Normally in a humorous way, I'd say "Use Slackware!" 😄

But honestly, I really get what you mean. The BSD crowd tends to be more about sharing experiences and letting you explore, rather than pushing their own favorites. It's refreshing. On the Linux side, even saying "I'm trying something new" can start a 12-way distro war in the comments 😂

Still, if someone asks me about Linux distros, I will sneak in a "have you tried Slackware?"—because hey, tradition! 😉

#slackware #bsd #openbsd #freebsd
You know what I really like about the #BSD community ? Earlier I posted about maybe trying #OpenBSD for my desktop instead of my current #FreeBSD and nobody said "No" use the other. If I'd said that about a #Linux distro I'd have had folk from all corners shouting use this distro or that. The BSD community chime in when you ask for help or when they see a way that could be better for you. I'm probably going to sent to Coventry for saying this but ah well bite me. Free speech and all. 🤣

First change since #swad 0.2 will actually be a (huge?) improvement to my #poser lib. So far, it was hardwired to use the good old #POSIX #select call. This is perfectly fine for handling around up to 100 (or at least less than 1000, YMMV) clients.

Some #select implementations offer defining the upper limit for checked file descriptors. Added support for that.

POSIX also specifies #poll, which has very similar #scalability issues, but slightly different. Added support for this as well.

And then, I went on to add support for the #Linux-specific #epoll and #BSD-specific #kqueue (#FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, ...) which are both designed to *solve* any scalability issues 🥳

A little thing that slightly annoyed me about kqueue was that there's no support for temporarily changing the signal mask, so I had to do the silly dance shown in the screenshot. OTOH, it offers changing event filters and getting events in a single call, which I might try to even further optimize ... 😎
