No, I really can't. Due to my ISP, I cannot run a home server (to explain it simply, I am double-triple+ NAT'd depending on the day, and while I can access the web (obviously!), there is no way back through). I don't expect you to understand the situation, but that is the simple truth of the matter. Telling everyone to 'just keep a home server running 24/7/365 along with all the upkeep that requires in order to make IRC functional' is not practical.
And you're right. Nobody should have to run a home server for the sake of chat history. As I said - and before me Sasi already pointed out the existence of bridges - in previous mails the protocol at this point doesn't matter Most Matrix clients will support IRC as well (like NeoChat and Element), but seem like that is lost in all these messages. Anyhow this whole conversation really start to feel more like gatekeeping than an actual conversation on "way to contribute to openSUSE".
and I do not run a "home server" for the sake of chat history, but I do run a home server and chat history is easy to log in that case.
Great, that is you and your choice. Giving this kind of recommendation to any user is like recommending your neighbor who complains about their lawn to move to the desert cause there they wouldn't need to mow the lawn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ See how absolutely idiotic that sounds?
ps: again, your sentences do not wrap.
Glad you get the important part of the message ;)
