One thousand times this. I am not giving away the keys to my bank accounts.

Good - now do a ban on individual stock trading.

"The temporary-files directory /tmp is now stored in a tmpfs" - https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues....

I am not a fan of that as a default. I'd rather default to cheaper disk space than more limited and expensive memory.

At one point a Safari Tech Preview release mentioned "Added support for SVG favicons" - https://web.archive.org/web/20250228004931/https://webkit.or... - but then they removed it - https://webkit.org/blog/16512/release-notes-for-safari-techn... - and I haven't been able to get an explanation of what happened there.

Looks like the bank built with bricks via the mail is still there - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4555831,-109.528633,3a,75y,2...

I ran into this exact issue trying to board a flight from the USA to Tokyo, a number of years ago. About 2 steps from getting on the plane a plain clothes cop pulled me aside and searched my luggage. The only thing he asked about, repeatedly, was if I was carrying cash. Fortunately for me, I was not. After he made sure to go through everything I had he let me get on the plane.

When the only thing he was concerned about is if I had any cash on me, it sure felt like an attempted robbery. He never asked about drugs or anything else illegal I might have had.

This needs to come to an unqualified stop.

Workerman has WebSocket support - https://manual.workerman.net/doc/en/appendices/about-websock...

This, especially if you turned off the extra UI bits, under performance options.

This has been on my wish list for so long. I think Safari is the last hold out on SVG favicons - https://caniuse.com/link-icon-svg

I'd love to only have to specify a single SVG image for a site and have it used for all sizes and scales.

How much help is turning off the "Allow forking" option https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-reposi... ?

Definitely this. It would be great if HTMX has a similar path to jQuery, where the browsers adopt enough of the features as native that it is no longer required.

Now I'm curious to know what is the most common city name in the US.

This is disappointing to see, I had high hopes for JXL.

This reminded me of something I haven't thought about in awhile: evercookie - https://github.com/samyk/evercookie

Details matter, as they learned when making things faster made their metrics slower - https://blog.chriszacharias.com/page-weight-matters

This could spiral into some interesting combinations. Imagine Redbean with PHP support, and it already includes SQLite. You could keep your entire site: PHP, database, files - in one file that also runs your web server, and it works on multiple operating systems.

This sounds quite a bit like Cloudflare Workers, and they have a comparison page - https://github.com/losfair/blueboat/wiki/Comparison-with-Clo....

This. Call it MPA Foundation, or something. With an MPA foundation there are plenty of opportunities to make easy improvements to performance and page experience, while still having all of the page features work without JavaScript.

Not because there are tons of users running around with JS turned off, but because every page load is running without JS until the JS finishes executing successfully ( as noted by many others ).

How does this impact v8 based services, like Cloudflare Workers?

I've long thought about this as the 15 minute rule. Meaning, with curl, reading the docs/examples, and 15 minutes I should be able to get a response back from you API.

I've been happy with https://yadm.io/ to manage dotfiles.

My first code for CGI was all done in C. When I found Perl, there was no looking back, never used C for CGI again.

While I haven't written any significant Perl in a long time, I will always appreciate how much it improved things for me back then.

I've recently started using yadm, which is a light abstraction on top of git. One big reason - "Alternate Files" support - which makes it easy to have MacOS and Linux binaries for the same tools, along with the rest of my shell setup, in one Git repo.

Notes on the new edition from the author - https://www.onebigfluke.com/2019/10/i-wrote-a-new-edition-of...

Why do people think AMP is faster? Pre-caching by Google.

This is a huge part of it. It is not unusual for an HTML page to load faster than an AMP version when loaded directly by a browser ( render blocking on the 3rd party amp JS bits can result in it taking longer to start rendering ).

The part that often allows AMP to win is that Google caches it to their own CDN and Chrome will pre-fetch it from there. What is interesting about that is that none of that has anything directly to do with format/spec of AMP pages.
