Cool. recvmmsg() used to be Linux-only, but now appears to be available on all the *BSDs.

Arrived in 7.2 (Oct 2022), and has been in since 11.0 and 7.0.

That is going to make this next bit of code easier.

To reaffirm my today - following my post earlier about FreeBSD freezing if a laptop doesn't have the battery installed (https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/112280720122710027), @jeffpc has prepared a patch and suggested I try it (https://reviews.freebsd.org/P636).
I did, and it worked.
This is the spirit that characterizes the open-source community and the fantastic members who comprise it.

When u think u get it, u don't get shit. Good thing I never thought I made it! I'm an eternal jr lookin' to learn somethin' new. Yesterday, I was struggling to run a simple Makefile and nothin' worked. What was the problem?

The platform LOL... on only make or make work. Especially bmake (I'm practicing C to contribute to some projects that always caught my eye). I'm crap!!!

Oh what joy. Seems like .app on no longer allows sending uncompressed 2.2 MB JPEGs.
My server advertises 250-SIZE 157286400 (accepts messages up to 150 MB) and base64-encoded 2.2 MB binary would weigh roughly ~2.86 MB.

What non-3rd party options are there to transfer pics from to laptop nowadays?

This is interesting: I've installed FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE on that laptop. However, every time I try to check the system's status with 'top', it crashes. I suspected this was due to the absence of a battery, so I tested this theory with the command sysctl hw.acpi.battery and - boom - experienced the same crash.

It seems that FreeBSD does not function well on a laptop without a battery.

Can anyone suggest a workaround or solution? I'd like to avoid re-inserting the 9-years-old worn-out battery.

Should I switch my from Windows back to ?

And if I do what should I use ? Maybe or see how far I can get with ?

when I used Linux more, I also ended up on Arch for some reason.

Daily^WInfrequent buggle: 1 (me) / 10 (cmake) / 42 (desktop) / 38 (kde)

(The CMake-related issues include other ports which want to switch the build to CMake, so there's really only 2 CMake-issues, one of which involves fiddling with OpenCV build flags that I don't understand)

Guys, seriously, whoever works on the publications deserves congratulations! Such quality, my friends! And I'm a bit envious at the same time! https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FreeBSD_Journal_JanFeb24.pdf

Step 0. Get fed up with Windows 10/11 with all forced fed stuff like Ads and LLM in start menu.

Step 1. Install Ubuntu

Step 2. I learned Docker and cool stuff and wondered why I used an abomination called WSL. This is the real deal.

Step 3. Get into VIM. Watch some cool videos, and ditch the last spyware called VSCode.

Step 4: Learn about NixOS and switch to use because all cool kids like it.

Step 5: Minding my business and YouTube recommends . Oh noo. Here we go again...😅

🚦🚥 ... ok it works 🌋

A super-simple keyboard for .

Well, I did have to fiddle with the keymap.

And I had to add delays 🤯👹 (otherwise there are races between keymap changes and keyboard events).

And I had to misuse the extension, cause applications ignore "synthetic" events. 🫥😣

But hey, it works 🕺

Now needs some basic, uhm, "features" (like recently used, like search by name).

v0.5 released!
https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/releases/tag/v0.5

This brings a few of the ideas I had:

🔹Add a "single instance" mode (configurable)
🔹Add a "tray icon" (configurable behavior)
🔹Add an "About" dialog
🔹Enforce using Qt's "xcb" platform
🔹Fix detaching on startup, add a flag (-d) to prevent it

Pretty usable as it is I hope ... although one could of course improve a lot (but have you heard of the 80-20-rule?) 🫣

Screenshot from this time, no particular reason, I'm still running here 😎

v0.6 released!

https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/releases/tag/v0.6

This brings a lot of improvements and fixes, the most relevant being immediate persistence of settings and watching the settings file for external changes. To make this feasible also for restoring the history, a lot of work went into generating static emoji data that can be used efficiently (e.g. containing a hash table to find an emoji quickly).

BTW, this even works on , so if you have your home shared and you're running qXmoji on two machines as the same user, the history will auto-update in both instances 🥳
