Well yes, finally, optimizing instead of throwing silicon, water and electricity at it until it works. Thats the way.

"lleu.site" might not be the clearest in regards to what the service offers. It reads too nerd. Something like "easyweb.site" or "yourown.site" might better describe it.

Thanks. I am definitely injecting too much nerd. I just couldn't help myself. I do have alternate urls available but point taken. I should probably redo the branding.

I know articles from Derek Lowe's series pop up on here every now and then. Here is a RSS feed you can pu in your RSS reader, and have all 33 articles available to (re) read. Enjoy !

Well of course a DSLR will be better than a phone camera for most things, since you can control more features. That's also the point of OpenCamera; get as much controls as you can back, compared to the stock app that might be lacking. It wont do miracles if your phone camera is not good to begin with.

I've found OpenCam to be useful because of the various optional features ( onionskin, levelmeter, locking settings ). You can also set the bitrate/size/duration of videos, etc. Lots of useful stuff.

Took me far too long to realize this is 13 yo.

Looks like the service is still up.

EDIT: They also offer a service to ssh into various vintage systems, which is cool : https://sdf.org/?ssh

That's what reverse-centaurs are for; being an accountability sink.

And yet, the project is hosted on MS github... So much for sovereignty :facepalm

So what happens to the 500,000+ users when Trump tells MS to nuke the repo/infra ?

that isn't much of a problem - git repositories can be re-hosted somewhere else. carrying the bug tracker over is another issue entirely.

Well I still think it's something to worry about before you end in front of a "Your account has been suspended" notice. How can you be sure someone has the whole dataset locally backed up ? Plus, you still have to reconfigure the workflows and stuff like that. Not to mention that sometime, project's websites are also hosted on github, so that's something else you have to rebuild.

And also, this means devs/contributors have to give their data to MS.

Since the whole point of the project is sovereignty, it should have started with setting up their own gitea/gitlab/etc. instances and domains.

More predictions by the guy who announced China would collapse in 2020...

IMHO I think you should write a post/readme/gist describing/demonstrating your browser's key features, with screencap if possible, maybe upload it to gitlab/github/other. It will fare better than asking strangers to download random files from a google drive link. (Although I saw your * is not a virus disclaimer, I still don't thin it's the optimal way to share a work you invested a lot of time on.)

Thanks for the great advice, shlip! You're absolutely right. Since I'm an indie developer, I was focused on the quick delivery, but I realize trust is everything. I'm currently setting up a GitHub repository to share the source code and provide a proper README with screencaps. I'll update the link soon!
