I intended on enabling this on my servers, but since letsencrypt renews your certificates every few months, it would mean updating this setting on my nginx configuration. It also means that if something catastrophic happens (like a disk failure), the certificate would be lost, but browsers would still expect to see that same one.https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2015/09/22/im-giving-up-on-im/Tue, 22 Sep 2015 02:08:42 +0000https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2015/09/22/im-giving-up-on-im/I’ve been using XMPP as my primary IM protocol for years now. I’ve used a few other things on the side, but I’ve always advertised it as my primary mean of communication. And it’s really worked for a long time: lots of developers and people in FLOSS circles use XMPP, and Google Talk federated as XMPP too, so that worked for less tech-inclined users. In recent years, I also ended up having to use Facebook’s IM a bit more as well, since a lot of people I know only used that to online communication.
