    Yes

  220. Ge0rG

  323. pep.

    "Markdown-like syntax" in that article. This is going to come back to bite us at some point

  324. Ge0rG

    pep.: that also came on the ML recently, with the suggestion to call 393 and 394 "markdown" and "markup" respectively

  325. ralphm has joined

  326. pep.

    Yeah I've seen that one and your comment :)

  327. Zash cries in groff

  328. Ge0rG

    I had to resist the urge to counter-propose "markleft" and "markright"

  329. Ge0rG

    I think that 0394 qualifies for markleft, because it's based on tags starting with <, and 0393 is markright because it specifies > as a quoting character.

  330. Ge0rG

    jonasw, SamWhited: ^

  331. jonasw

    I’ll slap you

  332. LNJ has left

  337. jonasw

  338. Ge0rG

    jonasw: over XMPP

  339. jonasw

  350. jonasw

    fry: not sure if demonstration on how to do that or quote and laughter.

  351. flow

    jonasw, what's your stance on swapping the names of xep39(3|4)?

  352. LNJ has left

  353. jonasw

    flow, I said that I’m going to change the name of 394 anyways, so I don’t really care

  354. jonasw

    I’m not sure either styling or markup really applies

  355. ralphm has joined

  356. flow

    jonasw, what shall be the new name of xep394?

  357. jonasw

    swapping the names seems like a bad idea though

  358. jonasw

    not sure

  359. flow

    XEP-0394: Not Sure

  360. jonasw

    seems legit

  361. flow

    That appears to be confusing

  362. Ge0rG

    jonasw: "markleft"

  363. jonasw

    Ge0rG, no.

  364. flow

    Text Style Annotations

  365. Zash

    You are thinking too 2D

  366. jonasw

    maybe Markup Annotation or something which carries the notion that it’s not directly inside the message

  367. Zash

    Markforward!

  368. Ge0rG

    jonasw: you don't really care, and "markleft" and "markright" are great memory hooks

  369. jonasw

    Ge0rG, they’re also bad for people with right/left weakness :P

  370. Zash

    Mark Here

  372. jonasw

    intended typo?

    I don’t see the joke then :)

  375. Ge0rG

    haha the irony is excellent, that slack-bait-and-switch hn thread a guy 'I'm writing an open source client...' -> follows link -> 'The app will be open-sourced at some point, so you don't have to worry about it being abandoned.'

  386. jonasw

    lolwat

  387. moparisthebest

    I fell for that once with minecraft, never again

  388. jonasw

    i don’t like that "we’ll open source that at some point"

  389. Zash

    Minetest!

  390. moparisthebest

    yea minetest is excellent :)

  391. jonasw

    people who don’t open source right away usually won’t lose their reasons not to later on

  392. jonasw

    Syndace might be an exception, still wary on that one ;-) (jk)

    they never have security issues

    moparisthebest, you should renick to "multiprotocolisthebest"

  416. jonasw

    holy smokes

  417. rion

    =)

  418. jonasw

    I thought we were past this stage

  419. Zash

    C is nice. In small doses.

  420. moparisthebest

    I dislike 100mb javascript monstrosities too, but the solution to me doesn't seem to be 'rewrite everything in "pure C"'

  421. jonasw

    yeah

  422. jonasw

    using something inherently memory-unsafe in 2018 seems like a super stupid thing to do.

  423. jonasw

    especially if network interfaced

  424. jonasw

    I’d go along with C++. that has at least the option of writing mostly compile-time checked memory-safe code.

  425. jonasw

    > eul is a registered company, and all binaries are signed. Your data is safe.

  426. jonasw

    I’ll... just ... stop reading that site now

  427. moparisthebest

    mainly the irony of being linked from that thread and 'solving the walled garden problem' was the best part :)

  428. Ge0rG

    he was plugging eul in earlier threads as well.

  429. Kev

    Slack doesn't give me much grief using the Slack client, although it's annoying, but Discord...someone makes a nice open source Discord transport and they will be my friend.

  430. Ge0rG

    someone make a nice XMPP client.

  431. edhelas

    Kev wow you need a lots of effort to be your friend

  432. Kev

    Ge0rG: I'm working on that.

  435. Kev

    It's C++ and it's Qt and I hope this could be the year of XMPP on the desktop ;)

  436. Ge0rG

    > the entire Hanwha smart camera cloud is a Jabber server. It has so-called rooms, with cameras of one type in each room. An attacker could register an arbitrary account on the Jabber server and gain access to all rooms on that server. Sound security design.

    Better someone build an XMPP Discord-kind-of-client

  442. jonasw

    should probably take a look at discord at some point

  443. Kev

    Much like Slack.

  444. Kev

    Except you can't have multiple accounts

  446. Kev

    Much like Discord.

  448. Zash

    Someone wanna take one for the team and look at all these things and tell us what their point is?

  449. Kev

    I use both extensively.

  450. Zash goes and sits in the "IRC and XMPP are fine, why would you want all that garbage?" corner.

  451. jonasw

    Kev, wanna agree on how to handle Emoji Reactions and do a field test?

  452. Kev

    Zash: They both do things that are useful and XMPP doesn't do, to my eyes.

  453. Kev

    jonasw: Reference.

  454. Link Mauve

    Last argument I heard for Discord was “it’s possible to do an audio conference at any moment, so we should migrate that in the eventuality we may want to do one someday”.

  455. jonasw

    but there are many details

  456. Seve/SouL

    Kev, it would be nice to know which kind of things we are missing then

  457. jonasw

    Kev, https://github.com/jabbercat/jabbercat/issues/80

  458. Kev

    That's the easy answer for live messages. For non-live messages we need the server archive to understand references.

  459. Link Mauve

    I then proceeded to close this biboumi tab to never come back there.

  460. Zash

    Kev: Things.

  461. jonasw

    Kev, I argue that Message Attaching is more well-suited for emoji reactions, but feel free to weigh in if you disagree. I consider that one of the more irrelevant details though.

  463. Zash

    Kev: All I hear are repeats of my Skype hating days. "XMPP just can't replace Skype" - said by peolpe who use it exactly as you would IRC

  464. Kev

    jonasw: I *think* that References simply supersedes Message Attaching, once it's fleshed out.

  465. Dave Cridland has left

    Zash: I think you can give me a little mileage in having an understanding of XMPP if I think some of the things Slack does that I use are hard to currently do in XMPP :)

  469. jonasw

    but I argue that in the linked thing already

  470. Kev

    And Reactions that Jonas is talking about is one useful example.

  471. Kev

    Other things are what I'm hoping to build on top of MIX once we've got MIX usefully out there.

    I'm also in favor of Message Attaching over References for reactions, because what jonasw said

  478. Dave Cridland has left

  479. Ge0rG

    I could live with a reference containing the message ID and a type='reaction', though

  480. jonasw

    Kev, also, my beef with references would be that it uses codepoint ranges into body but doesn’t handle multiple languages. that’s not relevant to reactions, but I expect some breakage originating from that.

  481. Ge0rG

    however, neither XEP provides an element to put the actual reaction into

  482. jonasw

    (and thus namespace bumps for things irrelevant to reactions)

  483. Dave Cridland has left

  484. jonasw

    Ge0rG, I’d just put that as a simpling into the <message/>

  485. jonasw

    Ge0rG, I’d just put that as a sibling into the <message/>

  486. Ge0rG

    jonasw: my point is: we need a separate reactions XEP anyway

  487. jonasw

    yeah, that’s true

  488. jonasw

    hm, actually, I might post some aggregated feedback on references, I am finding quite a few things I dislike about it when reading it

  489. Kev

    jonasw: Give it a week or so, Edwin's sending out a major update imminently.

  490. jonasw

    Kev, oh-kay

  491. jonasw

    Kev, no wait, I’m going to send out that feedback anyways. From how I see things working usually, the major update will be delayed for some reason and then my feedback is lost, because I’ll forget about it

  492. Kev

    Or send it anyway and Edwin can integrate it, either way.

  493. jonasw

    also, maybe it can be incorporated into that update :)

  494. jonasw

    yeah

  495. Seve/SouL

    Are you just considering Reactions emoji-only things?

  496. Zash

    <reaction>meh</reaction>

  497. Ge0rG

    Seve/SouL: no, but emoji will be the recommended way to react.

  498. Ge0rG

    Seve/SouL: the challenge is to determine how many codepoints correspond to one emoji

  499. Zash

    A bunch

  500. Zash

    <{reaction}meh/>

  501. Kev

    Why do you need to count the codepoints in an emoji? They're the reaction, not the source

  502. Zash

    Did someone suggest shoving semantics into <body>? Otherwise there shouldn't be any need for codepoint counting.

  503. jonasw

    I did not.

  504. jonasw

    I only want to shove fallback into <body/> :)

  514. flow

    where is +notify specified? Is it only that single sentence in xep163?

  515. Zash

    flow: might be a bit in 60 too

  516. Kev

    9.2, 60.

  517. jonasw

    Kev, why?

  518. Zash

    Spam?

  519. flow

    hmm then xep163 is misleading, it tells me that appending +notify will make me receive all notifications related to the protocol that precedes the suffix

  520. jonasw

    Zash, if in response to the Reactions thing: people are doing that already anyways

  521. Zash

    Isn't half the point of these to compress eg a ton of 👍 replies?

  522. flow

    whereas xep60 tells that that I will only receive notifications about the node whose NodeID is the prefix

  523. Zash

    No the obvious solution here is to write a message with only 'm', which triggers a bot to say "$name says +1". Now you got twice the spam.

  524. Zash

    (This what actually went on in those Skype channels)

  525. jonasw

    (not to mention that if we don’t have a body on the message, it will be omitted from many archives.)

  526. jonasw

    (or may not be carbon-copied or something)

  527. Kev

    flow: How are the nodes named in 163?

  529. moparisthebest has left

  530. Kev

    jonasw: We need to update how archiving works in the world of references. And it's by archiving bare-JID.

  531. Zash

    jonasw: Mmmmmmmmyeah

  532. flow

    Kev, xep163 doesn't really name nodes, its protocols like tune who do

  533. jonasw

    Zash, so, I’ve seen people in MUCs already doing the "name\n> message\nemoji" thing.

  534. SaltyBones has joined

  535. flow

    but what if such protocols define multiple nodes? xep163 gives the impression that I'll get notifications for all of them by a single +notify

  536. Zash

  755. jjrh

    not sure if you guys are being facetious or not - the 'awesome' thing is just a github thing for a repo that is just a big list of resources/information relating to something. It doesn't really quantify quality

    It used to be a window manager!

  757. SamWhited

    MattJ: Cool story bro

  771. Syndace has left

  772. Zash

    I'm happy with i3, in that I finally found a window manager that let switch virtual desktops separately on each monitor

  773. Zash

    And does tabs

  774. SamWhited

    I used to use a mix of open box and xfce-wm, but stopped when I switched to i3 full time.

    I use KDE Plasma

  776. SamWhited

    What Zash said; that was the big draw for me as well.

  777. Lance has left

  778. jjrh

    Does it play nice with floating windows? What I always wanted was tiling for one monitor/virtual desktop and floating for others.

  779. Zash

    I've been trying to switch to LuaKit for browsing, so that i3 can do the window management instead of the browser

  780. Zash

    buuuut now I'm back with a ton of firefox tabs :(

  781. moparisthebest

    I still use KDE since 2006 , been meaning to try i3 though

  782. jjrh

    I got a coworker still using twm

  783. Syndace has left

  784. Zash

    jjrh: duno what qualifies as nice, but it lets you have floating windows if you want to

  785. Seve/SouL

    moparisthebest, noo, please don't leave me alone on this

  786. jjrh

    I guess can I get the best of both worlds? Because some stuff like coding I want tiled but a lot of other stuff is better floating.

  787. jjrh

    Because I tried one tiling wm - umm a haskell one forget the name - and it was like "yeah you can do floating but uh don't"

  788. moparisthebest

    Seve/SouL: I've tried various things and never liked them, lxdm, gnome, xfce etc, i3 is much more different though, we'll see

  789. SamWhited

    i3 will respect whatever the free desktop attribute thing is that windows can set to say "I should be floating", so most tiny windows that should be floating already are in my experience

  790. Zash

    and you can write rules in the config

  791. jjrh

    Can you set a workspace to be floating by default? Basically can I use i3 like I use openbox but have a few workspaces that are tiled?

  792. Zash

    Duno, floating is set per window usually

  793. Zash

    Probably doable with some config

  794. jjrh

    I guess I should give it a go at some point.

  795. jjrh

    With the workspace per monitor - will it just make double the workspaces when you lose a display (aka undock your laptop) because that would be super rad.

  796. Zash

    I'd recommend trying dwm too

  797. j.r has left

  798. Zash

    Used it way back before laptops, it was very nice

  799. SaltyBones has left

  800. Zash

    but on laptops it's always ended with abrupt power failure due to no battery monitoring

  801. Zash

    might be better now, it's probably managed by systemd these days ..

  802. jjrh

    My pain is I have 2 monitors and I undock my laptop and not only is my laptop not 1080p so that messes stuff up - but all the windows from the two screens get crammed into one virtual desktop

  803. goffi has left

  804. jjrh

    so if i3 treats each monitor as a workspace then it should play nice with switching from 2 to 1 monitors.

  805. Zash

    if your video drivers are sane enough, you'd just get all the workspaces moved onto the other monitor

  806. SamWhited

    That seems to be what mine does; I unplug my monitor and windows remain exactly the same on whatever workspace they were on (except maybe resized a bit)

  807. Zash

    The nicest thing is being able to move entire workspaces between monitors

  808. Zash

    IIRC no keybinding for it by default, but one can be set

  809. SamWhited

    Although I don't actually use a multi-monitor setup anymore; got an ultrawide and haven't looked back.

  810. Zash

    I've mostly got an xclock on the laptops monitor :)

  811. Zash

    and an xterm to mke the clock be the right shape

  813. Zash

    https://www.zash.se/upload/za9lYCrKESH1.png

  814. jjrh

    Zash, that's the problem - I want my wm to be smart enough to instead put them on a virtual desktop so everything isn't crammed together.

  815. jjrh

    So if I3 treats each monitor as a virtual desktop/workspace it should do the right thing.

  816. Zash

    Hm?

  817. jjrh

    Like when I undock my laptop (which docked has 2 monitors) all the windows between two monitors go to one - which makes a big mess.

  818. Zash

    Yeah, not like most others where it's treated as a single large workspace that covers all monitors

  819. jjrh

    Yeah exactly - so that's awesome if that's what i3 does :)

    I'm using fluxbox for something like 14 years now, and recently switched from VMware to VirtualBox. The latter seems to get something wrong, so I never see the full screen overlay. 😐

  833. jjrh

    I'd suggest you switch to openbox - I started on fluxbox but eventually switched.

  834. jjrh

    depending how complex your config is it should be pretty painless.

    I don't think anyone has been working on fluxbox for a long time.

  837. Ge0rG

    Pretty complex.

  838. Ge0rG

    Funny thing. I've met the fluxbox maintainer in real life, long before realizing that he's the maintainer, on a retro irc party, when those were a thing

    Yeah - might take a bit of time then. Everything is XML config in openbox and I think they renamed a few things so it's not a 1-1 mapping unfortunately.

  841. Ge0rG

    I shouldn't be complaining about xml too loudly in this channel

  842. jjrh

    not complaining - just pointing out it's radically different than fluxbox configs :)

    Ouch - looks like last release for openbox was 2010 :(

  845. Zash

    XML for config? Mmmmhm.

  846. jjrh

    If I remember correctly the fluxbox configs were really brittle, one wrong space and everything breaks.

  847. moparisthebest

    Ge0rG: might go ahead and and skip virtualbox and go directly to virt-manager/kvm

    moparisthebest: Hm. Does it run macOS and Windows on a Linux host?

  853. moparisthebest

    Ge0rG: windows for sure

  854. moparisthebest

    Probably Mac? Haven't tried

    jjrh: I used Notion (successor of Ion3) in the past, that one has full-blown support for floating vs. tiling workspaces and handles multiple displays like i3 does.

  857. jjrh

    Interesting - thanks for that :)

  858. Holger

    jjrh: I also ended up with i3 though. It's the younger and easier project and way more popular these days. Compared to that, Notion feels a bit clumsy, with a somewhat complex Lua configuration; i3 has a straightforward key=value config file.

  859. Zash

    I see no `=` in `bindsym $mod+Tab move workspace to output right`

  860. Holger

    Well it's straightforward at least :-)

  861. Holger

    It's actually commands that take arguments, yes.
