Most recently, automated collection of support addresses ๐Ÿ’ฌ has been launched. For retrieving the support addresses of a provider, "XEP-0157: Contact Addresses for XMPP Services" is used. Support addresses will be available in version 2 (v2) of the API. The FAQ section explains how these properties can be provided by server admins.

Many providers started adding support addresses so they can be retrieved automatically ๐Ÿ’ก

Automating the Automatable ๐Ÿค–

During the past year, we worked on automating the process of gathering data about XMPP providers. A suite of tools has been developed since, providing the ability to query properties via XMPP and through the web. ๐Ÿš€

All of these tools run daily to keep the data up to date. :xmpp: Read more about automation in our latest blog post:

If you're using (or thinking of switching to) @aaisp VoIP services and also use #xmpp, the incredible singpolyma of jmp.chat and cheogram.com fame has set up an #sms bridge for general use. To set up:

  1. Add xmpp:cheogram.com to your contacts
  2. Type 'register aa.sgx.soprani.ca'
  3. Type in your phone number and SIP password, and follow instructions for sending incoming messages to the bridge.

Code is at git.singpolyma.net/sgx-aa with more updates on the way; feel free to support singpolyma's work on jmp.chat and liberapay.com/singpolyma


WhatsApp kopieren - aber richtig! (Datengarten #94)


In den fรผnf Jahren seines Bestehens setzt der Android Jabber/XMPP client immer wieder MaรŸstรคbe in Sachen Bedienbarkeit und Zuverlรคssigkeit. Doch was steckt eigentlich dahinter? Nutzen wir die Gelegenheit um mit dem Entwickler zusammen hinter die Kulissen eines neuen Features zu schauen; Wie tief muss man in die XMPP Trickkiste greifen und wo steht sich XMPP manchmal selber im Weg? Nach der Vorstellung des Features (der Vortrag ist gleichzeitig der Zeitpunkt an dem die neue Version verรถffentlicht wird) geht es jedoch nicht nur um XMPP sondern auch um grundsรคtzliche, architektonische Fragen die sich potentiell auf andere Instant Messaging Dienste รผbertragen lassen.

Der Datengarten ist eine regelmรครŸige Veranstaltung des CCC Berlin.

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

It then continued with some #PubSub stuff and finally said ยปIf 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 โ€œsubscribe <my xmpp server>โ€ยซ.

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 Dockerยน. 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 Ejabberdยฒ 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.

ยน 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.ยฒ 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.rโ€ฆ

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 ๐Ÿคฆ





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/
#xmpp


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/
