@ij Ya, Im a bit unsure how to follow those instructions....Im using http_upload_external. Any help?
@mia @DefaultAlex @tk If you want to experience why debian packaging needs improvement - try to package a python package on debian then try on void/alpine/arch/gentoo.
I just end up using pip on debian. On other distros, I just make a package since it's so trivial and the installed program will always conform to my distro's standard practices.

@mia @DefaultAlex @tk I maintain a number of packages for voidlinux and alpine linux. Both distros make packaging so unbelievably easy that a linux user somewhat used to compiling from source manually can figure out how to package within an afternoon.
I spent an entire weekend making a package for mobian (debian) and it still didnt work out. I had to send it to the mobian maintainer who was luckily able to still build off my work.

@redstarfish mu4e is the truth. It's hands down the best email client. It's the only one that allowed me to handle the firehose of information that is email.

Even still, the admin could change the source code of ejabberd or change the option to plain text.
The server software doesnt really matter. What matters is how much you trust the server operator. Regardless, OMEMO and choosing a server run by a community you trust to not hand out your metadata rather than a corporation should give you peace of mind.
The TA for a class I took is marking my lab report at 3:40 am on new years day and I keep getting notifications about it. Bless up bro.

I just checked prosody's documentation and it seems that you guys are correct:

I wonder if conversations/dino/gajim support SCRAM now. Regardless, you should always use a password manager. You can never trust the server operator even if they claim they use hashed passwords.

@jrballesteros05 Im sorry for your loss. I went through it in 2019 and I know how you feel. Your optimism in the face of a terrible experience is an inspiration for me. Hope 2021 treats you better.
@dajbelshaw @keverets @RussSharek Im sure daniel would be more than happy to see an issue open with a suggested sentence that explains XMPP in simpler - more layman terms =)
@ancommie @colinl @dajbelshaw @keverets @RussSharek Not sure what you mean by "But the thing is, why should I put my trust into an admin that i heard has the ability to read my password in clear text and to modify messages?" Do you have a source for that?
re: Not a crypto expert so take this with a grain of salt and do your own research
@colinl @RussSharek @ancommie @dajbelshaw @keverets You should be using a password generator anyways to protect against the admin storing your password badly (ie. in plain text).

@colinl @ancommie @dajbelshaw @keverets @RussSharek Ya, thats a pretty fair understanding. OMEMO also has forward secrecy. So even if your future keys are compromised, your past messages wont be compromised.
The admin of the server wont be able to read your messages but will have access to metadata (which is often just as important as the message).

@rebel_luddite You also remove code for features you dont need. ie. I can remove translation support since I only use english. You can completely disable features you dont like. For example, I hate dbus and I just disable it globally for all packages in my make.conf.
Also, you get to choose everything. So if you have a very particular setup you want, it's always possible with gentoo.
I use binary distros on weaker hardware but always miss my gentoo setup
