The first time I had to update my code because of how the compiler updated:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-11/porting_to.html#header-dep-changes

#programming

Last week, I updated reflex2q3. The update is only because a major version of GCC introduced header dependency changes. That means someone using GCC 11 or greater could not compile my code without making minor changes to the preprocessor directives.

Currently, the issue is resolved on a branch, so the project will be seeing a patch release.

Found out today teknik, the service I have been using for git repositories and e-mail, has shut down.

The choices I have made regarding modern web services have not always been the most conventional or convenient. The recent events still have not changed why I make such choices.

Now that every teknik service I had used is now 404, I re-uploaded many of my repositories to:

What I have noticed about Ada programming tutorials on the web are trivial type definitions that are making things harder to understand than needs to be.

A basic example like "How to read in a file" should have understandable types like strings and should not leave the reader guessing what "Banana" or "Orange" really are.

For self-reference, I wrote the following:

cppia: a little experiment with libtorrent and peertube.

https://notabug.org/scuti/cppia

https://ideas.joinpeertube.org/posts/26/allow-third-parties-to-contribute-bandwidth

#programming

The extent it works is that it can download videos from peertube using the bittorrent protocol, but it can not contribute bandwidth towards the peertube player.

Before, the problem used to be noncompatibility between webtorrent and bittorrent. (As popular as doing everything in a web browser is, I don't see myself keeping browser tabs open to seed torrents.)

But now the problem is that the peertube player uses something else for its hls player.
