I am wondering what the best way to use IRC would be.

I have played a bit around with weechat, but I noticed that messages do not persist. I like using linux, but am looking for software maybe that is in homebrew and would work well on a mac too. Any suggestions for what to try are appreciated. I am currently typing this all out in w3m in a terminal interface, and I would like a terminal interface for the IRC channel as well, with more robust server management for handling messages when Iโ€™m offline; Iโ€™d like to still be part of the conversation and to see the history of the chat.

The way I interact with IRC is that I have a VPS thatโ€™s running irssi in a tmux window. That way I can always ssh into the VPS and re-attach tmux to get the latest messages.
