![]() Though I did find myself amused, when first googling the issue, by the xkcd strip. Hopefully, this won't degenerate into a discussion of how bad Slack is. ![]() As the change (of stopping irc support, thereby breaking irssi for me) caught me by surprise, I found this very useful. (Their instructions use wget, but you can use fetch of course.) You install py-websocket-client and py27-six, then get the script. You don't have to build it, just start from the setup section in the middle of the page and follow the instructions. (Meh, maybe I'm the only one at a company who uses slack, but ya never know.) As having to have had a browser page open for slack would have been a major annoyance to my workflow, I was glad to find this, and figured I'd pass it along in case other had the same problem. It's a python script that you can load with weechat, and allows you to continue using slack from a terminal or console while keeping your irc channels in the same terminal. They did suggest the (unsupported by them) wee-slack plugin. ![]() I'd seen the announcements, but basically found out the hard way when my irssi window went from something like 15 windows to 4. At any rate, as of May 15th, 2018, Slack discontinued their irc gateway. For those who use slack, whether by choice or not, I suspect many, like myself, prefer using it with irssi or weechat. Networking seems as good a place as any to post this.
