  1. pep.

    I think it's a good thing they move to matrix. At least it's free software, assuming they release their own fork. It's a big blow to xmpp but we're not perfect either anyway

  2. Ge0rG

    Awesome project: https://t2bot.io/voyager/

  3. Ge0rG

    We need a clone of that for xmpp: URIs

  4. pep.

    That would be nice indeed

  5. Ge0rG

    I'm sure it would have indexed all ten MUCs very soon.

  6. pep.

    sshhh

  7. pep.

    I'd like to volunteer but I'm not sure when I've got time in my schedule

  8. Ge0rG

    I wonder why nobody has derailed the HN thread yet to push the awesomeness of XMPP 🤔

  9. pep.

    Wait, "adding features like Jitsi video conferencing, [..]", they use jitsi for their video conference?

  10. Ge0rG

    pep.: that does make one wonder.

  11. ralphm

    So XMPP signaling?

  12. Ge0rG

    maybe only the oob things, and have http/rest/json for the signaling?

  13. MattJ

    Ge0rG, https://search.wensley.org.uk/

  14. Ge0rG

    MattJ: this is totally not what I was looking for. And it also looks like a 1996 myspace page.

  15. Ge0rG

    and it's using comic sans?

  16. jonasw

    err

  17. jonasw

    fun question

  18. jonasw

    all those XMPP URL things

  19. jonasw

    do they properly escape things like "?" in the XMPP address? :)

  20. Zash

    Did you mean: URI?

  21. jonasw

    maybe

  22. Ge0rG

    jonasw: yes

  23. nonfreepizza

    hi hello I have a question about pubsub nodes addressed as JID's as described in XEP-0060, how does that work with the URI's?

  24. nonfreepizza

    is ";node=nodename" still needed in case the node is specified in JID

  25. Ge0rG

    jonasw: correct quoting of the URI is a real challenge. I tried to find a middle ground in the invitation page

  26. jjrh

    voyager bot is neat.

  27. Maranda

    voyager bot?

  28. Wiktor

    Maranda: matrix room walking bot

  29. jjrh

  30. Ge0rG

    I've heard there is one for XMPP now.

  31. Wiktor

    Ge0rG: the Comic Sans one?

  32. Ge0rG

    Wiktor: no, a new bot that's hopping MUCs

  33. Wiktor

    oh, I see

  34. Maranda

    like the one of wensley.org.uk?

  35. Ge0rG

    Still no.

  36. Maranda

  37. Maranda

    :P

  38. Pat

    Muchopper

  39. Ge0rG

    Mine isn't listed.

  40. Maranda

    well there's even a MLP room

  41. Maranda

    hahahaha

  42. Ge0rG

    АНИМЕ. This looks so subtly wrong.
