Ignite Realtime Blog: External Service Discovery plugin 1.0.2 released!
Version 1.0.2 of the External Service Discovery plugin has been released!

This Openfire plugin allows your users to use external STUN and TURN services, optionally making use of temporary credentials for those services. It often is a prerequisite for being able to set up audio or video calls with Openfire.

This version brings better compatibility with TURN services other than those implemented by CoTur … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net the new product was GPTs. A way to create tailored bots for specific use cases. https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts (fun fact: I did an internal hackathon where we made something like this for $work onboarding. And I won a prize!)

The competed project is poe https://quorablog.quora.com/Introducing-creator-monetization-for-Poe which is basically the same idea. Make a AI bot tailored to a specific domain of knowledge. And monitize it.

The timing fits very well as openAI announced it just a few weeks ago.

Ignite Realtime Blog: Openfire 4.8.0 beta release!
It is exciting to be able to announce the immediate availability of the beta release of Openfire 4.8.0!

And, that shows: we have closed almost 180 issues against this release! I’ll reserve the details for a blogpost on the 4.8.0 (non-beta) release, but some of the highlights are:

Today, while being in the second home over the weekend, I finally installed the 5G router setup (ZTE MC801A + GL.iNet Beryl AX). Now my home server (staying in this flat because it has a good place here) is behind a cellular 5G connection. There’s running nothing important on it, but let’s see how reliable this new setup will work over a longer period. Today so far all works fine. And if there will be problems, I still have a few months time to find solutions. ⌘ Read more
