  72. jonasw

    I still have no good idea how to glue all the layers together in my client to actaully be able to implement that chain of fallbacks :/

  73. arc has joined

  74. zinid

    my thoughts exactly when I try to implement new cool xmpp things: calling hooks in unexpected places is annoying

  75. zinid

    for example, dealing with messages forks and carbons is a nightmare

  76. jonasw

    zinid, you should involve yourself in the Message Routing 2.0 discussion, if you aren’t already

  77. jonasw

    things might in fact get simpler

  78. jonasw

    I always wonder whether this perceived complexity is from my inexperience with 1Mloc+ projects or if this is specific to the IM domain or if this is specific to the XMPP domain

  79. lskdjf has joined

  80. Kev has joined

  81. zinid

    I think that's because of paradigms change

  82. jonasw

    you mean existing code having hardship with adapting to the new situations?

  83. zinid

    we used to have simple chatting where you don't need to *synchronize*

  84. zinid

    no, I mean IM paradigm

  85. zinid

    now we face the problem which is in fact data *synchronization*

  86. zinid

    take a look at mam and carbons

  87. zinid

    those are clearly replica transfers

  88. jonasw

    sure

  89. zinid

    so I would suggest to implement this replica layer first

  90. zinid

    but I have no idea how to make the transition :/

  91. zinid

    I also think XML is not the best way to exchange replicas, lol

  92. Steve Kille has left

  93. zinid

    anyway, we can invent new and shiny IM 2.0, but how to make the transition?

  94. zinid

    that's why I virtually don't discuss the topic

  95. zinid

    I have no ideas

  96. jonasw

    zinid, there have been very concrete proposals

  97. zinid

    jonasw: I didn't find the solution with ancient servers

  98. zinid

    I mean I didn't see such proposal

  99. jonasw

    (using Bind 2.0 as a signal for "use IM 2.0 rules" and some s2s protocol to make serves negotiate that between them, PLUS and here’s where your ancient servers come into play, fallback to the existing Hints for Carbons and MAM by writing them explicitly into the messages when transferring to IM 1.0 domains)

  100. zinid

    fuck yeah, much easier :D

  101. jonasw

    much easier than what?

  102. zinid

    [10:26:12] <jonasw> things might in fact get simpler

  103. zinid

    what did you mean here? :)

  104. zinid

    I see only more complexity, it looks for me new servers need to maintain old and new behaviour

  105. jonasw

    zinid, inside the IM 2.0 domain, you’d see much simpler rules for archiving and carbons than what we currently have

  106. zinid

    probably, but those rules still suck in the sense of replica synchronization

  107. jonasw

    do they?

  108. zinid

    for example eventual consistency is not guaranteed at all

  109. jonasw

    isn’t its

  110. jonasw

    isn’t it?

  111. zinid

    you can lose messages easily

  112. jonasw

    how?

  113. zinid

    via s2s failures?

  114. jonasw

    stream management?

  115. zinid

    it doesn't solve all the problems

  116. jonasw

    sure, but many

  117. zinid

    no

  118. zinid

    it doesn't solve a problem with server outage for significant time

  119. jonasw

    and also, the current discussion is mostly about different clients on the same account

  120. jonasw

    do you think it should be extended to different accounts?

  121. zinid

    typically the message is buffered for 5 minutes

  122. jonasw

    on server outage with significant time I’d expect message loss, it’s as simple as that

  123. zinid

    yes, I know what about the current discussion ;)

  124. jonasw

    the sender would get an error back, it’s a rather clear situation?

  125. zinid

    jonasw: well, I have quite some experiences in database design and I would say consistency should be guaranteed even with huge outage

  126. zinid

    jonasw: yes, it will receive error back, then what? the recipient loses the message forever

  127. jonasw

    it is clear to the sender that the recipient has never seen the message

  128. jonasw

    or that the message was never even sent

  129. zinid

    yeah, that's not how eventual consistency works ;)

  130. jonasw

    I find it consistent.

  131. SamWhited has left

  132. jonasw

    both nodes end up to "know" the "message was not sent" state

  133. zinid

    you face inconsistent state and you need to resolve it *eventually*

  134. jonasw

    (the sender explicitly by seeing the error, the recipient implicitly by not seeing the message)

  135. Ge0rG has left

  136. Ge0rG has left

  137. zinid

    no, recipient node might know jack shit

  138. zinid

    due to unexpected failures

  139. Ge0rG has left

  140. zinid

    this is acceptable in p2p computing for example

  141. zinid

    and is tolerated

  142. zinid

    but not in xmpp ;)

  143. SamWhited has joined

  144. SamWhited has joined

  145. zinid

    distributed databases even have anti-entropy technics to deal with rotten bits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot), but let's say we don't need this in xmpp (at least so far)

    I find matrix approach very decent in this regard, however their use of http polling and json is annoying

  152. Syndace has joined

  153. nyco has left

  154. Guus has left

  155. Holger

    Exactly.

  156. zinid

    yeah, the idea is great, implementation is shit

  157. zinid

    I still think servers should not replicate, it should be done peer-to-peer

  158. zinid

    servers could maintain replicas, but this is not required

  159. nyco has joined

  160. Holger

    The replicas are just caches in Matrix I think. At least I don't see why servers couldn't just ditch and later re-fetch them.

  161. zinid

    probably, I don't know all the details

  162. Guus has left

  163. zinid

    but look, this is much easier to fetch replicas p2p: when you become available you ask for replicas of your contacts (possessing the last seen message id)

  164. zinid

    you don't even need stream management queues for this

  165. jonasw

    except that you wouldn’t want your phone to drain its battery on syncing other peoples messages

  166. zinid

    jonasw: yes, so replication servers are needed, so they can reply to such replica requests by themselves (without client involvement)

  167. jonasw

    at which point you’re ditching the p2p approach and we’re kind-of back to "ask for MAM on your server"

  168. daniel has left

  169. zinid

    no, I can disable this feature on my server

  170. zinid

    but this can be implemented via MAM, yes

  171. zinid

    we already have this for groupchats

  172. zinid

    why contacts are different?

  173. jonasw

    see above?

  174. daniel has left

  175. zinid

    what exactly do you mean? MAM should be considered as just another replica or cache

  176. jonasw

    I mean the power consumption issue.

  177. zinid

    of course there can be tons of replicas, so?

  178. zinid

    what issue if you ask your server to maintain replicas?

  179. jonasw

    I don’t see how that would work, discovery and security-wise.

  180. jonasw

    I don’t have any issue with that, it is simply MAM

  181. zinid

    I don't find it less secure than current approach

  182. jonasw

    anyways, gotta go, I already typed too much today (hand injury) :(

  183. zinid

    jonasw: this is kinda "enchanced" mam :)

    “07:54:06 jonasw> on server outage with significant time I’d expect message loss, it’s as simple as that”, people coming from email would be sad to hear that, it’s been a solved problem for a long time there.

  239. jonasw

    Link Mauve, when you have a long outage, emails will bounce just like IM messages do

  240. jonasw

    the term "long" is relative and may be different for IM and Email

  241. Zash

    It's *Instant* Messaging after all

  242. zinid

    Zash: nah, it's data replication now, that's the problem

  277. jonasw

    the HTML support in the markdown component is left enabled intentionally

  278. intosi has joined

  279. zinid

    html inside markdown looks like a really insane idea ;)

  280. jonasw

    zinid, markdown is specified as an HTML superset, IIRC

  281. Zash

    markdown is defined as a html superset

  282. Zash

    too slow

  283. zinid

    wat?

  284. zinid

    a html superset?

  285. jonasw

    yup

  286. zinid

    what does that mean?

  287. jonasw

    every valid HTML document is a valid markdown document

  288. zinid

    oh shi~

  289. jonasw

    (even though I’m not sure that’s actually true, there are probably some corner casesr

  290. jonasw

    (even though I’m not sure that’s actually true, there are probably some corner cases)

  291. jonasw

    but it’s intended to be that way

  292. zinid

    actually, every text is a valid markdown document, no?

  293. jonasw

    yes

  294. zinid

    so markdown is a text superset, okay

  295. jonasw

    but the semantics of a valid html document interpreted as markdown are the same of the html docmuent interpreted as html

    daniel, do you want a MAM namespace bump?

  445. jjrh has left

  446. daniel

    Flow: no?!

  447. Flow

    or, in other words, isn't a MAM namespace bump required for your proposed excluded-types?

  448. Flow

    or is the service required to return an error on unknown fields? which would be good I think

  449. daniel

    Flow, i think the additional filter thingy is off the table anyway

  450. daniel

    we just gonna adjust the rules

  451. Flow

    ohh :( I like the idea of additional flexible filters which are discoverable

  452. daniel

    Flow, custom filters are already part of the protocol

  453. Flow

    and not specified in xep313

  454. Ge0rG

    what about making MAM responses type=headline?

  455. Ge0rG

    Aaaand changing the default configuration to "N/A"

  456. Flow

    daniel, right, but there is currently no specification for message type filters

  457. Flow

    Ge0rG, I can't follow, but it's likely because it has been a long week

  458. Flow

    I believe that MAM archives should be allowed to also archive groupchat messages FWIW

    if they were specified they wouldn't be custom, no?

  460. Ge0rG

    Flow: type=headline would better reflect the ephemeral status of MAM responses, and the rationale for "N/A" is in https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2017-November/033762.html (c)

  461. Ge0rG

    Flow: why do you believe that way?

  462. Flow

    daniel, probably, but does not matter, I want a mandatory set of filter mechanism which can be extended by discoverable additional filters, so that we can experiment which filters are a good idea and which are unnecessary

  463. daniel

    Ge0rG, am i reading this mail correctly you are planning to come to the summit?

  464. Flow

    Ge0rG, most for the same reasons that Kev said

  465. Ge0rG

    Flow: I disagree with Kev on that.

  466. Ge0rG

    daniel: I can't promise that.

  467. Ge0rG

    I really can't.

  468. stefandxm has joined

  469. Flow

    Ge0rG, My vision is to give MAM services maximal freedom regarding what to archive, and clients should be given the filtering mechanisms they need

  470. Ge0rG

    Flow: what about using a separate XEP for all of that?

  471. Flow

    Ge0rG, for the f

  472. Flow

    iltering mechs?

  473. Flow

    (the optinal filtering mechs)

  474. Zash

    What gets stored should be up to server policy. What gets can be described by a XEP

  475. Ge0rG

    Flow: no, for things that go beyond normal im client message archival.

  476. Ge0rG

    Zash: implementation defied!!!!

  477. Flow

    Ge0rG, wouldn't that be an MAM alternative?

  478. Ge0rG

    Flow: what about using the same backend storage but not return everything to normal MAM requests?

  479. Flow

    Ge0rG, if you still have the possiblity to return groupchat and probably all other types of messages, then that would be fine in my book

  480. Flow

    err, to return if the client asked for it

  481. Ge0rG

    Flow: the server is free to store anything it wants, as longs as it only returns what's written in MAM on a normal MAM query

  482. daniel

    Flow, it's not my XEP; i could live with the filtering on query proposal. (also I believe storing groupchat in the personal archive has downsides that make it not really fit for use). I believe existing implementations would ignore unknown form fields. thus introducing new ones could be done without a NS bump

  483. daniel

    so to answer you question no I'm not planning a NS bump. I'm not planning anything

  484. Flow

    daniel, guess my initial question was if you think that your proposal 2) would require a NS bump

  485. Flow

    I'm not sure if the service ignoring unknown fields means that you can avoid a namespace bump

  486. Ge0rG

    really, let's get rid of namespace bumps altogether.

  487. daniel

    i generally tend to be on the rather not bump if it doesn't cause issues with existing implementations faction

  488. Flow

    Yeah for unexpected behavior

  489. Ge0rG

    I'm sure it's possible to replace almost every ns bump with a feature.

  490. Flow

    Ge0rG, well then it's ok

  491. Ge0rG

    but in this specific case, I don't want to extend MAM.

  492. daniel

    but existing implementations need to change anway because they a) need to start actutally storing groupchats b) add a database field for the type to make the query efficent

  493. Ge0rG

    are there provisions in MAM to full-body-search for messages?

  494. jjrh has left

  495. Flow

    Ge0rG, I don't think so

  496. Ge0rG

    Flow: so what's your use case again?

  497. Flow

    And while at it, I want to point out that K9 did for years client local searches. It took a while until they implemented server side IMAP searches

  498. Ge0rG

    Flow: that's actually an argument against gc in mam

  499. Flow

    No, it's just an observation regarding the importance of a server side search feature

    Well, good. We welcome discussions on technical matters, in a civilized matter. It may all be funny for you to repeat how bad you think the protocol, our procedures, or the people in our community are. I don't find it acceptable. If you insist on keeping that up, I will simply remove you from the XSF maintained venues like this room.

    I'd you can't be bothered to even look that up, that's on you. This room is hosted by the XMPP Standards Foundation. I'm its Chairman. It's pretty much similar to how I would throw out a guest in my house if he starts bothering the other guests.

    It doesn't take much provocation to make him try to insult you. It would be more of a loss if new people see that kind of abuse and don't get involved because he'll just call them an idiot.

  679. ralphm

    I've had multiple complaints, and I'd like to think I'm a reasonable and generally nice guy. I also read back some previous discussions. Before, other people asked nicely. I did a final attempt. He keeps on trolling. Fine.

  680. ralphm

    I've suggested improvements to other people before, and those people have changed their ways. I can sometimes be annoyed, but this is simply intentionally riling up people, and I don't think we need to tolerate this.

  702. Guus

    I've made a point of not escalate things. Sadly, that did not work.

  703. Holger

    I see him using flippant slang. As for the substance, I see him ranting against how this community does things. I totally understand how he won't make friends that way.

  704. Guus

    I'm perfectly fine with arguments and dont mind expletives at all - but I do think it's important to have civil discourse.

  705. Holger

    But I won't agree with this as a reason for a ban.

  706. SamWhited

    He was asked to stop multiple times by different people including Guus, me, George, and probably others and only responded with abuse. Then someone who actually has authority politely warned him and he still didn't listen, I'm not sure what else there is to do besides a ban.

  707. SamWhited

    If he tells a new person that their spec or ideas are garbage they're not likely to come back; no community needs that kind of toxic behavior, no matter how smart the person is.
