The only crucial feature, that is still missing for me, so that I finally can ditch #Dino and #Gajim: XEP-0444: Message Reactions (and related, but less essential for me: XEP-0461: Message Replies).

#Emacs #Jabber #XMPP

@gusseting

Nice article! Very useful!

I do, however, disagree with @parismarx about Signal and Whatsapp. I never used them and believe we should (try to) avoid them, as they are deeply integrated with #bigTech, i.e. one with AWS,, the other with Meta.

We can use the #fediverse, so let's use federated chat, too! Paris mentions Matrix/Element, which is great. I like to add the founder of federated IM: #Jabber/#XMPP, which exists since 1999.

#digitalSovereignty

Wow!

@thanosapollo just released emacs-jabber 0.10.0 with impressive new features:

@Jerry 👍 for #Jabber, the #fediverse of #chat since 1999 😉

Btw. TeleGuard is in my #instantMessaging chart: https://mov.im/blog/debacle/76bf90a4-5f59-4962-92db-6cd859f42ec9

@untrusted

Only through @thanosapollo I learned about https://github.com/mierenhoop/picomemo

It seems to be a pretty small #OMEMO library in C, supporting both "oldmemo" and "newmemo". Nice!

Will package it for #Debian:

@stefanpfeiffer.blog

Im Grunde bin ich auch in einem System gefangen. Nur daß es #Linux statt Apple ist 😉

Alle PCs, privat und auf der Arbeit: #Debian

Servers und Cloud: Debian

Telefon: #Mobian von @mobian, d.h. — Debian

Router: #OpenWRT (Linux)

Nur meine NotSo#Smartwatch sticht heraus: #SensorWatchPro von @joeycastillo, #OpenHardware mit #FreeSoftware, aber immerhin kein Linux 🙂

PS: Signal ist ein #walledGarden auf AWS. Lieber was föderiertes! Z.B. #Jabber/#XMPP.

As an aficionado of #tango #dance, music, and lyrics, and also a die-hard #Jabber user, I'm happy about this new #XMPP #standard of today:

XEP-0512: XMPP as Interpretive Dance

https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0512.html

I do, however, feel the need for a #protocol #bridge, as the #XEP relies on 4/4, while tango is, as everybody knows, 2/4 (el famoso "dos por cuatro"). Time for #slidge "slango" or "tangidge" maybe?

@thewhalecc

"Unlike other secure messaging solutions, qTox does not require you to be a computer programmer to use it."

Because #Jabber/#XMPP would require a CS master degree? 🤦 Most of my non-techie friends and even the elderly of my family use it without problems.

Anyway, added qTox to my IM chart 🙂

@gajim

Should be in #Debian unstable now, and in #forky #overmorrow.

#Gajim #Jabber #XMPP

@IceWolf @skyweird @gajim

Even with your proposal, a #Jabber client still can just ignore the name in the message and do whatever they want 🤷

I assume, that it depends on the clients DB structure.
Do I have only a simple JID ⇒ nickname table?
Or is it a more complex (JID, datetime) ⇒ nickname table?
Or do I even attach the nickname to every single message?

Changing the #XMPProtocol wouldn't help much.

@jackwilliambell

You might like to take a look into #Movim by @movim, if you are interested in the combination of secure chat, public chats, blogging, A/V calls etc.

I looked at Briar some years ago, because I was interested in packaging it for #Debian. IIRC, the protocol wasn't formally documented, so that people could implement it in the programming language of choice, like it is for #XMPP, Matrix etc. Only a Java reference implementation to copy from. I hope, it's better nowadays.

#Jabber

@testman

Matrix started around the time, when I started using #Jabber/#XMPP ≈ 2014. Jabber was not very good back then. Message loss was common, maybe because "XEP-0198: #StreamManagement" wasn't (correctly) implemented in (mobile) clients.

That's not an issue anymore, but that, together with loads of VC money for their pretty good marketing and a modern looking client ("Riot") gave them a temporary advantage over Jabber.

@Jerry @zash

If @xmpp_providers are using #Debian stable, they have to upgrade #ejabberd to 24.12-3+deb13u2. It has the relevant patch by @holger to ignore the certificate purpose. It's currently in "proposed-updates" (yeah, Debian lingo).

#Jabber #XMPP

As I wanted to contact Matto I've added my #jabber account to my mastodon profile and installed the #cheogram Android client.
Although #deltachat ils a cool idea it doesn't seem to be used by anyone.

We are at Chemnitzer Linux Tage with a stand for #XMPP and #UnifiedPush.
Come find us and talk to us or grab some stickers or Haribo.

Because free software is also about accessibility, I'm doing some important work in Movim to ensure that the user interface can be navigated using the keyboard only. ♥️

This work also involves proper labeling and description of the page elements for people with visual impairments. 💬

This side project is supported by @nlnet. Thanks to them for making Movim an even better communication platform for everyone. ✨

Something @larma and I have been working on during the #IETF125 Hackathon in Shenzhen:

Dino (@dino) and #Conversations_im can now give you a little warning if it's currently the middle of the night for the contact you are chatting with.

#XMPP #Jabber

I recently added a display to #Conversations_im showing the number of stanzas (XMPP packets) sent/received in the current session. What are your counts and how long has your session been active? (Account Details -> 'Server info' in the overflow menu.)

Yesterday, I quickly put together a tutorial on how to replace ntfy.sh with a minimal, self-hosted XMPP server and published it as a GitHub Gist. Then I remembered I have a website and reworked it into two nice little posts:
https://gultsch.de/tags/ntfy.sh/

#ntfy #XMPP #Jabber #Prosody

@debacle @ueckueck @datenpunks @kursif
Ich benutze #Jabber seit 2008. Enfangs mit ejabberd, seit einiger Zeit aber mit prosody, weil man damit eher einen Transport zu zB Whatsapp hinbekommen hat.
Ich habe seit Sommer auch #slidge und bin recht begeistert: WA, Signal, Matrix und Telegram laufen im XMPP mit.

@Tamtam

While #Jabber/#XMPP has not the same #confidentiality as Signal (e.g. more meta data is stored on the server; and current #OMEMO 1 is not as good as, OMEMO 2, which unfortunately is not widely implemented), but it's close enough for me.

The advantages of #federation and #digitalSovereignty outweight those minor problems. YMMV.

@Oldine @Wiebke_Worm

Beides jedoch auch zentrale Lösungen. D.h. man hat hier auch eine Abhängigkeit zu einem Unternehmen / Organisation.

Es gibt auch dezentrale Lösungen, ähnlich wie hier und wie man es von E-Mail kennt.
