We have software marketed as a web browser, written in typescript running on a web browser...we've gone too far.

Webp has both a lossy and lossless mode so the first part of this meme is lost on me

NAT provides no firewall features and we can have a discussion about how wrong that statement is

That's cool. Mine is just an interpreter for execution but it has breakpoints, watchpoints, and save states. I've thought about trying to do some form of JIT or at least AOT but I haven't yet made an attempt. Besides for a debugger that's counter productive.

🤔 that reminds me of the brainfuck debugger I wrote. Good fun

Glad to see I'm not the only one checking for a AAAA. Looked like a cool and useful site /s but I only use sites with v6.

Page claims to be IPv6 ready...does not actually have an IPv6 address. This isn't a meme, this is a crime

The reason for initramfs is because if you build your block or filesystem drivers as modules the kernel can't boot without loading the modules and can't load the modules without said modules and therefore causing a chicken and egg problem. Reading a folder without all necessary boot drivers just isn't possible. That's why the bootloader is responsible for loading initramfs into system memory, the kernel can read it with 0 drivers required. Getting rid of it can be done but ALL of your boot drivers need to be statically linked into the kernel image so that the kernel doesn't need any modules to get the rootfs mounted. Ironically EFI can be used to obsolete initramfs in theory since the kernel can read data from the ESP without any drivers being required so putting modules in a folder on the ESP would work for EFI enabled systems

Assembly being obsolete has to be the funniest joke in here. It fundamentally never will be even if its use is niche

I can't even view it...I get a TLS error

Kerneld...I shudder at the thought.

Also it's running locally. I think the biggest problem with AI is the data harvesting and this is just not that
