Where are already decentralized networks: IPFS (e.g. https://fleek.xyz or https://pinme.eth.limo ), BlueSky, Web3 protocols with HTTP gateways. Why don't users switch to them?

Why not just boycott CDNs like Cloudflare and instead host your website on a decentralized network like Bluesky ( https://danielmangum.com/posts/this-website-is-hosted-on-blu... ) or IPFS ( https://pinme.eth.li

Can you upload some most interesting deleted YT videos to Web Archive or even Dailymotion, so that they are preserved for the next generation?
65.
by niutech 11mo ago
Easy solution: use YT in a web browser with an ad blocker (like uBlock Origin or AdGuard on iOS).

In many cases developer e-mail address changes, IP address changes, billing address changes, tax ID changes...

But it's doable.

They could, using Wasm, like Qt, Blazor Hybrid, Uno Platform, Avalonia.FuncUI. Electron is efficient for devs, but inefficient for users, being a memory hog, especially on low end devices.

But then they don't need to be made as Electron apps, but rather native apps, which use a fraction of resources. Compare e.g. Sublime Text or Notepad++ with VS Code.

There are: GeckoView and Gecko Embedded, so it's doable.

It's not minimum. Custom WebKit builds could weight less, depending on features. Also Sciter is more lightweight.

If it runs in a web browser, why bother Electron if you can just install a standalone web app in Chromium-based browsers (or Firefox with PWA extension)? I do this with Slack, Teams, Discord, Gmail and they use less RAM since they reuse a s

I've compared Servo with Ladybird and the latter uses 3x more RAM for the same website: https://fosstodon.org/@niutech/114139305720083599 So Servo is more lightweight than Ladybird.

Chrome is still bigger than Servo. For a really small size, go for Sciter, Netsurf or Dillo.

For rust desktop apps, why target a web engine, when we have much more lightweight native GUI frameworks? We don't need yet another bloated Electron.

Servo also publishes weekly reports on Mastodon: https://floss.social/@servo

As for modern TUI browsers, there are already: Chawan, Browsh, Carbonyl.

It's not duopoly, there is also WebKit, e.g. in Epiphany Browser.

Ladybird is a memory hog compared to Servo: https://fosstodon.org/@niutech/114139305720083599

Flutter is not native on any platform, it's just a canvas with painted custom controls. Nothing compared to lightweight native Win32 apps in VB6.

Have you tried NetBeans? It's more intuitive and snappier than e.g. Eclipse.

You can still run Visual Basic 6 in Windows 11 and compile programs like in '99. Windows is incredibly backwards-compatible.

by niutech 1y ago
There is also Open Watcom for FreeDOS.

If you worked on that code, could tou tell us something more about this technique? What do you think about the OP way of hacking the e-book contents?

RAM does matter, especially when you have web browser with multiple tabs opened at the same time. Sublime Text or Notepad++ are powerful, yet much more lightweight than Zed. Not to mention Vim/Emacs.
86.
by niutech 1y ago
There are always: Vim and Emacs.
87.
by niutech 1y ago
Sublime Text can run code from its UI too. IDE is much more full-featured, like VS vs VSCode or IntelliJ vs Fleet.

If you stick to good old HTML5 with CSS3, without cutting edge Blink-only features, you should be safe.

Tauri in Python project

by niutech 1y ago
Tauri also has their own experimental Servo engine: https://v2.tauri.app/blog/tauri-verso-integration/ So it's not necessarily a wrapper over system webview.
