    Hi! Is there a protocol or standard for connecting a standalone XMMP server to the Internet using USB sticks? I thought of poor areas in the world or Cuba, where people have a traditional grown "offline network".

  143. kokonoe has left

  144. ralphm

    Jens Korte: I'm not aware of something fitting that description. How would this work?

  145. zach has left

    ralphm, I don't know with a new connection type between servers? I don't know the protocols

  148. kokonoe has joined

  149. remko has joined

  150. ralphm

    What I mean is: how is it supposed to work from a user's perspective?

  151. Daniel

    maybe looking at a protocol for *instant* messaging is not the right approach

  152. ralphm

    Well, I am from the time where BBS and UUCP were still the ways to share messages.

  153. ralphm

    And there's nothing about XMPP that requires instant communication patterns. Especially for messages stanzas.

  154. ralphm

    There are people working on things like https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ which are fully decentralized and can fall back to sneaketnet, but that's not based on XMPP.

  155. ralphm

    But a UUCP like model for XMPP seems feasible.

    XMPP-over-DTN hasn’t been explored much yet to my knowledge, but I’d be surprised if it had not been explored *at all*

  183. kokonoe has left

  184. ralphm

    Especially because we have entities working for military organisations.

  185. ralphm

    And then there is the ancient https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0013.html, which I don't necessarily recommend, but might address part of this.

    I had a look at XEP 0013 before, but that is not the way I mean. Scuttlebutt is new to me and quite interesting. DTN is a quite big and solid thing. I can use it only, if it is used by a software. Thx for that.

  211. ralphm

    There's some related projects around scuttlebutt

  212. Jens Korte

    I will have a look at it later. I already found it in F-Droid

    Totally.

    I think the format of Meetup (which I want to keep closer to 'friends hanging out') don’t go well with recording it. also I don’t want the pressure of having to live up to the level of quality that is required for permanently putting something on the internet.

  319. Daniel

    also if anything we'd only have audio

  320. Daniel

    i think there is a good chance that a similar talk will be given again in a more appropriate setting with better recording

    That's neat, though I feel like XMPP would be totally unsuitable for that, I could be wrong

  376. jonas’

    at the point of doing stuff like sneakernet or DTN, you’d do away with the XML stream and just wrap stanzas in bundles and send them through the network.

  377. jonas’

    the only thing left then is how to handle authn

  378. Ge0rG

    You need a very different type of user identity and routing mechanism. You could use xmpp message elements for the payload, but why?

  379. jonas’

    Ge0rG, for s2s from mars to earth

  380. jonas’

    you don’t want to do TCP over that type of link

  381. adiaholic has joined

  382. Zash

    Fancy stuff where you gotta take the positions of heavenly bodies into account. And sometimes wait for months because your destination is blocked by the sun or something.

  385. jubalh has joined

  386. Daniel

    You want sneaker net between Mars and earth? That's some insane RTT

  387. Zash

    That's basically DTN for ya

  388. Zash

    If you can handle that then you can handle dealing with the positions of cargo ships.

  394. jonas’

    ralphm, bundle as in Bundle Protocol

  395. jonas’

    RFC 5050

  396. ralphm

    Ah

  397. Jens Korte

    I can't say any useful to DTN/sneakernet, but how about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers

  398. Zash

    Not totally unlike SMTP I'm guessing?

  399. mukt2 has joined

  400. pdurbin has left

  401. Ge0rG

    jonas’: tl;dr, are the bundles signed by the sending entity?

  402. jonas’

    Ge0rG, I don’t think so in plain RFC 5050

  403. jonas’

    the WIP next iteration of the bundle protocol (Bundle Protocol 7) has some security things

  404. Zash

    Who would MITM you in space?

  405. mukt2 has left

  406. jonas’

    ah no, neither, so that must’ve been some extension to the protocol

    Zash, I guess the NSA, Russia or China will do the MITM just to make sure they get all the raw data. Am I right, a company from israel was the cheapest provider for internet in libanon? The same will happen in space with DTN, but instead of cheapest it will be because of fastest or most reliable.
