dwdSo odd question, but does anyone know what the state of xmpphp is?
jonas’"awful"
jonas’no wait
jonas’I got confused
jonas’I have no idea.
dwdWell, yes, it's PHP.

dwdWhat I'm looking for is a way of writing a component in PHP - I'm bound to a library written in PHP, in case you wonder. Has anyone tried this recently?
jonas’dwd, maybe the movim folks?
ZashI hear long-lived PHP processes are great!
dwdNo, edhelas seems to have a (quite reasonable) library, but it's C2S over websockets I think.
Zash/s
dwdZash, It's not like I have much of a choice, unless I reverse engineer the PHP library, which is not much fun either.

Link Mauvedwd, no, it’s normal c2s.
Link MauveThe websocket part of Movim is for a custom protocol between its client-side (web) part and the PHP thing.
!xsf_martinhas joined
dwdOh, it talked of removing BOSH for WebSocket.
Link MauveIt actually removed both.
dwdGasp.
Link MauveJust normal TLS nowadays.
Link MauveJust normal TCP nowadays.
dwdOK, so I could take one of the three (!) XMPP libraries I've found in PHP and hack component support into it, I suppose.
ZashHeh, didn't we discuss s2s over BOSH once?
Ge0rGdwd: have a node.js web service in the backend spoken to by the PHP library :P

moparisthebestdwd, iirc the whole nextcloud chat thing has a full fledged xmpp server written in PHP, just without federation so far
moparisthebestat least I know it was that way in the nearish past
dwdThat's a bizarre choice to make. Why on earth didn't they repackage an existing one?
pep.dwd: edhelas actually merged his c2s lib into movim not so long ago. Maybe it's worth getting out again.
Zash"This is your brain on PHP"
pep.He was also looking into writing components for other things iirc, not sure what he's going to use
dwdpep., You can get at it via the Composer, which is sort of PHP's package manager thing.
pep.Maybe it's an older version then?

moparisthebestpep., j.r , you know in the not-too-distant past when a dedicated server or VPS was expensive but you could get FTP access to upload PHP files to run on some remote multi-user machine?
moparisthebestguess they still want to support that kind of thing, I'm assuming that's the only reason anyone ever writes PHP
pep.I guess that's how it all started, I'm not sure what statred first though, the PHP hosting or the PHP devs :p
ZashDoesn't >50% of the web still run wordpress?

SamWhitedIn case anyone is interested, on HN someone was complaining about this page being out of date, so I started updating it (added OMEMO, removed a bunch of old mechanisms that no one cares about, added clear recommendations):
SamWhitedPlease feel free to jump in; the table also needs updating but I am struggling with this wiki format
SamWhitedAnd there is probably more important stuff I don't know about
marchas left
Zashpandoc, the best thing ever, can generate mediawiki format ;)
pep.SamWhited, for OTR I would add the transport use-case in recommentations
marchas joined
pep.As in, you don't need protocol knowledge to use it, shove that into <body/> (:() and you're done
SamWhitedDoes anyone care about transports enough to make that useful information? (serious question, I have no idea; I know the Matrix people like to advertise them, but I'm not sure how widely they're developed or used)
pep.I am not an e2ee user, but I know a few users still using OTR because of that
SamWhited"a few users" probably doesn't mean we should keep recommending OTR though, personally I want it to die in a fire though, so maybe I'm just projecting that onto what I think the recommendations should be
pep.We all have our own bubble right :)
SamWhitedActually, SCIMP probably doesn't need to be on there either. Is there a single implementation that's not whatever their client is?
pep.I never heard of SCIMP before
SamWhitedyah, me neither until I saw this page
pep.Also what about MLS? Do we want to "pre-list" it in there?
ZashIs that the RFC thing?
pep.yeah
ZashSCIMP
dwdInternet Draft right now.
SamWhitedI wouldn't link an untried RFC with no implementations personally, seems like it's just muddying the waters.
pep.Also OX
pep.That should probably be listed alongside OMEMO
SamWhitedI guess we could put it on their as "future work, recommendation: watch" or something
pep.Though I don't have actual knowledge on that either
dwdSamWhited, I think MLS will take over everything, eventually. I was working on a XEP for it, but it's a little too much in flux right now.

SamWhitedI'll believe it when I see it

SamWhitedI'm worried about having yet another complicated protocol and generally don't trust the IETF with this sort of thing, but also it seems like something that should be done there and not by us so we'll see I guess
SamWhitedBut I still haven't done anything but glance through it, so grain of salt I guess
dwdYou don't trust the IETF? In what way?

genofirehas left
SamWhitedI just generally think they overengineer everything and pick use cases that are way too general
dwdWell, in this case, the use-case is handling groups of participants with e2ee. Seems OK to me.
SamWhitedBut I'd also rather see them developing something than every random company going it solo
Marandahas joined
dwdA lot of CPIM and so on was actually our fault. Or SIP's, depending on how you look at it. Either way, the industry was split and couldn't really pick a standard. The result has been no standard.
SamWhitedRight, now we have OMEMO which is starting to gain adoption and are developing another standard. Things haven't changed much.
dedekinhas left
dedekinhas joined
ZashExcept OMEMO is in a weird state too
labdsfhas joined
SamWhitedIt's true.
moparisthebestat the moment, whether anyone wants to accept it or not, it's whatever Conversations decides to implement will win
ZashConversations is the new Internet Explorer \o/
pep.Zash, that's harsh, but I see where you want to go
Zashor Chrome
SamWhitedor Netscape
ZashI suppose Pidgin might be the IE
SamWhitedBut I don't think that's entirely true; Conversations may drive a lot of development, but as long as they do it in the open with community involvement it's probably okay
j.r> I suppose Pidgin might be the IE
+1
dwdRight. The current spec doesn't even reference the Signal spec needed to implement.
intosihas joined
SamWhitedI agree OMEMO has problems, but they seem fixable. Seems like we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater if we start over.
SamWhitedThen again, maybe it's better enough to justify that, I just don't know.
dwdWell, OMEMO really doesn't scale well for chatrooms, whereas MLS does.
labdsfhas joined
dwdSo depends if you want >10K scaling in pubsub and chatrooms, I suppose.
matlaghas left
matlaghas joined
SamWhitedYah, maybe that's enough of a reason; I'm just scared of throwing out all the progress we've made again
SamWhitedBut that is a pretty good one if it can really scale that well
dwdI must make sure my sketch-design for offline/non-escrow encrypted archives still works after the last major changes, though. I think it does.
pep.I guess that's only a corporate use-case, >10K people in a single chatroom, because I've never seen/heard of that in the wild
pep.Or maybe we're planning for when XMPP becomes great again
labdsfhas joined
dwdpep., Sure, but OMEMO won't really scale well enough for, say, xsf@ or jdev@.
SamWhitedBack to the wiki: is OX XEP-0374? It doesn't appear to have been worked on in a while, is it worth including? Are there many implementations?
dwdSamWhited, Smack does it I think. Not sure how many clients use it.
karphas left
karphas joined
dwdSamWhited, Most use the OMEMO/Signal plugin for that, even when they're not GPL clients, which is hella-awks.
pep.SamWhited, that's the one
SamWhitedThanks; doesn't seem worth including if nothing uses it
pep.The good thing compared to OMEMO is that container
SamWhited(nothing end user visible, I mean; it's neat that Smack does it)
dwdSamWhited, I'd actually appreciate all the historic and aborted attempts being documented.
pep.That includes more than just <body/>
Steve Killehas joined
dwdpep., Right, but eSessions had that a decade ago.
pep.dwd, sure
pep.I was also wondering why OMEMO didn't use it
dwdpep., And, I think, did it in such a way it was reusable.
Zash(nice features, widely used) pick one
dwdZash, I'm not convinced OX is all about nice features, mind.
pep.dwd, I'm not arguing for OX per se
pep.(I'm not arguing at all)
danielhas left
dwdIs this the right room for an argument?
pep.No idea, but we don't have to figure this out if it isn't one :)
dwdRight, but actually, it's "No argument, only implementation in a popular client".

ZashNo agreement, only implement!
SamWhitedPartially filled in OMEMO in the table; didn't do the crypto properties because I couldn't remember off the top of my head

SamWhitedI think everyone just calls everything that looks like Slack/Watsapp formatting "markdown" even if it's not
SamWhitedIt's very confusing
ZashI fear this confusion will eventually lead someone to use a generic markdown library (with html passthrough enabled by default) and then the sky falls.
labdsfhas left
SamWhitedIf they did that it wouldn't be compatible at all and their formatting wouldn't be the same, so I suspect they'd nontice
SamWhitedI suppose it's possible they wouldn't notice, at least some of the styles are the same, but I suspect someone would want bold or italic or whichever isn't the same and notice
