Weechat Remote Control (WRECON)

Long story short

As I am doing maintenance of mother's PC remotely (she have installed linux), and I am doing it over Teamviewer, sometime there is an issue to establish connection with remote PC (very often due to timeouts). And finally, when connection is established, then I usually start terminal, and then performing maintenance - updates, upgrades etc.

Couple years ago my brother introduced me with weechat (and also with possibility to encrypt #Channel communication by using ircrypt). Later he introduced me with tmate. Both applications are part of packages in most of linux distributions, and also you can install it on Android too, in termux (this possibility I found later).

Once I was unable reach out mother's PC remotely, then I was finding a way how to ensure only ssh connection without owned public IP. Then I got idea to use somehow an IRC #Channel with encrypted communication by using a script, which will ensure start of tmate session on remote PC, and let me know about it. Then I started write a script in python for weechat...

By this way I want to big thank you for my brother for his ideas, suggestions and help.

Now you have possibility use the script also.
