Sending pixels is not necessarily a show-stopper for a remote desktop that feels "snappy". Case in point - scrcpy, remote "desktop" to access Android from Linux/Mac/PC. Very responsive, including during fancy a

I think large chunk of it is from dynamic linker, rather than glibc. At least that appear to be the case according to "file a.out". Adding "-static" option seems to prevent that: $ gcc -Wall -s -nostdlib tiny.o; wc -

I guess this was written a fair while ago. On my laptop, even in 32-bit (i686) mode, with gcc-12 and libc-2.34: - very first, unoptimized program compiles to 15440 bytes (vs 3998 on OP's system); - super-optimized hand-rolled assembly

Sure. And bloated websites aren't dropping from the race here, either. They are communicating, over HTTP (and maybe WS/SSE), with fair number of servers, that also implement significant functionality. Then, there are microservices

It is bad design, but more importantly, server push is a (subpar) solution to a problem we shouldn't have in the first place. How exactly modern web ended up in a situation where, first time browser is displaying a single page (with

Cache API being "useful" and "entirely client-driven" - both great points, but how is does it contradict my statement about same API being usable for server-push (i.e. force-feeding some objects to client it didn't

Wasn't originally intended use for server push, something like this? 1) Load page through javascript-enabled browser (headless chrome, etc), and record resources accessed from the same server; 2) Save this list somewhere, where server

Are they going to kill Cache API [0] as well? because if not, one can still (kinda) "server-push" stuff through that. [0] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Cache

Mutt can do that. Open an email, "v", select attachment to delete, "d". Done. Works with gmail, too - assuming you've jumped through the necessary hoops to enable full read-write IMAP access to your account. Edit: H

Or copper pipes soldered with lead-free/SAC. Those are rather pricey though.

That's a respectable approach. I feel the same about dbus and systemd - fine that they exist for some, but I'd rather see them not stretch tentacles into libresolv, ntpd, udev, firefox, wtmp/utmp, etc...

Azure network is junk. Try running traceroute from a VM running there - it will come back empty. They just silently drop ICMP "TTL expired" packets, for "security" reasons, no doubt. Also, you can't spoof source IP
