[07:16:11] <> Hello ??
[07:16:26] <> Super newbie here
[07:16:38] <> had a few questions, wondering if anybody can help?
[07:19:09] <> you'll never know, unless you ask them
[07:19:32] * luisgf joined the chat.
[07:20:07] <> hi
[07:28:46] <> Well, a friend of mine told me he has a jabber account
[07:28:49] <> @jabber.ru
[07:29:00] <> And he said, message me on my account
[07:29:03] <> How can I do that ?
[07:29:16] <> I have an account @xabber.de - I am not sure if I can do that?
[07:46:18] <> jollyroger: if the servers that you and your friend use federate (i.e. are able to talk to one another), it should work fine
[07:47:10] <> if one uses a server that does not federate, (s)he would only be able to talk to users of the same server
[08:04:38] * yuppinturic joined the chat.
[08:15:39] * TabTwo joined the chat.
[08:21:56] <> wow
[08:22:14] <> how can I find out if they are able to "federate" ?
[08:26:51] <> jollyroger: most public, if not all, listed public XMPP servers are federated
[08:27:40] <> But for those that use XMPP as the foundation for their own particular chat services (like private chat for AIM, Facebook chat, Google Plus, etc) don't federate or half way do it.
[08:28:30] <> Another fun example: League of Legends.
[08:28:34] <> They use XMPP for in-game chat
[08:28:57] <> and you can do something with Pidgin to continue chatting with those playing in-game in LoL, except that the servers don't federate :)
[08:29:01] <> but anyway
[08:29:37] <> yeah, just check the listings out there for all public XMPP servers and more likely than not you'll land on something that you can access rooms to and talk to people.
[08:33:59] <> so how do I message my friend ?
[08:35:37] <> Just add him to your contact list
[08:35:37] <> and then click on his nick in your contact list and then go "clickty clickty clack!" on your keyboard :D
[08:35:38] <> im sorry i am so new to this
[08:35:38] * harlock left the chat.
[08:35:49] <> jollyroger: it's cool
[08:49:44] <> ok so I am using Pidgin
[08:50:02] <> do I click Buddies -> Add Buddy
[08:50:04] <> and then type in hisname@jabber.ru ?
[08:52:04] <> yep
[08:52:16] <> jollyroger: that's pretty much how you do it?
[08:52:16] <> Ok cool, and then he has to authorize me ?
[08:52:19] <> sorry*
[08:52:24] <> yep
[08:52:26] <> pretty much
[08:52:29] <> swee
[08:52:29] * intosi joined the chat.
[08:52:31] <> sweet
[08:52:34] <> Thank you for bearing with me
[08:52:47] <> jollyroger: that's cool; we've got to start somewhere.
[08:53:09] <> Yeah, it's just a lot of experienced people don't have patience for newbies
[08:53:50] <> Oy don't get me started.
[08:53:53] <> I know what you mean.
[08:54:32] <> I am big into other protocols and I always try and help newbies. But when I end up being the newbie, it is hard to find help. And most of the online tutorials are useless.
[08:54:46] <> oops
[08:54:59] <> /me remembers having a video up on Youtube but took it down a while back
[08:55:12] <> Its like, go make account, enter it into pidgin and chat with your buddies
[08:55:14] <> I did have one that talked how you can get started with Pidgin with XMPP
[08:55:16] <> But it never goes into detail
[08:55:18] <> but I took it down.
[08:55:21] <> That sucks
[08:55:35] <> ehhh I'll make another one
[08:55:40] <> someday <.<
[08:55:48] <> lol
[08:56:07] <> See i got nervous because I saw that my video was getting a lot of hits by India
[08:56:13] <> LOL
[08:56:18] <> why does that make you nervous ?
[08:56:21] <> and the mid-east months before the so-called "arab spring" and then
[08:56:29] <> hahahhahaha
[08:56:37] <> there are reports later on saying that some xmpp servers were getting flooded with arab language rooms
[08:56:42] <> and I thought "I wonder if..."
[08:56:47] <> and then I just took it down.
[08:57:20] <> Because it was getting to a point where some rooms were made permanent
[08:57:25] <> and then left behind
[08:57:56] <> and after a while, well at least according to the admin for neko.im, it was becoming a bit of a potential security issue.
[08:58:19] <> And plus I was targeting the video towards English-speakers
[08:58:20] <> oh I see
[08:58:36] <> Does XMPP have built in encryption?
[08:58:38] <> but since no one in the U.S. it seems is interested genuinely in the protocol
[08:58:41] <> I just thought "fuck it"
[08:58:44] <> and took it down.
[08:58:57] <> according to the specs it does.
[08:59:16] <> and now recently there's a call for an "always on" option I believe if I understood the memo correctly
[08:59:32] <> whereas before there was, but on a packet by packet basis.
[08:59:44] <> (again I'm not too sure with the specifics)
[08:59:54] <> No problem
[08:59:59] <> It is just so new to me
[09:00:03] <> but I'll tell you this
[09:00:31] <> this is the same protocol that AIM uses for it's "private chat" option
[09:00:39] <> they don't use their own protocol for such options
[09:00:46] <> so that should give you a hint
[09:01:01] <> hmmmm
[09:01:07] <> as far as security goes for this protocol
[09:03:01] <> jollyroger: anyway, glad I could help
[09:03:03] <> see you around.
[09:03:18] <> Thank you sono
[09:03:26] <> No worries
