Hello! 👋 I haven’t lost the desire to blog, nor have I decided on Digital Detox, it’s just that I’m currently busy moving. Instead of continuing to program my own stuff after work and pouring my thoughts into blog articles, I had to pack boxes.

Then my blogging frequency will probably remain rather low, because I still have to clear out the old apartment, but I may have a little more … ⌘ Read more

JMP: Why Bidirectional Gateways Matter
A big part of the vision of Sopranica, and Cheogram in particular, is bidirectional gateways. A bidirectional gateway is one that allows (at a minimum) any user of either protocol to contact any user of the other protocol without creating an account. This is not possible with all protocols, but works well when both sides are federated.
Take for instance sip.cheogram.com, which is a bidirectional gateway between XMPP and SIP. Any … ⌘ Read more
