@clacke Yes. That isn't only true of #Discord, by the way. I used to see projects nearly devoid of documentation, but they'd push you to #IRC. And same for #Matrix or #XMPP MUCs.

I use IRC, but if I need info (a config setting, the setup process, etc) some questions recur and should be documented so they don't clog up the channel. Others occur so rarely that only one or two people know a fix. Those especially need to go into the documentation. Not just because of "truck factor", but because even those people can forget if there is a long enough time between the question recurring.

I did a #Mumble voice chat this evening with @a@pl.nulled.red. However, the connection here is exceptionally slow, so my client's connection kept timing out every few minutes. This happened on two different servers. Finally, we ended the voicechat.

Afterwards, I did a test connection to the #Federati #Murmur / Mumble server. It disconnected once over a ten minute test.

So if I do another #Office_Hours voicechat soon, understand that my connection may be interrupted.

Anyway, I got some great ideas. A has been trying to document #ActivityPub itself (S2S and C2S designs), various implementations (including the Mastodon API that is often used instead of AP_C2S), as well as other #federated communication protocols such as #Matrix and #XMPP. They suggested that "a better Matrix" might be able to be built atop AP.

I used to watch their game streams years ago, but the voice sounded different over Mumble. I'm told that getting a better microphone made the difference.

  This evening I pushed a #Prosody community module that acts as a #UnifiedPush server. It allows apps on your phone to receive push notifications, using #XMPP as the delivery channel instead of Google's proprietary FCM or regular polling. It uses a protocol devised and implemented by @daniel@gultsch.social and all credit goes to him for this idea and first implementations. It's all experimental stuff, but I'm already using it to get realtime notifications in #Fedilab 🙂 https://modules.prosody.im/mod_unified_push

Hi everyone, this weekend we are planning a major migration to new server software. On Saturday January 14 and Sunday January 15 the jabber.org service might be unavailable for extended periods of time. You can view the live server status at https://status.jabber.org/ and we might also post to https://twitter.com/jabberdotorg and https://floss.social/@jabberdotorg

The #Matrix main organizations ( Vector Ltd / Element / Matrix Foundation ) are experiencing some financial issues and have laid off some employees. The blog post is at https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2022/ [matrix org]

They note that they provide everything under permissive licenses and then wonder why giant corporations adopt their technology without giving anything back.

Well, that is something that MongoDB and some other no-SQL databases have had to deal with. Their userbase insists on permissive licenses, then the largest and most profitable users refuse to support the organizations that pay the developers. In many cases, the result is some custom non-free license (generally masquerading as “open source” but neither free software nor open source software) meant to extract money out of users who make money using the product.

Personally, I’d rather see #GPLv3 / #AGPLv3 without a “buy a commercial license to avoid responsibilities” plan going into widespread use, but that’s sure to greatly reduce revenues. It probably means paid support is the main funding model.

But anyway, I think that Matrix has done really well for something that is inherently inferior to #XMPP, but has a pretty face and good marketing team.

So this is my first impressions about #volla #VollaPhone22 .
I bought it with #ubports preinstalled and i already know in advance that i would not have a "perfect" out of the box experience.

In fact the most annoying thing i encountered so far is that the phone lose the wifi some times during the day and happened also that it forget the password.
I also noticed, despite it's a new hardware, a diffused laggy here and there.
I'm pretty confident these 2 issues will get soon resolved by upcoming updates. They are small and can tolerate them.

Instead i encountered 4 other issues i can't blame volla for that, but more ubports:
- a missing carddav sync for contacts (there is just google sync 🤮 or vcf upload)
-issues with sync the caldav data (the same caldav site - my vps - works smoothly on android so it should work also here?).
- a missing #xmpp app. I'm trying to set up profanity into a libertine container but it's not as comfy as blabber/conversation on android. I would consider #waydroid as last resort, i'm not sure it is currently supported the phone?
- can't record video, well it records and save them but then it can't open to show?

For the pro sides, well...
- no more android/google BS, even sanitized by LOS and similar
- i saw a lot of improvements in ubports compared to my previous experience on nexus5, morph browser in particular seems better and can browser smoothly.
- no more google BS
- the quality of the screen and phone seems good, display is nice and battery seems longlasting
- no more google BS
- so far i found all the apps i need in the store (except xmpp)
-no more google BS
-replaceable battery! 😎

In conclusion, soon there should also happens the 20.04 upgrade so i'm pretty sureall things can be even better and smoother.
Once i fix the xmpp issue i will start to use it as my daily driver.
I would not recommend though to a newbie (i'm not a pro either but i can understand and search solutions).
I think also it's a bit pricey but you also have a replaceable battery which is very rare these days. It's the price for privacy and freedom 😁

1. Modernizing XMPP authentication and authorization
  
  We’re excited to announce that we have received funding, from the EU’s NGI Assure via the NLnet Foundation, to work on some important enhancements to Prosody and XMPP. Our work will be focusing on XMPP authentication and authorization, and bringing it up to date with current and emerging best practices. What kind of changes are we talking about? Well, there are a few aspects we are planning to work on.

@lxo I have an #XMPP account, but most of my contacts either don't have accounts or don't log in very often, so it does not get used as often as I would like.

  ⚠️ Information for Prosody operators: There has been an OpenSSL security advisory published, which likely affects Prosody and other services you may run - allowing an attacker to trigger an infinite loop in OpenSSL (and any application using it, such as Prosody), causing it to stop responding and use a lot of CPU. Keep an eye open for OpenSSL updates from your OS distribution. There is no Prosody upgrade needed. Original advisory here: https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20220315.txt

What do you hope for from your favorite decentralized network in 2022?

He asks in the context of #safenetwork (the product that #maidsafe has been working on for years), but it is a good question to ask about #GNUsocial, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Zap, #Diaspora, #Matrix, #XMPP, and more.

@aab Good to see that @gijs is getting connected. I used to add people I had seen in the #IRC channel (and the connected #XMPP MUC) as contacts, to help extend the network. I should probably get back to that.

(It helps if I spell people's usernames correctly.)

A #VPN provider that I used shut down without much notice (in fact, the only way I found out was that I visited their site months later, trying to figure out why I hadn't been able to connect).

The #hotel I was using had a local provider that blocked #Fediverse instances (including Mastodon.Social), #Diaspora, #XMPP, #IRC, and a certain mail provider that I still use. They did not block: #Facebook, #Twitter, #GMail, or Outlook / #Hotmail

Because I couldn't connect to the VPN, I discovered how many perfectly normal sites were blocked because they weren't on the top 100 list. I went downstairs and informed the front desk that I would be leaving their establishment because of their blocking.

I received a phone call from their networking vendor, who logged into their router and proxy and turned off filtering on a list of about 25 sites they'd blocked.

But the point is, the hotel and its provider cannot be trusted not to fsck with your data. Always use a VPN.

This report makes it clear that it is now time for all projects to move off #Freenode #IRC. https://www.devever.net/~hl/freenode_abuse

You can move to #LiberaChat, to #OFTC, to #Rizon, etc. Or use #Matrix or an #XMPP MUC instead of IRC. Just don't "wait and see" and be surprised when your channel is targeted.
