TBH I am not well-versed into DNS and certificates and security, but I guess you have to trust your provider with a certificate for `example.com` if you allow them to manage JIDs of the form `anything@example.com`, indeed. Again, I am not v

Web client, but I think movim has GIF picker and screensharing features. It even does multiparty video calls, compatible with dino. Since it's P2P, it does not scale well to a lot of users, but the developer is working on SFU support f

Revive your prosody and set up https://slidge.im/ for Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal. It's not a proper solution I know, but at least you'll keep on using XMPP clients and they'll get better because they will

I know at least two services that offer hosting with your own domain: https://my.snikket.org/ and https://account.conversations.im/domain/ so I suppose it is not that complex to setup.

I have had success getting apple-loving friends to use https://monal-im.org/ https://snikket.org/ are working on a new iOS client too (no release so far).

https://monal-im.org/ is my personal recommendation for iOS.

The targeted audience of this website is, for now, developers. Communicating is hard. https://joinjabber.org/ is/was an attempt at something more user-focused. It is not linked to the XMPP Software Foundation. BTW, joi

It is used in a non-federated context as the underlying in a lot of places (NATO, Zoom, british Military, Grindr, Jisti…). Federated usage is mostly private chats that don't really want to advertise that they do use it. It is sad becau

You can with dino. I wish I had the time to work on getting A/V calls back in gajim. It could be worth asking an NLNet grant for that… https://dino.im/

Sure. In practice, in federated networks bad actors end up being blacklisted. It does not provide any "formal" guarantee, but… it tends to work fine enough. For this specific "deletion request" feature, of course it shou

An open protocol can mandate indeed, but that is still in the realm of pinky promise security. A better design for a privacy-friendly chat protocol is to not write a lot of stuff on a lot of different remote servers when that's not nec

uv pip is a full reimplementation of pip. Way faster, better caching, less disk usage. What'd not to like about it?

I have been running a family and friends XMPP server on a cheap VPS for almost 10 years and the only downtime we had was when the datacenter burned down (OVH, true story).

Movim and Dino do multi-party jingle, aka voice and video group calls. Maybe you can contribute to improving it ;)

For (repliable) notifications on iOS, you need mod_cloud_notify server-side.

That article loses its credibility because of this, my thoughts too. Facebook and Instagram websites are among the worse offenders when it comes to "time-to-content" or whatever metric cool kids use these days. Maybe the apps are

I don't think it qualifies as a breakthrough. In short: 1. Segmentation is a very classical in medical image processing. 2. Everyday there are papers claiming that they beat the state of the art 3. This paper says that most of the time

I agree with that. Classically used "AI benchmarks" need to be questioned. In my field, these guys have dropped a bomb, and no one seem to care: https://hal.science/hal-04715638/document

I am not a AI booster at all, but the fact that negative results are not published and that everyone is overselling their stuff in research papers is unfortunately not limited to AI. This is just a consequence of the way scientists are eval

Equivalence is too strong a word, but content produced by spotify where musicians (or AI prompters) are mere contractors comes to mind. Getting back to "I don't even want virtuous algorithmic recommendation"… I like jazz rock

by nicoco 1y ago
I'll argue music algorithmic recommendation on these platforms is a bad thing anyway. First, the algorithm is opaque, so it can push stuff to you because the platform decide it has to get the spotlights. Maybe the label/producer&#

Excellent! Dino is sweet. I wish the Windows XMPP client situation was a bit better, but in the Linux world we have at least 2 actively maintained and modern-looking clients with Dino and Gajim, and 2 TUI ones. Keep up the good work!

It's worth noting that there are self-hostable XMPP-based implementations for this: https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/conversations/ What is old is new again (Google used XMPP for Android Push N

Scaling data is not always possible. It's really hard to get your hands on good labelled medical imaging data, for instance. Maybe it makes sense to try to incorporate insights from biology and physiological instead of hoping that the

Resource usage in general, especially server side? Although XMPP clients also seem to win too, cf [1] (debatable methodology in this link, I agree). And this is not "implementation detail stuff", by design serving Matrix is resour

It's nice to see pidgin still alive and kicking! I hate to have different apps for similar stuff and I also prefer "native" clients over web UIs so I used pidgin a lot in my life. I impressed many people with its "telepa

And no moon cycle related variations, despite a popular (false) belief. It always amazes me that the superstition is spread even among ( some , of course not all ) midwifes!

Every rust article: "Look how great this rust feature is and how clean and concise the resulting code is!" Me: "How can a programming language be so damn complex? Am I just dumb?"
