XSF Discussion - 2024-01-28

Are there any good servers to join? I checked the jabber.at list but most seem dead.

m1k3: try search.jabber.network

Oh cool, thank you

m1k3: https://providers.xmpp.net/ rather. The other one is a search engine for MUCs.

mdosch: Thank you, actually MUCs is what I wanted. I should have said that instead of servers.

Yesterday, 8:45 PM: > Thanks a lot, I'll read as soon as I'll arrive. But, ME take a look at the project anyway, may be it's not the kind you wish to participate, it's https://git.macaw.me/blue/squawk. Now master branch is very old, I've been working on encryption branch, and I'm a little bit stuck there Sure, will have a look and let you know

The link you provided doesn't open

Remove the trailing dot.

Ahh right, thanks!

The project fits for me

Blue: you in KDE too right?

Yep

I already had one conversation with you earlier in the KDE chat last year

blue: I have texted you personally sir

ME: I'm so sorry, I don't remember, shall we better go private chat before people get angry ?

Sure thing sir, I already have texted you

Maybe it's not me, because I don't see anything

Can you please share you jabber address?

> Maybe it's not me, because I don't see anything I have texted you on XSF private chat

Sure, it's blue@macaw.me

Private messaging is disabled in this channel

Okat

> Private messaging is disabled in this channel Alright

Yesterday a friend as how XMPP is handling "load handling". The question was around how so many servers or messages can be handled. I couldn't really answer. What would be a good answer to this. I think there is also some misconception involved.

as usual, it depends™

Usually they don't have too much load and the big servers do have management around it?

I don't know what you mean by management

I think manage high loads of messages going in and out (if that is seen as load)

emus: https://www.process-one.net/blog/ejabberd-nintendo-switch-npns/ is the only article I know of with hard numbers

My usual answer to a vague question like "how many" is "enough" 😁

yep

Thanks, yeah I couldn't also elaborate his questions further. He might think that all the XMPP traffic goes through every server or so

I think even at peak jabber.org was a single server, yeah?

> Thanks, yeah I couldn't also elaborate his questions further. He might think that all the XMPP traffic goes through every server or so emus: yea true in matrix but not XMPP ↺

okay thanks

Dear all, we have successfully signed-up at Outreachy as community: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/xmpp-extensible-messaging-and-presence-protocol/ We are slowly getting familiar with the program which differs in several parts from e.g. Google Summer of Code. With the support of JMP.chat we have also a funding for one project. This allows us to apply for Outreachy funding as well. So, by this message I invite to sign-up with project ideas on our page. Please read the guidelines before you are engaging in this and make yourself familiar with the program: https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/#mentor If you have questions feel free to reach out and I will try to answer for you. Other then that, the Google Summer of Code 2024 application is pending and you can engage in this program, too.
