Gajim - 2023-10-15

lovetox: I created a log on a profile just for testing this. It's the full log.

https://gofile.io/d/NLn7M6

if this has nothing to do with gajim, I apologize

also, this was the last messages sent from irc.libera.chat@irc.cheogram.com that I see in gajim: Connecting to irc.libera.chat:6697 (encrypted) Connected to IRC server (encrypted). ERROR: Connection closed: TLS error: Received a record that exceeds maximum size

fjklp, i looked into it

after beeing kicked from the room, gajim sends a presence to rejoin the MUC

but the server never answers it, instead we see that biboumi fails to connect to the server

but if that happens biboumi needs to answer the join presence with a presence error

that would allow gajim to try again 10 seconds later

but as there is never an answer, Gajim thinks the join is in progress

i would report this case to biboumi, its a bug on their side

https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11637 solved upstream thanks to lovetox for the pointer.

btw they are planning to change the option from archive=TRUE/FALSE to something like archive_days=INTEGER

jstein: that will then be reflected by Gajim's dynamic data form :)

Following up on the discussion about url previews, cheogram does already send that: https://wiki.soprani.ca/CheogramApp/LinkPreviews so if someone wants to implement something similar for gajim, it would be nice to make it compatible. The bad part, privacy-wise, is that the ‘image preview’ is just an http url (for now, according to singpolyma, he’s considering bits of binary of), but at least this gives links a title and a description.

cool

What means "Mute Chat" in

https://upload.jabber.hot-chilli.net:5281/file_share/cbea0ca7-cc39-4315-b206-02f008414c3f/Selection_019.png

I tried it, but saw no change

Does this option mute the MUC for all and requires Admin permission?

jstein, it prevents notification from this MUC, for instance when there is an active discussion and you want to work quietly.

Hi! Is there a trick to let windows-client connect even if there is a certificate-problem?

maybe some hidden feature "allow untrusted certs"

depends on the cert error

if you see no option in the dialog to connect, no there are no hidden other settings

Link Mauve, it mutes only the sound, but not the messages, right?

"The certificate has expired" (View Certificate) (Connect)

if i press "connect" same requester again in a loop

Link Mauve, thanks

jstein, the notification, which depends on how your desktop environment displays them.

Some will make sound, some will not; some will display a popup window, some will not.

I've tried some servers to connect to but all provoke this error message. (I'll go trough socks5)

lovetox: thankx

I am trying to understand the implications of Gajim using or not using Googles' STUN servers for the-service-which-STUN-servers-provide. Also, exactly what changes when I'm behind a proxy/VPN/Tor? I'm not well-versed in networking stuff and am finding it somewhat difficult to understand STUN/TURN and its application in a chat app. So if anyone here could provide a short explanation it'd be very helpful.

I'm especially curious what this has to do with a user's privacy.

it's used for audio / video chat

which Gajim doesn't really support (it has some outdated stuff in it that doesn't really work anymore) ✏

Oh, the real time stuff, I guess?

I once saw STUN/TURN mentioned in Jitsi meet docs.

What does Gajim communicate with these servers during audio/video chat?

Gajim does not use these servers for anything

in theory i think they are used to facilitate easier connections between participants

lovetox: thanks

> i would report this case to biboumi, its a bug on their side Thank you

kurion: have you seen https://gist.github.com/iNPUTmice/a28c438d9bbf3f4a3d4c663ffaa224d9 it has some information about STUN and TURN

hannibal: thanks! read the heading's body under "Notes for server admins". I'll need to dig more to fully get it. :) ✏
