    Hey what is a good library for writing some XMPP automation tooling in Perl?

  358. Ge0rG

    Python.

  359. jonas’

    I was about to say something similar ;D

  360. tom

    no that's a programming language

  361. tom

    I need an XMPP library

  362. moparisthebest

    Good luck

  363. Zash

    libpcre? ;)

  364. Ge0rG

    tom: you can call into python as `/usr/bin/python3 xmppbot.py` from perl

  365. tom

    please no trolling

  366. jonas’

    there is no sensible library for perl

  367. jonas’

    so this is the best we can do ;)

  368. Ge0rG

    https://xmpp.org/software/libraries/ - no perls.

  369. jonas’

    tom, depending on what you intend to do, you might be able to get away with an HTTP library and any of the HTTP<->XMPP modules for prosody.

  370. jonas’

    mod_rest or somesuch

  371. Zash

    https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/blob/master/data/libraries.json has 2 perl

  372. tom

    I found https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::XMPP and https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::XMPP3

  373. tom

    but i'm wondering if there are some better libs

  374. moparisthebest

    tom: I wrote sendxmpp replacements for the original perl sendxmpp because it quit working years ago

  375. Zash

    net::XMPP and AnyEvent::XMPP, but since nobody has claimed that they are maintained, they are excluded from the listing on the website

  376. COM8 has joined

  377. stuart.j.mackintosh

    tom: the Perl devs are either on IRC or Slack - I can conect you to the Slack channel if you like, and I might be able to connect you up with the module developer

  378. stuart.j.mackintosh

    Would be great to get XMPP conversations in the Perl & Raku community, they might consider dropping Slack at some point. An evaluation was made of XMPP vs a bunch of other messaging platforms a while ago, no conclusion was made so Slack remained.

  379. tom

    stuart.j.mackintosh, if you could connect me that would be great, but i'm not willing to download a binary blob to my computer and run it from a shady adtech company. Maybe you could let me use a network transport of some kind? I'm not opposed to paying money for a well supported development library/toolkit as long as it's fully open and auditable. One thing in particular I find really weird is that a lot of libraries on CPAN all stopped development in 2014. The same perculilar thing happened to a lot of open source GIS software on the osm wiki. at least 5 different open routing engines all completely stopped development in 2014. Was there a particular event going on at that time or a brain draon?

  380. stuart.j.mackintosh

    IRC is the open option for the Perl community right now. I am encouraging a move to XMPP there (as I am in many places) however find that there is similar misinformation about XMPP in Perl land, as there is about Perl in XMPP land. For now, Slack is the space, and I understand why that is a barrier.

  381. stuart.j.mackintosh

    If you see developer names in the modules that you would like to be connected with, drop me a direct message. I wasnt so close to the community around 2014 so don't have insight in to the causes.

  382. Zash

    XMPP is a protocol, Slack is a product. Comparing them is not going to produce useful results

  383. stuart.j.mackintosh

    Zash - yes, that was my argument

  384. COM8 has left

  385. stuart.j.mackintosh

    The users didn't want to think about that, they wanted to send messages.

  386. Zash

    And there sadly aren't many things in the XMPP world targeting the Slack use case.

  387. stuart.j.mackintosh

    Movim is reasonable, however seems to have imperfect alignment to other clients

  388. stuart.j.mackintosh

    Movim is a reasonable Slack competitor on XMPP, however seems to have imperfect alignment to other clients

  389. stuart.j.mackintosh

    > And there sadly aren't many things in the XMPP world targeting the Slack use case. My view is that many of the Slack features are not relevant to most users anyway, it creates other barriers, and XMPP is a better fit for the needs of the Perl & Raku commuities anyway.

  395. stuart.j.mackintosh

    tom are you asking if Slack is a smartphone app?

  396. tom

    is the story any different for Raku XMPP libraries?

  397. tom

    stuart.j.mackintosh, no i was asking about movim?

  398. pep.

    It's a web app

  399. stuart.j.mackintosh

    Movim is a web client for XMPP, and it also has a mobile app.

  400. pep.

    Which is just a PWA nowadays

  401. Zash

    I thought it was a server-side client

  402. pep.

    Yeah it's a server-side client really :P

  403. stuart.j.mackintosh

    yes, more than jsut a web client

  404. stuart.j.mackintosh

    therefore behaves more like Slack

  405. Zash

    There is a mobile Movim app tho, IIRC

  406. stuart.j.mackintosh

    yes, never used it though

  407. tom

    this one had an update in 2017 https://github.com/kalkin/Net-XMPP

    >XMPP can pretty much covers what ActivityPub offers (feeds, comments, articles publication) with a lot more related features (presences, contact list, video-conferencing, chatrooms…). Also, social features on XMPP are basically Atom 1.0 on top of Pubsub, so no need to convert Atom to some new JSON format, you simply embed it! (ArsTechnica on XMPP Pubsub https://nl.movim.eu/?node/news.movim.eu/ArsTechnica, or my personnal blog https://nl.movim.eu/?blog/edhelas@movim.eu). Is there any software that actually implements the client end of this?

    Well, the SVG image part is broken anyhow still, but that isn't specific to you... and i still havent investigated that, if there is anything other specific you might want to make a ticket

  495. Link Mauve

    That’s it I think.

  496. Link Mauve

    I quite like SVG, so I use it wherever I can.

  497. Link Mauve

    (My avatar says hi!)

  498. tom

    and it's not that I won't use python

  499. nephele

    tom: would be cool if your site used the dark mode thing though ;)

  500. Link Mauve

    Then jp as pep. suggested might be good for you, it’s part of Libervia.

  501. tom

    it's that if I'm building a new technology of my own, I don't want to base it on python which will become deprecated in a few years and force changes just because guido thinks it's better

  502. antranigv has joined

  503. tom

    i need a stable foundation

  504. nephele

    Link Mauve: ah yes i see, if you make the viewport bigger they all render

  505. nephele

    your site is an excelent testcase, i can use it to investigate the svg drawing issues :)

  506. tom

    nephele, provide your own CSS for that

  507. Link Mauve

    Nice!

  508. Link Mauve

    I don’t have a big screen atm, so 1366×768 is all I can afford.

  509. nephele

    tom: :root { color-scheme: light dark; }

  510. tom

    nephele, if you make a css for my site that looks nice and is dark i'll include it as a alternative stylesheet

  511. nephele

    It's not an alternate stylesheet, just a media querry, otherwise it will not work with the dark mode option

  512. tom

    yeah i'm not doin that

  513. tom

    the only browsers that actually implement that are google chrome and firefox

  514. tom

    and only the latest versions

  515. nephele

    Somehow, WebPositive does it just fine...

  516. tom

    that aren't very portable or run on older hardware

  517. tom

    I don't care about technologies that require gigabytes of ram to just render a paragraph of text on a screen

  518. tom

    that's retarded

  519. Link Mauve

    I just tested, Movim runs fine in Epiphany.

  520. Link Mauve

    Which is based on neither Chromium nor Firefox.

  521. Zash

    What about NetSurf?

  522. tom

    Zash, netsurf fully implements XHTML1.1 and CSS2

  523. tom

    though

  524. tom

    it sems to have some bug with tiled background textures

  525. tom

    but it still renders

  526. tom

    i'm really rooting for netsurf

  527. Link Mauve

    Ah, but Movim in Epiphany still has the issue that messages from a MUC are all duplicated… edhelas?

  529. tom

    nephele, what browser is that running on haiku?

  530. nephele

    Normally WebPositive, HaikuLauncher is just a launcher for webkit directly

  531. tom

    and what renderer does webpositive use?

  532. nephele

    The same one

  533. tom

    webkit?

  534. nephele

    Yes

  535. tom

    nephele, why is there a comma instead of a period in your memory monitor?

  536. tom

    that is meant to be a period right?

  537. tom

    also can webkit be had directly or only through qtwebkit?

  538. Link Mauve

    AFAIK QtWebKit is abandonned, it’s now QtWebEngine based on Chromium.

  539. tom

    why is your memory usage so low with webkit? webkit on my system wants to gobble up hundreds of megs and still be dirt slow with tons of mutex issues and segfaults

  540. nephele

    No, it's ment to be a comma, it's different to the american notation. but it does mean what you expect: the devider to indicate where to split the main part from the fractions

  541. Link Mauve

    There is still WebKit2GTK which is alive and kicking.

  542. nephele

    tom: qtwebkit is unmaintained, don't use it really. we have our own port called haikuwebkit

  543. tom

    nephele, does your port have mutex issues?

  544. Kev has left

  545. Kev has joined

  546. nephele

    haikuwebkit uses the native memory allocator anyhow, and native apis for most stuff

  547. tom

    and do you have a element blocker similar in functionality to ublock origin and nmatrix?

  548. nephele

    thus the low memory requirements, it's not that much of a damn blackbox like chromium

  549. tom

    interesting

  550. tom

    is there a linux or bsd port of haikuwebkit?

  551. nephele

    not sure what you mean with mutex issues, for the second part: no we do not. Webkit itself has an incredibly fast api for this blocking stuff but it's not activated in our port yet :/ for now you'd have to use hosts or something

  552. tom

    nephele, well I've used otter-browser and the kde falcon thing

  553. nephele

    >is there a linux or bsd port of haikuwebkit? No, also because there are no haiku apis on linux ;), you can use epiphany though, the gnome browser based on webkit

  554. tom

    they had major issues freezing and locking up the whole program during loading of network resources

  555. tom

    omg fucking gnome shit

  556. tom

    no thanks

  557. nephele

    kde falcon uses qtwebengine/chromium afaik

  558. tom

    there's gotta be an option though

  559. tom

    nephele, it used to use webkit

  560. nephele

    yes.. but qtwebkit is ancient

  561. nephele

    and it was always stuck on webkitlegacy

  562. Kev has left

  563. Kev has joined

  564. nephele

    I think there is a vi-like browser based on webkit for linux too?

  565. tom

    I WILL NOT BE ASSIMILATED you here?

  566. Link Mauve

    If you don’t want to use Epiphany, you also have Midori which uses webkit2gtk on Linux.

  567. tom

    Link Mauve, does that have any dependency on gtk3?

  568. Link Mauve

    It’s in the name.

  569. Link Mauve

    webkit2gtk.

  570. nephele

    kind of ironic that kde doesn't have webkit really... considering they are responsible for khtml

  571. Link Mauve

    Although maybe a port to gtk4 is in progress?

  572. tom

    if it's gtk2 it's fine, but i don't know if that's webkit version 2 or gtk version 2

  573. tom

    if it's any gtk version 3 or newer i can't use it

  574. nephele

    webkit2 is just an api

  575. nephele

    there is also WPE (webkit port embeded) that runs on linux, but it is probably not very usefull. I really liked using links2 on linux though

  576. Link Mauve

    tom, too bad then, enjoy NetSurf and w3m I guess.

  577. nephele

    I thought netsurf uses gtk on linux?

  578. tom

    nephele, netsurf has a gtk2 version

  579. tom

    on linux

  580. Link Mauve

    gtk2 is unmaintained, don’t use it.

  581. Link Mauve

    I can’t imagine the amount of security issues present in its webkit1 port.

  582. Link Mauve

    Or, well, I can very well imagine. ^^'

  583. nephele

    Linux development cycles make lots of dead software .-.

  584. tom

    at this point i don't give a shit about security unless the software is actually usuable first

  585. Link Mauve

    nephele, webkit1 is very dead, everywhere.

  586. nephele

    >I can’t imagine the amount of security issues present in its webkit1 port. That explains the memory usage of quaternion, all those html exploits need memory :D

  587. Link Mauve

  594. sonny has left

  595. nephele

    for older applications to preserve their binary compat, but the renderer inside is still the same version webkit2 does have

  596. Link Mauve

    nephele, oh, TIL.

    I thought it had been removed from WebKit ages ago.

  600. nephele

    Link mauve: no... haiku also still uses it ;)

  601. pulkomandy

    just "webkitlegacy" and "webkit" now

  602. Link Mauve

    TIL.

  603. pulkomandy

    and yes we're still using the single process version, which is kept alive I think only because of some old iOS apps otherwise?

  604. tom

    > tom, too bad then, enjoy NetSurf and w3m I guess. unless I find a better option than doing this, I'm not going to use technologies that don't work with them

  605. tom

    though i do maintain my own browser

  606. pulkomandy

    I'm trying to migrate our port away from it. But probably we should discuss this elsewhere :)

  608. nephele

    pulkomandy: ah.. fair point, kind of forgot where i am :D

  609. tom

    most of the security issues and premature deprecation of software are due to gimmicky and frivlous javascript """features""""

  610. tom

    driven by adtech

  611. Link Mauve

    Ah right, here is about XMPP software development.

  612. tom

    disable javascript and you don't have to worry so much about ads and security problems

  613. tom

    yeah how did we get in this tangent?

  614. nephele

    Just block ads *shrug*

  615. Zash

    Just move into the woods and become potato farmer.

  616. bung has left

  617. tom

    nephele, the problem is that effective ad block is hard to reimplmeent. unblock origin and nmatrix did it very well

  618. pep.

    Zash, I'm sure they have to deal with JS also nowadays

  619. nephele

    tom: webkit does it way better

  620. pep.

    Nobody escapes it

  621. tom

    nephele, I'd like to test that, but webkit doesn't seem very accessible without it being wrapped in gnome shit

  622. tom

    gtk3/4 dependencies

  623. tom

    the web is a massive fucking boon and making your software dependent upon web technologies is a sure fire way to ensure dependency hell from something being deprecated or changed frivilously in less than a years's time

  632. tom

    Zash, gnome3+, whatwg html5/javascript/really just whatever the latest version of google chrome is doing, are just not messes i'm willing to deal with any longer

  633. tom

    I've re-rewitten my apps every other months to deal with stupid fucking gnome-foundation updates to gtk for years since 2014

  639. defanor

    tom, finding XMPP libraries can be a pain for many languages, but there are C libraries to which it's easy to make bindings from Perl, as well as libraries capable of providing a C API. Depending on a task, might also be a suitable option to implement a small part in whatever language a maintained and suitable library is written in, just to provide an interface, and have the rest in your preferred language.

  640. tom

    defanor, that' might work. thankyou

    I'm not familiar with VacuumIM's profile password/encryption, but guessing that it's a password that is entered by a user upon running the client, basically creating its custom password store.

  683. tom

    i don't see any security benefit if the private key is stored in the same file, so i'm wondering if there was another reaso nthis was don

  684. defanor

    It looks like the key is encrypted. Or do you mean that the password itself is stored too, so you can decrypt everything based just on the data readily available from that file?
