UnitedBSD XMPP/Jabber MUC at SDF

JuvenalUrbino

As a die-hard XMPP fan, I took the liberty to create an unofficial, moderated XMPP/Jabber MUC for UnitedBSD on the SDF.org Jabber Server, which runs ejabberd on NetBSD(8-STABLE)/amd84 and complies to many useful XEP extensions meant to reproduce all the features found in more modern chat relays systems.

Hope this is not a problem for @Jay (were that the case, I can destroy the MUC practically instantly).

The address is unitedbsd@conference.jabber.sdf.org, everybody is free to join; don't know how many, if any, xmpp users are out there, outside me and @tse : this is just a test I wanted to carry out. In case we managed to reach 4-5 moderately active members, I'll consider the option of self-hosting the MUC on my Rpi3.

Defaulting to OMEMO end-to-end encryption is advisable, so make sure to use a robust client supporting it out of the box, which on *BSD translates to either Gajim or Dino

JuvenalUrbino this is cool keep it up +1

Note 1: for anybody interested in joining XMPP, even just for trying, Disroot.org community is probably the best provider available, in terms of privacy, reliability, security, supported XEP extensions....and being located in Netherlands offers close to none latency to European users.

Recommended alternatives: 404.city, SDF.org, Neko IM, jabber.at, blabber.im

Note 2: The best client for Android instead is undeniably Conversations, possibly under every single aspect, although I personally use the Pix-Art Messenger fork; Yaxim is decent too.
Movim is a fully-featured browser frontend.
The best CLI clients are in order profanity, poezio, and centerim; they're all widely available on *BSD; unfortunately, as of today, none of them supports OMEMO (profanity an experimental plugin), so , when in need for encryption, one has to fallback to either OpenPGP or LibOTR

Nice
