And they purposely hobbled certain things people want, like inline links and images. Some clients will do it anyway, but it's against the collective wishes of the developers.

If I wanted to track people on Gemini, I could totally do it. It'd just be in a more server-to-server way than how its evolved on HTTP (pixel trackers and such).

Two fluently, and maybe a tenth each of two more, why?

Do you have an example of a good way to do it?

Yes , I can read books. I even read one or two of the 1200 around me. Those with the fuckpics and some of the funnier ones, like "Phänomenologie des Geistes" by Hegel. I wouldn't have if they had been layouted using browser standards.

I don't think. You can't prove I do! Leave me alone. You're one of them! I knew it all the time.

A Content-Security-Policy with script-src 'none' should already allow for that . no js can be loaded like that

Because then you know that it isn't easy to keep on top of it all the time.

I would appreciate it if you wouldn't just point at my mistake but say what would be right and why. If you know, that is.

This. Text files are great for so many reasons! Hard to construct something malicious, too, so pretty great for uploads.

whacky css sites.

like my website! :3

They’re not standards, it’s just default styles, which you can change.

Theoretically, browsers could even stop from the JS engine from being started for the site in the first place.

The NoScript extension is basically this. Most of the client side stuff is off by default and you can enable it per-domain. It breaks a whole lot of websites, but often in ways where the main content of a website is still readable. Over time, you can build up a list of "allow by default" domains and most of the web you care about works. Though, you may have to spend a moment or two sorting out permissions when you visit a new site.

Hahahah. Awesome. Have fun! You just need a simple webserver. The builtin one will do and then you use the ota functions of the ESP IDF.

I don't think the promise chain is really needed here.

I used this script:

import Axios from 'axios'
import OldFS from 'fs'
import { PromiseChain } from '@feather-ink/ts-utils'

const fs = OldFS.promises

const image = process.argv[2]
const destination = `http://${process.argv[3]}/vfs/ota`
const now = process.argv[4] === 'now'
const once = process.argv[4] === 'once'

async function triggerUpdate(): Promise<void> {
  console.log('Uploading new binary')
  const file = await fs.readFile(image)

  await Axios({
    method: 'POST',
    url: destination,
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',
      'Content-Length': file.byteLength
    },
    data: file
  })
  console.log('Finished uploading')
}

(async () => {
  const updateChain = new PromiseChain()
  console.log(`Watching file '${image}' for changes\nWill upload to '${destination}'!`)
  if (once) {
    await triggerUpdate()
    return
  }
  if (now)
    await updateChain.enqueue(triggerUpdate)
  OldFS.watch(image, async (eventType) => {
    if (eventType !== 'change')
      return
    let succ = false
    do {
      try {
        console.log('Change detected')
        await updateChain.enqueue(triggerUpdate)
        succ = true
      } catch (e) {
        console.error(e)
        console.log('Retrying upload')
      }
    } while (!succ)
    console.log('Upload finished')
  })
})()

Relevent code on the esp:

You can ignore my cpp stuff and just put this in the handler of the stock webserver.

auto ota = vfs->addHandler(makeDirectory("ota"));
        {
          ota->addHandler(makeDirect([](auto &con) {
            if (con.req->method != HTTP_POST)
              return HandlerReturn::UNHANDLED;

            // https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/system/ota/native_ota_example/main
            // https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-reference/system/ota.html
            auto updatePartition = esp_ota_get_next_update_partition(nullptr);
            if (updatePartition == nullptr)
              return sendError(con,500, "No free ota partition found!");
            esp_ota_handle_t otaHandle;
            auto err = esp_ota_begin(updatePartition, con.req->content_len, &otaHandle);
            if (err != ESP_OK)
              return sendError(con, 500, std::string{"Can't start ota update: "} + esp_err_to_name(err), true);

            int receivedBytes = 0;
            do {
              auto end = httpd_req_recv(con.req, buf.data(), buf.size());
              // ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Received %d", receivedBytes);
              // hexDump("RECV:", buf.data(), end);
              if (end <= 0) {
                esp_ota_abort(otaHandle);
                return sendError(con, 500, "Error receiving", true);
              }
              err = esp_ota_write(otaHandle, buf.data(), end);
              if (err != ESP_OK) {
                esp_ota_abort(otaHandle);
                return sendError(con, 500, std::string{"Error writing: "} + esp_err_to_name(err), true);
              }
              receivedBytes += end;
            } while (receivedBytes < con.req->content_len);

            err = esp_ota_end(otaHandle);
            if (err != ESP_OK)
              return sendError(con, 500, std::string{"Failed to end: "} + esp_err_to_name(err), true);

            err = esp_ota_set_boot_partition(updatePartition);
            if (err != ESP_OK)
              return sendError(con, 500, std::string{"esp_ota_set_boot_partition failed: "} + esp_err_to_name(err), true);
            auto ret = sendOK(con);
            FactoryResetServiceCon().reboot(1000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
            return ret;
          }));
        }

I also used a custom partition table for 2 partitions so that when my program crashes it can just go back to boot the previous version.

Here it is for reference:

partitions.csv

# Name,   Type, SubType, Offset,  Size, Flags
# Note: if you change the phy_init or app partition offset, make sure to change the offset in Kconfig.projbuild
nvs,      data, nvs,     0x011000, 0x006000,
otadata,  data, ota,     0x017000, 0x002000,
phy_init, data, phy,     0x019000, 0x001000,
ota_0,    app,  ota_0,   0x020000, 0x1F0000,
ota_1,    app,  ota_1,   0x210000, 0x1F0000,

Note: This partition table is for a special model of the ESP32 though.

Also another disclaimer: This code does not represent my current coding abilities and may be outdated - it worked well though.

Passing information between two simultaneously existing entities? Get outta here! All cultures use the Jung collective unconscious to store knowledge!

I'll say one thing for the No CSS philosophy - at least it eliminates light-colored text on a light-colored background using the thinnest possible font, which is probably the stupidest stylistic trend since the web began.

In a perfect world, these would be decided not server-side, but client-side by choices made by the browser users.

But our world is not perfect.

(ó﹏ò｡) oh no my internet cred

I photocopied my screen (those all in one printers are heavy) and I cannot find the glue little help?

you can’t be tracked via css

Alright man, I didn't mean for it to hit so hard. I'm just trying to help. I assumed you were English-speaking because they are honestly the ones to most often make that kind of mistake. Sorry if I offended you.

Anyway, I edited my first comment there, before you replied last. So the correct thing is there now. (It should be "than".)

Love ya.
