void run()
{
    while (true) {
        {
            QMutexLocker lock(&mMutexData);
            if (mQuit)
                break;
        }
 
        msleep (200);
    }
 
    mWaitExit.wakeAll();
}
 
void stop()
{
    mMutexData.lock();
    mQuit = true;
    mMutexData.unlock();
    mWaitExit.wait(&mMutexExit);
}

This is potentially problematic. Why? Consider the extreme case of a function shutdown() which does something like this:

void shutdown()
{
    thread->stop();
    delete thread;
}

Congratulations, you’ve just introduced a race condition. Why, you will ask? You’re waiting for the thread to end before deleting it, right?

No. And this has to do with the way Qt implements QThread::wait() which you should have probably used in the first place, if you really need this sort of functionality.

Qt hooks a pthread cleanup handler in the native thread which will call wakeAll() on a QWaitCondition stored inside the pimpl of QThread. And this pimpl – you might have guessed – is gone when you call delete.

Update: Seems upstream pino will contain librest with OAuth in version 0.3. So I’ll keep my ugly hack to myself

Instead of making the player crash, gphoto2/libmtp and usb mass storage fight for the right to access the device which leads to very ugly errors in dmesg that look like the device or at least its file-system is severely broken

So, once again: Either make the device MTP only or remove the device’s entry from the libmtp udev rules which now reside in /lib/udev/rules.d/45-libmtp8.rules

When I started email, I came from a FIDO background (anyone remembers this? BBS and stuff?). Connection time was precious and expensive. Quoting rules existed like don’t quote too many levels, answer inline etc. When moving on to the internet, I mostly kept this.

I dropped writing emails like this like five years ago, when I entered the magical world of business emails. Noone understood inline replys and most people were complaining that the communication history was missing. So I adapted, at least at work. And Outlook 2007 even has support for navigating in mails like those. I also understand why a certain kind of people like it. When you print the mail, you only need to print one mail and have the whole conversation at hand.

But honestly. I’m doing a lot of mail on my mobile phone currently. Fetching mails is not too fast on there. I don’t want to download 200k for a simple “Me too”. I don’t want to scroll through all of the shit. I don’t event want to download the same shit again and again. I already have the communication history available.

A release tarball can be found here: pmp-0.1.tar.gz

What is pmp?

pmp shares some similarities to Mozilla’s Prism. It creates a “standalone” app from a web application. Pmp uses Webkit as its rendering backend.

How do I use it?

To create an edge (that is pmp’s terminus for a captured app), run
pmp-create --url=<url to website> --name=<descriptivename>
You can also create a desktop icon by passing it the --desktop parameter. If you want to use the site’s favicon, use --icon=:favicon

To run the edge, call pmp-run --name=<DescriptiveName>

Known limitations:
It does not work properly with Google’s apps. Google does some weird URL redirects. I’m working on that. Apps known to work are WordPress and TT RSS.
