I setup a weechat relay today for tilde.town's irc server. I have a handful
of shell accounts around The Internet for various use cases and one of them
is for maintaining ssh tunnels for various other applications, sort of like
a poor mans VPN. Anyway, I've got one of those tunnels now going to tilde.town
and also running a weechat irc relay in a screen session connected to
localhost. This combination allows for me to have a persistent connectoin to
the tilde.town irc server. This is nice because my primary computer is a laptop
that is regularly put to sleep during transport. This would typically cause my
IRC session to come and go, potentially causing missed messages. The relay now
allows my laptop to come and go while my connection to the IRC server stays
persistent. When my laptop re-connects, I'm forwarded all missed messages.
