XMPP Service Operators - 2022-05-26

is s2s bidi commonly deployed? XEP-0288: Bidirectional Server-to-Server Connections

smooth_operator: only after the release of prosody 0.12

i want to use it but it wouldn't matter if other servers didn't, it will still be 2 connections

smooth_operator: sorry I thought you meant something else, unsure how widely deployed that is

Turn it on and see what happens

moparisthebest, smooth_operator: there none in ejabberd so this limits its usefulness

Also, there is no downsid to enable it, doesn't matter how many enable it

I've some bidi connections, most to very small servers, notably to yax.im

Menel: yax is...not small, right?

Yes, I wanted to say, its to some small servers and one of the exceptions (big) is yax.im

The questions above is curious. Its like: "I want to allow TLS_1.3 but how many are using it? If its not many I will not enable it"

Menel: riiight

!contact conversations.im

No such thing in here?

That would be nice...

According to my chat logs there was a bot in the past ...

But wasn't it a @help triggerd bot?

@contact conversations.im

Doesn't work as well…

I noticed

But thank you for xmpp:magicbot@magicbroccoli.de Who ever made it

(Use !help)

Disco info in profanity also shows the server contacts. 🙂

moparisthebest, have you also poked 0ad? They also use gloox as their XMPP library.

Menel: I've made some improvements to the bot here: https://gitlab.rimkus.it/xmpp/xmpp-chatbot And he is reachable (in German) under xmpp:raverbot@rimkus.it ✏

Nice raver 😀

Link Mauve, just found their IRC and am talking to them, they use ejabberd for a server too, so are vulnerable to the whole attack unless they've patched their expat lately
