    Nobody does it. Maybe most client developers don't care about UX, nor about corporate use cases

  52. Ge0rG has left

  53. j.r has joined

  54. jonasw

    I feel that org setup is more of a server side thing?

  55. Ge0rG

    Server developers don't care about corporate either.

  56. jonasw

    I think the ignite folks do

  57. Ge0rG

    But that doesn't matter because the client UX sucks

  58. jonasw

    reminds me to make things even harder for clients by specifying the IBR flow for ToS

  59. jonasw

    even though I’m inclined to simply say "ToS setups where consent is required before signing up are not supported by this XEP, but may be handled by a future specification"

  60. Zash

    "use a web form or something"

  61. Ge0rG has left

  62. rion has left

  63. Ge0rG

    jonasw: so what you are trying to invent has no value over web forms but compatibility issues?

  64. Zash

    As opposed to everything else

  65. Dave Cridland has left

  66. jonasw

    Ge0rG, it has; for GDPR, you don’t need consent anyways :)

  67. Dave Cridland has left

  68. jonasw

    consent-requiring services will need that, but that’s #notmydepartment right now

  69. jonasw

    (but the spec can be extended to support that, so that’s good)

    Kev, MattJ, can some of you help me with an issue on jabber.org?

  135. jonasw

    Kev, MattJ, can some of you help me with an issue on jabber.org (the xmpp service)?

  136. MattJ

    Not sure if I'll be able, but shall if I can - what's up?

  137. jonasw

    there’s a room with an invalid JID on conference.jabber.org: @conference.jabber.org (yes, with empty node part)

  138. Seve/SouL

    I think Anu touches an interesting point and I have to agree with him on the specific idea he mentioned. Discord, for instance, does a very similar thing. Where you create a 'server' (I think they call it that way) and you can create as many as MUCs you want under that 'server'. Do we have a way in XMPP to do this? Like a top level node where you add MUCs under it? Maybe with MIX this is possible?

  139. jonasw

    Seve/SouL, apt install prosody, echo 'Component "sub.domain.example" "muc"' >> /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua ?

  140. jonasw

    it would be great if that room could be nuked, MattJ

  141. Ge0rG

    jonasw: don't forget prosody-modules and two days of surfing the web to find out which versions of which modules are needed

  142. jonasw

    Ge0rG, MUC is luckily built-in :)

  143. Ge0rG

    Seve/SouL: I've argued for a long time that we need a two-click server deployment that integrates with LDAP, has all the nice modules... and a usable web client

  144. jonasw

    Ge0rG, do that!

  145. jonasw

    don’t argue, make it

  146. jonasw

    that being said, I think I mentioned that Guus is doing things in that direction. not only with a web client, but with WebRTC conference things

  147. Seve/SouL

    jonasw, haha, no no. I mean, unless you want to have this component for every user x) They call it a server but it's just like the root. Let's say we join Discord. I create a 'server' called XSF. And under it, I create offtopic, board, council, etc.. and everybody that joins the XSF 'server' can check the list of MUCs I've created for the XSF.

  148. jonasw

    but nobody is looking in that direction for some reasn.

  149. Ge0rG

    jonasw: but it's real work. Work for people who are more skilled in Lua and mercurial

  150. jonasw

    Seve/SouL, you mean like a separate MUC namespace for each user?

  151. Seve/SouL

    All of that, is under the same service

  152. Dave Cridland has left

  153. Ge0rG

    jonasw: I'm looking for corporate clients who would ask for that. None found so far

  154. jubalh has joined

  155. jonasw

    Seve/SouL, this won’t be possible with MIX either, and I’m not sure if it makes sense at all. A corporate deployment would have a domain anyways and host their services under that domain.

  156. Dave Cridland has left

  157. Seve/SouL

    Hmm, I didn't have companies in mind now, but imagine a large company. They would have an xmpp server, and each department would create their own MUCs inside the department's namespace. Like: IT namespace> Frontend dev, Backend dev, DevOps, etc

  158. Ge0rG

    Seve/SouL: that's great. Except that's not how large companies work

  159. MattJ

    Seve/SouL, you can have as many MUC domains as you like

  160. Ge0rG

    Seve/SouL: today's bigcorp want a cloud-based / private-cloud deployment that's fully integrated into their CMDB and AD and stuff

  161. Seve has joined

  162. MattJ

    Which just about any XMPP server provides

  163. SouL has joined

  164. la|r|ma has joined

  165. Ge0rG

    MattJ: are you speaking of AD integration or of "as many MUC domains as you like"

  166. MattJ

    Both

  167. jonasw

    (conference.jabber.org really could use some cleasing)

  168. Seve/SouL

    I understand what you say MattJ. But I think it would be interesting to explore that feature, as Anu said Slack works that way and Discord too. Of course they have this feature because they provide this service, and this feature maybe would not be useful for someone using XMPP just to talk with friends, but...

  169. Ge0rG

    MattJ: so you can write the instructions to set up a prosody for modern clients, including AD integration and a web client, on a napkin?

  170. Dave Cridland has left

  171. MattJ

    Most likely, yes

  172. MattJ

    And if you ask why not already done - everyone has a different set of requirements

  173. marmistrz has left

  174. MattJ

    You may think it, but not every organisation uses AD, or needs/wants a web client

  175. jonasw

    Seve/SouL, I agree that a hosted thing which allowed to easily add a domain, have a tickoption "[ ] Federate with other servers" and otherwise just deploys a modern XMPP server would be great, but time & money

  176. jonasw

    I doubt that one can write down the instructions for integrating with LDAP on a napkin.

  177. jonasw

    picking auth_ldap vs. auth_ldap2 is a non-trivial choice to start with :)

  178. Ge0rG

    MattJ: I know how complex it is to set up a prosody instance for non-commercial users, with less strict requirements. And it won't fit on a napkin.

  179. MattJ

    jonasw, Prosody's LDAP module was designed to work with no-to-minimal configuration a typical Debian/Ubuntu LDAP setup

  180. MattJ

    What I'm saying though is that there is no "standard set-up" (for anything)

  181. MattJ

    Everyone has their own requirements and stuff they want to configure, including Ge0rG

  182. jonasw

    there is no standard LDAP setup, from what I can tell :)

  183. jonasw

    but maybe that’s just me

  184. MattJ

    There is not, but there are many. The one that Debian tries to encourage you into is one

  185. MattJ

    If anyone thinks that enterprise deployment of any integrated software fits on the back of the napkin, they're plainly wrong

  186. MattJ

    The reason things like Slack succeed is precisely because they tend to bypass all that in the beginning

  187. jonasw

    yeah

  188. Ge0rG

    MattJ: then people realize how expensive Slack is and want a single-click deployment. And end up with Mattermost

  189. jonasw

    or rocket.chat

  190. jonasw

    MattJ, any luck with the MUC nuking?

  191. Ge0rG

    MattJ: there are some requirements that you can't argue are optional, like 0198, carbons and MAM

  192. MattJ

    I haven't used Mattermost, but I don't find rocket.chat very high quality software

  193. jonasw

    MattJ, still it replaced XMPP at the company I work for.

  194. jonasw

    because of -- among others -- rich text messages (beyond markdown-ish things) for integrated services...

  195. Andrew Nenakhov has joined

  196. Guus

    (I was mentioned here, but can't find the mention in recent history)

  197. Guus

    (or my client is acting up)

  198. jonasw

    Guus, I was talking about the webrtc-conference-integration work you are doing

  199. MattJ

    jonasw, I don't seem able to access the server, so... no

  200. jonasw

    MattJ, aw, pity

  201. jonasw

    I’ll try annoying folks in iteam@

  202. Guus

    ah, yeah. We have Jitsi Meet as an Openfire plugin.

  203. MattJ

    Technically iteam doesn't manage jabber.org, but there is, umm, significant overlap...

  204. jonasw

    yupp :)

  205. jonasw

    (checked the volunteers site on jabber.org, found half of iteam there :))

  206. jonasw

    so now I’m abusing the better signal/noise ratio in that room for my cause!

  207. Alex has left

  208. jonasw

    on a different but related note: I launched https://muclumbus.jabbercat.org/ into public beta today. It’s a replacement for http://search.wensley.org.uk/ . criticism, improvement suggestions, bug reports etc. welcome

  209. jonasw

    on a different but related note: I launched https://muclumbus.jabbercat.org/ into public beta today. It’s a replacement for http://search.wensley.org.uk/ , so it’s a "search engine" and listing service for public MUCs . criticism, improvement suggestions, bug reports etc. welcome

  255. Andrew Nenakhov

  256. muppeth

    jonasw for servers/rooms supporting muc vcard would be nice to include that in the room stats.

  261. Holger

    Ge0rG will never forget that.

  262. Andrew Nenakhov

    Yes, we replaced those too and implemented them in forked ejabberd

  263. Andrew Nenakhov

    Just not supported in clients yet

  264. Ge0rG

    Holger: feel free to provide me with a bettter example of XMPP vaporware. MIX doesn't count.

  265. Andrew Nenakhov

    Groupchat is a much easier problem.

  266. Ge0rG

    Except it's not.

  267. Kev

    It's an easy problem. It's the solutions that are easy to get wrong :D

  268. Andrew Nenakhov

    It is. You might join our group chat when now.

  273. Holger

  274. Ge0rG

    Holger: the drama is about to making empty promises for years about a feature that's really needed for mobile clients.

  275. Ge0rG

    Holger: it's got its rough edges, but it works much better than not having it.

  276. Holger

    Yeah, they've been busy with other stuff.

  277. Kev

    Who hasn't?

  278. Link Mauve has joined

    ...or reliable message delivery.

  283. Andrew Nenakhov

    Actually, we do have progress on this front too.

  284. Andrew Nenakhov

    ;)

  285. Ge0rG

    Andrew Nenakhov: I'm curious to see your design

  286. Andrew Nenakhov

    Ok

  287. Andrew Nenakhov

    Give me a minute

  288. rtq3 has left

  289. jubalh has joined

  290. Andrew Nenakhov

    Ge0rG, add xsf@xmppdev01.xabber.com to your contact list

  291. Ge0rG

    Andrew Nenakhov: what will happen then?

  292. Andrew Nenakhov

    You'll be in our group chat

  293. Andrew Nenakhov

    Best accessed with Xabber for Web, https://web.xabber.com/develop/

  294. Andrew Nenakhov

    But we've added backwards compatibility for old clients too.

  295. Ge0rG

    Andrew Nenakhov: I'm interested in the protocol design :)

  296. Andrew Nenakhov

    Document is in Russian, will take some time to translate

  297. Andrew Nenakhov

    But basic idea is simple

  298. Zash has left

  299. Ge0rG

    Andrew Nenakhov: I can handle Russian

  300. Andrew Nenakhov

    Member sends message to jid of group chat, server resends it to other members

  301. Ge0rG

    That sounds like GC1 ;)

  302. Andrew Nenakhov

    For old clients it adds line with name of sender, like, GeOrG: Whatever

  303. Andrew Nenakhov

    > That sounds like GC1 ;) I actually didn't find specification for that

  304. Andrew Nenakhov

    Only mention in muc-0045

  305. Wiktor

    What is received by new clients? is there an extra xml?

  306. Andrew Nenakhov

    But yeah, so far we didn't encounter anything that would be game breaking by this approach

  307. la|r|ma has joined

  308. Andrew Nenakhov

    Wiktor, yes

  309. jonasw has joined

  310. moparisthebest has joined

  311. Wiktor

    Sounds interesting, and simple, also looking forward for the spec

  312. Andrew Nenakhov

    Every message is accompanied by jid of sender, and his avatar hash

  313. Andrew Nenakhov

    Server also fetches username and avatar from members vCards

  314. Andrew Nenakhov

    User can replace them

  315. Andrew Nenakhov

    Also server sends a specially formatted presences so clients can differentiate group chats from regular contacts

  316. Wiktor

    why wasn't resource part of JID reused as a nick? so that this group chat was somehow distinguished from 1:1 chats?

  317. Andrew Nenakhov

    Because we didn't think it is necessary )

  318. Wiktor

    got it :)

  319. Andrew Nenakhov

    And also too many ears were fought on this issue

  320. jonasw

    goffi, re querying muclumbus via XMPP: not yet, but that’s on my todo

  321. Ge0rG

    Andrew Nenakhov: do you have a (Russian) spec you can share?

  322. jonasw

    Ge0rG, many MUCs don’t publish a description, that’s why there is no info

  323. Alex has joined

  324. jonasw

    Ge0rG, regarding using the room name, many of the top 25 MUCs have a horrible room name (e.g. room name == description); I haven’t found a layout which makes that look nice. I have the data though.

  325. goffi

    jonasw: cool

  326. jonasw

    muppeth, could you be more specific regarding the vcard thing? I am reluctant adding third party images on the listing because of the huge potential for abuse.

  327. Andrew Nenakhov

    Ge0rG, I can share it tomorrow if you don't mind. Too many dirt right now,

  328. jonasw

    Ge0rG, maybe ellipsizing the room name after 50 characters or something would, but meh.

  329. Andrew Nenakhov

    We do a room name and separate jid. Jby default client is doing a slug of group name, but it can be redefined

  330. Ge0rG

    jonasw: yeah, name, description and topic are handled in weird ways. I still think we should promote the name, and my favorite layout would be: > Room Name (jid@domain) > romm description (if different from room name)

  331. jonasw

    that looks awful, trust me

  332. Ge0rG

    Andrew Nenakhov: slug-of-groupname is a great way.

  333. rion has left

  334. Ge0rG

    jonasw: one day you'll end up with uuid MUC JIDs.

  335. jonasw

    there are a few already :)

  336. Kev

    Swift generates those.

  337. Ge0rG

    Kev: for public MUCs as well?

  338. Kev

    Of course not :)

  339. jonasw

    this is luckily public MUCs only :)

  340. jonasw

    Ge0rG, hm, reverting to the current layout for room name == room description could work though

  341. andy has joined

  342. Ge0rG

    jonasw: I agree with you that most people can't properly define the room name.

  343. Ge0rG

    There is a bunch of positive exceptions, though.

  344. jonasw

    Ge0rG, really bad is the case for kuketzblog, which has no description, but a string which should be the description as name

  345. SaltyBones has left

  346. jonasw

    Kev, while you’re here, can you fix the room name for this room please?

  347. jonasw

    it is equivalent to the subject

  348. Andrew Nenakhov has joined

  349. Ge0rG

    I think it's symptomatic for the XSF to not be able to properly apply our own standards.

  360. Ge0rG

    "XMPP Standards Foundation"

  367. Ge0rG

    jonasw: thanks! nitpick: name of conversations@conference.siacs.eu is "Conversations", so not strictly equall

    Ge0rG, the about page tells you it takes something about one hour

  376. jonasw

    Wiktor, I’m considering hiding the JIDs in case there is a name, but then I’ll have to consider how to handle matches inside the JID in the search list

  377. Wiktor

    personally I would move online users count closer to the name / description. On bigger screens it's hard to read the room name description and count without excessive eye movements :) maybe that's just me :)

  378. Wiktor

    one way or another big 👍, this service is really good

  379. jonasw

    thanks

  380. jonasw

    regarding the online user positioning, I don’t think there’s a good way for that since this is a table :/

  381. jonasw

    (and I don’t want to move the online count into the text field because it’ll be hard to discover it)

  382. Wiktor

    yeah, I mean on mobile the data is compressed and it looks good, on laptop the important info (user count) is far away

  383. jonasw

    on my laptop it’s fine

  384. Ge0rG

    Have the number to the left

  385. jonasw

    Ge0rG, would have to trick CSS to make that happen

  386. jonasw

    not sure if browsers support that

  387. Ge0rG

    jonasw: what about reordering the table items? Too easy?

  388. jonasw

  453. edhelas

    muc#roominfo_pubsub, it's not specified in the XEP where this is exposed when set, it would be nice to say that somewhere

    Well I see no real problem with the PubSub-like syntax except that it misleads people to believe they could use a standard PubSub component to implement an app server.

  579. Ge0rG

    It's misleading and it's adding overhead to understanding the protocol

  580. Ge0rG

    And it isn't even actual PubSub.

  581. Holger

    I agree, but the question is whether cleaning this up is worth the compat foo you run into.

  582. jubalh has joined

  583. Holger

    Then again the number of public app servers isn't too large I guess ...

  584. Ge0rG

  585. Holger

    Er what?

  586. Ge0rG

  594. Ge0rG

    legacy push installations remain as is

    legacy authors sick of the pseudo-pubsub switch to the new protocol on a separate host name.

  596. Ge0rG

  597. Ge0rG

    at least it doesn't have a siacs namespace.

  603. Zash

    Rough consensus and running code?

  606. marmistrz has left

  607. Holger

    Ge0rG: As for the syntax issue, you then need to decide whether to stick to (non-PubSub) IQs or rely on https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0357.html#sect-idm140285094926944 for error processing.

  608. Ge0rG

    Unfortunately, that first mention is in §1 Introduction.

  609. Holger

    Yes that §1 'Note:' is insane.

  610. MattJ

    Ge0rG, in the simple-protocol world, what would your next steps be? How would you implement your app server?

  611. Holger

    Ge0rG: Purging that 'Note:' would be a good first step IMO.

  612. Zash

    PubSub supports added payloads in the notification, at least for a <body>

  613. Ge0rG

    MattJ: I don't understand the current XEP enough to make proper suggestions.

  614. Ge0rG

    Probably actually implementing the protocol will improve my understanding enough to pinpoint the issues other develoeprs are highlighting for a year or so.

  615. Ge0rG

    > The full process for enabling notifications requires initializing two separate push services: between the App Client and App Server, and between the App Server and the user's XMPP server. The XEP isn't actually helpful in making its point, either.

    From reading that, it appears to say that every message added to the archive should generate a push? (i.e. almost every chat message)

  680. MattJ

    Is it meant to imply that's only for when the client is offline?

  681. Ge0rG

    MattJ: that implies the question what "offline" exactly means.

  682. Ge0rG

    I think we can agree that we need a push when the client is in 0198 hibernated state. But what if our server stack hasn't noticed a client hibernation event yet?

    I've been thinking about pinging more aggressively after an "important" stanza was sent to a client

    The offline one is the first

  690. MattJ

    So to clarify, you're saying it should send the message via push even if it believes the client is actively connected?

  691. daniel

    Only if you haven't received the ack

  692. daniel

    What Holger said basically

  693. MattJ

    Ok, just your business rules don't mention anything about acks

  694. vanitasvitae has left

  695. MattJ

    It makes it seem like the push is unconditionally sent for any message that gets added to the archive

  696. daniel

    right. yeah that should be clarified. for each push token only one of (a), (b) or (c) applies

  697. Zash

    Don't it send when CSI is on as well

  698. Ge0rG

    Don't send the push? Why not?

  699. lskdjf has joined

  700. daniel

    right. or only for stanzas that actually move down stream

  701. Ge0rG

    I mean, I'd assume you should send a push whenever a CSI queue flush happens

  702. daniel

    not for those held back by csi

  703. Kev

    Surely you want to push especially when CSI is active?

  704. Zash

    Ge0rG: Send all the time, for every stanza!!!

  705. Kev

    Because then the user gets to see the notification and can bring their client up to view it.

  706. Zash

    Doesn't it* maybe

  707. daniel

    Anyway Holger or Tilo are probably the better people to write it down having actually implemented it

  708. MattJ

    Kev, you mean "inactive"? :)

  709. daniel

    I mean I still have it in my head somewhere but I might be forgetting details

  710. Kev

    When the client is inactive, when CSI is active.

  711. Kev

    Whatever.

  712. Ge0rG

    Kev: would you mind giving the XEP over to Holger so we can clean up the mess?

  713. Zash

    Moar ambiguous!

  714. Ge0rG

    And by "we" I mean "he" :>

  715. Kev

    Ge0rG: Patches welcome.

  716. Ge0rG

    Holger: ^

  717. Kev

    I think the basic logic is "Wait a bit after a stanza, see if you get an ack from the client, if you don't then send a push notif", right?

  718. Holger

    Kev: My impression was that you're not happy with business rules.

  719. Holger

    Kev: https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2017-May/032701.html

  720. Kev

    I think I said that I was in favour of them, just not normative, didn't I?

  721. Kev heads off to check what he wrote.

  722. Kev

    Yes, I did :)

  724. mrdoctorwho has left

  726. Holger

    Another thing that needs addressing is the "ChatSecure case" where the app server basically wants to know whether the notification was triggered by a human-readable message or not.

  727. Holger

    Or some per-client configuration to limit notifications to only specific types of stanzas.

  728. Ge0rG

    Holger: what kind of non-human-readable events should trigger push?

  729. Holger

    Chris suggested this: https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2017-July/033085.html

  730. Ge0rG

    There is really no excuse for low-priority pushes.

  731. Holger

    Ge0rG: Jingle calls, any other IQs, or if you try to keep a 0198 session alive, actually any stanza.

  732. Zash

    Cache stuff maybe?

  733. Ge0rG

    Holger: jingle calls are high prio

  734. Holger

    Then again you could argue that keeping the session alive is an ugly hack that needs to be fixed anyway.

  735. Zash

    Like disco

  736. Ge0rG

    the only excuse I can see is "okay client, I haven't heard of you in a day now, and I have those 10000000 stanzas for you in my 0198 queue. Please come and fetch them any time soon"

  737. andrey.g has left

  738. Holger

    Ge0rG: Yes, except that I will do this with a way lower number of stanzas.

  739. Kev

    Ge0rG: Why not just drop the stanzas?

  740. Kev

    At that point you're almost guaranteed most are stale.

  741. Ge0rG

    Kev: because the Gods of XMPP will be mad.

  742. Holger

    Ge0rG: So IQs should just time out?

  743. Ge0rG

    Kev: you can't simply drop stanzas from mid-stream, you'd have to terminate the 0198 hibernated session.

  744. Kev

    Yes, that's what I mean.

  745. Ge0rG

    Holger: I have no easy answer to that.

  746. Holger

    Ge0rG: Sending clients should cope with such timeouts? (Currently they don't.)

  747. Holger

    Ah.

  748. Ge0rG

    Holger: somebody should write Business Rules.

  749. mimi89999 has left

  750. Ge0rG

    Holger: the path of least breakage would be to low-prio-push the client on an incoming IQ, yes. The better long-term solution would be to respond from the server.

  751. Ge0rG

    Maybe a mid-way would be to kill the 0198 zombie on an incoming full-JID IQ ;)

  752. Valerian has left

  753. Holger

    Long-term I'd ditch the 0198 session.

  754. Valerian has joined

  755. Holger

    Right now we this will break notifications for MUC messages.

  756. Ge0rG

    Holger: but session establishment is expensive

  757. Holger

    That should be fixed.

  758. Ge0rG

    In addition to roster versioning, we'd need presence versioning.

  759. Holger

    I think Kev argued that way and I agree on this.

  760. Holger

    But I'd like to make push notifications work before the year 2025 and I think we need the 0198 hack until then.

  761. Ge0rG

    I think somebody proposed to treat XMPP IM as a database synchronization problem, some time ago

  762. Ge0rG

    Holger: I agree

  763. Kev

    By the 198 hack, do you mean sending of <r/> or killing sessions?

  764. Holger

    Kev: Keeping sessions alive for disconnected push clients.

  765. Ge0rG

    So yes, I'm convinced we need two push priority types.

  766. Holger

    Kev: Mostly to get MUC notifications.

  767. daniel

    > I think somebody proposed to treat XMPP IM as a database synchronization problem, some time ago Isn't that matrix?

  768. Kev

    Sorry, I've suddenly realised I've missed a whole part of this.

  769. Kev

    Ah, MUC, right.

  770. Kev

    Yes, MUC doesn't work with multi-client. We should replace it. Let's call the replacement MIX )

  771. Kev

    :)

  772. Ge0rG

    daniel: I didn't say *distributed* database sync.

  773. Holger

    An alternative might be implementing some other hack to keep you joined.

  774. goffi has left

  775. Holger

    Kev: "But I'd like to make push notifications work before the year 2025"

  776. Ge0rG

    Kev: yes, let's also add a dozen of unrelated features into it to make it hard to implement.

  777. Kev

    I don't think anything in it is unrelated :)

  778. Kev

    But yes, we don't have MIX right now. Hacks until then seems likely.

  779. Ge0rG

    Are there any experience values on the delivery jitter of low-prio pushes on iOS? They are deemed "unreliable"

  780. goffi has joined

  781. Holger

    Ge0rG: Seems to vary a lot. I think it depends on things such as the current battery level, on the notification rate, on how frequently you use the app, on the moon and who knows what.

  782. Zash has left

  783. Ge0rG

    Holger: let me rephrase my question: is the median latency of low-prio push sufficient to obtain IQ results without the remote side timing out, typically?

  784. Holger

    Ge0rG: I.e. on some devices, silent notifications seem mostly reliable; other users seem to never receive them; others are in between.

    Is there some kind of distribution curve on the notifications that do arrive?

  792. Holger

    Ge0rG: Dunno numbers, but either way you can't rely on it. So ejabberd actually won't let low-prio pushes trigger a timeout of the pending 0198 session. But yes the IQ will time out.

  793. Dave Cridland has left

  794. Kev

    daniel / Holger: To check I understand, the rules here are basically: * Make sure the server has a list of all clients/push requirements and a map from these to sessions * On a new pushable event, send for everything that doesn't have a session, or where the session isn't sufficiently responsive And that's the crux of it?

  795. daniel

  796. Valerian has left

  797. Valerian has joined

    chat@dino.im IIRC

  859. jonasw

    this is weird

  860. Ge0rG

    It is. And the domain isn't even a MUC domain, breaking poezio's MUC discovery.

  861. jonasw

  862. jonasw

    not only poezios

  863. MattJ

  881. jonasw

    Ge0rG, you might wanna destroy dino@chat.yax.im btw

  882. Ge0rG

    There really is no reason to allow joining a bare JID MUC, or to have a MUC on a non-MUC domain.

  883. jonasw

    Ge0rG, I agree on the former, but not necessarily on the latter

  886. Ge0rG

    Okay, it's breaking assumptions that need to be shaken up from time to time. But I'm pretty sure we have enough corner cases for client devs to care about, without adding such oddities

  887. Zash

    Is there really anything in the protocol that forbids it tho?

  888. Ge0rG

    No.

  889. jonasw

    if the disco#items were correct (i.e. contained the MUC), it might be okay actually

  890. Zash

    jonasw, that's what I was referring to for fixing

  891. jonasw

    yeah

  892. jonasw

  893. jonasw

    I’m scared though what’ll happen when conference.jabber.org is fixed.

  982. jonasw

    > For data forms of type "form", each <field/> element SHOULD possess a 'type' attribute that defines the data "type" of the field data (if no 'type' is specified, the default is "text-single"); fields provided in the context of other forms types MAY possess a 'type' attribute as well.

    bear: why so? (I do not know the story)

  1171. Zash

    The tale

  1172. bear

    the membership application didn't used to have a real name part, and I go by "bear" everywhere including email

  1173. j.r has joined

  1174. bear

    so when I forgot to update my application people properly didn't vote for me to stay as a member

  1175. bear

    my application had "Mike Taylor" IIRC and some folks were not making the connection - trying to remember all of the details

  1176. j.r has joined

  1177. Seve/SouL

    bear: ohh I completely understand. I'm glad to know it went like this and not in a bad way heh :)

  1178. Seve/SouL

    Thanks for explaining!
