Digital Audio and Sampling Explained

Xiph.org has just posted the second in its series of videos on digital media concepts and techniques. It's packed with information and demonstrations, and you're sure to learn a huge amount. As an added bonus, it's hosted by Monty, the creator of Ogg Vorbis (and many other amazing things). You couldn't ask for a more qualified teacher.

Watch below, or on Xiph.org.

There is also a detailed write up.

LSM 2012: Podcast of the conference

Timothée Jaussoin (Edhelas) and Guillaume Pasquet (Etenil) has given a conference in french on the Tuesday, 10th July.

We want to offer a transcript in the conference for the visually impaired and its translation to English. To do this, we need volunteers to make this work incredibly long and boring, that is impossible for a single person to achieve this goal.

Here is the full transcript produced by Clement, and here is the beginning of the timing of the transcription in SRT format. I advise you to open the video in Audacity, which you can listen to the soundtrack and note the time very precisely. Each sentence should be cut to stick on the sound.

The SRT file will be translated after. You could find all the others podcasts on the Wiki.

Disabled Accounts

Recently the jabber.org IM service has been the victim of massive and repeated denial of service attacks. The admin team strongly suspects that these attacks are related to the widespread and abusive use of jabber.org accounts by "customers" of KBot, a program for cheating at the DarkOrbit game. Even if the DoS attacks prove to be unrelated to KBot, the admin team has decided that use of jabber.org to communicate with KBot violates the jabber.org service policy. Although we are in the process of updating the service policy to more clearly define how this kind of usage is abusive, the dire nature of the current threat has forced us to take more immediate action. Therefore, we are disabling the accounts of every jabber.org user who communicates with KBot, and we have disabled new account registration to prevent further communication between jabber.org users and KBot. We do not take this step lightly, but given the current circumstances we have no other choice.

August 22, 2012 00:00

Account Registration Disabled

As part of our defensive measures against repeated DoS attacks, we have disabled new account registration until further notice.

Another Denial of Service

The previous DDoS attack has started again. As before, fallback measures are in place, but if your IM client doesn't handle DNS SRV records correctly then you might not be able to connect.

Proposed Changes to the Service Policy

We have posted proposed changes to the policy that governs use of the jabber.org IM service. Details, links, and instructions for providing feedback can be found in our post to the juser@jabber.org email list, see http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/juser/2012-August/006869.html.

Service Restored

We were able to completely restore service today. However, it is quite possible that the denial of service attack could be launched again at any time. If you were unable to connect during the outage, we recommend that you consider using a different IM client or reporting a bug to the developers of the IM client you use, since standard DNS fallback and XMPP reconnection methods should have been sufficient to keep you online after the first few hours of the attack.

Denial of Service

Today we have experienced a distributed denial of service attack against the jabber.org IM service. Although the web server and email server are running fine, we have been forced to take the IM service offline until your (volunteer!) admin team has time to determine appropriate countermeasures. UPDATE 2012-08-12: We've made some DNS fixes and some clients are now able to connect.

Corrected Security Certificate

The security certificate that we installed in December used a SHA-256 fingerprint, which theoretically is more secure but which some existing software can't handle yet. Therefore we have installed a corrected certificate using a SHA-1 fingerprint. If you've been receiving a certificate warning for the last few months, you shouldn't receive those anymore.

The starting point will be this release with the intent to produce a more regular release cycle.  I will try to outline a roadmap for future releases in the near future based on the current set of issues, feedback within the forums and of course developer contributions.

Spark 2.6.0 RC1 has been released

Spark 2.6.0 RC1 has been released on November 17, 2010. It was a long  period of silence since the last Beta 2 release and even longer since  the latest Final release. But the work was continued, one project leader  changed the other. There were a lot of changes in the code, both seen  in the UI (color changes, additional options and buttons) and under the  hood (lots of proprietary code replaced with open source analogs). Some  new features were introduced, bugs fixed, and of course some new bugs  introduced As i said, the work is constantly continued by 3-6 volunteer  contributors. The plan is to release RC2 in December and then the Final  release next year in January. Meanwhile we ask the community to try out  RC1 and report about the issues in the forums.

 

There is no official changelog still, so i will just give a link to a list of 2.6.0 bugs in the tracker, 90% of them are fixed already.

Downloads for different platforms can be found on Beta Releases downloads page

 

Important note before upgrading! In 2.6.0 RC1 user's profile path has been changed to ..Username\Application Data\Spark (Windows XP), ..Username\AppData\Roaming\Spark (Vista/Win7) or $HOME/.Spark (Linux).  If you want to use same preferences and have old history, copy user's  profile folder to a new location and Spark will pick it up. Old location  was just the ..Username\Spark. There is no automatic import option in  the installer so far and it is not known if there will be one. So keep  this in mind.

GSoC '10: Mid-term approaching

Here comes another short update on my Google Summer of Code project.

Stanza acknowledgement is finally done, including representation in the GUI. You can see a short demonstration of the feature in the video below where I'm chatting with Matthew Wild, one of Prosody's main developers. He developed a module for Prosody that implements parts of Stream Management. This made my client side implementation much more easier to test.

The idea is simple: the status icon in the top left corner is replaced with a throbber animation, known to users from recent OSes and browsers, as long as there are messages that haven't been acked by the server.
Psi will at least request an ack after half a minute. However only if there's something to acknowledge for the server.

This week is mid-term evaluation of the Google Summer of Code projects. SCRAM support and stanza acknowledgement, which is the most important part of the Stream Management XEP, are both finished including GUI.
