XMPP Service Operators - 2019-07-21

greetings all, can any xmpp oper join this muc? or do I have to be an official xmpp oper with xmpp.org

what's your site aj ?

tom: lecturify.com

you are welcome to hang out there if you wish, we're trying to build a community chat room for an online english class

doesn't appear to be publicly accessable

this chat is for anyone who operates an XMPP server

cool

tom: can you try joining again

#lecturify@chat.lecturify.com

that is the biggest muc on our site

is not a group chat server

group chat does not exist

weird, i'm on it right now as are 20 other people

what xmpp client are you using?

Gajim

my friend signed in using gajim, so it should work.

perhaps it's only innaccesable from other jabber servers

that's ok though

just thought you should know

it should be accessible to other jabber servers because I have a friend who is currently logged in from xmpp.jp

i didn't do anything to block federation

let me take a look

1 second

hmm

thanks for the feedback, could it be i am lacking disco or some other module

hmm odd I do have disco enabled

hmm apart from those logs I don't see any other issues, if you find anything please do let me know

the logs I see on prosody say you connected and all was well

Still unable to make any progress getting onto the biboumi MUC

Have you reported it on that gitlab instance?

Yes, absolutely

okay

I need a workaround, not a waitaround

really? https://lab.louiz.org/louiz/infra/issues/

Ah, you reported in biboumi :p

ok he'll see it anyway

I can't do much more for you. louiz is not replying anyway and he's the author of biboumi as well

I just need some knowledgeable people. I want to find out if it's possible to configure server parameters before trying to connect

I'm happy to try and answer biboumi questions here, most folks in that channel also live here and in other channels you're joined anyway

Yes, I think we told you about ad-hoc yesterday

pep., A

Yes, but I can't see how to configure BEFORE attempting a connection. Nothing I've tried so far works for that. Once it's been attempted, it's possible

https://doc.biboumi.louiz.org/user.html#on-a-server-jid

Yes you can

Er, how? gajim "denies knowledge" of what I'm trying to do

(biboumi could be the one denying the knowledge, I guess)

Ah, getting somewhere...

hmm, I'm wondering if gajim wants you to have the UI to be able to show the ad-hoc command

In poezio you can do /adhoc foobar

without having any relation with foobar

Not th'issue

Then I don'T understand

Right, this is looking good. The problem I wanted to get around with biboumi is fixed... still three more IRC networks to migrate to it but all going quite well now

Hi

hopefully not a silly question, but does anyone know if there's a transport for XMPP to Matrix? The only thing I knew of was maybe using purple-matrix with spectrum, but didn't know if something else existed.

Allie, there was https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost but they discontinued it as soon as they decided to spend their money somewhere else.

It still has some well-known bugs, for instance you won’t be able to leave a Matrix room, ever.

Link Mauve: oh well... you'd think two open protocols would have some pretty robust transports between the two. I guess it all depends on how much interest there is in it, though.

oh god matrix?

Allie, correct.

can we replace the tires on our card with octogins while we are at it?

*cars

Can we replace the tires on our cars with octogons while we are at it?

tom: lol just trying to cover all the bases with a single XMPP server :)

I've played with it a little bit in the past, using Riot and such. I tried setting up a server once and it was a nightmare. I'm not sure if it's gotten any better.

I also kinda hate how it makes it look like Freenode has 9187419824719287 users all the time
