    Hi, Wilfred!

    10 ноя 20 14:14, Wilfred van Velzen -> Stas Mishchenkov:

    On the other hand, sorting packages by date before tossing can
    significantly increase processing time.

    Maybe if you have a thousand or more packages to sort, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it... ;)

    Take a look:

    opendir();
    do while readdir() {
    readpkt();
    }
    closedir();

    or it will be

    opendir();
    do while readdir() {
    collect_names();
    }
    closedir();
    sort_names();
    for $name (@names) {
    readpkt();
    }

    Have nice nights.
    Stas Mishchenkov.

    So it would take a few micro seconds longer... ?

    Hmm, my smiley entered in the Telegram message, got changed to a '?' on the fidonet side. That changes the meaning of what I wrote. :-(

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Unfortunately, emoji are transmitted as unicode characters, which do not match in CP866 and other 8-bit encodings. To recode them "manually", I need to create my own complete conversion table. This is not part of my plans for the rest of my life. ;)

    You could start with a small table, only translating the most used emoji's.
    [ ;-) :-) :-( ] Would cover probably 95% of the ones used. ;-)

    LOL. It certainly does!

    I think the built-in smiley feature on Telegram can be
    disabled in groups individually to avoid the problem.

    I am not sure what an animated gif would translate to on this
    side. Wanna try it! ;)

    Something we should try/test...

    Probably a questionmark too...

    I will try to do a preliminary partial transcoding, but I do not promise what will happen. It is possible that there will only be more garbage in the text.

    Stickers and animations translate quite well as files. The only problem is with emojis transmitted as unicode characters. However, it is impossible to ban them. Stickers and animations can be prohibited, although in our case they are harmless.

    I found the option to turn of "Sticker and Gifs", but there is no such option for smileys...

    Yes. I meant to use a questionmark. I think I was building the following sentence in my head: "Someone should try it! ;)", but I changed it mid-thought.
