What do you think about xfs. is it too bloated for you guys?

you could at least show your keyboard layout as slock message
https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/message/
 
will not force slock to switch your layout but maybe gives you a hint how to 
type in your pwd.

just for correctness.
i was running into the same thing with vimb (they
catch the error and do not crash at all)

so it is obvisuosly a webkit issue.

yea, I should do it. The thing is I didn't run into a crash with firefox
or vimb.

anyway, i will try to compile webkit as well.

Yes, i'm used to compile my suckless software setup (when i have patches).
In this case I hadn't patches.
So ok, I will compile it.

Regarding the note on the website `Compile your own webkit or expect
hell`...
Is it better or more stable to compile webkit as well?

[dev] [surf] segmentation fault

[mb]

Hi,
I'm using voidlinux, dwm, st, dmenu.
I would like to start using surf as my daily web browser.
So I installed the binary verion from the package manager.
`surf-2.1_1` and `webkit2gtk-2.34.2_1`.
After some seconds or minutes of browsing the surf process terminates
with 

```
web process terminated: crashed
zsh: segmentation fault  surf google.de
```

and the log contains

```
2022-01-12T14:37:23.16689 kern.info: [193408.198059] surf[14660]:

```

I read the section `Note On Webkit Versions` on
https://surf.suckless.org/

Does that mean I have to compile surf incl all dependencies with
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages?

Or do you have any other hint for me?

thx
marko
