# review of a handful of XMPP clients (and notes)

=> https://atalk.sytes.net/atalk/ aTalk
seems to be the winner because it has encrypted text/video/audio and can do video/audio with other installations of itself

=> https://movim.eu/ movim
doesn't have encrypted chat using OMEMO or OTR. it has video and audio, but I haven't gotten it to work between two devices on my LAN :/

=> https://psi-plus.com/ psi-plus
is /supposed/ to support video and audio but I haven't been able to figure out how to get them working on debian.
I use this on my desktop

=> https://pidgin.im/ pidgin
same deal as psi-plus

=> https://gajim.org/ gajim
same deal as pidgin and psi-plus

=> https://jabber.pix-art.de/pix-art messenger. fork of conversations.
haven't tested. (german link)


## using admin user priv in prosody from psi-plus

in prosody, I have the register module disabled, and admin_adhoc enabled.
this is so admins are able to register new users without me getting 1000s of bots.
to use the adhoc commands from psi-plus, first you have to be logged in as the
account that is marked as admin in the prosody config.
Then you add the server itself as a contact, in my case "thebackupbox.net"
(notice. no user and @ sign, just the domain name)
then, you should get some notification thing at the bottom of the psi-plus window
click that to get it to pop up, to get it to go away.
right-click on the the server in your contacts list.
in that menu there should be an item named "Execute Command"
it should be a menu that has an item that is called "[Blank]"
click that, and a small window with a dropdown menu shows up.
select the command you want to do, run it I guess, fill in whatever form data it asks.
and you just ran a command on the server.
