If you want persistent IRC history/logs and notifications without having to have a computer online all the time, but you don't have/know how to set up a server, you can use the Matrix network to stay connected.

Before logging in

To get started, open

https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#apertium:matrix.org

It'll say "Click here to join the discussion". If you don't have a Matrix account already, just do that, and enter a username, click Continue and fill out the captcha and you're in!

(If you already have a Matrix account, instead click "Login" and enter your details.)


Details

Riot is a client for the Matrix network. Matrix is sort of a supercharged IRC network/protocol, which "bridges" into regular IRC networks like Freenode but also provides a host of other features.
