@pertho The only little drawback compared to epoll is the lack of atomic signal mask setting, so you need a bit more code and a thoughtful structure to handle signals in the same loop. Apart from that, indeed much better than #epoll.
Unfortunately, it's not beter than inotify (for a completely different purpose, #file #monitoring ... kqueue covers them all). With #inotify, you can for example set a #watch by path, while #kqueue requires opened file descriptors. 
Never change a running system. In der Arbeit auf Ubuntu 24.10 upgegraded und was ist los: Intellij spingt rum und faengt an random rumzuhaengen. Scheinbar hat ubuntu meine inotify settings vergessen, aber selbst das zu fixen hat nicht geholfen. Jetzt bin ich gerade am debuggen... #bleedingedge #not #intellij #development #ide #inotify #produktivity
minor news on my #Xmoji (#X11 #emoji #keyboad): The #kqueue backend for watching the config file now works on #FreeBSD (as far as I can tell, hard to test every possible edge case).
I also want to add #inotify for #Linux. I just realized I'll need a Linux machine to properly do that. So, installing Debian in bhyve. Joined my samba domain, mounted my #kerberos-encrypted #NFS homedirs, couldn't login, no idea where to find diagnostic output with dreaded systemd ... but right now I found the solution to the problem:
# ln -s /usr/bin/zsh /usr/local/bin/zsh
