I spent about 2 full working days doing #AI coding (not #vibecoding, but with more control and careful guidance). the end result is a daemon I just deployed to send me alerts on #XMPP and #IRC.

What's legally interesting, is that 3+ KLOC result of #Python code has no copyright protection at all – copyright protects specific expressions of creativity, and there's not a signle line I had written myself: from start to end it was "AI".

#AI #killing #copyright #yeah

I think #XMPP has a relatively clear and achievable path to drastically reduce the amount of metadata, but I’m increasingly worried that it is not going to move the needle in terms of adoption.

For 99.99% of people, the only relevant feature for an instant messenger is simply 'Are my friends using it?' The other 0.01% are equally divided between people who already use XMPP and don’t mind the metadata, and people who won’t use it anyway.

Libervia CLI Tip 20:

There is a REPL in the CLI that you can launch with `li shell`.

Inside, you can select a command or sub-command with `cmd`, and fix an argument with `use`:

> cmd pubsub
pubsub> use service pubsub.example.org

Then just enter the sub-command to run it on the given service:

pubsub> affiliations

This is equivalent to `li pubsub affiliation -s pubsub.example.org`.

This is handy for exploring services.

I've just pushed Tor integration in Libervia (first step of the NLnet metadata reduction and serverless grant).

https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/

This has been done thanks to the work of @meejah on `txtorcon` and of course of @torproject and the support of @nlnet and @NGIZero .

A thought for Lunar who is mentioned in the documentation of txtorcon (for doing the Debian package) and who passed away last year.

Screenshot of the Libervia CLI frontend, showing the status of the Tor daemon, and the Tor circuit used to connect to the XMPP server. The first part says: Tor Daemon General data on Tor daemon. mode enabled_no_webrtc (Tor is enabled for all connections, WebRTC is disabled to avoid leaking IPs) version 0.4.8.21 uptime 1 hour, 58 minutes bytes read 1.38 Mio bytes written 1.23 Mio Then we can see the 3 relays used, their id, name, ip, country, relay flags, and a link to the corresponding https://metrics.torproject.org detail page.

Some of you might have experienced difficulties to open Movim as a Progressive Web App on your Android device 🤖

There is a know issue on Chrome related to that https://issues.chromium.org/issues/466790291 , lets hope its being fixed soon 😬

A workaround has been pushed to master, please clear your application cache to deploy it ☺️

I use Matrix, too, via an #XMPP bridge, #slidge by @nicoco. That way, I can use my usual #Jabber clients, which I like better than the Matrix ones. I.e. #Dino by @dino and #Gajim by @gajim.

#omemo, the encryption used in #xmpp is using the same double-ratchet encryption like Signal. In fact many projects even use libsignal internally.

Not everyone can or should self-host, but there is a lot of middle ground between self-hosting and putting everything on #AWS.

Federated protocols like #XMPP, #ActivityPub, and #SMTP give you choice.

Eben wieder bestätigt: XMPP auf nem iOS-Gerät tut nicht gescheit: Nachricht von gestern kam nicht an, bzw. erst heute, nachdem ich per Signal bescheid gesagt hatte.

Chatten geht auch ohne Werbung und auch ohne marktübliches Smartphone 😉 Ein Beispiel ist #XMPP / #Jabber - ein Internetstandard für Instant Messaging.
