    Gitlab: oops nevermind https://www.theregister.com/2022/08/05/gitlab_reverses_deletion_policy/

  2. qy

    TIL that was policy?!

  3. Millesimus

    For a day or so.

    Gitlab's worse than github in my mind these days

  5. Schimon

    Wasn't Gitlab the one that acquired Gitorious?

  9. Martin

    And gitbucket. 😇

  10. Schimon

    What's hublab?

  11. Schimon

    Gitbucket was good

  12. Martin

    Git(hub|lab)?

  13. Schimon

    oh

    spiral: Honestly, it's not difficult to implement a client to teach you the protocol.

  15. nav

    Writing a full, usable client, that's a different story, but something that can send and receive stanzas is a couple of days' worth of your time.

  16. nav

    I actually did that just last week. 😇

  17. MattJ

    Even a server doesn't take much more than that

  18. nav

    Wanted to write a simple component in Lisp and there were no libraries for the dialect I was using (Racket), so (re-)wrote a bare-bones low-level library to do the job (here: https://gitlab.com/navlost.eu/xmpp/libraries/racket/xmpp)

  19. MattJ

    I had messages exchanged between two clients after just a weekend

  20. nav

    MattJ: I felt almost tempted, just as an exercise. ☺

  21. nav

    What does take significant effort is implementing enough of XEP-0459 at a releasable level of quality.

  22. nav

    For SASL, you'd probably want to use a library. That should give you SCRAM and others for free along with PLAIN.

    MattJ: With Prosody?

    Great feeling the first time a message comes out the other end! 🤪
