m0unds: ah, 3 tons is large, yeah 36K BTU i think yeah, 12k x 3 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 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 looks like 'ejabberd' is what to use these days yeah 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 I might honestly move to ejabberd and just get away from IRC tbh well, jabber in general i wish more people used it I just can't seem to figure out how to allow registration hahaha, detected flight THUG11 (C-17A Globemaster III) THUG heh yeah hahaha i saw it pop up and did a double take apparently its double XP weekend in PS2 it sure is stupid briggs TR need to gtfo connery they're so whiny and laggy haha they finally fixed briggs yeah the CTO of SOE posted in the subreddit 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 so they're all named $playerFromBriggs DingusFromBriggs, etc heh 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 :) why ejabberd you crazy erlang users??? as opposed to the lua garbage that is prosody? why not openfire does it still exist? haha oh, it does wacky http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/index.jsp oof, still uses java yeah i'd rather not use java openfire is pretty nice, but it's fat and java 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 huh. I always go into Jabber thinking it's like IRC, and leave disappointed. hahaha, it's a lot more AIM/MSN/ICQ than IRC 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? no idea most of the people i talk to are still on irc there's no way they're all leaving for forums/reddit.. that's not updated real-time i haven't used an IM client in years, but it seems like lots of people still use those I hate having to hit refresh and wait on replies i think w/mobile stuff being so ubiquitous that people have move towards stuff more appropriate for use on mobile 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. most of the channels i'm in aren't topical really err, aren't really topical The important parts of IRC for me: Channels can be created/maintained by individual personnel, and they're in real-time Right, that's the "chat with the same group". oh, missed the "or" the same topic right yeah, i think that's my use case in a nutshell 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. 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 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 there's got to be something better out there 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 Twitter? 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 ? yea, lots more private networks and stuff smaller public networks too seems abuse is quite a bit more prevalent too I cannot imagine what could replace IRC. The logistics of moving every programmer over to a new chat protocol seems overwhelming. not to mention how resistant lots of 'em are to changing stuff ;) Oh totally; the idea of moving any one programmer to something new is overwhelming. haha, streaming data to flightradar24 fun fun silc looks promising doesn't appear to be any web integration, though sad There's an irssi plugin and Pidgin/Colloquy support, according to Wiki. yeah, but nothing that'd work like http://webchat.ewnix.net/ http://silky.sourceforge.net/ - "Project closed". 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. is there a free jabber service? or jabber network Is jabber.org still around? You used to just be able to register on that. it is still around but registrations are closed iirc 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@jabber.org if anyone wants to add me it's pretty easy to do your own server too http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ this may be of use to you there are lots of free jabber services, arent there public server directories online? ah i see one was just linked mnathani: dukgo has free Jabber/XMPP too (aka DuckDuckGo, aka ddg) https://duck.co/blog/using-pidgin-with-xmpp-jabber
