I&rsquo;ve always been tweaking the stack that makes it possible though, trying to arrive at something that offers a pleasant and continuous experience across all of my devices.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve tried WeeChat on a VPS, acting as a relay that my other devices connect to, run ZNC and pounce as bouncers and just straight up connected to networks independently from each device with no message history. There was however always some part of the experience that wouldn&rsquo;t hold up to the ideal I was pursuing.</p>
