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 o…

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 …

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 g…

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 se…

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 …

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…

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 "dele…

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 o…

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 me…

Anarchists generally don't want to run things , they usually aim for that thing witj freedom, um, what's it called again... oh yes, democracy.

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 st…

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/do…

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 A…

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 …

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…

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 D…

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 …

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 fro…
