@Linux ideally switch to providers that don't demand any #PII like @monocles, which not only will onlynvomply with duely submitted subopenas in #Germany and also can only submit data they actually have.

  • If you never gave them ajy identifying info, then they can't hand those over.

And if you really care, you'll use real #E2EE LIKE #PGO/MIME (#encrypted #eMail) & #XMPP+#OMEMO so there's only encrypted jibberish at the providers' side.

So installed prosody on my small personal instance and finally run my own #XMPP server. This was surprisingly simple and seems pretty lightweight . Well I don’t know if I did it right 😅 but it seems to work.

You can reach me on XMPP with santiago@lema.@org just like my email.

In #XMPP encrypted groups, we often have to introduce our new devices and this creates a lot of noice. There is mainly two approaches we are considering to fix this issue in Prav.

So far the poll is favoring ATM, but I hope more people will vote for cross signing.

This is one crucial difference Prav has compared to most other #FreeSoftware projects, the community / users are the decision makers for such things, not developers.

Everyone gets one vote, not just someone who knows Java or Vala

“A new try at establishing a Jabber/XMPP user group here in Stockholm after the one on meetup was given up. We could have meetings and talk about all kind of things regarding Jabber/XMPP, be it as a user, a server operator or a developer.”

I tried out the #ooni network tester app from #FDroid. I have good connectivity here in #Malaysia, both from a cellular SIM card connection, and the monastery wifi (a fiber internet connection).

But alas, the Ooni tests don't test for #XMPP, in their instant messaging apps testing! Only #Facebook, #Signal, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger are tested for, apparently. I do have trouble with XMPP, on the fiber internet here. Insidiously, brief XMPP text messages can be sent, but any video memo (say, 40MB in size, about 4 min worth of video) will only 1% upload, then get stuck. Attempts to resend will keep getting stuck. It seems that the XMPP traffic gets throttled to nothing after a small amount of data is sent: say, 400kb or so. I *can* send these video memos from my cellular SIM card connection.

I wish Ooni could have warned me about this, as it caused a friend to not receive a video memo for about 10 days, until I caught on to what was happening.

What's the recommended method of setting up two #XMPP servers on one IP? (Okay, more, they'll use IPv6 as well, yes)

Different ports and DNS entries?

Does Prosody allow forwarding everything meant for another server?

I have two VPS where I need two different servers. On both one of them is Prosody, the other will be something else.
