XSF Discussion - 2019-07-15

lovetox, Daniel, https://github.com/horazont/muchopper/issues/3

Nice updates from Lance! - https://github.com/legastero/stanza/issues/253#issuecomment-511376612 -> https://github.com/legastero/stanza/blob/master/docs/Supported_XEP_Formats.md, if your projects have not, do not forget to add it - https://github.com/legastero/stanza/issues/295#issuecomment-511376975 <- SCRAM-SHA-256...

Someone knows if M-Link supports SCRAM-SHA-256(-PLUS)? https://www.isode.com/whitepapers/scram.html "SCRAM is designed to be used with any hash algorithm, and so can evolve with improving cryptography. The first generation of SCRAM deployment is being used in conjunction with SHA-1, and migration to SHA-256 is anticipated."

Please inform me if your projects are not in this list, and if there are improvements: https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/2742#issuecomment-451468219 Thanks in advance :)

sooo anyone oposed if we move the jdev chat to xmpp.org?

no

I’m in favour

Is there a point?

conference.jabber.org is not reachable with modern libssl

because the DH key is too small

and conference.jabber.org is not indexable/disco#items-able with compliant implementations because it has MUC rooms with invalid JIDs

(which is why jdev isn’t listed on search.jabbercat.org for example)

And is Peter aware of the issue?

yes

I made them aware of the invalid JIDs a year back or so

And?

I mean the other thing.

I didn’t bother after the lack of action after the invalid JIDs to be honest

also, I think there’s some work in progress to move c.j.o to a different server implementation

So the move would fix the issues?

In any case, jdev is just a room somewhere. If people stop chatting there and go elsewhere, that's it. It isn't an XSF activity per se.

I'd have expected the discussion over there, not here.

Well some people can't

because of DH issues

Which, maybe, is being looked into?

maybe? It's been a few weeks/months already

pep. so did you contact Peter then?

I don't have the issue personally

Me neither, but that seems like a good first step. Either directly or on the jdev mailing list.

He's been contacted by jonas’ iirc

He just said he didn't bother

About the MUC issue, not the DH issue.

ralphm, peter was contacted

and is aware, but there is no immediate plan to fix anything

Also server has no MAM

so yes setting the server up new will solve most problem, but thats a big IF, seeing that the situation is not ok for a long time

i proposed xmpp.org not because XSF is here, but because the server is maintained by MattJ, and the server right now fullfills everything one wants from a MUC service

I didn't hear about it before, but might have missed it.

we can still wait a week maybe stpeter proposes some timeline, and if its in the near future like a month i would not bother switching server

And sure, things not working or features missing that are kind of expected today, makes for good reasons to change

lovetox: how was it raised? I didn't see an email about this.

i wrote him a email personally

Ah

Was this recent?

i didnt see the need to raise this in public, as he is the only admin?

yes on 9 july 2019

Well, yes and no. There are more people involved, but he's the main contact indeed

thats why i proposed to still wait a week

maybe he is swampd with work

And it is holiday season.

Not sure if a week is sufficient to get things resolved if it was only really raised less than a week ago.

hm i dont expect things to be resolved in a week

i just asked if there is a plan/timeline

as i said i dont bother going through switching a well known muc if i know its ok in 2 months

but if its 6 months, then i would siwtch

actually fixing the DH issue would give us some more time

Right
