Exactly, wave goodbye to any attempt at user consistency. Same with Win10, it launched 7 years ago and they still haven't made the the new UI standard. Try changing user passwords or system sounds or..etc. In all honesty find Linux Mint with XFCE far less mental grind than either of the predominant platforms. It has a rough edge here and there but that's it - things in general stay in place. As a result I dedicate more time to end result of my computing rather than the medium.

Easily LibreWolf in my optics!

Thanks for introducing Zerobrane, really looks fantastic. Also by extension introduced me to https://makeself.io/ for making Linux installations.

Just looked over the github page, showcase examples include https usage and a LOT of practical details on how to make practical use of Redbean/Cosmopolitan ecosystem. Thanks a lot to Kulchenko for the work done on Fullmoon!

Have one too, got it at £27 with delivery, very nice hardware (especially with the custom miyoocfw firmware installed). If a device like this, with perhaps slightly larger screen & wifi, was integrated with keyboard (like the rpi 400) one would have killer device for nerd-working/gaming on the go.

Since I needed brief intro myself, Wikipedia says:

"The initial target audience for Briar includes "activists, journalists and civil society" with plans to make the system "simple enough to help anyone keep their data safe." As the ability to function in the absence of internet infrastructure may also make the project valuable to disaster response and aid organisations, the developers are working with the Open Humanitarian Initiative and Taarifa. Ultimately, the developers aim to create a system which is "as simple to use as WhatsApp, as secure as PGP, and that keeps working if somebody breaks the Internet.""

Would personally love a blog review or two of Briar but found little thus far.

Be interesting to have at least a few benchmarks to see if cutting so much of the regular distro code actually has a positive impact beyond the idea of it being more reliable. And that last bit does seem to remain an idea rather than a reality in that quite a lot of regular userland code (systemd comes to mind) helps stabilise a running linux box over time in a very real way. Personal exp incl having several headless Ubuntu boxes run for more than a year with zero issues despite being saddled with typical server lamp server stack.

All up for trying this though and can definitely see real bonus in terms of less resource use within Pi envs!

I came into this thread thinking I was going to cross-post the earlier Cosmopolitan/APE related posts, but dang, someone beat me to it, both on the username AND content front?! Thanks though, saved me quite bit of googling.

Along with https://justine.lol/redbean/index.html (also in cosmo distro now) this means full offline gui apps can be written to run across all major plaforms. Very impressive in my opinion :)

It looks like the runtime has embedded local-gui-view-via-system-browser-server support. https://justine.lol/redbean/index.html - more useful info: http://redbean.justine.lol/redbean.lua?x=hi%20there%00%C0%80...

Honestly like the philosophy of a lightweight editor for programming with a focus on basic functionality and speed. However, feel so well serviced by Geany that I can't justify the expense in terms of time and energy that would need to go into buying a commercial piece of software.

QuickJS Main Features:

* Small and easily embeddable: just a few C files, no external dependency, 210 KiB of x86 code for a simple hello world program.

* Fast interpreter with very low startup time: runs the 75000 tests of the ECMAScript Test Suite in about 100 seconds on a single core of a desktop PC. The complete life cycle of a runtime instance completes in less than 300 microseconds.

* Almost complete ES2020 support including modules, asynchronous generators and full Annex B support (legacy web compatibility).

* Passes nearly 100% of the ECMAScript Test Suite tests when selecting the ES2020 features. A summary is available at Test262 Report.

* Can compile Javascript sources to executables with no external dependency.

Since I've got current pet hobby regarding static compilation (Zig is good friend at this point, the cached static cross-platform output C compiles via musl is crazy good!) I had to look up if Haxe supports this, turns out yes* when targeting C++.

Thanks, appreciate this - your effort will hopefully save humanity a year or two at scale!

Any practical guides/info on how to achieve this setup without a dedicated research session?

Think you are missing a beat by not having affiliate links to those Display Dummy Plugs! Would certainly order via you as a cost free way of donating should I come to need this type of software.

My particular feelings are particularly mixed when it comes to the logo in the upper left. The text is blurry. Get someone who's proficient with Photoshop to export this correctly from the source. As it is now it reminds me of exports produced with Paint Shop Pro back in the early 00s, they were ok but just not sharp/on-point.

Plus, I get we're catering to progressives here but in a 73% white nation would it not be cool to at least aim one non-historical FP image at that demographic?

2.18mb loaded for pure text design. Low-cruft? Minimalist?

Sorry, but please use descriptors with discernment, this discrepancy alone has made me withdraw from looking any further at this project.

Congratulations on writing a tool that has 3 times the performance of the most commonly used competitor. The fact that you exploited simply straightforward technique in terms using Go's multithreading is a plus in my book, no magic just simple engineering. Also, thanks for sharing it :)

Yeah, it's obviously software related issues ... rather than having so many different distros running on it, it would be far more impressive to me if there was an demonstrable clear focus on improving performance!!

That's fascinating/good-news, do you have a reference for that?

They don't actually want peoples data for free any longer so they are failing at capitalising it which could mean a bump on the road for big data but maybe it's the real deal and they are saturated with what they can deal with and hence more data becomes a cost to them going forward.

Could also mean that the big G has reached it's max market valuation in abstract terms..!

This is so true, we are seeing the very real results of woke culture going wrong & instituting the exact reverse issues of the ones it trying to solve. Another example of this exact problem: "Security guard avoided Manchester Arena bomber 'for fear of being called racist'".

This reminds me of just how bad regular Linux apt repo ecosystem is at backwards compatibility, you always have latest edition or nothing in most cases. Trying to get C64 emulator running at moment and only latest version of VICE is supported by Debian/Ubuntu repo .. issue with disk images for me. Literally no other version to try unless I self compile which accordingly let me down the usual garden path of impossible lib reqs. So. Yeah. Hope some sort of static compile reality or NixOS comes around to save us all at some point. Loathe the advertising show Windows have become but neither do I enjoy the history-less reality of current mainstream Linux dists :/

edit: forgot to add that I've been using C64 emulators since late 90s ... accomplishing this emulation feat was not a problem 20+ years ago!

Yeah, my guess would be that the script got executed on prod server by, ups was I in that terminal window, accident! Localhost is after all the-local-host, no matter what server it's on. Better to also have clear convention regarding name of prod db name versus test db (i.e. "test_mysaas" versus "mysaas").

Plus of course using git with a hook specifically for preview versus production (i.e. "git push production") that way local specific scripts can be stripped even if in same repo.

Like the idea of using music but since we have to take into account that the participant's mind acts as the "gate" to the entity it makes little sense to expect the entity to be able to repeat a pattern that has not entered the participant's consciousness.

One way this could work however would be if the same entity revealed itself to two participants. Then it would be quite straightforward to see if information/music/other shared by between one participant and the entity could be accessed by the other when participant when communicating with the entity.

Hmm, depends, it's one way to aim towards objectivity though. Unless of course these being exists in dimensions where base reality itself necessitates a different mathematical makeup ... causing the entities themselves to respond to your presence with "yeah, right, nice try fantasy person, wink-wink, now get out of my day dream"

Like your style on this. I'm contemplating similar setup but going bit more oldschool with Word 6.0 Win 3.1 edition, gotta work out what the smoothest way of integration with my Linux (Mint) desktop though. Integration is key for me and have to say my prior exp with Wine have been less than comforting (working but just so, not long term functional feel).

This is such demagogue reasoning that it is hard to know where to begin.

A good indication of something being off is when it is trivial to rewrite the points to support the exact opposite point. I.e.

"Are You A Conservative? The Answer May Surprise You!"

"If there’s a line to get on a crowded bus, do you wait your turn and refrain from elbowing your way past others even in the absence of police?"

"If you answered “yes”, then you are used to acting like a conservative! A most basic conservative principle is that there exists an enduring moral order. Thus voluntary community is an important aspect of human life leading to reasonable understandings with each other and to treat each other with dignity and respect."

Etc. etc.

Count me in, there's no way I would touch these things. And that's despite Toyota being one of my fav car brands :/
