Information about my open source projects.
mldonkey-next target was implementing a new, modern, experience for mldonkey on mobile devices. However, Qt makes it simple to port an app from mobile to desktop, so I thought I[...]
One of the things mldonkey is missing is ocaml 5 support, so I decided to try to port it. In the docker image I currently provide on Docker Hub, I[...]
In the last months, I decided to contribute a new feature to the mldonkey open source project: HTTPS support. Apparently, mldonkey never supported HTTPS: while this limitation could be acceptable[...]
The original mldonkey webapp includes a useful chart for inspecting the bandwidth used by the mldonkey core. I tried to include the same chart in mldonkey-next, but unfortunately, it seems[...]
In this article, I presented a new client for the great mldonkey service. That client is a WebApp, so it needs to be served by a specific backend. The backend[...]
In the latest version of the mldonkey-next application, I added two new features and some bug fixes. The latest tag in docker hub contains all these features and fixes. Log[...]
I’ve been using mldonkey for many years now, and I consider it an awesome tool: it is fast, stable and reliable. Its web interface works well, but it is pretty[...]
Apparently, Qt does not provide a way to show local notifications with LGPL license. This is the only thing that I found: Qt Application Manager. So I developed something for[...]

For one of my projects I had the need of building a Qt app based on Qt 6.4 with a universal distro-agnostic format. In the past, I used snap packages[...]
When writing Qt/QML applications, FontAwesome is frequently handy. Adding it to a Qt/QML app is not different from adding it to apps written with other technologies. You’ll need to download[...]
When developing software for installations that need to remain up for very long time without being restarted, it is pretty relevant to monitor it to verify it is working properly.[...]
Running a light VNC Linux Desktop on docker on a regular desktop or on a small arm board may be of help in some cases. I recently needed it once[...]
Many devices nowadays come with a notch at the top of the screen. You can clearly avoid drawing where cutouts are placed and ask the system to create a window[...]
Sometimes I need to have specific versions of Qt to build apps and run CI tasks. In this article I introduced what I used for this purpose: a multi-arch docker[...]
I wrote an article about this topic in the past here. However, I had the chance to work more on the topic so this is a follow-up to that article:[...]
When developing products and managing servers I frequently notice that properly formatting and colorizing text, logs and generic output in the terminal is very useful. Errors, warnings and messages are[...]
Introduction While writing my crate for Isogeometric Analysis, I found myself in need of testing the Bézier implementation somehow. I thought it would be fun, as usual, to test with[...]
Introduction There are important curves that cannot be represented precisely using Bézier curves. However, some of those curves, can be represented with rational Bézier curves. While writing my crate on[...]
Introduction I recently implemented a demo of Isogeometric Analysis in Octave and then, just for fun, in TypeScript. Here are a few articles on the topic. After writing the algorithms[...]
