As we've been approaching @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 1 I've wanted to put a count down into my #grafana dashboard on stream.
This was harder than I thought and required me to write a #prometheus exporter that does the actual work. Basically you give it some timestamps and a name and it'll expose the time remaining in seconds as a gauge.
So with 2 days left to this release, we finally have the countdown..

There is a head-spinning amount of IRC news to share again. The big ticket item for this season is the release of InspIRCd v4.0.0 server software after five years of development. They have a nice overview of the biggest changes. Protocol specifications A work-in-progress REDACT command was added, to be used for moderation and retracting accidentally sent messages among other things. Documentation Modern IRC Client Protocol docs received updates and clarifications related to KICK, TOPIC and CHANTYPES.
@grimmy goes all in for #IRCv3 in #Pidgin3 on Sunday. 🥳
