With the announce of #microsoft buying #github, it's a good time to recall that I've started to write tools for a decentralized forge in Salut à Toi (based on #XMPP), with tickets and merge requests implemented.

It's already working, it's written in a popular language (#python) and help would be more than welcome (check our XMPP MUC room at sat@chat.jabberfr.org).

Suite à l'annonce du rachat de #github par #microsoft, je rappelle que j'ai commencé à intégrer des outils de forge décentralisée dans Salut à Toi (basé sur #XMPP donc), avec déjà tickets et merge requests.

C'est fonctionnel, écrit dans un langage populaire (#python) et de l'aide serait plus que bienvenue.

Dit weekend in #varia Welcome to the � Federation waarbij we vanuit #kunst en vormgeving kijken naar federatieve protocollen, vrije software en hoe daar bij te kunnen dragen.

Dit maal hebben we Daniel Gultsch uitgenodigd, auteur van #conversations, een vrije software chat applicatie met aandacht voor gebruiksgemak, ontwerp en #privacy op basis van het federatieve protocol #xmpp.

Presentatie 1 juni, hands-on werksessie 2 juni. Aanmelden via info[at]varia.zone.

Russian Court Bans Telegram App for refusing to hand over encryption keys.

Commendable they refuse to hand over keys but now no more Telegram in Russia... The issue with #centralization made clear again. Better #federate with #matrix #XMPP

Decentralize your world.

There is of course #mastodon as federated social media.

There is good old #email as federated postbox (as long as not everyone uses GMail).

There is #peertube as a federated video platform.

There is #Riot / Matrix.org as federated group messaging.

There is #XMPP for federated 1on1 messaging.

And there is #nextcloud as federated cloud storage.

In theory most services are already federated. We only miss more users :)

The rocky road to #OMEMO by default

Moxie #Marlinspike, in his 2016 propaganda piece ignorantly bashing #XMPP, had one valid point: Enabling end-to-end encryption in a homogenous environment is easier than introducing it in a heterogenous one like #Jabber. Nobody is denying that. However, if something is hard to achieve there are two possible approaches: Either try your best and don’t give up, or put your head in the sand and create yet another walled garden that is no different from other proprietary solutions.
Admittedly it has taken us a while to get to a point where we can enable end-to-end #encryption by default, but it was worth the effort in that we ended up with something that is different from #WhatsApp in more than just marketing.
