Somehow I'd thought the world had moved beyond wholesale port-blocking for spam-control. Guess not. -

I don't think I'd enjoy vodka and tacos together. But maybe that's just because I don't generally enjoy vodka.... -

Today is apparently both National #Taco Day *and* National #Vodka Day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_food_days -

I worry that clever WILPF poster misses the more subtle and probably more important points about both #education and #war, and #economics: https://www.hackerposse.com/~rozzin/journal/politics/funding-schools-and-wars.html -

I keep confusing myself with this tabset.... Can you guess what the rest of the title is in the tab on the left in this #screenshot? http://status.hackerposse.com/attachment/11984 -

So, do !gs bookmarks not federate anymore, or did I break something on my instance again? :) -

@bobjonkman, the Hangouts/XMPP gateway is based on this #Python "hangups" library: https://github.com/tdryer/hangups -

If you really need to #IM with people via #Google, here's a nice #XMPP gateway for your side: https://github.com/ZeWaren/jabber-hangouts-transport -

@bobjonkman, at this point #GoogleTalk is (just) a pretty shitty #XMPP server: it's missing a whole bunch of important XEPs like Carbons and fully-functional MUCs, and it doesn't do back-end #TLS so most (better) servers will refuse to talk to it. -

So, #GoogleTalk still works and is still #federated #XMPP, but is an #island WRT other #Google services: there are no lines of direct communication with the Google mainland, despite being able to still see the lights on in the distance sometimes. -

#Google's migration of #GMail users from the #GoogleTalk backend to Hangouts would have actually been pretty good for an internal corporate rollout where 100% migration was achieved with intense handholding. But for something this public, they should have at least sent stragglers an e-mail with specific hard cut-over dates—instead of assuming that if you weren't present for the parade then you didn't matter. -

For a while #GoogleTalk was still available via #Google's webUIs, but then they switched the back end on those to Hangouts for everyone and removed the option for which back-end was in use. And for a while they displayed prominent notices about what was going on, but then eventually they stopped doing that. So if you went some period of time without using #GMail for example, you might have missed all of the banners. -

Hm. Apparently I cannot join https://sn.pztrn.name/group/xmpp. POST to https://sn.pztrn.name/main/salmon/group/122 returns 400 part way through the process.... -

#Google didn't so much shut down their !XMPP federation support as just stop maintaining it (which one could argue is actually worse); there's some info in "No, it's not the end of XMPP for Google Talk": http://xmpp.org/2015/03/no-its-not-the-end-of-xmpp-for-google-talk/ -

Wow—I could have sworn I was subscribed to the XMPP group.... I guess I must be remembering the identi.ca-hosted group of yore....
