XMPP Service Operators - 2024-01-23

*sigh*

you know the saying "schedule maintenance, otherwise the equipment will schedule maintenance for you"?

at least I'll now get around fixing the disk space hog for good. (sjn down once more, due to disk full)

Ouch. Good luck.

Saving too much log? Consider to make your filesystem self-compressed?

logrotate can also compress old logs you can also use duperemove on btrfs and xfs to remove duplicate file extents

gotta love when people give advice without knowing the least about a problem <3

there is a separate software which you don't control on the machine which fills the disk

?

shouldnt you ask if they need or want help first? /thinking

until a few weeks ago, I ran a web service on the same box which required ~25 GiB of data. I hadn't gotten around to delete that data yet, I'm doing that now (after archiving it---the archiving takes a while because I'm downloading through a 5MB/s link). once that's gone there's enough space to go on without issues.

*IF I MAY SAY:* If you, yourself there u, HOST A CHAT SERVER using a very mature CHAT PROTOCOL and provide a homeworld for others to leave their TCP connections idle, chat, and do stuff together, IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION that you should chat too.

Hence as an operator/admin it only makes sense to be a part of the chats

*IF I MAY SAY:* XMPP is very DNS (DOMAIN NAME) oriented, we are all DOMAINS and NAMED hence our domains mean something to us. This should be self propelling for an operator to make with their OFFERED services.

Hence as an operator/admin why not inspire community and/or a theme or motto

... ...... just my thoughts

Greetings to one and all!

I would be delighted to receive a basic explaination about the technicalities of registering a bot as a service component. ✏

Like how to do it?

Depends on the server software

The standard is XEP-0114

For a few years now

Is it transparent like zfs And resource hungry or is it a one time online process like a defrag?

What is the tool to do this with xfs?

any, eg. duperemove

and the latter

ondemand/manual

savagepeanut, Yes, and I also need a server to test a bot.

Maranda, are there issues on your end (muc.metronome.im and, I assume, conference.yunohost.org) or is something wrong on my end? For days I’ve been having problems accessing MUC on both of those servers. And when c.y.o worked, there was a huge lag between Matrix and XMPP•

Friends, I'm working on an RSS bot and it appears to work good. My next step is to make that bot a service component. I don't have an XMPP sevrer and lack of information on operating an XMPP server. I would be delighted if someone would provide me with a (test) server to test my bot with. https://gitgud.io/sjehuda/slixfeed

sch: I can help you out tomorrow

Thank you Guus!

Contact me in approximately 10 hours from now sch

Noted. I will. ✏

sch, oh cool, i would be delighted to do that, with `xmpp.bot` of all domains, but I'm not sure how to grant that to you, but with your own TLS certs and DNS fixing, I can certainly configurue a vhost

I was going to start offering xmpp vhost service after my server rework

chunk, I am not in a hurry. Please take your time. I am open to offers and assistance. The required code for operating the bot as a component haas not been added yet. The bot is to be found at https://gitgud.io/sjehuda/slixfeed ✏

oh aha, cool

if it doesn't displease anybody to offer you my jid is xmpp:chunk@xmpp.bot

i also enjoy working with slixmpp

and i've sen that repo, gooya asked me if i wanted to help you once before

ahahah

Even though the bot appears to be functional and almost done. I would be glad to get some help in improving it.

i been trying much more these past few montths to learn python, i like slixmpp, i have hopes of using it lots over the next long time

i guess poezio client is made using slixmpp? i wonder how much of
