TUI app with 100+ interactive Python Regex exercises
These exercises have been adapted from my Understanding Python re(gex)? ebook (free to read online).

Show HN: Interactive Exercises for Python Regular Expressions
This new version is a TUI app built with Textual. Previous one was written using `tkinter` [0] and covered only four of the `re` functions.
Now, any valid Python expression is accepted as a solution. Both the builtin `re` and third-party `regex` modules are covered.
These exercises have been adapted from my Understanding Python re(gex)? ebook [1] (free to read online, and PDF/EPUB versions are free till the end of this month).
I'd appreciate your feedback, happy learning :)

Show HN: Interactive exercises for Linux CLI text processing commands
Last year, I did a similar project for 75 Python regular expressions exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...
That was with Tkinter. I'm planning to update the regex book next year (to add new features like possessive quantifiers and other misc changes). Along with this update, I'll probably make a TUI version and add support for rest of the exercises.

Simplicity of IRC
IRC as a protocol is indeed incredibly simple and easy to get started with. Years ago did discover this when I was able to make [this atrocity](https://github.com/creesch/discordIRCd) bridging IRC and discord where for IRC I effectively did a simple server implementation.
There is a caveat, though. Like many older protocols (ftp) there is a lot that was not initially written down or left up to clients and server implementations. This, does lead to a lot of edge cases you need to be aware of once you want to actually support a wider user group.
Also, as this is apparently is still a discussion. IRC is not simple from a modern user UX perception. Registration can be complex and confusing, though hidden a bit through clients. Managing channels with various flags is a whole other thing. Then there is also the fact that these days people are no longer used to the fact that they can't see messages from periods where they were not connected. Of course, the latter can be easily handled by a BNC or fancy clients like https://thelounge.chat . But, that is only easy for technically inclined folks.

Posthog is closing their Slack community in favor of forum
> It’s 2024, people aren’t going to go out of their way to setup “bouncers” to keep up with conversation that happens when they’re not online or leave their computer running 24/7.
You can just set up something like The Lounge [0].

Show HN: GodotOS: A Fake Operating System Interface Made in the Godot Engine
Excellent idea! You'll have a mature, open standard protocol under the hood, with no vendor lock-in, excellent extensibility, and great modern frontends like The Lounge (https://thelounge.chat/) or Convos (https://convos.chat/) to choose from (and you can choose).

Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
For the other layers one can front-end IRC with TheLounge [1][2] or Convos [3][4]. TheLounge only persists history in private mode meaning that users are created in that front-end and chat messages are in Redis. For small networks or groups of friends this is probably fine.
Notably missing is voice chat. I use the Mumble client [5] with the Murmur or uMurmur [6] server which is light-weight enough to run on ones home router. I use it on Alpine Linux, works great. It's not a shiny and attention grabbing as Discord but probably fine for everyone else. For people to create their own voice channels would require the full-blown Murmur server.
