jdev - 2021-09-28

edhelas, there's actually a PR that adds some sort of roster support (as part of ... Jingle File Transfer) https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost/pull/288

their bridging library is in JS ? fun :D

I thought it was TypeScript

same

🤷️

in the meantime we don't have active transport development for XMPP

Spectrum2 is kinda stopped

Why would you use something other than XMPP?!

I thought we all achieved enlightenment and realized that bridges are terrible 🙂

But then they somehow got popular again

because some smart guys though that they should try out XKCD-0927 IRL

https://git.eta.st/eta/whatsxmpp

hello

> we don't have active transport development false. hello eta 🙂

I mean for some values of "active" :p

it's at least newer than spectrum2

and I dare say far saner

There's also matterbridge, and you _could_ count Bifröst to XMPP transports...

also biboumi

It was just claimed to not be in the set of actively developed transports?

Hm, commits from this year. Release from last year. Not super active but not dead then.

not great, not terrible

Oh, mustn't forget Biboumi, the one transport I actually run myself

Biboumi is not a transport, Biboumi is the transport

transbridgeway

I missed a few combined emojis in Movim :D

(that's a transgender flag)

yeah i know :D

it's fine, so did the github developers (see the status of https://github.com/eeeeeta)

added in 13.0, aint supporting that one yet

damn actually I have to update

edhelas, Zash: You'd address an individual Matrix user via the Bifröst instance on matrix.org like this: user_example.com@matrix.org

oh really ?

edhelas, Zash: No support for presence subscription but other than that, the address can of course be added to your roster just fine.

you saved my day Holger

edhelas: Feels a bit like mobile XMPP 10 years ago tho. Some stanzas arrive, some don't.

Talking to actual Matrix rooms seems to be more reliable for some reason (not just my impression).

And some stanzas, they arrive 100x over

a nice way to benchmark our XMPP clients

and XMPP clients backends, such as ejabberd

"backends"

Is a server called an "API backend" now?

next step is "serverless"

who keeps coming up with these new buzzwords for "someone else's computer" ? but I digress...

> serverless 😱

XMPP servers roles was always to pass meme stanzas between clients

always has been
