XMPP Service Operators - 2021-09-05

Great, thanks Харпер

Got it working!

Christopher M0YNG: care to explain use case?

I already have xmpp server and client set up, now I can seamlessly connect to irc via blabber on my phone and laptop without needing more software It's probably not NEEDED...

Oh, ok, plain gateway to IRC

Biboumi can bridge a MUC to an IRC channel?

Yes. Although it's a dedicated muc to the irc channel

Yes, I might want to setup one of those :)

I'll write it up later ...

Thanks

here you go: https://m0yng.uk/2021/09/Talking-IRC-via-XMPP/ (also available via gemini and gopher and tor...)

Christopher M0YNG: umm yes and no, already have a connection via jabberfr, but...

> Biboumi can bridge a MUC to an IRC channel? ...means something else Join `xmpp:muc@conference.xmpp.server?join` and inside see `ircchannel@irc.server`

Christopher M0YNG: like https://www.isode.com/whitepapers/interconnecting-xmpp-and-irc.html but foss, like https://github.com/moparisthebest/xmpp-ircd moparisthebest: you had some good reason to maintain this I guess?

rozzin is maintaining it now, I kinda gave up because python, it doesn't do bridging either though, just exposes a muc server as an IRC server

I think biboumi can do bridging like you want though (expose an IRC server as a MUC server)

So there's a solution? Matrix is eating up this usecase and I'm not going down without a fight :)

Biboumi....maybe...I read the docs and nothing...I'll read again daaamit

> I think biboumi can do bridging like you want though (expose an IRC server as a MUC server) Yes, and see also https://git.singpolyma.net/cheogram-muc-bridge

irc.cheogram.com is a public Biboumi service if you want to just try it and see how it works.

Licaon_Kter: https://doc.biboumi.louiz.org/9.0/admin.html#fixed-irc-server

Christopher M0YNG, most XMPP clients don’t use /commands, and especially not /msg to mean “open a private chat with someone whose JID is <first argument>@the-current-muc-domain”.

Licaon_Kter: cheogram-muc-bridge + biboumi = the "like isode but foss" thing that you're looking for.

Thanks, will read

Link Mauve: good point, I hadn't tested it just assumed. Will update.

Post updated

I'll admit to assuming it would work and not testing it that way!

Nice idea opening a chat instead of the / commands. I had to use adhoc commands before for that purpose but that is more convenient.

Nevertheless I suppose to do it each time the connection resets...

alberto, indeed, while using the ad-hoc command to set SASL credentials will work automatically every time, and not possibly leak your password to someone else than the bot intended.

(IRC is such a mess…)

Yep 😔
