How is it a nightmare? The site you linked literally just links to one of the images under here https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-in... , and not even the most useful one. It'd be more appropriate to link to the multi-arch image because there are many Bay Trail era devices stuck with a wonky 32 bit UEFI / 64 bit processor combination.

Bullcrap. Signal works fine on data alone. I have Tasker automatically turn on airplane mode when I'm on WiFi and it's never caused me to miss a Signal message.

Re:Using Slack through an IRC client on Saturday January 12, 2019 @07:26PM (#18894151)
Or one can use bitlbee, which has been around forever and connects an IRC client to anything that works with libpurple. The full list of what it works with is here: https://wiki.bitlbee.org/

Matterbridge seems interesting as well but I haven't had time to play with it yet. https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge

In view of those more-complete, non-proprietary solutions, you have to be a chump to pay for a Slack IRC bridge.
