I'm going to take this opportunity to point out that (for me at least) the best IRC client is Matrix. They offer a bridge to Libera.chat, and that then sets up a Matrix "room" for each IRC channel you join.

You then get a consistent session, that all history automatically, with clients for every platform. Plus you're on Matrix which is a good thing :)

Except when it sporadically disconnects and forgets your login credentials.
it should never forget your login creds if you saved them. type !help in the admin room and it’ll tell you how to save them.
That's odd, it happened to me quite a few times on the Libera network despite having saved my credentials with Liberachat IRC Bridge status using `!storepass <password>`, but on OFTC bridge it happens all the time because IIRC it's currently not possible to save credentials for the OFTC network.
