XMPP Service Operators - 2020-12-18

Good news, ejabberd, the last big XMPP server has now all SCRAM: - https://www.process-one.net/blog/ejabberd-20-12/ - https://www.reddit.com/r/xmpp/comments/kewccb/ejabberd_2012_processone/

The _last_, really?

remembers me to migrate to sql now

ejabberd is the major XMPP server.

» Most notably, ejabberd now works with the Microsoft ODBC Driver for the SQL Server support Why? Nobody runs MS-SQL because they want to, only because some application requires it Also MS-SQL is like the worst RDBMS there is It's slow, it's buggy, it's proprietary, it's bloated, it's expensive, it doesn't run as well on BSD and Linux

There is no area where MSSQL exceeds

tom: There is a place... Support Contract Price and Integration with other M$ (Massively SH_*Y) Software... Corp Admins Love Windows and rest is Obvious.....

You mean like the corpos who's entire network is dependant on cisco stuff and are too far in the whole to back out?

*hole

Thanks to Ubuntu now M$ is trying to grab NiX Ecosystem Developers to Use Windows for Developement and has crearted WSL and Docker for Win.. In Long run trying to adopt all Linux Featurrs and performance to bring back Windows as CloudOS...

I guess

It just doesn't make any sense to me why you'd make a new deployment of ejabberd on mssql

Instead of have a seperate server aside running postgres or something

God help those maintaining the mssql support

mssql? xD

Oh ok
