Once more, @adactio is right: reducing #web#performance to only the business benefits doesn’t do it justice.
The big-picture implications – like sustainability, inclusivity, and also the joy of using a snappy website – are every bit as important, because they directly affect us as human beings. 👏
If you’re using HTML Validate (you should; it’s ace), update to 7.15.2. It no longer flags multiple buttons with the same name used in forms as a validation error (this is a valid pattern that lets you interpret a form differently on the server based on which button it was submitted with).
Do anyone have a recommendation where to set up a #docker container for as cheap as possible? 🐋📦
The web app I'm playing around with is very small and it can probably get away with some heavy performance restrictions.
It's just a hobby thing, so the main thing is that it needs to cost as little as possible (or free) :blobcatthinking:
@astrid@amberhearts the only thing is oracle cloud is, lets just say very picky, about letting you sign up to their free tier
they require you to add a payment method for verification and they pretty much only accept traditional credit cards, most debit cards, and payment services like paypal aren't accepted
@delta@amberhearts ah, I think I remember something along those lines. Honestly if I was running my server I'd totally loan out similarly sized VMs to others. Problem is, well, I'm not running my own server right now
Wait a second… Why is it, that we need a search engine to use the web? I mean, the web wouldn’t be as useful without one. Web is too dependent on Google/DuckDuckGo/Bing/etc – and there is no fix. #SearchEngine#Web#Internet
@jarilehtinen What would you use instead? I mean there is social media (but that is only so useful without search) and one could go back to old web directories...? Actually curious. 🙂
"30 years ago this week…something called the World Wide Web launched into the public domain…#CERN owned Berners-Lee's invention and…had the option to license [it] out…for profit. But Berners-Lee believed that keeping the web as open as possible would help it grow…[He] eventually convinced CERN to release the World Wide Web into the #PublicDomain without any #patents or fees."
"CERN’s decision to provide unencumbered access to the basic Web protocols and software developed there was instrumental to the success of the technical work done at the World Wide Web Consortium. The decision to base the Web on royalty-free standards from the beginning has been vital to its success."
Tipping is pretty stupid in general. Any musician will tell you that busking is no way to make a living. But I'm all for running the experiment. Some payment is better than no payment, especially when it doesn't depend on a gatekeeper like YT or Spotify who keep most of the revenue for themselves.
Not only do they have one of the most private search engines, it is now fully independent. Search engines not tied to either Google or Bing crawlers are good for the web in general. 👍
DDG, however, is still reliant on third parties for results, mostly Bing. With Brave's recent change, #Brave#Search is entirely independent.
On a personal level I also just prefer the results I get from Brave Search. I like how they present "discussions" in a separate area for forum/reddit threads and I like their AI summarizer. I also like how Brave has implemented DDG's !bang system, and seems to redirect quicker.
Anyone knows if there’s a #firefox extension that allows you to add some sort of black square overlay on any video to hide parts you don’t wish to see (ads, on-screen chats etc.)?
@eferis don't know of any addong but if you're on linux just open a terminal window or something (anything really), click the icon and select "always on top" for a quick workaround, it'll mask anything you put it over while still being able to interact with the window behind it (so long as you don't click in the terminal itself of course)
