We even saw it with RSS. Everyone using RSS was lamenting Google Reader going away. Isn't the client supposed to be the most easily replaceable part of RSS?

On the last point, it's a lot harder to manage than you're making it sound. A public org isn't going to gate signups.

I've always had this thought that the Trump administration's views of other countries comes disproportionately from insanely online users on Twitter and Reddit, who might actually be bots too. Like the thing about not working with

Anything posted there won't be elsewhere in minutes, maybe not ever. I'd probably use Twitter if I cared a lot about current events.

Happened to me when I did literally nothing but make an account. Tied to a Gmail.

It's gotten ridiculous. I get it if they have a login wall. I've had a Twitter account for years for occasional reasons. But suddenly it thinks I'm a bot and wants me to scan some QR code, download an app on my phone separate

Yes, you can't beat Microsoft at this, at best you can be a choice for those who want in-house instead of trusting Microsoft. Webex can't be run on-prem, can it? I vaguely know about the old Cisco Jabber.

I don't think Apple is the weak link here. Somewhere there must be a gateway between an XMPP server and the APNS. Maybe the server isn't handling it well. I do know APNS was super annoying to deal with before they added the HTTP A

I disagree. XMPP wasn't designed for it, and there are already others that have done E2EE better, while still having some downsides. The only way XMPP has an edge is by not doing E2EE.

The software playing field is different with AI. Like making nice mobile/desktop apps used to be a serious barrier.

I've tried designing an E2EE group chat system before and ran into all of these. They're not impossible to solve but are very hard. Telegram's official docs shrug off multi-device E2EE too, calling it a "mess."

by mahboi 1mo ago
I'd like Jabber to establish itself as the federated, non-E2EE chat platform. OMEMO is too little too late. You want E2EE so badly, you use Signal which has figured it out better than anyone else and is still glitchy. There's a re

The org can just host non-E2EE XMPP, and it'd be the same as this wrt trust, easier to implement too.

WhatsApp depends heavily on centralization.

Does XMPP reliably get push notifications on iOS?

"Signal doesn’t actually suck. It’s fine. It gets the job done. It lets me communicate with my friends." The beginning was complaining about Signal! What is XMPP needed for then? Also, doesn't seem like many people have frien

There's a weird number of shared words between Basque and old Armenian, also names of places. But I've only seen random articles trying to link the two, not real scientific papers.

You can use the 8-byte addresses earlier if you want, just requires your hosts and stuff in between to support v5, same story as with v6 there. The point is that you aren't asking everyone to do nearly as difficult of a migration to su

Meant that the states in those boxes work with ipv5. Yeah a totally unmodified ipv4 DHCP server would only accept queries over v4, but the address it leases would be valid for v5 too. I get why this part was unclear, it was assuming the afo

by mahboi 4mo ago
Exactly, it'd be horrible. They picked the right format for v6. The problem isn't the space size, it's the entropy. V6 addrs are randomly spread, but if you were using the most significant bytes first, you could have somethin

by mahboi 4mo ago
Github.com doesn't have an AAAA record, so I don't know how you're reaching it if you don't have a v4 anywhere. Even if they had that, they said that basic features like cloning repos won't work over v6. Only one ex

> "v-next" 8.8.8.8 isn't the same thing as IPv4 8.8.8.8, so you now have two "interfaces" running different versions of IP with identical addresses. Yes that's what I wanted. You don't do #4 that way. B
146.
by mahboi 4mo ago
Because devices randomly generate the last 64 bits of the address without coordinating. They need it to be long to avoid collisions.
147.
by mahboi 4mo ago
You need ipv4 to reach GitHub right now. The ipv5 "people can turn it on but not use the last bytes" stage wouldn't require ipv4 to reach it.

by mahboi 4mo ago
The problem is they designed v6 with no good compatibility in either direction. I get that there's no way for v6 to support v4, but at least going from v4 to v6 should've been easier. 6to4 etc didn't cut it. Assigning IPs, DN

Maybe your ISP is really tunneling v6 over v4?

Most people will never touch their router config, so the defaults are important. Default-deny inbound is better than allow. But it's surprisingly dumb that the router won't even let you configure it to allow, you sure there's
