Acabo de ver mas o menos cuánto es el consumo de memoria RAM de varios clientes de #xmpp
Mi obsesión por usar apps que consuman poca RAM me empuja a usar #profanity, que, por cierto, anda perfecto por el momento.
Ahora, a recordar algunos comandos, que hace mucho no lo uso! 
@debacle Gracias! En Kali estoy en #X11 también, con #xfce. Gajim v2.1.1.1-2.
Es verdad, no es lo más rápido que hay, y consume bastante memoria... acabo de lanzar #gajim, #pidgin, #dino, y #profanity, y los consumos de memoria residente son muy dispares:
* Gajim: 309M
* Dino: 507M
* Pidgin: 129M
* Profanity: 45M
Me quedo con Profanity por mi obsesión con el bajo consumo de RAM 
Joder, qué mal que amdan algunas cosas de #gajim en #kalilinux... parece que no se lleva bien con #xfce
Abro una ventana como el About o las preferencias, y responde muy lento, a veces no responde, y para que se dibuje el contenido, tengo que mover la ventana princpal de Gajim.
Será cosa del #xfce? del compositor?
Sigo con #pidgin con ganas de pasarme a #profanity 
Aktuelle sieht es danach aus, dass ich auf der #froscon einen kleinen Workshop zu #XMPP Programmierung gebe.
Lasst uns einen kleinen Bot programmieren, so kann man das Protokoll etwas kennenlernen. Wer danach auch noch Interesse an #profanity (XMPP Client) hat, kann gerne auf mich zukommen.
Außerdem einen kleinen "Workshop" zu #Debian. Debian hat an dem Tag Geburtstag, dann können wir die Gelegenheit nutzen
Bei Interesse sollte man mal bei DevRaum der #TroLUG vorbei schauen. Da wird es wohl auch viel #Jabber geben.

for some reason #profanity makes an c abort when I try to connect to #disroot xmpp server. I thought that it was the server because #disroot hahaha but I noticed that is profanity aborts for some reason. I don't know and honestly I don't want to deep it in for the moment, probably is a good opportunty to try #poezio now that they fixed the omemo dependencies issues.

@rikylinux_ar genial, el otro día volví a xmpp, lo tenía olvidado... Me voy a poner a buscar salas para ver si me paso más tiempo dentro 
Por cierto, un tiempo usé #profanity en terminal, e iba excelente. Hoy debería buscar documentación para acordarme de los comandos 
Mientras, estoy conectado desde #thunderbird.
