Our next virtual #Berlin #XMPP meetup will take place on Wednesday, 18:00 CET. We'll give a short introduction to #OpenPGP for XMPP (#OX), followed by a discussion with one of the XEP authors and various implementors:

#XMPP is down! 😮
Wait, no, that's impossible.
#Signal is down: https://status.signal.org/
#decentralize folks!

OK, time for me to make an apology.
I hadn't used XMPP for quite a while. While I liked it last time I used it there were issues keeping connections and the clients were less than stellar.
While the desktop clients for Linux are still a little shaky I can recommend Quicksy (thank you @moparisthebest for the recommendation).
I've been crabby when people recommend XMPP because I didn't realize that folks have taken XMPP from an early 21st century protocol to a joy to use.

Today, we released eturnal 1.2.0, which adds a module for logging STUN/TURN stats to InfluxDB (contributed by Marc Schink): https://eturnal.net
After testing Siskin and Monal for a few days, my impression is that XMPP is now way more usable on iOS than it was back in the days. Many thanks to @tigase for their great work on Siskin IM.
Today, we released version 1.0.0 of our new STUN/TURN server:

In case any Erlang people happen to be interested in straightforward support for systemd's notification/watchdog features:

Note to self: Logging a message from a function that handles log messages is not that much of a great idea.
FWIW, we (pre-)released a new piece of TURN server software today:

Just be aware that you will be recorded by YouTube if you join. If you prefer to just listen, please use the YouTube stream:
Next naming issue ahead! (Hardest problem in programming.)
If you were to publish a TURN server (written in Erlang), what name would you choose? Some suggestions:
During our next (virtual) XMPP meetup on Wednesday, 18:00 CEST, Daniel Gultsch and me will give an introduction to the technologies used for A/V calls with XMPP. Topics discussed will include Jingle, ICE/STUN/TURN, (S)RTP, and WebRTC. The meetup will take place on Jitsi Meet, see:

We'll also be streaming this meetup live to YouTube, so if you participate, you will be recorded. If you'd prefer to just listen, please use the YouTube stream:
Time required to fix an average bug in #erlang software: 10 minutes to code the fix, 20 minutes to write the commit message, 30 minutes to wait for the test suites to complete, 60 minutes to run Dialyzer for static type checking. (Yes, Erlang people, it's just a few seconds if you don't keep messing up your PLTs like I do.)

@ulrichkelber diese bescheuerte Regel hat vor allem dazu geführt dass ich heute ständig aus versehen irgendwas zustimme, dass ich nicht wollte, weil man halt jetzt defaultmässig erstmal bei jeder Seite irgendwo klicken muss. Gutes Beispiel für komplett lebensfernen Datenschutz.

Added IPv6 support to #ejabberd's built-in TURN server. Hardest problem, as usual, how to name the new option to specify the server's v6 address. Suggestions so far: turn_ip6, turn_v6_ip, turn_ip_v6, turn_ipv6, turn_ipv6_ip, turn_ipv6_addr, turn_ipv6_address.
