Prosodical Thoughts: Mutation Testing in Prosody
This is a post about a new automated testing technique we have recently
adopted to help us during our daily development work on Prosody. It’s probably
most interesting to developers, but anyone technically-inclined should be able
to follow along!

If you’re unfamiliar with our project, it’s an open-source real-time messaging
server, built around the XMPP protocol. It’s used by many organizations and

Some IndieWeb protocols are complicated and there are sometimes no programming libraries to simplify the use of them, but ActivityPub is another beast. Although the standard is documented, the way the specific implementations (Mastodon etc.) work often isn’t and it’s hard to debug. So huge respect for the big rework. 👍 ⌘ Read more

Erlang Solutions: Updates to the MIM Inbox in version 5.1

When a messaging client starts, it typically presents the user with:

• an inbox
  
• a summary of chats (in chronological order)
  
• unread messages in their conversation
  
• a snippet of the most recent message in the conversation
  
• information on if a conversation is muted (and if so how long a conversation is muted for)
  
• other information that users may find useful on their welcome screen

Erlang Solutions: MongooseIM 5.1 Configuration Rework
MongooseIM is a modern messaging server that is designed for scalability and high performance. The use of XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) extensions (XEPs) means it is also highly customisable. Since version 4.0 it has been using the TOML configuration file format, which is much more user-friendly than the previously used Erlang terms. The latest release, MongooseIM 5.1, makes it more developer-friendly as well by … ⌘ Read more

Gemini capsule
Gemini is a lightweight Internet protocol. It’s heavier than Gopher

the web is the Apollo program.

Markdown-like markup language, instead of HTML. Gemini browsers don’t

Erlang Solutions: Introducing Stream Support In RabbitMQ
In July 2021, streams were introduced to RabbitMQ, utilizing a new blazingly-fast protocol that can be used alongside AMQP 0.9.1.

JMP: Why Bidirectional Gateways Matter
A big part of the vision of Sopranica, and Cheogram in particular, is bidirectional gateways.  A bidirectional gateway is one that allows (at a minimum) any user of either protocol to contact any user of the other protocol without creating an account.  This is not possible with all protocols, but works well when both sides are federated.

Take for instance sip.cheogram.com, which is a bidirectional gateway between XMPP and SIP.  Any … ⌘ Read more

It is scary how fast clickhouse can ingest data. Especially if you are using the binary protocol and not the HTTP one.

What if due to climate crisis effects and disasters our digital future will depend on low-energy hardware and protocols like Gemini?

Indeed! I think the first “network protocol client” I ever wrote was something that just did the PING/PONG part and passed everything else raw.

No, totally not useful. 🤣 I mean, the finger protocol is pretty trivial, and it’d be fun to add, but doesn’t replace anything you’re doing.

interesting RFC dated April 1st, 1998: Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0):

@mdosch@mdosch.de: Yes. I first thought gopher would be a good protocol for this purpose. But HTTP has the advantage, that you don’t always need to fetch the whole file. You can do a HEAD and check for last-modified header.

@mdosch@mdosch.de: Yes, #txtnish uses curl and can therefore handle all curl supported protocols.

Programming and proving with distributed protocol… https://blog.acolyer.org/2018/01/22/programming-and-proving-with-distributed-protocols/

Re: support for other protocols, it seems like twtxt would be pretty easily adapted to work over the p2p file network DAT, though it’d need client support for DAT or some way to follow people via files and sync in the background, which might be simpler for clients to support but would still require changes to most clients.

Also using curl with txtnish means I can pull from tons of protocols, #gopher #onion…

Additionally, there’s a lot that can be done by a client to reduce the network traffic and UI latency of twtxt without changing the protocol.

Although that would seperate the network in clients that can or can’t support some protocols. Not to mention if someone would mention me with my ipfs address and other with my http address

@kas@enotty.dk, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net (re: finger) That’s another neat thing about twtxt, it totally independent of any transport layer. ipfs, zeronet, finger, as long as the protocol has an url we could follow the ressource.

There are so many alternatives like ipfs or scuttlebutt, but i fear that we loose the simplicity of the old protocols. That in my mind is the main attraction of twtxt.
