What logical fallacy, exactly? I think you're perhaps misunderstanding the conversation. This translates just fine to your proposed analogy. In your analogy, the claim would be that some online account is tied to a laptop and whoever p

You're very wrong, because account takeover can still happen due to a compromised email account. People can and do permanently lose access to their email account to a third party.

Prosody dev here. Good to know this is useful :) One of my favourite small features we added in the latest release is a 'prosodyctl check features' command which will validate that your configuration is up to date with current bes

I'm curious which aspect(s) became a time sink for you? I self-host a bunch of stuff myself. I can't say I never spend time on it, but it's measured in hours per year. Once stuff is set up, it just runs.

That's unusual that you struggled to build Lua. Lua is primarily C89, and used on non-POSIX microcontrollers for example. There are some optional bits of the standard library you would have to leave out - module loading uses dlopen().

Yeah. I'd be surprised if Apple didn't use similar logic. XMPP can do multiple ports (a deployment can specify the recommended order in DNS). I've not heard of an all-ports deployment, but it does sound like an interesting ex

I see these comments a lot from people who have very old deployments and didn't keep up with changing best practices. The users of these deployments also tend to be using out-of-date software such as Pidgin to access their account. The

As an open-source XMPP project, we tried hard to find iOS developers willing to help with development (as volunteers, or even paid) and it's just so hard to find people in this intersection of interests. If anyone reading this thread h

The default ports are often blocked on such networks (public wifi, corporate firewalls, etc.), but also often open. 5222 is used by e.g. WhatsApp, 5223 is used by e.g. Apple push notifications. So it's not as bad as it could be. But it

ejabberd should work fine, it won't care. But you're right - whether apps will allow you to accept self-signed certificates can vary. Some are strict and don't allow bypass, others may just issue a warning prompt that you can

Or push notification support (which is the same, but basically the OS (Android/iOS) is the thing holding an open connection :) )

Spotify has an option to show songs in your playlists which have been removed. In the mobile app, Settings->Content and Display->Show unplayable songs. Hope this helps!

You're not wrong at all, but despite it all, XMPP has actually supported push notifications for years. For various reasons it wasn't included "out of the box" in Prosody for a while and was maintained as a community plug

Git allows deleting commits, and the whole .git directory can be deleted. I'm sure there are enough instances of git frustration out there on the web (the training data) of people doing exactly that to recover from problems with their

I agree, but only for situations where the probabilistic nature is acceptable. It would be the same if you had a large team of humans doing the same work. Inevitably misclassifications would occur on an ongoing basis. Compare this to the si

Of course XMPP doesn't count... even though it's a standard, allows people to run their own server, have an email-like address of user@server, allows you to communicate from anywhere, and is how I, my family, and many many others

I agree with you that "server-managed" E2EE wouldn't really be E2EE, and I agree about most proprietary platforms lacking the necessary transparency around this. From the XMPP perspective though, I want to clarify that ejabbe

I admire Dijkstra for many things, but this has always been a weak argument to me. To quote: "when starting with subscript 1, the subscript range 1 ≤ i < N+1; starting with 0, however, gives the nicer range 0 ≤ i < N" So it

You should take a look at Fennel ( https://fennel-lang.org/ ) then - it takes Lua in a lisp direction, including macro support.
