XMPPRealtime BlocklistProtects XMPP Groups From Spammers, Implemented In Major ServerSoftware ⚡️@takebackourtech | SOURCE I'm proud to share a recent development in XMPP, the development and adoption of a real-time blocklist. Problem: Because XMPP allows anyone to create an acct without personal info, certain bad apples can disturb XMPP groups. When these people get banned, they can simply hop to a different XMPP chatroom - since XMPP is completely decentralized the second server will not know a spammer has joined until its too late. XMPP server owners knew they had a problem, so they formed a working group and built a solution in the form of a real-time block list. Solution: The XMPP real-time blocklist can be adopted by any server and can sync with a shared blocklist co-managed by other XMPP server operators. Now when a spammer is caught in one group, they're caught in all groups using the RTBL. My part in this was simply asking the development team of ejabberd (a popular XMPP server software) to implement the module that would make a real-time blocklist possible for anyone using their software. They accepted the request and it got implemented recently. This functionality was already implemented in most major servers and this was the last one - it's a big deal for public groups everywhere. Today's a good day to try XMPP. Have you joined #TBOT's XMPP room yet? - Register for XMPP here - Join our chatroom: [email protected] ⚡️Follow |🗣Discuss | 📩Newsletter

Buku, powerful bookmark manager & personal textual mini-web @takebackourtech | CODE Ever find something cool on the internet and forget to save it? In my case I found an alternative repository for Chrome extensions so you wouldn't have to Download it through the Chrome Web Store. Now I'm having a hard time finding it (i have no idea why Google would want to hide it as a result ;) Thanks to some awesome peeps in the #TBOT XMPP group ([email protected]) I am going to give buku a try, and start saving more information that crosses my screen. Buku allows you to save links, tag & organize them. You can do cool things like tag a related group of links, and then open all of them at one time. There's no tracking, hidden history, obsolete records, usage analytics or homing. Buku gets around the problem of having multiple incompatible bookmark formats across browsers and provides a standard way to sync bookmarks from any computer. You can even integrate it to save a URL in your clipboard with a keyboard shortcut. I'll let you know my experiences! And hopefully I find that alternative chrome extension repository I was looking for. Join @takebackourtech to level up ⤴️

It runs a #bluetooth#mesh network, end to end #e2e#encryption, and rolling IDs and is picking up traction. I share my thoughts on the app, and concerns I have - but that’s not even the real story. I think Jack has a bigger message than just the app. World’s First #eSIM Hack: A security lab out of Poland just demonstrated a hack on one of the largest SIM providers for IoT devices.
