   I was surprised the other day to stumble upon a new IRC client being bundled with Gnome called Polari: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Polari.

     There’s a whole enterprise intranet solution being aggressively marketed here that is just a fancy UI on top of IRC.

     @encycl oh dear, well I guess IRC could have a better UI :-)

     @zoowar I haven't tested either for IRC very thoroughly. I've usually stuck with irssi. My impression is Polari is going for simple but easy to use, so not as featureful.

     @zoowar To be honest, I wasn't even aware that Empathy supported IRC :-)

     @lohang @zoowar I'm still sticking with old skool: running irssi in a screen session on a server. This way I have 24/7 presence, and can e.g. see what people wrote while I was away.

     I have a hard time seeing how anyone uses an _IM_ software for long-lived MUC presence without going insane.

     @knuthollund So the logs are stored in files, I usually access them from the command line (e.g. with grep). I'm not sure if you can import them, I rarely quit irssi, I just leave it running on the server.

     @knuthollund If you want a GUI client but with a similar "always present" idea, you could also try smuxi or quassel. Both have a server component that you can run on your VPS, and the you just launch the client on your local machine when you want to check in.
