@bender@twtxt.net ICQ, yeah, I vaguely remember these times, despite I still know my ICQ number like it was yesterday. :-D

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe No, it’s not dead. The one account in question actually is on jabber.org.

@shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe Jabber = XMPP.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org jabber.org has been long dead as far as I know

Oh no, spam via Jabber is new for me. Fuck them!

JMP: Mitigating MITMs in XMPP
In October 2023, Jabber.ru, “the largest Russian XMPP messaging service”, discovered that both Hetzner and Linode had been targeting them with Machine-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks for up to 6 months. MITM attacks are when an unauthorised third party intercepts traffic intended for someone else. At the point of interception, the attacker can inspect and even modify that traffic. TLS was created to mitigate this; all communication between the two parties is encrypted, so the third party sees … ⌘ Read more

XMPP is a universal communication protocol for instant messaging, push
notifications, IoT, WebRTC, and social applications. It has existed sin … ⌘ Read more

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org do you run your own Jabber server, or piggy back on someone else’s?

Maybe go back to Jabber?
