That’s a fair point. However, on the practical side, it’s sad that I would have to root my gf’s phone to let her access the services we host.

I ended up using a DynDNS and Caddy for managing my cert.

I don’t know about iOS, but Android had support for this in the past. Now the support is partial. It’s no longer possible to install system-level certificates. Or at least they made it extremely inconvenient.

Let’s be extra safe. New cert per every request

not all phones support manually adding certs

I feel like it would be easier to help with the original problems that led to these unusual choices.

I don’t think it’s ADD. There’s a book called ‘thinking fast and slow’. In that book the psychologist separates the mind functions into two systems. System 1 is for intuition, no effort, fast thinking. System 2 needs effort, slow, but precise. What happens here is that simply people are trying to be efficient with their thinking and they use less system 2 which is required for reading.

Mostly dictatorship. I have no problems with russian people.

I was talking about a hypothetical scenario in which Russia became socialist again. I could use our autonomy for useful things.

It’s the post description

The other traits and our autonomy.

As a Hungarian, No thanks, we don’t want russian soldiers again in our country. Can’t we agree on socialism without involving Russia?

I used claude code to migrate a small rust project from raw sql to an ORM. It was next level. In a timespan of a small bug fix I could rewrite the data model. It tested the code, it fixed the errors, I was amazed. I reviewed every change, so I could spot problems like migration would fail with prod data. I wrote a new prompt to fix that and it fixed.

For anybody new to claude code: It’s a tui app where you can log in and write prompts for the project in the current directory. The way it works, it searches files in the project based on the prompt, and it locates the related code sections. So it gathers the context pretty well. It can suggest changes, it can suggest running CLI commands, it can read its output. It reacts to itself. You can accept or intercept and correct it anytime.

I ran it in docker just in case.

In summary, this is a real deal, but of course the code needs to be reviewed. Sometimes, it produces, simply put, unmaintainable code, that shouldn’t be used. Works or not, it should move.

So, for example, online editors that store state in huge jsons and has frequent backup can benefit from it. That’s actually great, good luck with it!

By IO heavy I meant db operations or other external requests. When the request handler starts, it waits for the IO to be completed. While it waits, it can accept other requests and so on, so the bottleneck is the IO in my case, not the request parsing.

I imagine it like this (imaginary numbers):

• DB operation: 20ms
• Express request handler: 1ms
• Brhama request handler: 0.5ms

Which case, it wouldn’t matter which http framework to use. However, there are probably other use-cases.

How much overhead does a simple request handler have with Brhama and with Express in ms?

It matters because most of my endpoints are IO heavy. I assume the framework cost is negligible compared to that, and if it is negligible for typical use-case, then what use-cases do you see where it matters most?

You can try dualbooting a linux distro with an android. I expect it works, but you cannot be sure with phones.

What I meant is that you cannot turn any existing webpages to a basic page with some simple tricks like disabling js. That would be a never-ending fight.

You are the one adding extra complexity

I’m not the one defining the business requirement. I could build a site with true progressive enhancement. It’s just extra work, because the requirement is a modern page with actions, modals, notifications, etc.

There are two ways I can fulfill this. SSR with scripts that feel like hacks. Or CSR. I choose CSR, but then progressive enhancement is now an extra work.

Why is it “impossible to do them reliably” - without js presumably?

What I meant is that you cannot turn any existing webpages to a basic page with some simple tricks like disabling js. That would be a never-ending fight.

It suggests using minimal js, I use react the same way, whatever I can do with css, I do it with css. But I am not going to footgun myself. I start the app with react because at some point I will need react.

It seems you misunderstood me.

There were horrible tricks and hacks that were addig not only ux improvements but useful content. We used jquery for many of those things. That’s why I wrote it, and for the legacy vibe.

Disabling js would have broken that site as well, reinforcing my point that it was never a reliable solution to disable js.
