Anyone who knows what a STUN server is will likely switch to a server offering one.<br/><br/>· Treat it like channel search. On first use (call, file transfer), ask once: Use our fallback STUN server?

Many servers still lack HTTP Upload, and the refactored Jingle File Transfer would benefit greatly from a fallback STUN server. 2024-11-19T16:43:35+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyeyjpldv8258akd05639mj0wvz39czs89rejs8nchg44vp0tfu8gzyqakq5fns3mn5z4xzufjdz5eh7nvxdtw5ydyh76dr46nltwmx5glzkgqz75 It’s funny how the only reason WhatsApp exists is to help Meta show you more targeted ads.<br/><br/>You are not paying with your data—you are literally paying by being psychologically manipulated into buying shit you don’t need. 2024-11-16T12:39:50+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8tsyp3taq5ffhg5yr7pqzfry80fd0dm52n0pu2v8rfttegh7u4mszyqakq5fns3mn5z4xzufjdz5eh7nvxdtw5ydyh76dr46nltwmx5glz6cm2su In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxnh32r8jrxtf5azwr9pr3d3fflccakzt0wap3y8vds4euak8uvngtd5q88'>nevent1q…5q88</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>At the #XMPP Summit − after a topic is well-discussed and a rough consensus reached − someone needs to volunteer to write the XEP.<br/><br/>Last year, I volunteered to write the XEP for synchronizing read states across devices.<br/><br/>It&#39;s called Message Displayed Synchronization and is now in Last Call, where community feedback is gathered before a XEP becomes &#39;stable.&#39;<br/><br/><a href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0490.html">https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0490.html</a><br/><br/>Prototype implementations are in <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1xxsakz442dmz57rx5s4tazelfqenfheha4k3j5v0njxf7fkhfwhqntxwre" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>monal-im.org :xmpp:</span> (<span class="italic">npub1xxs…xwre</span>)</a></span> and #Conversations_im.<br/> <img src="https://gultsch.social/system/media_attachments/files/113/389/442/876/757/771/original/22b3e0fe889fab73.jpg"> <br/> 2024-10-29T08:07:41+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxnh32r8jrxtf5azwr9pr3d3fflccakzt0wap3y8vds4euak8uvngzyqakq5fns3mn5z4xzufjdz5eh7nvxdtw5ydyh76dr46nltwmx5glze6q3ms In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz9qryyvkzxpgtzveslgl6ky4c779lzmmuday0ckj5gedzzkckvfs8ha5j9'>nevent1q…a5j9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you don’t consider yourself a developer but rather an enthusiastic user or admin we regularly have booths at various conferences (FOSDEM, CLT, FrOSCon, …) that are a great opportunity to meet us.<br/><br/>If however you are a developer and always wondered what standards mailing list discussions would look like IRL you can find more information on the Summit here: <a href="https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_27">https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_27</a> 2024-10-28T15:45:54+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz9qryyvkzxpgtzveslgl6ky4c779lzmmuday0ckj5gedzzkckvfszyqakq5fns3mn5z4xzufjdz5eh7nvxdtw5ydyh76dr46nltwmx5glz7tkpt4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspn92fdwvrkrg0tj54s9y2ujwzgrnjaq9gauhlcznm9ywcppu8s0gd4p5fm'>nevent1q…p5fm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Interoperability is a big part of what makes #XMPP great.

It is not a conference. There are no presentations. It is more like a round table discussion and active participation is encouraged.<br/>Similar to an unconference at the beginning of Day 1 participants can suggest topics and others can indicate (via a +1) whether or not they are interested in that topic. Afterwards a rough order of topics is established 2024-10-28T15:18:58+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrcnac2kwg9tt45ng7llrj7ng9atdwg2583hs8xwv6urdsdmdvgyczyqakq5fns3mn5z4xzufjdz5eh7nvxdtw5ydyh76dr46nltwmx5glzgun52u I just got word that the 27th #XMPP Summit will indeed take place on the two days leading up to #FOSDEM 2025.<br/>Thursday, January 30th 2025 and Friday, January 31st at the Thon Hotel EU in Brussels, Belgium.<br/>Save the date! RSVP if you plan to attend in person.<br/>If you are an XMPP developer and enjoy long discussions over minute details of XMPP protocol extensions this event is perfect for you!<br/><br/>Looking forward to seeing everyone in person again.
