#Frage #Mobilfunk #FediHilfe #lazyVerse

#Drillisch hat leider einseitig mein #SIM gekündigt. Verständlich, denn es war eines ohne #Grundgebühr. Ich habe seit Jahren fast nichts dafür gezahlt, weil ich hauptsächlich #SMS empfangen, aber selten gesendet habe.

Jetzt brauche ich eilig ein neues SIM, mit möglichst niedriger Monatsgebühr. Hauptsächlich um SMS zu empfangen (1..20 pro Monat), optional auch SMS senden. Keine Calls, keine Daten.

Ist für #sms4you #XMPP #gateway 🙂

Danke für Eure #Hilfe!

@kariboka @feld @adbenitez

I use #slidge matridge by @nicoco with #prosody by @prosodyim.

Note, that e2ee does not work with the bridge. No problem for me, because I use it mainly for public rooms or for non-sensitive communication, that could as well be on unencrypted email.

But I like to have all my chats in one client, which is #Gajim by @gajim in my case.

@adbenitez

While I mainly use #Jabber, I also have bridges for IRC, Matrix, and SMS.

Maybe at some point #Libervia by @Goffi will work as an #XMPP bridge to Delta 🙂

@feld @adbenitez

Fortunately, almost all of my friends and family are on #Jabber, only a few on Matrix and none on Delta, i.e. there is no urgency for me in having a Delta bridge.

I would not worry about the e2ee, though. I'm running the Matrix bridge myself, and I would run an assumed Delta bridge myself. I.e. I would trust the bridge as much as my client.

@toastal

Some people would argue, that #XMPP is broken, too, esp. the #OMEMO 1 vs. OMEMO 2 situation. But it is probably less broken than Matrix, and definetively better to fix due to its extensible protocol design…

I'm using #slidge by @nicoco to use Matrix from my #Jabber client. Can't say, if it is better than the #ejabberd solution, b/c I never tried the latter. But works for me! But have at least one client with adhoc commands available, e.g. #Gajim or #Profanity!

@ge0rg @ifixcoinops @alienghic

XMPP is pronounced 'ʤæb.əʳ 🙂

To me,
#XMPP is the universal communication protocol, used for #IoT, #WebRTC, gaming, social, and #instantMessaging.
#Jabber is the latter in an open and federated network.
#CiscoJabber™ is a product by Cisco.
Zimpy is many things, but don't look it up in #UrbanDictionary!

(Btw. I fiercely advocate naming #freeSoftware projects, children, cats, companies, everything, after #UUIDs. No more unambiguousness, no more #trademark issues.)

@martin @ge0rg @ifixcoinops @alienghic

I try to avoid the #AI #LLM hell, but now I couldn't resist asking GPT-o4 mini via duck.ai to write my a song about #XMPP, to the tune of #YMCA (1978, #VillagePeople).
I made "young man" age and gender neutral "hey you", and changed "stay at the XMPP" to "chat using XMPP".
It's horrible.

@kris @grafcube

#Movim by @movim is definitely worth considering, also #Prose by @prose and #Libervia by @Goffi!

Thanks for the link to #XoWS — never heard of it so far!

@Polychrome

When I try to open a MUC, but the server is down, I get the same dialogue.
Then I press "Esc".
And I can scroll the history! Not very intuitive, but at least I can search the local message archive.

Too bad, that I'm not into #sewing (anymore).

Will follow @freesewing anyway.

@farooqkz @treefit

Speaking of #WebXDC: It is also used by one, two #Jabber clients now, but I'm not yet convinced, if I would want it.

It brings a large stack of web techology into the #chat client. Sure, in a very safe way, but it still adds complexity for devices without OS webview.

Useful features like shared TODO lists etc. can be implemented in #PEP or #PubSub, IMHO.

There is one application, I'ld like, however: https://webxdc.org/apps/#arcanecircle-livechat A chat in a chat! Does it use #XMPP by accident 🙂

@Goffi @farooqkz @treefit

I'ld say "notably nice for games, period". 🙂
But of course I'm open for cool ideas.

@larma @FiXato

Btw. #Kaidan by @kaidan can even send multiple images (or other files) together with a message. I'm optimistic, that this feature will be available in other clients, soon — with the spare time free software developers definition of "soon", though.

Fortunately, I never had to use #flatpak yet, thanks to #Debian.

AFAIK, #Conversations offers domain hosting on their #ejabberd. I.e. they could (in theory) grab all your metadata, sell it, and send you daily reminders to buy #MobileCoin from them. However, as you own your domain, you could export your data ("XEP-0227: Portable Import/Export Format for XMPP-IM Servers") and move elsewhere. Also, Conversations is hosted in the #EU, i.e. #GDPR applies until #FriedrichMerz kills it.
