#XMPP #CertWatch said that »[My] settings are correct and no MITM was detected.« That's great.

It then continued with some #PubSub stuff and finally said »If you do not have a pubsub-capable client you can subscribe for text notifications by opening a chat with certwatch.xmpp.net and sending the message “subscribe <my xmpp server>”«.

My question is now: How do I open a chat with a hostname and not a JID?

My clients are #Gajim resp. #Conversations / #BlabberIM.

Anyone?

I need a #XMPP#Jabber server to test Spades with so I'm about to set up the server for blakes.dev (and blakeslabs.com). I'd like to use Metronome but I'm not sure if or how well it works with Docker¹. Prosody doesn't support MIX (a must for me) and it's also old, crusty, and you know, replaced by Metronome. So now I'm looking at Ejabberd² which doesn't seem to have a community modules system so I don't think I can (easily) extend features onto it, like MIX-MUC, the way Prosody (and Metronome) could. I believe there's also Openfire which I've seen is also behind on features (it doesn't support XEP-0050 Blocking Command?).

I'm probably going to set up Ejabberd but some advice would be appreciated.

¹ I'm using Docker to manage all my shit, like how most of us nerds use Kubernetes. Isn't K8s used for multiple-server servers? I'm only running one VPS, so it's not that useful for me.² They said they were adding Matrix support some time back. That would be very useful to me. I don't see any mention of it in the docs or even the source code though.

#XSF Announcement

Recently there was an incident via a so called #man_in_the_middle attack happened to an #XMPP #server.

To reduce the risk of such attacks in the future an early stage service called CertWatch has been published by our Community: certwatch.xmpp.net/

Many thanks to Stephen P. Weber (@singpolyma)!

Detailed and credible looking report of #LawfulInterception #MitM on an #xmpp server hosted at #Hetzner in Germany: notes.valdikss.org.ru/jabber.r…

Looks like a transparent bridge was deployed in front of the actual server, obtained dedicated certificates from #LetsEncrypt and MitMed all incoming client connections since July. It was discovered because the LE certificate expired 🤦





Mainstream social media and messaging apps (#Facebook, #WhatsApp, #Instagram etc) are a nightmare for our personal data and freedoms.

We have #FreeSoftware replacements for most of these services but maintaining these services has recurring cost and effort.

diasp.in is a community project supported by volunteers. We offer #diaspora, #matrix and #xmpp services.

If we don't find enough volunteers by October 31st, we will be forced to shut it down.

I've been using @snikket_im for the past couple of years with the family and it's been great. Snikket app on mobile and dino on desktop works perfectly. Material you is coming to Conversations 3 (snikket is based off / forked from Conversations). The family server runs on a rpi sat in the kitchen but if you don't want to self host then there is a hosted option. snikket.org/hosting/

Hi!
For the past few weeks, I worked on a new #XMPP project: #1999 !
1999 aims to be an XMPP client that is:
1. #free and #opensource
2. cross-platform (mobile and desktop)
3. modern looking, with a uniform look across platforms
4. user-friendly
5. secure

The goal is to have an xmpp client that has the same name, ui and features on every platform, which I believe is what xmpp lacks right now.

I am not a programmer so this is only a UI at the moment!

More info: 1999.robotfumeur.fr/


I want to enable file uploads on my #XMPP server. (XEP-0363). I'm running #prosody. The docs say "The domain specified in your Component line should ideally be a direct subdomain of your VirtualHost."

Does this mean I cannot use the same domain as my VirtualHost for this? So if my server runs on im.skelly.boo, uploads would have to be on a subdomain for that or a different subdomain entirely?

🤔



this #xmpp project is awesome and need more visibility !

Thanks a lot for the work done so far already !

@dino 0.4.3 just got released with some exciting improvements for #LinuxMobile

1. Several fixes for touch input, making audio/video calls actually usable on phones
2. Fixes for video support so devices with #libcamera / #pipewire support like the #PinePhonePro work now
3. The app is now recognized as mobile friendly on #Phosh
4. Stricter #Flatpak sandbox - no device/all any more

The new version is available on #Flathub and lots of distro repos.

#GNOME #xmpp #Jabber


#XMPP. Chrome's Blink. ActiveX. The <font> tag. Even the file types your spreadsheet software uses. These are examples of open protocols (or parts of) that were taken over by a tech giant.

Because it doesn't matter how open the protocol is, if one player simply outshines the rest.

When #Google implemented XMPP into Google Talk, they slowly pulled things their way. Different implementations, protocol changes, etc. Others had no choice but to follow, or lose the biggest share of users.

In a few weeks I'll be talking about #XMPP and building open ecosystems, at FOSSY in Portland, Oregon: 2023.fossy.us/

As well as an entire track of XMPP talks, there will be a booth and various members from the XMPP community present. It's been a while since the last US XMPP get-together, so I'm looking forward to meeting lots of friendly faces, old and new 🙂

The video of my talk on #Libervia at #OW2Con 23 is now available at youtube.com/watch?v=EkkiKn0TON…

Huge thanks to the organizers! If you have questions or just want to chat about it, don't hesitate to reach out.

Movim 0.22, codename Kowal is out! 🎉

In this version you will be able to configure the privacy level of your blog post, interact with your chat messages in one click (or tap 📱!) and explore our refreshed interface (with lots of small surprises) 😋

@Nuno @amitten Well, I'd say it depends a lot on the concrete situation. Many #activitypub devs have seen how historically companies like Meta & Google have applied a Trojan horse strategy, to eventually take over the small spaces that decentralized and/or FOSS projects had opened. The #XMPP case comes to mind, but it also encompasses how the whole web has become.

If to put in place measures to avoid that happening to the #Fediverse is being a fanatic, long live the fanatics! 😃


Hi all, I can finally confirm that I'll be presenting a talk to the #XMPP track at #FOSSY! I'll be giving an introduction and overview to the protocol targeted at those familiar with programming but with no protocol or XMPP experience. I hope to see you there! 2023.fossy.us/


🗨️ Ce vendredi à 17h30, j'aurai le plaisir de présenter #Libervia à Pas Sage en Seine (#PSES). Libervia va au-delà d'un simple client #XMPP : c'est un écosystème de communication universel, riche en fonctionnalités, respectueux de la vie privée et basé sur un système décentralisé. Parfaitement adapté aux groupes privés, aux messageries internes ou comme réseau social libre. programme.passageenseine.fr/ #logiciellibre #opensource #vieprivée #décentralisation #PSES #Paris


Let's do some #xmpp #uxdesign !
I'm thinking about the new start window for Renga with the new anonymous chat option. I think I'm going for this but I don't like that "create new account" is a radio item+a button (in the current version it's just a button and there is no radio list)
Any idea how to avoid this? Thought about it on and off for a few days but didn't come up with something convincing
