Just pushed a new protoXEP for implementing Remote Control in #XMPP, along with an accompanying implementation in #Libervia!
This is exciting, as it enables not only Remote Desktop, but also controlling devices without video feedback - like using your phone as an ad-hoc touchpad, laptop keyboard to control a Single-board computer, or making automation scripts, and more!
It's designed to be extensible, with plans to add clipboard sharing and gamepad input. Thanks to #NLnet for their support!
For instance to send an announcement for servers supporting XEP-0133:
li ad-hoc run "<http://jabber.org/protocol/admin#announce>" -f subject "Maintenance in 30 min" -f announcement "$(<~/announces/maintenance_30.txt)" -S
Check the doc linked above, it's explained there. Ask me if you have questions.
Curious how none of the coverage of this launch mention that the app isn't actually open-source (though they pretend to be an open-source project), which makes all of their claims of "end-to-end encryption" worthless...
@Samsy@arbocenc#XMPP can run bridges (called "Transports" or "Gateways" in XMPP terms) since the early ages. And nowadays, there are modern ones with tight integrations: #Slidge being a flagship (including a #Matrix gateway), and I'm myself working on ActivityPub gateway and soon a email one with #Libervia. #Cheogram is also working on SMTP gateway. And #Biboumi is the flagship #IRC gateway.
Wenn ihr auf das Jahr 2023 zurückblickt, welche Maßnahme im Bereich IT-Sicherheit und/oder Datenschutz hat euch besonders positive Ergebnisse gebracht - sei es ein Projekt, eine Entscheidung, eine Anpassung oder eine Veränderung?
Bei all den negativen Entwicklungen, insbesondere #AppZwang bei #DeutscheBahn und auf niedrigem Niveau steigende Zahl von Läden und Restaurants, in denen man nicht mehr #datensparsam mit #Bargeld zahlen kann, ist es nicht leicht Positives zu finden.
Immerhin das: Bei #Jabber gibt es spannende Entwicklungen bzgl. Gateways: Einerseits #Libervia AP gateway (#XMPP ⇔ #ActivityPub) von @Goffi, andererseits #Slidge (⇔ Matrix, Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp und mehr) von @nicoco.
@feditips Curious if you've heard anything about Libervia.org #Libervia. I just discovered this "all-in-one tool to manage all your communications needs: instant messaging, (micro)blogging, file sharing, photo albums, events, forums, tasks, etc." Reportedly compatible with ActivityPub, but I haven't had a chance to try it out.
#OX (XEP-0373, XEP-0374: #OpenPGP for #XMPP, without security problems of historical XEP-0027) implementation has been merged to #Libervia, thanks to Syndace again, and #NLnet for their funding.
OX doesn't have PFS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_secrecy) but that means that new devices can access archives, which may be desirable. Also, it can encrypt arbitrary elements.
