   The demise of XMPP has been greatly exaggerated. It's still very much alive and kicking.

   Bridges face the same hostile adversaries as multi-protocol clients. It's the same thing with a different architecture.

   Mercurial and Git were both created around the same time in response to the same need for the Linux kernel to find a new vcs.

   Indeed, and large-scale testing was just getting started during the first peak. IIRC the bump around June in the "new cases" data corresponds to a scale-up of testing capacity.

    From the point of view of an XMPP server developer, the main advantage of Matrix seems to be that they have a well-funded marketing department.

    The XMPP-IRC bridge Biboumi is great tho, https://biboumi.louiz.org/ But any bridge will be restricted to the lowest common denominator, often you get into weird corner cases where the two ends of the bridge work subtly dif

    Shout out to SCRAM (RFC 5802) which enables hashed password storage on both the client and the server.

    You can exchange things and establish a shared secret with someone, but it doesn't tell you who that someone is. You need something else to be sure you really did establish a shared secret with Bob, and not Eve. This could take the for

    Abstractly, it's exactly the same as git. Commit → File tree → File data blob. The underlying data structures used are different, but considered an internal detail, so could be changed in the future. Today, most data is stored in a &qu

    Github does own a vast share of the git-related developer mindshare tho, which is probably more valuable to Microsoft.

    Same here. Annoying peculiarities in their software drove me towards Linux. But then, I've only seen the user side, they supposedly try very hard to cater to developers. As someone preferring to self-host wherever possible, I don&#x27

    I would be very happy if everyone followed this example. Think of this as "modern" from now on. Return to the old, simple web that I know we all loved. Keep the lessons in usability and design learned in the last decade or two.

    SMS is federated, users of one providers can send messages to users of a different provider. Same with phone calls. Becoming a telephony provider probably takes a bit more investment than with some random Internet based service.
