XMPP Service Operators - 2019-09-05

does anyone maintain a list of known XMPP transport software?

software which can be deployed, or services which run that software?

software that can be deployed, like spectrum, biboumi, etc. I'm just curious what else is out there to add additional features to my xmpp instance.

If you're running Prosody, there are a couple of hundred community modules that do various things: https://modules.prosody.im/

Though not all of them are recommended for production, some are just a bit of fun, or interesting experiments :)

But things like https://modules.prosody.im/mod_muc_badge.html are useful

but biboumi is more useful :^)

We couldn't live without biboumi :)

who uses MUC badges, anyway?

I know in the past there were transports for email, weather information, etc. But that was a long time ago.

Ge0rG, MUC badges are useful for feature parity, because the other chat systems have them as well

But CSP...

jonas’: pics?

What pics? Muc avatar? jonas’ doesn't want to risk to be sued due to copyright infringement.

Martin: oh ffs...I wanted to know WHAT does the badge say..it says "number of users in the room"

Martin, CSP?

jonas’: content security policy

I know that

what’s the problem?

who you callin a mucbadge?

what, I can get realtime weather via XMPP? where?

I want to do that

I implemented that type of stuff; actually, I have a thing next to the flat door which shows weather and stuff via XMPP.

it’s all "proprietary" though

(the code is open, but not well documented and I’m using a custom IQ-based protocol for that)

jonas’, do you run your own station or are you just polling from weather.gov?

tom, querying from api.met.no, with some caching

but I also have some sensors’n’stuff, whihc are also collected via XMPP

I’m not sure this is the right place to discuss that kind of stuff tho

tom: there used to be something to do it a long while ago, but I can't remember what it was. that was back when I used jabber2 I think.

jabber2?

jonas’, did you do it over a pubsub node? if so wouldn't the only 'caching' needing to be done is the node service configuration? Was server load too high or something?

I'm assuming you published to a node with your script and then your XMPP server handled distributing it all to any node subscribers?

no, I did not

oh

tom, let’s move this to jdev@

sure

tom: jabberd2

phone keeps correcting things today in annoying ways 😕
