We had a #prosody workshop here on Friday with Prof. Carlos Gussenhoven (Nijmegen). It was a nice occasion in which some graduate students also outlined their projects and asked some prosody-related questions. We presented him with a scroll with a suitable wish on the occasion of his 80th birthday, this July.
not a martian, honest6d ago

after somehow messing up my configuration of #prosody last year and never being able to connect, I think this time I managed just fine.

I now should be available under [email protected] on #xmpp

that is, if anyone out there is still using xmpp/jabber

@NovemDecimal From a technical point of view, I would go for XMPP. Matrix is very overloaded, and more a replacement for something like slack or so. Chat with #XMPP ist just a chat. With #conversations or #monocleschat  on Android, #gajim on win and Linux (do not know about MacOS) and #monal on ios, you have enought clients available. You just need to convince your contacts to use it too. BTW with #prosody you have a really great solution for selfhosting a small server.

@eddiereasoner I think #discord is a red-flag, because it's too "low-effort", too "slumming it", too prone to future platform rug-pulls and creepy policy changes, and not reliably searchable. Far better #OpenSource alternatives exist today, and aren't all that hard to set up, for the sufficiently motivated geek: #PHPBB, #Discourse, #Flarum, #Prosody, #Deltachat, #Zulip, etc. Surely one of them, or something similar, is acceptable, given each of them, in their unique strength.

I say 600MB of RAM is passable because my cheap on-prem server has 16GB of it

I took down my #Prosody server now. It lost the fight to the network effect. But much was learned and I'm happy to have invested the time and money doing this project.

It gave me a better understanding of firewalls #UFW

I got to set up automatic updates on #Debian

Setting up #SSH and #Fail2ban with a stricter settings.

It was also my first 100% cloud server where I did all but the OS from the bottom up.

So I'm kinda ready to do it all again when shit hits the fan.
