Two features are indispensable for those who are only online periodically and have no ZNC server:

  • The chathistory feature enables us to grab a recent log when entering a channel.
  • MemoServ is a memo service bot that collects messages for you while you are offline and delivers them to you when you connect.

It’s somewhat shocking that libera.chat still does not have the chathistory capability. But it has MemoServ. Then servers that I know of which support chathistory (e.g. irc.techrights.org) do not have a memo service bot.

Does anyone know of a server that has both?

Normally, we would expect netsplit.de to have this sort of information. But the server list is a bit crude and unsearchable. Is netsplit.de the only game in town? Looks like they do not export their dataset.

    i only tried the web ui, which works. it’s using some magic ircv3, so maybe that doesnt work with your method.

    it doesn’t have memoserv itself, but since it has chat history, you get dm’s even if you’re offline, at least that’s how i understand it.
