Too narrow, hidden, minimal feedback...

 

"The only difference between programming and games is that games have win conditions."

 

My Nextcloud instance runs reasonably well on the server side, and my desktop and phone are able to render the web UI reasonably fast when I want to...but I also have a tablet with slow hardware and wifi that is just unusably slow with the Nextcloud web UI. Like, it'll take multiple seconds to render the login page, but only on this one device.

Does anyone know of an alternative web UI for Nextcloud that's optimized for downloading and rendering on slow connections/hardware?

Edit: I'm already using Nextcloud, and I'm using it for quite a few different services, some of which have native apps available, some of which don't, and of course even when an app is available, not all the features are implemented in it. The specific device I'm dealing with here is a Linux tablet, so while I can use native desktop applications for some features, it's not like it can just run Android apps. But the problem would apply to any comparably low-powered hardware like, say, an old laptop that can run native apps and efficiently-designed web applications well enough, but struggles with modern throw-a-million-javascript-libraries-at-it web development.

 

Does this mean we can finally stop using these barriers to accessibility?

 

I'm getting Cloudflare's JavaScript-based screening page when trying to hit tinyurl.com with curl and extract the real link. Anyone know if this has been going on for a while?

 

ClassicPress was originally a fork of WordPress from right before the block editor was added. The community voted to re-fork version 2.0 off of the latest WordPress, removing the block editor and full-site editing. The 2.0 nightly releases are ready for testing!

I had to check....

O_o

Edit:

Yeah, it was real! Back in 2017.

Checking the certificate of DLL makes it harder to hack. Note that once users’ PCs are compromised, the hackers can do anything on the PCs. This solution only prevents from Notepad++ loading a CIA homemade DLL. It doesn’t prevent your original notepad++.exe from being replaced by modified notepad++.exe while the CIA is controlling your PC.

It's not the static assets, it's the database queries

I just commented on this in another thread: https://lemmy.world/comment/76011

TL;DR: The server-to-client interactions on Lemmy are a lot heavier than the server-to-server interactions, so even if you're just using your own server to interact with communities on other servers, it should still take load off of the servers you would have been using directly.
