    From phigan@VERT/TACOPRON to All on Saturday, March 08, 2025 23:52:22
    Has anyone thought about adding some kind of MQTT support to Synchronet? Maybe
    echicken? :)

    My thinking was for interfacing with meshtastic, so maybe just email or
    interbbs messaging. Regular messages might often be too big. I suppose email
    would be, too, with quoting and such.

    MQTT supported was one of the big features added in v3.20 in January of this year.

    While I have no idea about Sync, or its development, I would also support this... I'm a Meshtastic user, and I use MQTT for other smart home projects - LOL, imagine a BBS where a light flashes when a user wants to chat. :P I'm all for new technologies in this community - but many disagree.

    Holy heck. I guess I do remember reading that in the changelogs - that is so cool, DM... I really wish I would have stuck with Sync and just customized it so much that it looked like my own.

    After learning more about Sync, I realize that even the [small] things I didn't like were likely able to customize out. [Simply like the 'this is a Synchronet BBS' login stuff...]

    Thank you for continuing to develop the most advanced BBS software there ever was.

    This is my node-red control panel for synchronet using mqtt.

    I use text to speech to announce when a new user account is created,
    but not between 11pm and 7am.

    The first official release with MQTT support was this year. The previous release (v3.19) did not support MQTT.

    Ahhh, yes, the official release thing. Many of us on the Linux dev
    update train have seen it for a bit longer... ;-) Thanks for
    clarifying.
