I've updated gurk-rs on openbsd-wip to version 0.4.3. It seems to start
more reliable now. I could exchange a few messages. Once a message got
deleted, further messages could not be sent from gurk.
I just tried this and it worked until someone sent me a message, then it
dropped me back to the shall and spammed the screen with weird characters.
Such a shame, I could really use a client like this.

I just tried this and wasn't able to link to my phone.
I had to patch the Makefile slightly to get it to build; see [0].
I wasn't able to link to my phone because the QR code is not displayed
in a usable way. Here are the first three lines of what I assume is
supposed to be a QR code.
$ gurk
Linking new device with device name: gurk@angel

The whole thing seems to be made out of spaces and U+2584 characters.
The Signal app does not recognize it as a QR code. Has anyone else
encountered this behaviour?
Just in case, I tried setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8, and then LANG=C,
and then instead LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8, but none of those helped.
