  257. jonasw

    so people are actually serious about paying with IM clients?!

  258. jonasw

    holy fuck

  259. daniel

    Ge0rG: is this post a meme? I feel like I have seen the exact same post in every xmpp related thread on HN

  260. pep.

    jonasw: I seriously hope not :z

  261. Zash

    ugh

  262. Dave Cridland has left

  263. Dave Cridland has left

  264. Alex

    Slack is te best example. I know many of companies which spend thousands of $ every month for IM

  265. zinid

    well, XMPP only shows that open standards cannot compete with commercial protocols created by bussiness monsters

  266. daniel

    > By 2016 nearly everyone could [...] syncing between multiple devices tell that to my WhatsApp

  267. Dave Cridland has left

  268. Alex

    I would say it can, we just need some more good clients, and make it easier to install your own server. But we are having this discussion every couple of month ;-)

  269. jonasw

    Alex, but we don’t have funding for "just […] some more good clients"

  270. zinid

    > I would say it can, we just need some more good clients I think that's a contradiction: you cannot create a good client outside a monster like Google or Telegram

  271. zinid

    Not now, it's too late

  272. Alex

    its never too late

  273. zinid

    sometimes it is ;)

  274. zinid

    that's why I'm tired saying that we need to define a goal, a niche, and target it

  275. zinid

    and forget about world domination

  276. pep.

    Also if we always react to what platform do, we'll never be where these articles want us to be. Though I'm not sure I want to be anyway

  277. Alex

    federation is our big advantage

  278. pep.

    to whatever platformX do* (fling smartphone)

  279. pep.

    fking*

  280. zinid

    Alex, so how far did we get with this advantage?

  281. Zash

    flinging smartphones through windows!

  282. Dave Cridland has left

  283. pep.

    Zash: I'm not sure why I still inflict this on myself

    so, who will write the payment transfer XEP?

  289. zinid

    any volunteers? :)

  290. jonasw

    I don’t believe in using IM for payment

  291. jonasw

    so holy fuck no

  292. zinid

    jonasw, that doesn't matter, we don't even have enough competence to write such a XEP

  293. pep.

    What I was going to write. At least for me

  294. daniel

    Well JabberCoin could generate some positive press

  295. daniel

    Sometimes going with the flow is now a bad thing

  296. zinid

    daniel, I'm fine with JabberCoin btw

  297. daniel has left

  298. zinid

    daniel, we have 15k servers, we can spread it really fast

  299. Zash

    Ugh

  300. zinid

    bitcoin has "only" 9k server nodes

  301. daniel

    zinid: but you can't get any transactions through 😀

  302. jonasw

    blockchain!!! the solution to our identity-issue!!!k

  303. Zash

    no no no noooooooo!

  304. zinid

    guys, blockchain is not always as retarded as bitcoin, btw ;)

  305. zinid

    you can choose whatever BFT protocol you want

  306. jonasw hands some valerian to Zash

  307. edhelas

    blockchain is not retarder, it's just that most of the people that are talking about it are retarded

  308. SouL has left

  309. edhelas

    *retarded

  310. SouL has joined

  311. pep.

    Power consumption issues?

  312. edhelas

    it's good for the economy

  313. zinid

    pep., the "power consumption" is the issue of BFT protocols based on crypto computation, like bitcoin

  314. pep.

    OK. Do you have an example where it's not the case? (Genuine question) links or stuff I can lookup

  315. lskdjf has joined

  316. zinid

    pep., only academic read, alas, for example: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-39028-4_9

  317. zinid

    the paper itself is here: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/efb1/a85cf540fd4f901a78100a2e450d484aebac.pdf

    by the way: > and make it easier to install your own server how do you imagine that? I think you still need to be a nerd to install it, you need a server with OS installed at least

  339. Guus has left

  340. Guus has joined

  341. jonasw

    that can be solved with RPi images.

  342. jonasw

    but the DNS is tricky

  343. jonasw

    but the DNS is still tricky

  344. blabla has left

  345. zinid

    also, XMPP servers are hard to configure because XMPP assumes complex servers (at least that was the initial moto)

  346. Zash

    Another one of them tech cycles. Complexity oscilating between clients and servers

  347. zinid

    jonasw, not sure about RPi, what target audience are we talking about? house wives or tech-inclined teenagers?

  348. jonasw

    why not both?

  349. zinid

    jonasw, because I don't think a house wife can afford to install and configure RPi ;)

  350. Zash

    afford to?

  351. zinid

    *is not able to

    damn, a typical (TM) internet user doesn't understand URLs, what are we talking about? :)

  417. zinid

    always such types of comments on ycombinator in the corresponding IM-related thread ;)

  418. mathieui

    I twitched a little while reading that

  419. Zash

    Hm? Pro-Matrix as usual?

  420. zinid

    ah, sorry, I didn't copy-paste it completely: There is at least one major attempt at addressing this fragmentation with a modern protocol, that being the Matrix protocol (matrix.org).

  421. Zash

    Who could have guessed?

  422. zinid

    the only stuff comes at my mind in this moment is https://xkcd.com/927/

    So, I sent the following email https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/juser/2018-February/007156.html to JUser, but that's because I didn't know where would fit best. Can you guys tell me if you think I should post it in some other mailing list, please?

    not sure what solution they can find with their requirements

  538. marc

    "Stickers are available"

  539. marc

    LOL

  540. zinid

    "FOSS server implementation"

  541. zinid

    "not tightly controlled by a single company"

  542. zinid

    so this is definitely not Matrix

  543. Zash

    Writing requirements, step 1: Pick the solution you want. 2. Describe its properties. 3. Make up additional reasons to reject all other canditates.

  544. SaltyBones

    marc, I consider enlarged emojis to be stickers...

  545. marc

    SaltyBones, they use the term "emojis" in other places to I guess stickers are something else (see telegram)

  546. zinid

    > Telegram- or Slack-like GUI available (e.g. user avatars next to messages, whitespace between messages)

    from what I remember there used to be an XMPP server at kde.org, no?

  558. Zash

    allowing text reflow and zoom tends to go a long way

  559. Zash

    Bunneh: ping kde.org

  560. Bunneh

    Zash: Pong from kde.org in 1.916 seconds

  561. Zash

    Still appears to be

  562. zinid

    Bunneh, version kde.org

  563. Bunneh

    zinid: kde.org is running Prosody version 0.9.10 on Linux

  564. zinid

    so what's the problem?

  565. marc has left

  566. Zash

    IRC users

  567. Zash

    IRC users will never give up IRC (insert xkcd reference)

  568. SaltyBones

    maybe they don't have to with a nice transport?

  569. daniel

    Good bridges to other protocols seems like an oxymoron

  570. zinid

    True, I was the author of some bridges (AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, Mail.ru) and it's a nightmare

  571. Zash

    IRC is just enough subtly different from MUC to make it real tricky to translate.

  572. andy has joined

  573. daniel

    Yes. Though I think IRC is possible if you really know what you are doing. But anything else is just bound to fail

  574. SaltyBones is Bunneh: https://xkcd.com/1782/

  575. daniel

    That's coming from someone who just implemented an SMTP2xmpp gateway. Lol

  576. SaltyBones

    daniel, I'm waiting for the FAX2XMPP gateway to really make fun of...

  577. Zash

    I think that to get MUC to work from an IRC perspective, you have to constrain it, eg enforce the same nickname in every channel.

  578. Zash

    Probably other things that I can't think of right now

  579. Alex has joined

  580. zinid

    I touched IRC last time in 2004 or so, LOL

  581. daniel

    Zash: yes there is a lot of trickery to be made. But I think it would be possible.

  582. SaltyBones

    Hm...maybe the transport should be the other way round.

  583. SaltyBones

    Offer an IRC server that connects to MUCs.

  584. Zash

    SaltyBones: There was talk, long long ago, about adding an XMPP s2s interface to Freenode.

  585. zinid

    Zash, and? XKCD-1782 happens?

  586. Zash

    -xkcd 1782

  587. zinid

    I think trying to force users to migrate from IRC to XMPP is the same as trying to do this from XMPP to Matrix

  588. zinid

    https://community.kde.org/Matrix

  592. zinid

    marketing bullshit

  593. SaltyBones

    zinid, marketing bullshit makes the world go round

  594. Zash

    zinid: Especially considering that was the original purpose of Jabber, way back in the day

  595. andy has left

  596. zinid

    SaltyBones, "world go round" = "spinning wheels"?

  597. Zash

    1999 called and said it wasn't that great an idea after all.

  598. daniel

    zinid: unfortunately a lot of people believe this bullshit. This plays a huge part in the popularity of matrix

  599. zinid

    daniel, I know :)

  600. Dave Cridland has left

  601. daniel

    But you can probably just wait 5 years and see it fail

  602. Dave Cridland has left

  603. zinid

    I thought they already did, but then was bought by some obscure cryptocrappy company

  604. daniel

    So only sad thing is the wasted resources that go into something that is bound to fail

  605. daniel

    I'm not talking about the money or the venture capital they receive - I don't care about that - but the volunteers that work for them

  606. Dave Cridland has left

  607. zinid

    daniel, I frankly don't understand the volunteers, why they believe this shit about "open protocol", but whatever

  608. daniel

    Well people do stupid things. That's just how it is

  609. zinid

    yeah ;)

  610. Dave Cridland has left

  611. daniel

    I mean think of xmpp what you want. But matrix didn't solve any of the actual problems xmpp has aside from putting a lot of venture capital into a few clients that look somewhat polished on the surface

  612. daniel

    You could have just as well put the same money into some xmpp clients

  613. Guus has joined

  614. SaltyBones

    daniel, the imho only thing that matrix has is somewhat working calling.

  615. SaltyBones

    And the aforementioned marketing...

  616. daniel

    SaltyBones: sure. That's what I meant by somewhat polished clients.

  617. daniel

    Calling is basically a client feature

  618. daniel

    Take a third of the resources they had and you could have voip in xmpp clients as well

  619. zinid

    no surprise, they have 11 full-time programmers, and how many devs do XMPP clients have?

  620. test has joined

  621. daniel

    I mean from an end user perspective that's cool and all. If you are looking for an IM solution that runs in your web browser and consumes like 2 gigabytes of RAM and that you can do voice calls with then why not use matrix

  627. SaltyBones

    daniel, since I don't know ANYTHING about the topic please forgive the naive question: Why do video calls not work in Conversations?

  628. marc

    SaltyBones, because it is not implemented ;)

  629. zinid

    and complex

  630. marc

    zinid, depends

  631. marc

    I have a PoC

  632. daniel

    marc: are you still working on that per conversation media thing by the way?

  633. marc

    daniel, what media thing?

  634. marc

    ah, the shared media thing?

  635. zinid

    marc, well, it's not complex for me as well (because I wrote sip proxy, stun/turn server and an RTP translator/mixer) ;)

  636. daniel

    Show images for that conversation

  637. daniel

    Yes

  638. Dave Cridland has left

  639. zinid

    marc, but I can see how hard to a regular developer voip would be

  640. daniel

    zinid: the UX is a pain

  641. daniel

    Or the ui

  642. zinid

    daniel, probably, I'm not a gui guy, so cannot say anything

  643. Dave Cridland has left

  644. marc

    zinid, the big problem for me was/is the media information mapping and some android stuff

  645. Dave Cridland has left

  646. marc

    daniel, I would like to improve it and use the database backend etc. but at the moment I'm working on xep-401

  647. daniel

    The thing for me is that I very rarely call people anyway. And if I do I just use my phone.

  648. zinid

    daniel, same for me, but I like voip just as a technology, so I have fun just implementing this stuff (server-side)

  649. zinid

    and if you don't use it and don't like it a lot, then of course there will be a lot of pain, and the resulting quality would be suboptimal, to say the least ;)

  650. daniel

    Given that xmpp is usually 10 years behind the rest of the world we might as well skip the voip thing and start developing VR stufd

  651. daniel

    *stuff

  652. zinid

    LOL

  653. zinid

    we should finish the blockchain first!

  654. Zash

    A blockchain transport!!

  655. daniel

    I mean like meeting in a virtual pub or Café I could actually get behind. If it somehow transfers you facial expression into your virtual avatar or something like that. That could actually be a pretty cool way of meeting people that is way more personal than a telephone call

  656. daniel

    And you could pay with crypto currency in that virtual pub

  657. daniel

    So win/win

    daniel, regarding calling people: I agree, outside of calling the tax office I never call anybody. I do use video calls and slack conferences, though...

    So it either needs video or screen sharing.... :)
