    Tobias: I was looking at XEP-0385 (Stateless Inline Media Sharing). Have you considered sending multiple media files at once? Would it be supported by adding additional <file/> elements?

    WOuldn't that be multiple <media-sharing/> elements? Or maybe even references depending.

  258. Tobias

    Multiple messages, multiple media-sharing or multiple file

  259. Tobias

    That probably needs to be specified

  261. lskdjf has joined

  262. Str4tocaster has left

  263. Str4tocaster has joined

  288. ralphm

    Sure, I'd prefer a single message in my use case

  289. Ge0rG

    I'd prefer a single message to carry multiple 0184 delivery receipts, but that's not what the XEP allows...

  290. ralphm

    I'm a bit surprised also by the use of XEP-0372 References here. In my thinking, References was meant to annotate a previous message. This seems to leave off the uri attribute to refer to the current one. I think that use case has not been properly defined.

  291. ralphm

    In fact, in my use case, there wouldn't necessarily be a part of the text to be reference.

  292. ralphm

    d

  293. ralphm

    More like the 'add attachment' button in many messengers.

  294. matlag has left

  295. ralphm

    Ge0rG: maybe XEP-0333 is more appropriate for you?

  296. lumi has left

  297. Ge0rG

    ralphm: I want per message receipts, but with a more efficient delivery

  298. ralphm

    I'm not sure if I can see the use case, but yeah, then that doesn't help

  299. ralphm

    Anyway, I was really looking at Tobias' spec only right now.

  302. Ge0rG

    The use case is after mam sync / fetching offline messages. You need to ack a bunch of incoming messages, and the respective payloads are just ids, wrapped into a bunch of boilerplate

    > The use case is after mam sync / fetching offline messages. You need to ack a bunch of incoming messages, and the respective payloads are just ids, wrapped into a bunch of boilerplate Ge0rG: I think we either talked about this before or I independently had the thought of just bundling multiple receipts in a single message

  363. ralphm

    Ge0rG: but XEP-0333 just marks the last one, so that covers the use case

  364. jonas’

    ralphm, no it doesn’t, because you can’t be sure that all messages between two markers actually

  365. jonas’

    ralphm, no it doesn’t, because you can’t be sure that all messages between two markers actually arrived

  366. daniel

    However in reality at least the bandwidth overhead of multiple messages vs one would be negligible if we had proper compression

  367. daniel

    We should really revisit the compression xep

  368. daniel

    And make it secure ™

  369. lorddavidiii has left

  370. ralphm

    dwd: ah, I guess the references XEP needs to point this out then. Nevertheless, it doesn't seem useful for when you don't have a particular part of the message to reference, when sending media.

  371. Zash

    Someone Should™

  372. ralphm

    jonas’: arrived at the user or at his server?

  373. Zash

    What happens if the receiving users archive acks messages when they are saved into the archive?

  394. jonas’

    I expect EXI to be more useful than generic compression in the general XMPP case actually

  395. pep.

    Without the negotiation bits? ("these are the namespaces I'll be using")

  396. Zash

    EXI is more involved tho

  397. pep.

    (Re almost exi)

  398. jonas’

    Zash, that’s true

  399. ThibG has joined

  400. daniel

    > I expect EXI to be more useful than generic compression in the general XMPP case actually But arguably a lot harder to implement

  401. jonas’

    probably

  402. Zash

    "FunXMPP" is closer to a fixed compression dictionary IIRC

  403. daniel

    Especially since the xep is apparently garbage

  404. jonas’

    if there are no ready-to-use libs

  405. jonas’

    Zash, yes, which is also what EXI does

  406. fippo

    hah. This one is much better than exi for chat! http://cvs.schmorp.de/Net-Knuddels/Net/Knuddels/Dictionary.pm?revision=1.5&view=markup

  407. Zash

    jonas’: EXI generates those from schemas tho

  408. jonas’

    Zash, true

  409. fippo

    why compress protocol when you can compress the chat message content

  410. rion has left

  411. Zash

    fippo: wut

  412. jonas’

    I sense sarcasm

  413. daniel

    But fwiw I'd love to play with exi if I can get a server dev on board

  414. Zash

    jonas’: sure hope so, since that's the opposite of what we want here

  415. alexis has left

  416. fippo

    zash: this module is not a joke even. i think the knuddels stuff came up in the late 90s, mostly in germany. they were alive until a recent databreach

  417. jonas’

    is there a lua-exi?

  418. Zash

    jonas’: nope

  419. jonas’

    pity

  420. Zash

    And EXI seems complex enough that I'd rather use a library than NIH it

  421. jonas’

    yes please

  422. jonas’

    is there even any floss implementation of EXI?

  423. pep.

    Deprecate it! It's too complex you'll never get it right! /s

  424. jonas’

    that libexi is "status: planning" on sourceforge, whatever that means

  425. Zash

    Thanks Firefox, I really did mean to go to http://EXIstentialcomics.com/

  426. daniel

    jonas’: a Java one

  427. daniel

    But that's literally the only one I believe

  428. Zash

    http://exip.sourceforge.net/ ?

  429. Kev

    daniel: I'm interested in EXI, actually, but no clue where we'd start to get something sensible (and no cycles to do anything immediately).

  430. APach has left

  431. daniel

    Compression - be it exi or an improved compression xep - would make for a good summit topic

    wasn't Arc Riley working on EXI stuff?

  434. lskdjf has joined

    Zash, Am I right in thinking Prosody has built-in support for JWT authentication for BOSH/WebSocket connections?

  453. Zash

    dwd: What makes you think that?

  454. Zash

    What does that even mean?

  455. dwd

    Zash, I was under the impression that Jitsi used something like that.

  456. dwd

    Zash, Of course, I could so easily be wrong.

  457. daniel

    Sounds like an reasonable approach to 'fixing' that xep

  458. Guus

    dwd: Jitsi might have added custom code (it did so for a number of things, iirc)

  459. dwd

    Seems to have, indeed.

  460. Guus

    dwd: https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/tokens.md

  461. Guus

    that's likely it

  462. dwd

    Yeah, I just found that myself.

  463. ralphm

    Isn't the issue with compression and encryption that a MiM can inject bits of information in messages going to an entity that are sure to be returned, to learn about the dictionary?

  464. Zash

    ralphm: Yes, like iq id attributes.

  465. dwd

    ralphm, Sorta. Compression oracles work by inserting known plaintext into a compression stream. So in our case, the compression stream is the entire session, so an attacker just sends messages to see if they can guess what's been sent before.

  466. Zash

    ralphm: If you flush between stanzas, that goes away

  467. APach has joined

  468. dwd

    ralphm, But an attacker has to be able to see the compressed/encrypted stream, to count octets. I've generally considered this quite a hard attack.

  469. ralphm

    like on a mobile device?

  470. Zash

    You usually need a *lot* of requests to get actual secrets out

  471. ralphm

    ok, I had no idea how practicle an attack like this is

  473. ralphm

    also, I'm particular curious about server-to-server connections in this regard

  474. Zash

    ralphm: https://blog.thijsalkema.de/blog/2014/08/07/https-attacks-and-xmpp-2-crime-and-breach/

  475. Zash

    jonas’: ha

  476. dwd

    ralphm, By which I mean, if an attacker has got to the point that they've got full access to your network traffic *and* is willing to expose themselves by sending traffic over tyour XMPP session as well, they're getting pretty desperate.

  477. jonas’

    ninja’d

  478. ralphm

    I know that document, but sure

  479. jonas’

    dwd, sending traffic to ones XMPP session is not that hard using a botnet. I get a lot of unsolicited traffic all day.

  480. jonas’

    that’s not *that* suspicious anymore

  481. dwd

    jonas’, Sure, but the attacker *also* has to have visibility over your TCP sessions.

  482. jonas’

    that’s true

  483. Zash

    But are the amounts of traffict required to do an actual attack small enough to evade admins being annoyed by the bandwidth usage?

  484. jonas’

    I wouldn’t count on admins thwarting an attack

  485. dwd

    Zash, Maybe. Depends what they're trying to discover. It'd be relatively simple to find out, for example, if you were in this MUC by sending you traffic including the room's jid. But then, it's far easier to just just the MUC and look...

    Zash, Maybe. Depends what they're trying to discover. It'd be relatively simple to find out, for example, if you were in this MUC by sending you traffic including the room's jid. But then, it's far easier to just join the MUC and look...

  487. Zash

    Another way to fix this is to have a fixed dictionary

  488. dwd

    Zash, That's not how zlib works.

  489. Zash

    dwd: There are other compression libraries

  490. Zash

    dwd: And you can sorta fake it by feeding it a dictionary before every ... chunk .. somehow.

  491. dwd

    Zash, Sure. But then you're only able to compress, say, the XML. So you'd be into EXI territory.

  492. alexis has joined

  493. Zash

    dwd: Picking say zstandard and training a dictionary on some XMPP data ought to be a lot easier to do than implementing all of EXI

  494. dwd

    Zash, Better solution of course is to use a constant-bandwidth transmission medium. :-)

  495. SamWhited

    Not necessarily, the spec could say that the dictionary must contain "@yourserver.com" or similar (assuming we want to target large rosters and assume that most people will be using the same server as their friends)

  496. Kev

    dwd: So padding all stanzas to the 1GB mark?

  497. SamWhited

    But I doubt a fixed dictionary is actually practical; interesting to think about though.

  498. Zash

    Kev: 10MB and you have a deal

  499. dwd

    Kev, No, just transmitting at a constant rate, and including padding.

  500. dwd

    Kev, It works quite well on radios. :-)

  501. Zash

    Whitespace flood instead of ping?

  502. jonas’

    like ssh does for keystrokes? :)

  503. Zash

    jonas’: REAL TIME TEXT?

  506. jjrh has joined

  507. Zash

    SamWhited: Could do something where the client downloads and caches a dictionary on connect. Then it can be tuned to the server and stuff. More complexity tho and closer to EXI

  508. Zash

    (Can you tell that I just found `zstd --train ...` ?)

  509. SamWhited

    ooh, yah, that's interesting. It would be fun to think more about what sort of policies the server could create that way

  510. Andrew Nenakhov has left

  511. jonas’

    Zash, interesting

  512. lorddavidiii has left

  513. SamWhited

    I say "policies", but I guess you don't have to target anything if you do that. Just train it on lots of streams and see what the most common stuff is.

  514. Ge0rG

    And you'll end up leaking private data in your dictionaries.

  515. lorddavidiii has joined

  516. Zash

    Trade-offs

  517. SamWhited

    So exclude bits of the stream you don't want it to see

  518. SamWhited

    Start training after stream negotiation, drop IDs, messages probably won't matter because if a phrase is reused enough it's probably not private, etc.

  519. Zash

    If we knew which bits that was, we could do nice compression.

  520. Zash

    ... and that's basically what FunXMPP is

  521. SamWhited

    Fair

  522. lskdjf has joined

  523. Zash

    Pre-defined dictionary

  524. Zash

    With common things like "<message " and such

  525. jonas’

    Zash, except with zstd, there would be a standard-ish way to translate that dictionary

  526. jonas’

    and we wouldn’t be limited to keep XML metacharacters in place

  527. jonas’

    for example, 'from="' could be one token in the dict

  528. Zash

    all known xmlns="..." etc

  529. jonas’

    yupp

    and if so, who? Last year, we extended an invitation to gsoc students. We did not participate in gsoc this year.

  583. nyco

    what was the outcome of this?

  584. Guus

    We had two students attend, iirc

  585. nyco

    how much were we attractive?

  586. Guus

    both of them are still active in the ignite realtime community

  587. j.r has left

  588. Guus

    at least one of them mentioned that he'll be going to FOSDEM again this year.

  589. nyco

    so we might wanna do it again, I'd go for it...

  590. Guus

    I kind of like the concept of doing such sponsoring, but I can't immediately identify candidates for this iteration.

  591. Guus

    Do you have suggestions for candidates?

  592. ralphm

    Let the records reflect that suggestions are welcome.

    2. Elections

  597. ralphm

    With 3 days left, the list is wanting

  598. Guus

    we're at 4 candidates for board, 3 for council. All sitting candidates, I think

  599. ralphm

    Indeed

  600. Kev

    Sorry, lagging here, but from the peanut gallery, did any of the young hopefuls remain active in the standards community, or just for a particular project?

  601. Kev

    We've moved on, nevermind. As you were.

  602. ralphm

    Kev: Guus can still answer that one.

  603. Guus

    Kev: one is still active, afaik.

  604. ralphm

    Should we be worried about Council specifically? Three people is really meager

  605. Guus

    Paul / Vanitas

  606. Kev

    It's only two, actually, with one intending to apply but hasn't yet.

  607. Kev

    I was going to take a year off, but I'll throw my hat into the ring again now.

  608. ralphm

    Kev: well, if you mean: there page isn't actually there yet, we then also only have 2 for Board. *shame*

  609. Guus

    I wonder if there are people that are inclined to run, but are hold back for some reason

  610. ralphm

    Shall I sent another reminder?

  611. nyco

    yes, please, I think

  612. ralphm

    Ok.

  613. Guus

    Well, Alex just did one?

  614. Guus shrugs

  615. ralphm

    Last Friday, yes.

  616. nyco

    today is good, because it's Thu, and still a week day

  617. ralphm

  620. Kev

    Another Council application in.

  621. Guus

    I think the relevant people now know that we have an election. I don't think it's a matter of pointing that out. Maybe we can persuade them to actually run, in some way though.

  622. nyco

    reminder at -48h, -24h, 12h, 6h, 1h, 30 min... 😉

  623. ralphm

    We haven't had one since Peter resigned this post. There's been question on needing one, and to be honest, maybe we don't.

  624. Guus

    Thanks Kev

  625. Guus

    Ralph, we briefly discussed this last week. I offered to take over from Martin, in doing an inventory of tasks/responsibilities.

  626. Guus

    which I wanted to do after we actually meet with Peter, for this and financials, which is another 'todo' that's been outstanding for to long..

  627. ralphm

    Ok

  628. nyco

    if we don't have an ED, then do we need to modify the bylaws? or we just elect a ghost ED?

  629. Guus

    I think Peter stated that he intended to resign as soon as we had a replacement.

  630. Guus

    as he's not actually doing anything in the role currently, I prefer having this status-quo over undertaking the massive operation that is rewriting the bylaws.

  631. ralphm

    What I've also seen done is that the Chair of the Board is appointed in such role in the absense of a candidate.

  632. Guus

    but, we should move on this. We should have, ages ago.

  633. ralphm

    (like in the company I currently work at)

  634. nyco

    ah I like that the chair is ED as well

  635. alexis has left

  636. nyco

    *the idea*

  637. Guus

    ralphm, if that works with our bylaws (I doubt it, for reasons), we might want to wait until next board picks a new chair then.

  638. ralphm

    Right, I'm not sure myself, it is just something that popped up.

  639. Guus

    worth considering, nonetheless.

  640. ralphm

    I think the ED is appointed by the Board, so I don't think it conflicts, but I'm happy to hear thoughts from the floor on this, before actually suggesting we do this.

  641. Kev

    ED being on Board would seem inappropriate to me, even if it's allowed.

  642. Kev

    Given the ED is used to break deadlocks in the Board.

  643. Guus

    "If the Board consists of an even number of Directors, the Executive Director of the Corporation shall be empowered to cast a tie-breaking vote (...)" complicates matters.

  644. Guus

    (what he said)

  645. ralphm

    Kev: indeed.

  646. ralphm

    The issue is that a) I haven't seen this been used in this corporation, b) I have no real other suggestions.

  647. ralphm

    But I'm happy to discuss with Guus and Peter.

  648. Guus

    Let's move on for now

  649. Guus

    *tap*tap* is this thing still on?

  650. Kev

    Everyone moved on.
