XSF Discussion - 2021-06-04

advise an xmpp client with a torrent connection and a focus on security

and recommend an xmpp server)

jjjsssfff123, this is not a user support channel.

What channel is this?

this? this is the place to discuss development of the documents which govern how XMPP works under the hood.

It would be neat to have a XEP for file transfer via bittorrent 🙂

magnet: in an OOB payload?

Zash: you mean "send a magnet"?

Pretty much

but careful with those pacemakers when you throw magnets

Could throw in some HTTP Upload powered web-seeding.

yum, for sending to MUCs

also exposes all IP addresses of all MUC occupants immediately

jonas’: that's only a problem in Germany's C&D situation

Ge0rG, privacy?!

</s>

Zash: but yes, doing httpupload + a magnet and webseeding is a nice touch

The issue would be to do ipc between the torrent client and the xmpp client

We are about to release the next XMPP Newsletter by tomorrow. If there are more voluteers to review read, that would be really appriciated: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/919

emus: is there a rendered version?

marc: there isn't. But you could put it into a markdown parser of your choice, I guess

or attempt to build the website locally

marc: what zash says. click on Files and then there is a preview button

Okay, thanks

This seems like a perfectly reasonable channel to ask for client recommendations on. This is the whole xsf, not just spec work. Not to mention that basically every client dev will be in this room.

I basically like the idea to have a go to MUC in XMPP

I don't know if this MUC should or should not be that, but until we know or have one let's not turn people away without an answer and be off topic police unless they're being disruptive.

I think is fine to have this topic for XSF. Many people cannot deal with that technical or organisational level sonetimes. Maybe what we are talking about is a newcomer chat. No agenda apart from exchange an support on XMPP where possible

User community/support is exactly what jabber@ used to be (and the MUC still exists, it's just not easily discoverable)

I was about to say that :)

It's where I first joined the community, at least, and probably many others

psi@conference.psi-im.org for me, I think, and then jdev@

MattJ, Kev: How can discovery be improved? Or what needs to be changed?

if only we had tags on MUCs

jonas’: so this muc is actually tagged?

no

but it could be done?

what is the xep for tags?

Sorry, what was the full ID of this MUC?

jabber@ ?

emus: xsf@muc.xmpp.org

nono, see the recent discussion ^
