There are sometimes discussions about an end-to-end encrypted private social media e-mail chat network 🤯 Basically you could follow delta chat profiles and subscribe and probably react to their encrypted broadcasts ....

This and many other discussions are the "humus" on which #deltachat evolves and, for example, became a super-app: Android 1.50.3 spearheads direct #webxdc app picking via the "attach" chat action. Actually #cheogram and #monocles, both #xmpp messengers, released this first!

The android menu that you get via "attach" button. The menu shows 7 icons, with the last one "apps" that is surrounded by a red circle.
The attach app screen. It shows a straight forward app list and a search bar. The app list has "shopping list" "text cards" and other utilities. The app store is in the utility tab. Next are games and home

🎉 Happy to announce that my talk "A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP" at FOSDEM has been accepted! 🎉

I'll explore a new way of seeing XMPP and how it can achieve things quickly and simply when used as a coding interface. I’ll also discuss the work of the XMPP Standards Foundation and why having many XEPs isn’t a bad thing.

📍 See you at FOSDEM 1 & 2 February 2025 at Real-Time Lounge.

Last time we raised funds to add offline messaging support to #bifrost bridge, which connects #matrix and #xmpp. Now we need to raise some funds again to adapt the bridge to support recent changes in how media is shared in matrix. Please contribute opencollective.com/bifrost-med… #FreeSoftware Once we have some funds, we hope this will motivate someone to fix the bridge. You can also join xmpp:bifrost-mam@groups.podder… if you like to help.

I’m slowing starting to think about what a 10 year anniversary update to my "The State of Mobile XMPP in 2016"¹ would look like.

It’s interesting what parts of the article are still relevant today (mostly how push works and how that impacts battery drain) while other parts are seemingly irrelevant. Yes, #XMPP works on mobile phones. Obviously. That’s how the overwhelming majority (⅔) of users uses XMPP².

The State of Mobile XMPP in 2016

An essay about the state of XMPP as a protocol for instant messaging, clearing up common misconceptions about reliabilty, battery-consumption, push and end-to-end encryption.

interessant. Ich kämpfe auf meinem #grapheneos auch seit einer Weile mit dem Akkuverbrauch von #signal. Schade, dass in #younohost seit dem Update auf #debian 12 nicht mehr automatisch ein #XMPP Server integriert ist. Das war schon ein sehr bequemer Weg für Laien wie mich, unfallfrei, unkompliziert und günstig einen solchen zu klicken und pflegen.
#xmpp #debian #signal #grapheneos #younohost

I installed #Signal and #Conversations_im on a clean install of #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a and measured the battery impact. The results are shocking!

Both messengers had only one contact: my regular phone.

I used my regular phone to send messages to the Pixel 4a (which was not used for anything else over the course of the experiment).

I always sent the same message via Signal and #XMPP (mixing up which app went first). In total I sent ~32 messages in intervals of 10mins to a few hours.

Battery usage stats from an Android phone. The battery is down to 10% after 20 hours since last full charge. Signal has consumed 95% in that period and Conversations 5%

While this is not a "hard" security measure and might lead to a false sense of security, it is an easy and effective method of #dataHygiene.

I wonder, if any #Jabber clients have this feature?

Should #Conversations_im add stun.conversations.im as a fallback for #XMPP servers missing XEP-0215: External Service Discovery?

I’ve hesitated to add anything resembling "calling home" (no update checker, no metrics).

However, the main goal here wouldn’t be improving A/V call success (though it helps) but making P2P file transfers more reliable. Many servers still lack HTTP Upload, and the refactored Jingle File Transfer would benefit greatly from a fallback STUN server.

Oha, das ist provokativ: Dieser Blogartikel sagt:

- Nutzt kein #PGP / #GPG
- Nutzt kein #XMPP + OMEMO
- Nutzt kein #Matrix (im Sinne: verlasst euch nicht auf die Verschlüsselung)
- E-Mails verschlüsseln ist sinnlos

Ich kenne den Autor nicht und würde ihn nicht erwähnen, würde der Artikel nicht in ernstzunehmenden ITSec-Newslettern zitiert

Hello o/ I am excited to announce Bechamel a collective around the software knows as Guix (which most people use through the Gnu channel of Guix)

Bechamel is something I started as a much easier way for people to contribute to a guix channel (no emailing patches, workflow not built around Emacs, xmpp used instead of irc). It also aims to be a more private and safes space to contribute to Guix things (like using the JoinJabber CoC and the soon the Cooperative Software Development Guidelines) among other things. Rationale: codeberg.org/Guix_Bechamel/col…

There are also some other plans including tackling the long-standing accessibility problems in Guix, adding pilul support to guix, rust/python build system improvements and much improved and updated support for xmpp things. Hopefully you are going to see me post a lot more about it from now on :)
At the moment it has updated Gajim the XMPP client to 1.9.5 which brings around 2 years of updates. It also has started having some extensive practical documentation around Guix. And some other things like cerca the forum software.

Gajim is currently migrating from GTK3 to GTK4. 🔧 GTK is Gajim's user interface toolkit. It provides building blocks, like windows, buttons and labels. 🧩

Version 4 of this toolkit brings performance improvements to Gajim, e.g. faster rendering of user interface elements. 💨
Additionally, switching to GTK4 allows Gajim to use newer widgets, like nice drop downs.
Here is a quick peek at a new group chat "@ mention" widget. 😎

Stay tuned! :xmpp:

Just "released" the first usable version of #Convo, an #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS and #JioPhone feature phones! :xmpp:

git.disroot.org/badrihippo/con…

I was hoping to release a more complete version as 1.0, but that's taking a while, and people are already starting to use it as it is (especially with the impending shuttering of #WhatsApp on KaiOS) so I decided to get this out right away 📦

I've also submitted to the #BananaStore, so hopefully it should be out there soon 🍌

Screenshot of the Convo app running on KaiOS, listing various open conversations. Visible chats (with truncated titles) are: Convo - XMPP messaging; Prav - Reclaiming choice, and Friend; JoinJabber General Chat.
New chat screen on Convo, showing tabs for "Contacts" and "Group chats". To avoid exposing actual contacts' names without their consent, the names in this screenshot are modified to the fictional "Ned", "Lad Lysa", "ed" and "BRAN"
Screenshot of an open conversation in Convo. The conversation so far is the action "badrihippo-alt joins the room once again" followed by a message saying "Looks like we also need to add support for opening links". A profile picture is shown next to the actions and message bubbles, but in this case that "picture" is just an alphabet

I've noticed that, for me and my wife at least, #Signal isn't always reliable for time sensitive messages. Even after exempting it from the Android power saving and everything it's almost like it goes to sleep sometimes and notifications don't pop until we open it up. The #XMPP app Conversations.im however is very reliable. Running a packet capture on my phone shows that when switching networks #Conversations immediately reconnects, but Signal doesn't, sometimes for several minutes.
A screenshot of a packet capture on my phone, showing the apps that were first to reconnect after starting the capture. The app behaves like a VPN so starting a capture makes apps reconnect, thinking you've switched networks.

So... #Signal and #Wire, which both have issues, but not #Matrix / #XMPP? And for video, 2 #YouTube front ends and a proprietary YouTube clone, but no direct mention of #Peertube? And for Translation, the proprietary #Deepl, but no mention of the local and #Privacy respecting #Firefox #translate

Some updates on my #Libervia work:

- Kicked off #email #gateway project (nlnet.nl/project/EmailXMPPgate…) using IMAP/STMP. Basic gateway should be coming soon.
- Preparing next major release: web frontend design & internal improvements in progress. The release will be *huge*.
- Started new desktop frontend; more details to follow.
- Aiming to resume blogging and weekly videos this week, if time allows.
- Targeting a Libervia-based service by the end of the year.

Reminder that #xmpp is a great alternative to signal/whatsapp especially for 1-1 chats and voice calls.

If you want to self host, try out snikket. They have paid hosting available too.

For Android users, Conversations is a fantastic client.

Of course, most people making noise about it all still want the convenience of a free service.

Movim 0.27 Lovas is finally there! 🎉

In this #Movim #release you'll find the first exciting video-conferencing features integrated with the help of the @nlnet funding. A big thanks to them for their precious support 😊 ❤️

The call flow is now completely integrated in the main window and an important refactoring was done both in the frontend part and the #XMPP Jingle stack.

You will also find several user interfaces fixes as well as a database reorganization.

⚠️ This version is also fixing a serious security issue that could cause remote-code execution under specific circumstances. We are inviting you to update as soon as possible.
