XMPP Service Operators - 2020-10-11

tom: Regarding Biboumi, if you are connecting to Freenode, add "irc.freenode.net@irc.biboumi.tld" as contact. Then via Gajim, execute command on that contact and set IRC network related values. In the "commands to execute" field, put `NickServ IDENTIFY your-password`.

It will be executed automatically upon connect.

raghavgururajan: "The biggest issue with this method is that you need to first be connected and logged (nick and username selected) to the server before you can start this authentication method, and this often creates a race condition if you need to be authenticated before joining a channel." according to the biboumi docs

The SASL method, configured with the ad-hoc `configure` command, is more reliable

(Use `configure` to set nickname and sasl password) ✏

neox: I see.

I use the webirc command, appropriately hacked, on my IRC server with my Biboumi.

Biboumi and Bitlbee are both amazing projects.

Hey people. Looking for a place to host an xmpp service for a domain. Any suggestions?

running it yourself or paid xmpp hosting?

conversations.im?

I was about to type that :)

bazurk: a 3€/VPS and hosting it yourself?🤔

My knowledge on self hosting it is pretty rudimentary.

But thank you

bazurk: https://uncensoredhosting.com has some good lists. Specifically, I like https://flokinet.is

Thank you kindly

When configuring a TXT record for bosh, cPanel has Name and Record. What should I put?

Also, after editing the config file, is there any service I need to restart or anything?

thndrbvr: wait, what TXT for bosh? Which config file? Service?

DNS records. Metronome lua config

Not that I know any implementation using TXT records for service discovery tbh

Maranda, Gajim and Pidgin do.
