Ignite Realtime Blog: Openfire 4.5.6 is released
Openfire 4.5.6 has been released, that addresses an annoying issue that was affecting the earlier 4.5.5 release. We’ve updated the bundled log4j library to version 2.17.1 for good measure.

Ignite Realtime Blog: Openfire 4.6.7 released (Log4j 2.17.1 only change)
Openfire 4.6.7 has been released with only a single change to bump the bundled log4j library to version 2.17.1. Whilst we do not believe Openfire to be vulnerable to the CVEs associated with the log4j 2.17.0 and 2.17.1 releases, we realize that many folks are running naive security scanners that are simply checking for bundled jar versions.

My thoughts about range requests

Additionally to pagination also range request should be used to reduce traffic.

I understand that there are corner cases making this a complicated matter.

I would like to see a meta header saying that the given twtxt is append only with increasing timestamps so that a simple strategy can detect valid content fetched per range request.

1. read meta part per range request
   
2. read last fetched twt at expected range (as known from last fetch)
   
3. if fetched content starts with expected twt then process rest of data
   
4. if fetched content doesn’t start with expected twt discard all and fall back to fetching whole twtxt
   

Pagination (e.g. archiving old content in a different file) will lead to point 4.

Of course especially pods should support range requests, correct @prologic@twtxt.net?

** Data Types and Variables in C **
I’ve been writing a heap of Lua lately — this has lead to my becoming interested, again, in C. Here are some ancient notes I dug up on the most basics of data types and variables in C.

All of a computer’s memory is comprised of bits. A sequence of 8 bits forms a byte. A group of bytes (typically 4 or 8) form a word. Each word is associated with a memory address. The address increases by 1 with each byte of memory.

In C, a byte is an object that is as big as t … ⌘ Read more
