I’ve found that Quassel’s backlog system enables me to monitor multiple channels in one window and that’s pretty helpful. To top it off, I found you can connect it in a multi-user setup by configuring multiple users on the Quassel Core . Of course, centralizing this and delegating it to a server that is in less demand with fewer resources, worked perfectly for me. It simplified the backup and freed some resources across my net.

I am going to skip the really significant features that Quassel brags about (with much reason), but point to this lovely screen shot. It demonstrates how Quassel shows a tiny preview of a link beneath your mouse cursor, keeping you from having to open your browser to view a site that you may not really desire to visit.

I was disappointed to find out that my new one didn’t have a No-IP client. I set out to install their official Linux client, and it was quite easy. The following steps are what I used to compile the latest version from source. This tutorial assumes you already have an established no-ip account and host name.

Change to your home directory

cd ~

Make a new folder for the download

mkdir no-ip-dl

Change to the new folder.

cd no-ip-dl

Download the latest compressed tarball

wget http://www.no-ip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz

Extract the tarball

tar xzf no-ip-duc-linux.tar.gz

Change to the proper folder

cd no-ip-2.1.4

Compile the binaries and install the executables.

sudo make install

This will prompt you to answer the necessary details for configuration, like your email address, password, desired interface, etc.

Then launch the application by:

sudo /usr/local/bin/noip2
