That's why we worked very hard to create the ultimate, nothing held back tool and recently launched it. Works across any device/user/platform.

UI, CLI, Local network, over the internet, anything. P2P + E2EE.

justmarc··on iPhone Pocket
LOL. Sorry. really. LOL.
justmarc··on 52 Year old data tape could contain Unix history
That's why so many of these new age development tools, libraries and abstractions are such incredibly janky pieces of bloat that literally require what a few decades ago was supercomputers.

All downhill from here.

justmarc··on Felix Baumgartner, who jumped from stratosphere, dies in Italy

justmarc··on A 14kb page can load much faster than a 15kb page (2022)

Oh I don't doubt it! I was thinking how does such a busy man have time for this... but we always have time for passions and side projects :)

The airwolf one was funny, since it was a childhood favorite, and what a funny little typo they had there.

When watching the video I was thinking to myself, could this series have influenced my future interests in ways I didn't even know? Fun.

Very cool! What's the expected battery run time?
justmarc··on A 14kb page can load much faster than a 15kb page (2022)
Just wondering how do you reached at the energy calculation for serving that 14k page?

For a user's access to a random web page anywhere, assuming it's not on a CDN near the user, you're looking at at ~10 routers/networks on the way involved in the connection. Did you take that into account?

Does anyone know have examples of tiny, yet aesthetically pleasing websites or pages?

Would love it if someone kept a list.
