  • noob questions

    Jump

  • i use jmp+cheogram+gajim heavily for text. cheogram does replies and emoji reactions, though the mechanism for choosing the emoji is chunky.

    i don't do voice on desktop, but i'm pretty sure gajim cannot do voice calls. dino, maybe others, should be able to but i haven't tried it.

    because i don't give the number out for voice, i can't speak to spam calls.

  • Introducing Fluux Messenger: A Modern XMPP Client Born from a Holiday Coding Session

    Jump

  • i might wait until they're a little more committed to supporting the protocol and not a server platform

    We aim to create an XMPP client that respects standards, but currently the project has been tested exclusively with ejabberd.

  • Can I easily move from Skype to JMP?

    Jump

  • the jmp support bot lists an 'lnp' option for porting in — so they support it in principle — but it's worth engaging jmp support once you're signed up, as they've probably been through this and could save you some hassles. i had a skype number (two actually) but left them both behind as jmp could assign me numbers i liked better.

    if you haven't gotten a referral code yet, PM me.

  • Keyboard alternative to Heliboard

    Jump

  • I have the Multiling keyboard. I don't recommend it to others as it's rather long in the tooth and still has quirks I haven't fully sorted. I keep it precisely because it does multi-language support with separate dictionaries; I switch it between U.S. English and French Canadian and autocorrect follows. It's massively customizable but I don't understand it and am more likely to render it unusable than to make it better.

  • XMPP using nearly 10x less battery than Signal on a degoogled Android phone

    Jump

  • i do have. and my 'sms' goes over it. but i can't make everyone come to me. (i did abandon the ones who are whatsapp-only tho)

  • XMPP using nearly 10x less battery than Signal on a degoogled Android phone

    Jump

  • When I installed Signal it complained that I didn't have Google Play Services and fell back to websockets. But my phone is boring, I do have Google services. Could I have something in a firewall config that made it pick wrong? Is it using a different checking mechanism from all my other apps that go through FCM?

  • Molly-UP deprecation

    Jump

  • Unfortunately this is a non-starter for me at the moment.

    • Molly/FOSS/UP is deprecated and frozen at a prior version, so I'm at risk of vulnerabilities.
    • Upgrading to current Molly-FOSS requires a VAPID-capable mollysocket (1.5 or higher).
    • mollysocket cannot be upgraded with a simple cargo install. cargo throws error[E0599]: no function or associated item named ec_gen found for struct PKey<_> in the current scope

    Searching for PKey::ec_gen() points to openssl. mollysocket has at least two dependencies that it doesn't declare, but we don't know how many.

    You probably need to install some system packages, like libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev.

    The best-case scenario is that libssl-dev is a lower version from what it wants, and that an upgrade would clear the problem. But since the dependency isn't declared, we don't know the minimum version. In my case it doesn't matter as I'm in a shared hosting environment and I can't just change system packages.

    I'll need to figure out a way to go back to vanilla Signal, and a way for Signal to recognize that I do in fact have Google Play Services. The Molly docs explain only moving to Molly, not away from it.

  • Molly-UP deprecation

    Jump

  • i surely didn't explain well. to my knowledge there are three mollys. the standard one with google services blobs, the -foss that has no blobs and presumably has to use websockets, and the -up (-foss-up?) that can do unified push, though it doesn't have to.

    i forget whether foss and -up were in different repos to each other. but without my changing any repos, molly(-foss)-up updated itself to 7.23.1-1.up1-foss. this is behind the 7.26 of -foss. it displays a dialog that says it's deprecated, and since it's left backrevved, isn't likely getting security updates. clicking install sends you into the hole i described at first.

    i do believe this path is working and that my notifications are coming through my xmpp account, not websockets. but i haven't traced it to prove it is so.

  • Molly-UP deprecation

    Jump

  • OK, the VAPID key is new and it's mentioned but not documented (other than to say it's used if 'it supports it'). Is Molly now dependent on the QR code and VAPID for configuration (meaning I couldn't attach it to the pre-1.5 mollysocket that I have now)?

  • Molly-UP deprecation

    Jump

  • thank you! i have to look at mollysocket then; i don't remember the vapid/qr step, so might have to upgrade it also

    Rethinking 'real' number in a JMP world

  • For anyone using JMP, how's the 120 minute limit?

    Jump

  • it's not a cap, it's that the monthly fee covers 120 mins. overages accrue per-minute charges, but if you're routinely needing more than 2h talk time, jmp may not be the best answer

    q21 on https://jmp.chat/faq

    Every JMP plan comes with calling credit, worth approximately 120 minutes within the US & Canada, included in the monthly price. By default accounts are set to be warned when this limit is reached so no one gets any surprise charges without getting permission first. You can adjust your plan settings with the bot to raise this limit and allow your account balance to be directly billed for any minutes over the included amount.

  • Curious what people think

    Jump

  • we've normalised the idea that we own celebrities, that they owe us continuous intrusion into their private lives as a condition of fame. there's always a line, a fuzzy one, currently drawn somewhere near paparazzi (they're evil vs they're a necessary evil, how else would we get our pics).

    society is built on these lines separating the acceptable from the unacceptable. they change, more quickly than we remember. we don't smoke in restaurants. we do wear seat belts. but the people who fought those battles, not that long ago, were pariahs.

    ellen degeneres (before she became 😡 ellen 😡 for different reasons) was blackballed for coming out. chappell roan is kissing women in her videos. if she wants to try to move the privacy line, and risk being a pariah for it, good for her. she's either proven right or wrong over time. she'll either pay or she won't. but she's using her capital for something that's important to her, and that she sees as important to her industry. everyone's entitled to try.

  • What is the best way to mark an inactive bus stop?

    Jump

  • i'm no expert — consensus sounds like putting disused only on the main tag, and when i've encountered this, i haven't marked anything disused at all. i've only looked at the stop/platform to make sure they weren't in any relation (transit line relations may include the passing way but shouldn't include the disused stop/platform). and i make sure route_ref isn't set on the stop/platform. were the stop to be used again, i figure it would have the same ref/stop id and operator, so i don't remove them. listening for better ideas though

  • Modern XMPP is an independent project launched to improve the quality of user-to-user messaging applications that use XMPP.

    Jump

  • I'm torn, because on the one hand, yes! — the hour I spent figuring out which PGP XEP was the right one is an hour I won't get back. But, "only the XEPs you need to implement for a modern messaging application, ignoring historical cruft and excessive backwards-compatibility" sounds so much like the beginning of an extend-and-extinguish cycle.

  • 1:1 xmpp-matrix bridging

  • thank you… more of a thought experiment now than a true need, but it seems like if it became a need, i'd be better off building a matrix account. i suspected this but had hoped for more :/

  • got my tech within the last year, was stunned at how not old-white-guy the class was. all age groups, balanced genders, mixed races. many seemed there for neighborhood emergency teams. the airwaves are dead most of the time i've turned the rig on, except during the net hour. i feared exactly what you've heard but thankfully haven't run into it. yet.
