¿Sabían que el protocolo XMPP, nacido originalmente bajo el nombre de Jabber en 1998, fue diseñado para romper el aislamiento entre los sistemas de mensajería cerrados de finales del siglo XX?

Jeremie Miller creó esta tecnología basada en XML para permitir que diferentes servidores se comunicaran entre sí de forma abierta, similar al funcionamiento del correo electrónico. Antes de su estandarización, servicios como ICQ, MSN Messenger y AIM funcionaban como islas donde los usuarios no podían enviarse recados si no pertenecían a la misma empresa. XMPP introdujo el concepto de pasarelas, que permitía a un solo cliente conectarse a múltiples redes externas mediante una estructura de red descentralizada donde nadie posee el control total del flujo de la información.

En el año 2004, el Grupo de Trabajo de Ingeniería de Internet (IETF) formalizó este conjunto de reglas como un estándar abierto, lo que permitió su adopción en infraestructuras críticas. Debido a su flexibilidad para gestionar la presencia en línea y el intercambio de datos en tiempo real, empresas como Google y Facebook utilizaron XMPP en sus inicios para cimentar sus plataformas de chat antes de decidir cerrar sus ecosistemas a protocolos propietarios. En la actualidad, este sistema sigue siendo la base de redes de comunicación seguras y aplicaciones que priorizan la autonomía del usuario frente a las grandes corporaciones digitales.

@joinjabber ooh, that is GREAT to hear! Thanks!

Is there a reason that I should be using #Jabber versus other #XMPP clients?

#jabberEl 0.10.5 is now in #Debian unstable!

It's a huge update and does #OMEMO and #OX #encryption.

The inevitable channel about it is here:

Blog post by maintainer @thanosapollo:

It could be the number one #Jabber client for me, as soon as:

- it gets message reactions (planned!)

- incoming A/V calls are signalled like in #profanity

- bugs are solved, that break all send/receive of my main account 😐

@delta @pixelschubsi @adbenitez

I absolutely agree, that "a cross-platform mass-user focused app with a consistent UX across the platforms" is missing desperately in the #Jabber/#XMPP ecosystem.

There are really good clients for Jabber, but none of them fits above description.

AFAIK, both #Snikket/#Borogove by @snikket_im and #Fluux by @ProcessOne try to close that gap.

Still, I prefer the approach of Delta building on #Rust and #Tauri, instead of #Haxe or #Typescript. #YKINMKBYKIOK.

@wuffel

Hab's mal geteilt, auch wenn meine Bubble eher die von #Jabber/#XMPP ist als die von Signal. Aber machne haben ja beides oder nutzen es via Gateway. Bin gespannt, was ob Du was rausfindest.

@phalanx @davidmaddock @lorenzo

There is a tiny trigger in the original post, that is hard to ignore, though: The words "de-bigtech" and Signal together 😉

Signal is (according to themselves) inextricable from AWS and Google. It depends on #bigTech. That shouldn't be an excuse to derail questions, but it needs self-discipline 🙂

That being said, #Jabber/#XMPP might be a solution for the Signal desktop use case, with a (self-hosted?) #slidge gateway. Probably not easy.

I’m delighted to announce that the OpenPGP implementation in #Conversations_im will see some love over the next ~6 months. Simultaneously, we will be laying the groundwork for OMEMO2 by implementing Stanza Content Encryption.

Thanks to funding from @nlnet and the European Commission.

ATM, #Snikket iOS is a branded #SiskinIM, right?
So @snikket_im are going to write their own iOS #Jabber client? Huge task!

cc @tigase @Monal

Anyone out there that can recommend a good #XMPP / #Jabber client for #iOS that supports multiple accounts and is not Monal?

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.

Since my new XMPP upload server implementation "Rusty Filer" has been working great on trashserver.net since two weeks, I present to you:

The first release of Rusty Filer! https://codeberg.org/thomas.leister/rusty-filer/releases/tag/v1.0.0 🥳

It has the same features as Prosody Filer, but it also available as a deb package and via a apt repository (for simple deployment and automatic updates!).

If you run into any issues using this server, let me know in the Codeberg issues.

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:

#Quicksy is getting an unusually high amount of registrations from Russia and the US. I wonder if these two countries have something in common.
