hi guys i wonder if you could help me?

Maybe, ask the question

Whatever happened to "don't ask to ask"?

xampp gives me this [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? any idea how to fix it?

Lol xampp is a name I haven't heard in.. a decade and a half?

But it's not XMPP so you'll have to go elsewhere sorry

Hi all, I want to try an experiment next week for the XMPP office hours: a co-working hour where folks can hang out, hack on projects, and get help with XMPP related things (like this chat room, but with video!) If anyone is interested in joining, I'm experimenting with a new time too, so if you'd like to join, here's the info! https://opencollective.com/xmpp-office-hours-virtual-co-working-hour-791e55a7

Much more convenient time for me :)

Interesting idea. Don't know if I'll make it, but it sounds good.

Thanks Sam.

(oh yes, as Matt pointed out this is not the regular time, just FYI)

As on other MUC.is discussed, im.thinking is it really.not better encryption of the streams?

I'm not sure what you mean

Well i send the link https://infosec-handbook.eu/articles/xmpp-aitm/#tldr ✏

Ugh, that FUD again

Long story short, XMPP is one of the better protocols that require a server, and everything mentioned there equally applies to all others, including signal, WhatsApp, matrix etc

Additionally the silos like Signal and WhatsApp are worse because 1 entity has the full social graph of everyone, where as 1 XMPP server can only map out the social graph of users it hosts, and those users can move

Basically that article was written in bad faith and should be ignored

(also it was written like 7 years ago and they recently changed the updated date and started spreading it around again because they are scumbags)

This article mentions the GDPR, so if it was written 7 years ago it was updated aswell

It certainly is misleading though... wierd article

Big surprise: server admins have full control of the software running on their server.
