“Profanity” is an XMPP app. (For those who got the wrong idea about the title)
What I use:
- Debian with Profanity (preferred for the proper keyboard and TUI)
- Android with Snikket
What my low-tech comrades use:
- iOS with Snikket
It’s a bit of a disaster. One iOS-Snikket user gets my msgs but never a notification. Another iOS-Snikket user is plagued with that error msg (some bogus msg about OMEMO being unsupported). My comrades are at the edge of sanity since I’m the one who imposed xmpp+omemo on them, and they have little tolerance for all the problems.
I’m not sure what to try next. I would hate to replace Profanity because it’s the only decent text based option with official debian support. Would it help if the iOS users switch from Snikket to Monocles?
Hmm, yes if Profanity forgets the public keys of other chat participants then it can not encrypt messages for them. But it seems odd that Profanity would lose those keys. Most people complain about too many keys in XMPP apps ;) Is it possible to replicate the issue in Profanity so that you could open a bug report?
Otherwise, assuming you want to stick to TUI clients, maybe try https://poez.io/ ? It seems to be packages for Debian as well. There is also a new project that might be worth a try: https://github.com/paulfariello/aparte/
Thanks for the info… i’ll check out poezio for sure.
Regarding the bug, it has already been reported→ https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity/issues/1615
Might also be worth looking at Libervia’s TUI.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Quick 1st thoughts on Poezio. I’ve installed it but not used it. From the docs I see that OMEMO support is not integrated. OMEMO is a plugin from a separate pkg that is not packaged on Debian. So that could be dicey. There is also no proxy setting but hopefully torsocks will work.
