
|
|
- the `chat` command automatically connects you to both of the networks with `weechat`
|
|
and joins the channels #meta and #cafe on tilde.chat, and #tilde.cafe on libera.chat.
|
|
- `irssi` is also available, but without pre-made configuration
|
|
|
|
## weechat relay
|
|
|
|
https://username.tilde.cafe/weechat is configured to proxy to the default unix relay socket location (~/.weechat/relay_socket).
|
|
to set it up:
|
|
0. make sure you start weechat in a way so that it keeps running after you log off, easiest way is inside tmux (or screen, or byobu),
|
|
1. in weechat:
|
|
1.1. `/relay add unix.weechat %h/relay_socket`
|
|
1.2. `/set relay.network.password CorrectHorseBatteryStaple` (use your own secure password, it can be anything, it's independent from the shell/email password)
|
|
1.3. `/save`
|
|
2. every time you start weechat, in another shell (such as tmux window or pane), `chmod 606 ~/.weechat/relay_socket`
|
|
|
|
you'll need to do step 2 every time you restart weechat, but other steps will never need to be done again
|
|
|
|
some clients that allow connecting through this relay are [Glowing-Bear](https://glowing-bear.org/) web-client and [Weechat-Android](https://github.com/ubergeek42/weechat-android#weechat-android-relay-client)
|
|
port is 443, domain is username.tilde.cafe (substitute your username), password is what you just set as relay password, and on weechat-android, make sure you select `websocket(SSL)`
