XMPP Service Operators - 2023-03-16

Two announcements:

1) xmppbl.org now has a web page! https://xmppbl.org/

2) The Riddim XMPP bot framework now has an RTBL plugin, so it can protect channels even if the server does not have native RTBL support. There are setup instructions linked from the above page.

MattJ: it is the nginx's welcome page

Did you visit the page before today? Your browser may have cached the old page, try reloading.

MattJ: In the for developers section: Can you add the server and node used to publish the items?

> Did you visit the page before today? Your browser may have cached the old page, try reloading. No, but reloaded and now I can see it

Thanks

MattJ: will try the bot later! Thx for it

Peter Waher, in an implementation both the JID and node should be configuration variables. The service is just 'xmppbl.org' and the node depends on which list you want to subscribe to. Currently there is only one, but that is likely to change.

Peter Waher, I just added a note about this detail here: https://xmppbl.org/#how-do-i-use-the-rtbls

Does it include only blocking of JIDs, or also blocking of domains?

MattJ: Thanks

Good question, actually Prosody's implementation supports domains. I didn't add that to the bot though, I probably should.

If you control a domain, it’s easy to generate new JIDs for all messages, but still enter a room under the same Nickname.

(to evade a JID-centric block-list)

Yeah

Updated the dev section with a note about that

excellent, thanks

MattJ, just a simple correction

you put doman instead of domain

Fixed, thanks

😊
