BTW, in the #Dillo the article looks pretty good, lol
DANG, I forgot that #Dillo starts instantaneously on even old machines. It's almost startling if you're used to modern web browsers. X'D
> and with the second category of browser, we will not be able to visit the corporate sphere anymore
Possibly, this part is not a future already

https://old.reddit.com/ is actually somewhat usable with dillo.
I think the best approach to surviving the current webpocalypse is to just forget about having "one browser to rule them all."
Take a multi-vectored approach:
Here's a link to a toot where I discovered how to tweak the colors in dillo to be a bit more contrasty:

I also have firefox settings to disable AI available upon request. It's a bit of a faff to get it set up the first time, but then you're golden (for now ;)

Take a multi-vectored approach:
- Use a terminal browser like w3m, links, lynx, or chawan when doing some quick-and-dirty lookups, or when you don't feel like faffing about with a mouse at all
- Use #Dillo for blogs, #smolweb sites, and sites that you don't want eating your cpu if you load them in a full browser
- Optionally use #NetSurf for the few sites you know work better with it
- Use #Firefox with your own custom settings or a fork like #LibreWolf for things that really require full JS and that kind of thing
- Use a Blink-based browser like #Falkon or #UnGoogledChromium for the rare cases where a website just doesn't like firefox

@yoasif I moved to #Librewolf some time ago, but also I'm trying a #Dillo inspired by the @rl_dane example, who using it as a main browser.
Starting to think that using #OpenHAB for my "smarthome" for my case is kinda overkillβ¦
I have some sensors (temperature and humidity), some reed switches for windows and possibly I'll add thermostats for heating batteries (because here, even with 0Β°C outside, the central heating works for all the money and it is impossible to sleep and work without all opened windows). All things are using #ZigBee so my #server uses some ZigBee coordinator dongle and #zigbee2mqtt with some MQTT broker inside. I already able to read all necessary data from sensors by reading the right MQTT topics.
And the OpenHAB just communicates with my MQTT broker and displays some nice widgets on the Web UI. This is cool, because I don't need to think about how to work with MQTT and how to output data β all somehow works "by magic".
But the price is very big. The OpenHAB eats near 600 MB of RAM and swaps a lot (near 1 GB for now). It is a largest memory consuming service in my server, which has only 2 GB of RAM (and a RAM prices already increased here 
). And also it's sandbox takes near 3.5 GB of SSD space.
So, do I really need not to think about how it all works under the hood while wearing out my SSD or get some services OOMed if I disable swap and start e.g. using BorgBackup? Looks like the game is not worth the candle. I can literally pick #EclipseMosquitto #C library, unwrap some memories about how to use CGI and get the same nice page with sensors data and some logic inside. But with a waaaay less memory footprint and with possibility to open this page from #Dillo
