Project mention: 🛑 Stop resizing your browser: improve testing for responsiveness | dev.to | 2024-05-22If you're lazy (or more likely under tight timelines), you can use tools like Responsively or ResponsiveTestTool.com, or browser extensions like Responsive Viewer will enable quick visual previews across multiple devices at once.
Project mention: NeuralGPT - Building A Universal Multi-Purpose Framework For Cooperating LLMs | /r/AIPsychology | 2023-10-27First of all, I'd like it to be distributed for users to install as a hub running independently from any browser in the background - although with the possibility of accessing it's interface through a browser if necessary. If I'd have to give you some working examples of similar solutions, it would be something like connection of such apps like ChatAll with a service called SAMP that interconnects multiple apps/services provided by ESA CDPP and related to space weather and multiple satellite missions (http://3dview.cdpp.eu) - yup, that's yet another of those weird hobbies of mine :P

Project mention: Bluesky starts letting users pick their own moderation filters | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-13Is this compatible with aether? What are the differences?

Project mention: Child Pornography on Sale from Hacked Hikvision “Baby Monitor” Cameras | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-15If the camera is ONVIF compatible, and most Hikvision are, it should work with Zoneminder and its mobile Open Source app zmninja.
As for the cloud, if you have a public (not necessarily static) IP and your carrier doesn't filter incoming connections, you can use a dynamic DNS such as DuckDNS.
It is however always advisable to put any camera behind a firewall, so that whatever it could happen (compromised or not, it still runs a closed firmware) it can be restricted to a dedicated physical network with no access to any personal data.

Project mention: The Wizards - Dark Times - did Carbon Studio just Questify the PCVR version? Graphics are severely downgraded after the lastest patch | /r/virtualreality | 2023-12-10Use https://github.com/mmvanheusden/SteamDepotDownloaderGUI to easily download the old version again
Project mention: Use any web browser as GUI, with Zig in the back end and HTML5 in the front end | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-01This is very polished and cool looking. Inspiring. I find this project's level of polish very inspiring.
It's lovely to see someone has captured this idea and expressed it in the right way to make it interesting to many people. I really hope this mode of desktop apps can take off, at least to the level where the community has something to explore for a while to see if it works. I made something like this for Chrome browsers a while ago, nodejs backends, vanilla front-ends, built-in packaging using pkg. It's just a nice approach: https://github.com/dosyago/graderjs
And I made a demo using the venerable MS Paint clone JS Paint^0. The dev experience was great, I literally just dropped in the front-end code to the right folder, compiled it and wham, "desktop JS paint" on 3 platforms, haha.
Using the ubiquitous local browser as the rendering / API engine for desktop just seems smart. And it's technically interesting, because you get to think in terms of how can you step back from the browser, the platform, the front-end and the back-end and come up with a general API that addresses all of it, which is kinda cool.
