Bashed of comments here I checked https://www.basilisk-browser.org/ which is this bashed on looks great when you want lightweight browser to run on old laptops or whatever. Look like still some work being done looking at the repo (not a abandonware) I opened 20+ random tabs and ram usage still round gig, very nice I use old laptops to show some dashboards and stock ticker updates etc and I am fine with opening some trusted site or own designed dashboard in this thing even if underlying engine might not be secure ( worse case I mean I don’t know security/patches of underlying engine but it opened all random stuff I opened )

i have been a admirer of wordpress plugin system and had been shouting for modern alternative with explicit capability model for sometime. I also have been building own composable app platform (not cms) and this looks kinda great actually.

Re:Project Nomad – Knowledge That Never Goes Offline on Sunday March 22, 2026 @04:13PM (#47481664)
little off topic while i have like minded people reading this.

What if we build what i am calling WWTN (World wide text network). very low bit rate network that can at most send sms level data its a packet routing at lower level (possibly MAC addr is a hash of pub key of node like p2p networks work but fully p2p not ISP backed, censorship resistant. Reticulum + LORA + ... actually global.

someone come up with better name than WWTN tho

Re:Speculative Speculative Decoding (SSD) on Wednesday March 04, 2026 @05:56AM (#47245777)
i think this matters more for lower batch sizes (local llm and private enterprise deployment where there wont be big user at specific time for big batch size) going from mem Io bottleneck to compute.
Re:A simple web we own on Monday February 23, 2026 @11:50AM (#47124860)
Thanks cap'n-py. Yeah, I love Sandstorm. My goal is to be more portable, lighter, and a 'download binary and run' kind of tool. There are also other attempts around what I call the 'packaging with Docker' approach (Coolify, etc.), which are more attempts at packaging existing apps. But my approach—the platform—gives a bunch of stuff you can use to make apps faster, but you have to bend to its idiosyncrasies. In turn, you do not need a beefy home lab to run it (not everyone is a tinkerer). It's more focused, so it will be easier for the end user running it than for the developer.
Re:A simple web we own on Monday February 23, 2026 @11:26AM (#47124505)
I kind of resonate with a lot of things in the article. My own personal view is that we should make hosting stuff vastly simpler; that's one of the goals of my project, at least my attempt (self promo)

Re:Windows: Prefer the Native API over Win32 on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @01:25PM (#47064336)
Don’t know about windows programming to give opinion but by the sentiment here maybe they should give dev to choose bashed on some comptime flag or sth and maintain two versions
Re:Pocketbase lost its funding from FLOSS fund on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @01:16PM (#47064227)
I am also building similar product but with different approach And just using SQLite for now but plan on adding Postgres support ( orm I am using supports it ) … but nowhere near production ready. Due to buzz around products like litestream I feel like just SQLite is also viable nowadays. I also have own cdc based replication thing wip but yeah just having fun stage

Re:Litestream Writable VFS on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @08:32PM (#46894455)
It also supports:

- webdav

- file

- SFTP basically ssh ( i have used tailscale and linux laptop ssh)
