I originally got the PO box as an easy way of having the post office hold large/expensive items for me vs. having them left in my front yard for someone to walk by and grab. Don't need a big box to be able to receive big items. So with that in mind, it basically pays for itself. And I get an auxiliary mailing address that's not where I live.
-
rob
Yes that's a good use for sure
-
rob
Here we can use the local post office as an alternative address for free, at least during the holidays
-
rob
Yep, all the time https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/personal/receiving/alternative-delivery/flexdelivery.page?

Just for packages

oh :(

OMEMO for Jabber ist unlikely to implement: https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/ideas/WXCUST-I-67

it’s not that I haven’t tried ;)

Maybe it just needs more votes

rob, thx, but I’m unsure about Ciscos intentions about Jabber… some years ago it looked they wanted to abandon the product, but in the meantime it got slightly better again… and lately I also told our AM that Cisco is way behind with Jabber and support of modern XEPs
-
Ellenor Malik
they don't federate well

Ellenor Malik
I'm moving from the songful one to the big blue E. Do I thus have to consider graduating from an invitational server to a public server, since I don't think being invitational is an option on ej?
-
Holger
There's no invitation support yet, that's true.
-
Ellenor Malik
Aight.
-
Ellenor Malik
So, graduate to a public server it is. Or hide register_web behind a password.
-
Holger
TBH for my own family & friends server I just create a user with `ejabberdctl`, hand over credentials and tell the user (how) to change their password.
-
Holger
But yes that doesn't scale beyond family & a few friends.
-
rozzin
Ellenor Malik: there are ways of doing invitations for ejabberd using extauth; I have my ejabberd authenticate against GNU social, for example.
-
ij
Friendica & Mastodon here for extauth… and some LDAP based domains
-
ij
but I don’t think that’s the same link invitations
-
Ellenor Malik
ah

Holger
You have too many friends 🙂
-
Ellenor Malik
Not at all

ij
Ellenor Malik, do you plan to also offer other services beside XMPP? If so, LDAP as user backend might be a consideration worth… it’s easier to have LDAP right from the start than migrating at a later time. 50 users seems like a reasonable size where LDAP might make sense
-
Ellenor Malik
ij: I already run other services; however, they're currently not connected to the Jabber user database.
-
Ellenor Malik
I may be in a situation where I do have to migrate to LDAP, which will be a bear.
-
ij
yeah, I know… I’m in the same situation currently… ;)
-
ij
there are some LDAP solutions where you can have self registration of users…
-
Ellenor Malik
ah

My users auth against a phpBB-userbase, roster is automaticily filled with forum-members and therefor nobody ask "where are all the contacts?" Maybe you are able to auth against one of your other services.
-
rozzin
ernst.on.tour: hmm..., how do you do the autofilling of the roster?
-
Ellenor Malik
ernst.on.tour: I have a Dokuwiki but it's not the most extensive userdb
-
ernst.on.tour
I'm using prosody and there is a mod_groups. Each member is member of the group "users" and could see the other users
-
ernst.on.tour
mod_groups need a text-file like [users] Member1@foo.bar Member2@foo.bar : Memberlist is exported out of phpBB-userdb

Ellenor Malik
I need to unify my user databases. ✏
-
rob
Ya I'd like to do that one day. Just for email and xmpp
-
ernst.on.tour
> I need to unify my user databases. Okay, as central userdb you could use LDAP ... or a little textfile with user<->sha1(password) 😉
-
rob
LDAP sounds hard, but I have no experience with it so maybe it's not
-
ernst.on.tour
You need an additional service/server, some configuration, and a lot of time 😉
-
rob
Haha oh, so easy enough
-
rozzin
I'd really like to autopopulate *avatars* from my GNU social....
-
ernst.on.tour
Maybe you will find an old W2k-Install-DVD, there are a lot of keygens for it. Just insert, boot up, install, promote to DC [Next], [Next], [Next]... Finish But you will need an additional (v)Server Never setup ldap on linux, only Novell & MS, sorry
-
ernst.on.tour
> I'd really like to autopopulate *avatars* from my GNU social.... You mean take the avatars out from phpBB and use it in xmpp ? Is done with some own modification in mod_groups on my environment.
