Hello users!
Offline messages are now back after a short maintenance window yesterday. After speaking with a user that thought offline messages are very important, and much needed for instant messaging services.. I fully agreed and decided to enable the module again after the attack we underwent a few months ago. Despite the shortcomings of the offline messages module in Prosody, I believe this to be important. Previously, if you were offline, even for a short period of time, messages could be lost. This would obviously be annoying, as pretty much any modern IM service will just store messages server-side until the user is online. So.. In the meantime hopefully things hold up. In the meantime I will have systems constantly monitor everything server-side to alert me of any potential issues.
In other news.. I’ve patched Tor packages on the server due to the recent CVE‘s. I’m also continuing to research new modules (been busy) that I can add to support more XEPs. The following are on my list for testing:
