Lokal DE So 23.02.2025 15:01:04 Wenn sich im #Fediverse Instanzen über das Protokoll #ActivityPub unterhalten, wird als Zeichenkodierung #Unicode in der Form UTF-8 genutzt. Unicode definiert über einhunderttausend verschiedene Zeichen, so daß neben den Sprachen des Planeten #Erde auch Symbole oder Emojis darstellbar sind: Neben den üblichen Sonderzeichen europäischer Sprachen (#Stichwort #Umlaut) also auch etwa Japanisch. Beim Thema #Emoji & Co. stehen den fediversalen Beitragsverfassenden also jede Menge #Emojis zur Verfügung, die über Unicode definiert sind. Wie man so ein Emoji (japanisch 絵文字) in einen Beitrag hineingefummelt bekommt, hängt vom Endgerät und der genutzten #Software ab. Es kann ein Menüpunkt sein oder auch eine Sonderfunktionen auf einer Bildschirmtastatur (Stichwort #Smartphone). Gibt es Haken bei der Sache? Natürlich, wie üblich. Zu beachten wären zumindest einmal folgende Punkte: * Nicht jedes Gerät unterstützt alle aktuell definierten Unicode-Zeichen. Es kommen im Laufe der Zeit neue Zeichen hinzu. Je nach genutztem #Betriebssystem und dessen Version können daher Zeichen unbekannt sein. Dann fehlen diese Zeichen in der Anzeige bzw. werden durch Platzhalter ersetzt. So kennt etwa ein älteres #Android weniger Unicode-Zeichen als ein aktueller #Linux-#Desktop. * Das genaue Aussehen von Symbolen und Emojis variiert. Unicode gibt etwa "Gesicht mit Schutzmaske" (FACE WITH MEDICAL MASK, U+1F637 (128567), 😷) vor, aber nicht die exakte grafische Umsetzung. Daher kann das Emoji auf empfangender Seite anders aussehen (bzw. dargestellt werden) als auf absendender Seite. * Das Verhalten von Vorlese-#Software (auch "#Screenreader" nach dem englischen "#screen #reader") ist unbestimmt. Ob und wie grafische Unicode-Zeichen in Sprache umgesetzt werden, ist also eher als ungewiß zu betrachten. Und jetzt einen Daumen hoch und ein cooler sonnenbebrillter #Smiley: 👍 😎 Zum Schmökern ins Thema bietet sich etwa die #Wikipedia als Einstieg an: Medien: 2 |

Föderation · Fr 08.11.2024 19:43:32 I wonder if you get little #FreeBSD Beastie figures like my sort of #Linux Tux figures that my children got me years ago ? Medien: 1 |

Föderation · Fr 08.11.2024 16:37:03 Now I'm running #FreeBSD as my daily I was looking at a particular pkg version and noticed it was 2 releases behind. I'm not going to name the package or pkg maintainer but I decided to send an email stating I was new to FreeBSD so forgive my lack of how things work here but is there a reason your pkg is behind ?
I really didn't expect a reply TBH but got one explaining not only had their PC died recently which is now resolved but they had been busy with other pkgs. They were really nice about it and even said that the update is in the pipeline for the pkg I enquired about. I have to say the #BSD community so far have been amazing and I have absolutely no regrets moving from #Linux . 👌 #RunBSD |

Föderation · Di 05.11.2024 22:26:53 Haha got my battery status script converted and working on my #Eww bar from #Linux to #FreeBSD and discovered a new to me utility
apm -- control the APM BIOS and display its informationhttps://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?apm |

Föderation · Di 05.11.2024 20:09:53 [ SOLVED ]
I needed to install evdev-proto and now #RiverWM builds from source. Fantastic !So on #FreeBSD #RiverWM doesn't build so far from source at the moment like it did under #Linux . I may find the missing package that I need or get help. Or maybe I'll stick with the pre-compiled pkg ? The error I got is: /home/justine/Git/river/.zig-cache/o/06b1e7dc1fc49d5f70f756116958d43b/cimport.h:4:10: error: 'linux/input-event-codes.h' file not found |

Föderation · Di 05.11.2024 20:07:14 My #AMD #ThinkPad P14s with 16Gb ram certainly boots faster than it did when I ran #ChimeraLinux with #ZFS and #ZFSBootMenu . Shutting down using the
poweroff command I'd say #Linux wins but not by much, though I am using #Geli for encryption on my FreeBSD laptop which maybe slows it a little ? The rest of the speeds for general use it's hard to tell so far and as for resilience I've had no issues as yet and the same could be said for my #HomeLab too.Why did I choose FreeBSD ? As I was already leaning towards #BSD using Chimera Linux I thought I'd have a read up on various and really liked ZFS so it was obvious that I would choose FreeBSD really. I have read up on #OpenBSD but looking at the docs, reviews and their software repo's I decided it was for me right now. I will be honest some things do seems harder but that's what makes it exciting again as I'm having to relearn stuff and you know how I like a challenge. |

Föderation · Mo 04.11.2024 13:15:31 They say I'm easily pleased and it's very true. Whilst using my new #FreeBSD install on my laptop I discovered that my scroll lock key is now useful in the terminal to allow scrolling through the output using the arrow keys.
It never worked for me when using #Linux so that's a wee positive that made me smile. #RunBSD |

Föderation · Sa 02.11.2024 11:18:20 So today could be the day that I do the deed and install #FreeBSD onto my #AMD #ThinkPad P14s ?
I'm fully aware that the WiFi will be slower than normal until the excellent devs bring the ax200 drivers up to par. I'm also aware the running DRM stuff will be an issue but as I don't watch Netflix etc on my laptop it becomes a non issue. So I'm going to think carefully about this before I commit to removing #Linux in favour of a #BSD . If I do decide to go for it, it'll be this afternoons little project to stress me out. So you have a few hours in which to tell me about your experiences of switching from Linux to FreeBSD. Or maybe just tell me about some handy tips or even reasons why you'd think I'd regret the move ? I mean I'm already running a FreeBSD server at home with jails so have some experience. I should also point out that I've been a Linux user for 20+ years. I've run most distributions including completing #LFS and being part of the now ceased LRsLinux distro. If I'm switching I'll be leaving Chimera Linux in favour of FreeBSD not because there's anything wrong with it as there really isn't. But because for done reason I feel the need after all this time to #RunBSD as my daily driver |

Föderation · Sa 02.11.2024 11:07:06 So could today be the day that I do the deed and install #FreeBSD onto my #AMD #ThinkPad P14s ?
I'm not worried about #DRM stuff and I know about the WiFi speed issues and so on. So will I come to regret moving from #Linux to #BSD ? I'm going to think about this carefully and listen to any advice given for the pros and cons. But if I do go ahead it'll be this afternoons project. Feel free to chime in with your thoughts, experiences and so forth this morning as any information be it positive or negative would be greatly received. #RunBSD |
