Note that #Quicksy users won’t be able to opt out of TLS 1.3.

If you are sending files to Quicksy users (via HTTP Upload), make sure your HTTP server supports 1.3; otherwise Quicksy users won’t be able to receive the file.

#XMPP #Conversations_im

I just updated the quicksy.im server to Trixie and #ejabberd 24.12

This gives #Quicksy users access to enhanced security features such as channel binding and allows for faster reconnects.

Quick tip for server admins: If you are following a similar upgrade path make sure to add mod_auth_fast to your modules section.

Check via 'Server Info' in #Conversations_im if that worked. Login mechanism should show something like HT-… (Requires going into airplane mode once; Only active from 2nd login)

Someone or something at Google started to hallucinate that #Quicksy is collecting the user's email address and would not approve the app update until we declared that in our data policy.

The sign up process in Quicksy hasn't changed in 7 years. I don't even know where the user would enter their email address and I'm not aware of an API that collects this automatically.

My grandmother recently got locked out of #WhatsApp because her phone broke, and the spare one we had on hand is one WhatsApp has decided is too old to run on 💀

Fortunately, #XMPP has no such qualms! She's currently keeping up with the family group chat on #Quicksy while others of us use #Conversations, #DinoIM, and #Gajim. (Of course, extended family and friends are another matter 😔)

This serves as a reminder that closed apps may close you out—but open protocols have your back forever!

#Prav project started 3 years ago with the goal of mass adoption of private messaging powered by #XMPP and democratic decision-making. The project was inspired by #Quicksy and #Snikket.

In den fünf Jahren seines Bestehens setzt der Android Jabber/XMPP client immer wieder Maßstäbe in Sachen Bedienbarkeit und Zuverlässigkeit. 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 veröffentlicht wird) geht es jedoch nicht nur um XMPP sondern auch um grundsätzliche, architektonische Fragen die sich potentiell auf andere Instant Messaging Dienste übertragen lassen.

Der Datengarten ist eine regelmäßige Veranstaltung des CCC Berlin.

Today I discovered #Quicksy. It's a spin-off of the #XMPP app "Conversations(.)im", developed by the same people, but designed with ease of use in mind. It actually links with and uses your phone number to sign in so it's easy to on-board new users, and easy for new users to find people in their contacts list that already use it. But, it is just a standard XMPP client, so it is still capable of communicating back and forth with people on other XMPP / #Jabber servers.
