So, if you’re like me and like to have your IRC client (in this instance irssi) running on a server in a tmux
or screen
session to never miss out on the conversation, you might feel like you’re missing some of the benefits of running a local IRC client.
In particular, I was missing local notifications when someone would highlight my nickname. I could of course use a bouncer, but hey! it’s no fun running irssi
locally and having to close it for a reboot just as you’ve gotten it precisely the way you like it 🙂…
So, how does one solve this problem?
