Bouncer: SMS Filter for iOS. Unlike other SMS filtering apps, Bouncer does not share, upload, or send any of your personal information or SMS messages to a remote server. All filtering processes occur locally on your phone, ensuring data privacy and security. #Bouncer #iOS #OSS #OpenSource #SMS #Spam #Filter https://github.com/afterxleep/Bouncer/blob/main/README.md#bouncer-sms-filter-for-ios

So I've finally bit the bullet and installed the Soju #IRCv3 bouncer, and started using Senpai and Goguma as clients. The latter in particular feels modern while still being cozy and fast (who thought that wouldn't be possible?). Not feeling the need for a web based client, but I'm 100% sure now whoever claims IRC (the protocol) cannot compete with newer services hasn't really tried modern IRC.

This came prompted by @reidrac's new channel about retro development, but while at it I've removed the bridged rooms I've been using in Matrix.

If you need an IRC #bouncer please consider Soju: it was trivial to build even on #OpenBSD, easy to configure, and runs perfectly behind relays which I use for TLS termination. Thanks @emersion for a nice piece of software!
