    Sam: inotify-watch on the cert?

  2. Sam

    moparisthebest: that's what I ended up doing, more or less

  3. Sam

    We'll see in a month or so if it's working or not.

  4. moparisthebest

    But yea that sounds like a house of cards, acme.sh for me

  5. Sam

    That would require doing more work for a server that I don't want to be running in the first place except the hosted XMPP solutions either don't work if you also have a website at the domain or I can't afford them right now.

  6. Sam

    So meh, a for loop waiting on the cert to change will have to do.

  7. Sam

    Although I'll probably kill it and just restart prosody periodically on a cron job; I don't know why I didn't consider just turning the frequency up as someone pointed out earliler

    Sam: if you're using systemd, you can set up a service to be activated by inotify: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.path.html

  11. Sam

    I'm not using systemd

    My cert issue above...missing pubsub in DNS, that was a ruse. Late at night I got notified that server is unreachable by Conversations...but it was ok on LAN. Odd, took at look and...boom...ISP changed my IP, anyway hurry up to update DNS, routing, daemon configs, done.....all fine.... Server unreachable again just as I finished, wtf... Check again...works on LAN, wtf... check IP again...oh...I got old IP back :facepalm:

  13. Martin

    That's why I don't want to run a server at home.

  14. Martin

    But why don't you use dyndns?

  15. Licaon_Kter

    Because it rarely changes, this would of been the second time in the last 5 years.

  16. Martin

    Ok, here it used to change on every reconnect which was daily for a long time. Didn't check whether it's still changing on every reconnect but at least the forced nightly reconnect is gone.

    Heads-up https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20210824.txt

  19. moparisthebest

    leave it to OpenSSL to pick "both" when asked "length-prefixed or null-terminated strings?"

  20. MattJ

    :)

  21. jonas’

    that's not a heads-up anymore, fixes are already in the distros.

  22. Licaon_Kter

    Then uppppdate :)

  23. Martin

    I've done that yesterday already. 😃

  24. Sam

    Does anyone have a spectrum 2 implementation running that I can connect to to test an ad-hoc commands implementation? I was told that Gajim may have issues with Spectrum 2 (though not what kind) and I wanted to test my implementation as well but can't find a public one that I can use.

  25. jonas’

    I dropped spectrum2 when I found biboumi, sorry.

  26. Licaon_Kter

    Just did ad-hoc to biboumi via Converse today, yay
