[12:15:43] <emus> Maranda: There are some more points where we would be happy if you could place such info on the website:

*busFactor*: Statement must be added to website
*company*: It should be clarified on https://lightwitch.org who operates the service
*maximumMessageArchiveManagementStorageTime*: It should be clarified how many days messages are stored; Service stores up to 100000 messages for users through MAM; Conflicting statement on https://lightwitch.org/im-service/tos should be removed or updated
*professionalHosting*: Statement about uninterruptible power supply, access protection and backup details (location / frequency) must be added to https://lightwitch.org/im-service
[12:16:16] <emus> sorry I just copy pasted this from the outputs
[12:17:31] <emus> find some more detailed explainations: https://providers.xmpp.net/faq/
[12:30:06] <Maranda> Messages are store unlimitedly given the number threeshold if you go beyond the limit the oldest will get deleted
[12:33:40] <Maranda> Professional Hosting, servers are powered up by a 3000 vA UPS, and they're barred from outside access in our own DC, located in Milan. We regularly snapshot systems and do a backup on a daily schedule of all our systems.
[12:34:22] <Maranda> I'll update the statement on the ToS, regarding the rest we already had this discussion time ago, the service is operated by a privates initiative org. / association as we don't perceive fundings beyond a 7500 EURs yearly balance, that doesn't require formal entity registration in Italy.
[12:35:59] <Maranda> As I probably remarked the other time I have no idea about what this bus factor is
[12:55:33] <Maranda> emus: also I'd suggest to limit the technical impressum to a minimun, certain information shouldn't be divulged lightly and could pose a serious risk for operativity. I'm much against giving out detailery about our scheduling for backups.
[12:56:14] <Maranda> As that could be used or exploited by threat actors
[13:10:32] <emus> I understand, and yes I remember.

but what information could you place on the website and which not?
[13:11:52] <emus> > Bus Factor
> The term bus factor describes the minimum number of team members that the service could not survive losing.

[13:12:12] <emus> https://providers.xmpp.net/faq/#bus-factor
[13:14:08] <Maranda> emus: I corrected the TOS: https://lightwitch.org/im-service/tos
[13:14:26] <Maranda> and https://lightwitch.org/im-service
[13:15:57] <Maranda> BUS Factor I guess could be summarised like this: on the technical part there's just one person handling everything and that's myself only and it was always been like this for LW.Org for the past decade
[13:16:54] <Maranda> https://providers.xmpp.net/provider/lightwitch.org/ -> XMPP founding date is wrong it's up from 2009
[13:18:34] <Maranda> But I guess that you can sum that up to 2012 as public service
[13:19:42] <Maranda> I looked how to post an issue but it seems that I need a KDE identity? https://invent.kde.org/users/sign_in?redirect_to_referer=yes
[13:23:18] <emus> Maranda: The best thing would be to add the things you want to have right to the website. Then we can fix the information

yes, one can register, but we can.do it for you, we just need a reference on the website.

In.the future we want to automate even more

if you look at the copyright below the page it clearly says: © 2012-2022
[13:26:35] <Maranda> I think I did put all the technical information that I think being safe and non-exploitable on https://lightwitch.org/im-service
[13:26:51] <emus> Maranda: Ok thanks
