#Paderborn hat nun eine #xmpp-community. Hier ein Link zur Community mit einer Auswahl an Clients: https://xmpp.link/#kreispaderborn@conference.conversations.im%3Fjoin

@carostar Wenn du selber hosten magst, dann ist #XMPP mit #Slidge gateways https://slidge.im eine gute Lösung.

@janujcic https://movim.eu works quite well and is really pushing to become a viable Discord alternative lately. #xmpp #movim #jabber

Nuestra sala de chat comunitaria en el protocolo abierto XMPP se mantiene activa y con las puertas abiertas para recibir a toda la audiencia. Los invitamos a sumarse a este canal directo de comunicación descentralizada, un punto de encuentro libre donde platicamos cara a cara con las personas que realizan las transmisiones en vivo, comentamos nuestras vivencias del día a día, compartimos imágenes, memes y mantenemos viva la convivencia de forma totalmente autónoma. Pueden ingresar desde cualquier aplicación o cliente de mensajería federada agregando la dirección @chat-mdt-radio-mx@salas.suchat.org. ¡Los esperamos para integrarse a las charlas y fortalecer este espacio común!

Movim 0.34.1 is out, and it's a security-focused one! 🔐

Over the past few weeks we received several reports about potential vulnerabilities. We reviewed all of them and took the opportunity to harden a few things: SSRF protection, cookies proper validation, a XSS issue in Space invitations has been patched and a few other things.

Nothing critical, but important enough to update as soon as possible 😸

A few call-related bugs were also fixed along the way 📞

Checkout the complete Release Note to have all the details: https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/movim-0-31-4-is-out-stay-safe-and-upgrade-cwblXR

Stay safe out there, and don't forget to upgrade! ✌️

We updated on movim.slrpnk.net but it is still using the old container setup which is problematic with images. Hopefully we will find the time to redo that soon as well.

@bazkie Possibly, the #XMPP could be used first — e.g. the #Prosody installation and configuration could be dead simple and it supports all necessary encryption out of the box.

As practice shows, the authoritarian governments usually one step behind the tech, the society is using. So, first time the simple solution, like Prosody on the server out of reach of Five eyes countries, bought for crypto and without logins logging, will be enough I think.

When the next generation of politics will learn about XMPP — well it's time to deeper and mass use mesh networks. As I heard, there are big communities of #Meshtastic in the Europe, especially in Germany.

Look at this as an endless battle between sword and shield.

Does anyone know how #Movim handles profile picture? Are them public or contacts only? I couldn't find a way to set profile picture visibility.

Am nächsten Sonntag (05.07.) ist es schon wieder so weit, es ist Digitaler Unabhängigkeitstag!

Und da die Temperaturen, wahrscheinlich so sind, dass wir uns auch draußen aufhalten können, verschieben wir unseren Juli-DID in den Alaunpark (15–19 Uhr).

Falls ihr eine Orga seid oder kennt, die sich in irgendeiner Form antifaschistisch betätigt, solltet ihr unbedingt vorbeischauen. Zeit, den Schritt ins Fediverse zu wagen!

Wir helfen euch beim Einrichten von Accounts und stehen für Fragen zur Verfügung. Außerdem wollen wir euch auch die Vorzüge von verschlüsselten, dezentralen Messengern (wie Matrix oder XMPP ) aufzeigen, damit niemand eure Nachrichten mitlesen und niemand den Stecker des zentralen Servers ziehen kann…

Unterstützt werden wir wieder u. a. von @azubisgegenrechts @datenpunks @npug @piratensachsen @piranhas @piranhas@piraten-partei.social

I’m going to be at #FOSSY in Vancouver in August to talk about #UnifiedPush!

There is also a full 2-day track dedicated to #XMPP.

Starting the week with a good deed — to myself!

Liked to have the latest #jabberEl 0.11.1 on #Debian 13 #trixie stable, so I uploaded it to #backports.

Should be installable in a few hours:

$ sudo apt install -t trixie-backports elpa-jabber

At this point, using #Jabber/#XMPP or other free and federated IMs is the second best thing we can do against #ChatControl in the #EU. The best is to write to our #MEPs before Wednesday. Do both!

@carostar

Ich nutze #Jabber/#XMPP mit gateways zu IRC, Matrix und SMS. Gateways zu geschlossenen Systemen (Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram) wären möglich, will ich aber nicht 😉

IRC gateway (#Biboumi) nutze ich von #Movim, aber die Matrix- und SMS-Gateways hoste ich nur mich selbst, obwohl's zumindest das Gateway für Matrix auch schon bei Movim gibt. Historisch gewachsen 🤷

Als Clients nutze ich #Gajim, #Dino und neuerdings auch #jabberEl in #Emacs.

There is brand new #freeSoftware written in #TclTk (!): #Tacky, a #Jabber/#XMPP client for #Linux and Windows with support for modern A/V calls and #OMEMO #e2ee. Pre-alpha now.

https://github.com/pounceandmiss/tacky

It's a #blastFromThePast, as I used to play a lot with Tcl/Tk in the mid-1990s. Can't remember much of it, though.

@moniquebarrow_

It's a pity, that the probably most promising "Discord killer" is not even mentioned on the "AlternativeTo" page: #Movim by @movim 🤷

https://piaille.fr/@movim/116767255470350702

It's federated, it' s based on #openStandards, it's #freeSoftware, it's not VC backed.

For #digitalResilience and #privacy, it is a good idea to have the servers direct TLS port for c2c configured to 443/tcp, not the more common 5223. Some well-known servers do that, e.g. #Conversations.

The traditional STARTTLS port for c2c, 5222, should be kept for compatibility with older clients. And because of #nostalgia.

No idea, if that actually would help you, though.

#Jabber #XMPP

I've warned my normie friends that I'm fed up with FB Messenger and WhatsApp and that I'm going to self-host an alternative and if they want to keep in touch with me, they have to contact me there... Now I'm left wondering what's more lightweight for my modest budget VPS between #Matrix and #XMPP (probably the latter?) and what might favor a smooth transition later to an #OpenBSD VPS (might switch from Hostinger to OpenBSD Amsterdam, though both seem to rely to some degree on bloody Cloudflare)... probably XMPP?

It is my setup :)
