phlux1: Does anyone here run a jabber server?
I'm looking into it and thinking about setting up a jabber network, but I have no fucking clue what I'm doing or how this is supposed to work
***: phlux1 is now known as phlux
m0unds: i used to use openfire/wildfire years ago for a corporate xmpp network
i doubt that stuff exists still, and if it does, it's probably worse because it used java :)
jpalmer: http://i.imgur.com/UvEu5RK.png i need to build a coax antenna. seeing out about 75 mi w/the tiny TV ant that came w/the dongle
phlux: looks like 'ejabberd' is what to use these days
staticsafe: yeah
m0unds: yeah
i only did openfire because it was at a site where i wasn't going to be working anymore and they wanted something with a gui
it actually got moved to that ancient fc3 box i mentioned the other day, haha
phlux: I might honestly move to ejabberd and just get away from IRC tbh
well, jabber in general
m0unds: i wish more people used it
phlux: I just can't seem to figure out how to allow registration
m0unds: hahaha, detected flight THUG11 (C-17A Globemaster III)
staticsafe: THUG
heh
m0unds: yeah
hahaha
i saw it pop up and did a double take
staticsafe: apparently its double XP weekend in PS2
m0unds: it sure is
stupid briggs TR need to gtfo connery
they're so whiny and laggy
staticsafe: haha
they finally fixed briggs
m0unds: yeah
staticsafe: the CTO of SOE posted in the subreddit
m0unds: yeah
i saw that, pretty cool that he provided some detail
i always wondered how they did backend sync stuff
TR on connery ended up being the refugee faction for briggs players

m0unds: so they're all named $playerFromBriggs
DingusFromBriggs, etc
staticsafe: heh
m0unds: but i kept getting tk'd by them, so i went VS for a bit and wrecked the TR for a bit - kdr was like 11 or something absurd :)

hazardous: why ejabberd
you crazy erlang users???
staticsafe: as opposed to the lua garbage that is prosody?
hazardous: why not openfire
m0unds: does it still exist? haha
oh, it does
wacky
http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/index.jsp
oof, still uses java
phlux: yeah
i'd rather not use java
m0unds: openfire is pretty nice, but it's fat and java
phlux: here's what I'm not liking
each client for jabber has different commands
no commands are passed to the server, it seems
so like there's no '/kick' in any client other than pidgin
m0unds: huh.
mike-burns: I always go into Jabber thinking it's like IRC, and leave disappointed.
m0unds: hahaha, it's a lot more AIM/MSN/ICQ than IRC

phlux: yeah
We need an IRC successor tbh
IRC is dying, but I don't know where the people are going
what's the "new thing" these days?
m0unds: no idea
most of the people i talk to are still on irc
phlux: there's no way they're all leaving for forums/reddit..
that's not updated real-time
m0unds: i haven't used an IM client in years, but it seems like lots of people still use those
phlux: I hate having to hit refresh and wait on replies
m0unds: i think w/mobile stuff being so ubiquitous that people have move towards stuff more appropriate for use on mobile
mike-burns: IRC attracts a certain type: people who want to chat with the same group, or about the same topic, all day. The fact that it's real time isn't the important part for many.
m0unds: most of the channels i'm in aren't topical really
err, aren't really topical
phlux: The important parts of IRC for me: Channels can be created/maintained by individual personnel, and they're in real-time
mike-burns: Right, that's the "chat with the same group".
m0unds: oh, missed the "or" the same topic
right
yeah, i think that's my use case in a nutshell
mike-burns: Chatting with online friends, who you may never physically meet.
That's probably a dying idea.
I suspect that IRC isn't being replaced with anything.
m0unds: yeah - there are a couple on a private network i'm usually on whom i've never met, but have chatted with for 15 tears
s/tears/years
BryceBot: <m0unds> yeah - there are a couple on a private network i'm usually on whom i've never met, but have chatted with for 15 years
phlux: there's got to be something better out there
m0unds: dunno. i really do like being able to run a client on a remote box and just resume it when i have time, and leave it alone when i don't
mike-burns: Twitter?
bonraton: i've moved away from the idea of maintaining friendships with people i have no way to meet in person somewhat
but still think IRC is the best communication medium we came up with so far
IRC is not dying, it died :) it's actually picking up again now, isnt it ?
m0unds: yea, lots more private networks and stuff
smaller public networks too
seems abuse is quite a bit more prevalent too
mike-burns: I cannot imagine what could replace IRC. The logistics of moving every programmer over to a new chat protocol seems overwhelming.
m0unds: not to mention how resistant lots of 'em are to changing stuff ;)
mike-burns: Oh totally; the idea of moving any one programmer to something new is overwhelming.
m0unds: haha, streaming data to flightradar24
fun fun
phlux: silc looks promising
doesn't appear to be any web integration, though
sad
mike-burns: There's an irssi plugin and Pidgin/Colloquy support, according to Wiki.
phlux: yeah, but nothing that'd work like http://webchat.ewnix.net/
mike-burns: http://silky.sourceforge.net/ - "Project closed".
phlux: so I'm going to say
there's no real alternative for IRC as far as having integrated webchat AND being able to use a client is concerned.

mnathani: is there a free jabber service?
or jabber network
mhoran: Is jabber.org still around? You used to just be able to register on that.
staticsafe: it is still around but registrations are closed iirc
mercutio: it's quite easy to run your own, i think there's quite a few free ones around though
i think like there was a new zealand one for instance :)
http://www.jabber.co.nz/about/
like looks liek you can get that for free
staticsafe: staticsafe@jabber.org if anyone wants to add me
mercutio: it's pretty easy to do your own server too
http://www.jabberes.org/servers/
this may be of use to you
bonraton: there are lots of free jabber services, arent there public server directories online?
ah i see one was just linked
