dwd, piggybacking? what do you mean by that?

Flow, multiplexing s2s sessions onto the same connection.

dwd, like not establishing additional streams for e.g. the muc component muc.example.org if there is already a strema to example.org?

That, yes. In one or both directions.

dwd, how does that work with dialback? is the process specified somewhere? wouldn't that also work with SASL EXTERNAL?

flow, only if the certificate is valid for all the names

Today I had a really weird bug report about yaxim removing a room from the room list right after joining, but the user still being in the room. It turned out that the MUC was on the user's roster, which misled all the JID based lookups.

Can't we do something against MUCs in the roster?

1. when you join a MUC, also send a roster remove IQ to your server 2. periodically, when using the radio anyway, scan all roster items disco#info where you haven’t received disco#info directly or indirectly ('115, '390) in the recent past and remove them if they are MUCs

I'm sure somebody will complain about my client automatically removing rooms from the roster

Or do we wanna go back to allowing groupchats in rosters?

Zash: but why?

I mean, besides of another way to name them, and maybe because of roster groups

Because we only have 3 different ways to organize groupchats, we need more!

larma: file-metadata needs that image hash thing, blurhash?

+1 blurhash

You can use thumbnail with data uri using image file format of your choice as long as it has a media type.

I suppose you aaaaalmost get there with a low-quality 8x8 px jpeg

no

tried that

you don’t get close, neither in quality nor in file size

obvious solution: blurhash needs a media type

heh

image/jpeg-without-boilerplate

Other obvious solution: make a blurhash XEP.

problem isn’t boilerplate ✏

or jpeg

the problem is that blurhash renders much more smoothly because it is optimized for few samples and uses a very different interpolation scheme

standard image libraries won’t give you that from jpeg ✏

website / editor wishlist: dark mode

Zash, pull a number

github doesn't respect dark mode either

pull a number! ;D
