    pep.: nice design, but at migrate.modernxmpp.org runs in your browser, right MattJ? So _"Please be aware that it currently requires your user-credentials to function, so giving those to an external service might be problematic for you."_ is FUD

    I don't really know what to do about that. Yes, I made it safe, but no, I don't want to train users that it's okay to enter your XMPP credentials in any random web form

  216. MattJ

    But it's just an in-browser XMPP client. It's no different to signing into Converse.js, xmpp-web or any other JS web client

  217. Licaon_Kter

    Yes, MattJ I was thinking about that. Not sure how to train/explain that sometimes it can be safe but most of times it's not Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

  218. pep.

    Yeah. Also why I wouldn't want to propose a web client with account login

  219. pep.

    But, but..

  220. Ramiro Romani has left

  221. MattJ

    Okay, so you would also warn users away from web clients, I was going to asj

  222. MattJ

    Okay, so you would also warn users away from web clients, I was going to ask

  223. pep.

    I mean I wouldn't want to personally host that

  224. MattJ

    Because?

  225. pep.

    I don't know. Many people use web clients and are happy with them. Look at Mastodon..

  226. MattJ

    It's a HTML file. Would it be better if people downloaded it and ran it from file://?

  227. pep.

    Even though really here you're using the client of the service hosting you

  228. pep.

    MattJ, for security purposes, definitly. For convenience no that would be terrible :P

  229. MattJ

    (I don't think that actually works in modern browsers though)

  230. MattJ

    Why is it better for security purposes? πŸ™‚

  231. pep.

    hmm, you're right it may not be. It's the same issue.

  232. MattJ

    Whether you load the code from the server or from your disk, it is the same code, right

  233. pep.

    Though.. you may only have to check the file once

  234. pep.

    Whether when it's served to you it can be different every single time

  235. MattJ

    Okay, tell the users to check the source before they use it. And every app they install πŸ™‚

  236. MattJ

    Sorry, I don't have good answers

  237. pep.

    I don't either

  238. MattJ

    And neither does anyone, really

  239. MattJ

    Signed web apps would be nice

  240. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    except the browser is completely controlled by the developer and has an always on internet connection

  241. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    compared to local apps which dont have to have an internet connection and you can customize/override behavior

  242. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    also at least you have the option to check the source locally. Thats why non-browser stuff should be reccomended most of the time

  243. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    i wish we had migration built into the clients

  244. pep.

    It's like one could also host Movim locally :-Β°

  245. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    yeah which would be better than in a remote data center

  246. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    but not sure if its doable

  247. MattJ

    Running Movim locally is absolutely doable

  248. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    with docker whatever yeah

  249. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    without it Im not sure if any person that starts to self host would be able to do it

  250. pep.

    Anyway, re the original sentence on the website, I think I'd want to make the user aware that they're giving away credentials and that there's no good way to make sure it's safe. But no clue how to do that without sounding alarmist of not scaring away many of them or the opposite, encouraging them to do so..

  251. papatutuwawa has left

  252. MattJ

    Well, do you want them to use it or not? πŸ™‚

  253. papatutuwawa has joined

  254. MattJ

    I don't think having a thing saying it's there but don't use it is really going to achieve anything other than confusion

  255. pep.

    Sure, but why would they trust me when I tell them "this one is ok" "this one isn't", and what if I'm wrong

  256. MattJ

    "Trust no-one"

  257. Licaon_Kter

    Wait so what about, hold on, _Migrate the Electron App_? Only 144Mb /jk

  258. Licaon_Kter

    Wait so what about, hold on, _Migrate - the Electron App_? Only 144Mb /jk

  259. pep.

    MattJ, which I know isn't also the best answer. Users be even more confused.

  260. MattJ

    Even with a hypothetical Electron app, it changes practically nothing from a security perspectice

  261. MattJ

    Even with a hypothetical Electron app, it changes practically nothing from a security perspective

  262. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    yeah

  263. PeterW has joined

  264. MattJ

    I don't have an opinion on whether you should link to it. I wrote it as a prototype, and last resort for people who don't have any other way to get/migrate their data. I hope it serves the needs of people who require it. I know it's secure, but I don't know any magical way to prove that to users, so... it just is what it is πŸ™‚

  265. PeterW has left

  266. MattJ

    If someone wants to wrap it in Electron, Tauri, or similar... go ahead. And/or pester client devs to implement the same thing into clients directly.

  267. pep.

    Best would be for operators themselves to host it

  268. MattJ

    I guess, yes

  269. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    agreed

  270. MattJ

    Thankfully it couldn't be easier to do πŸ™‚

  271. pep.

    (I don't understand ^)

  272. MattJ

    I mean that it is extremely easy to do

  273. MattJ

    So there are no barriers to operators hosting it

  274. pep.

    Yeah no, apart from them actually hosting it
