I’ve noticed that a more detailed writeup is warranted! So I’ll be working on that.

CORS is enabled on lemmy, you have to send the ‘Origin’ header in order to get the Access-Control headers. Which allows cross-origin for simple requests. No added headers, cookies or other data. So all API calls are made in JS by your browser.

Crabs are peak evolution.

Good question, it’s a design choice. Being attached to my name I had no interest in needing to moderate which comments should and shouldn’t be showing up under my name. There is a direct link to the posts on lemmy where they can be interacted with.

A second concern is XSS, with my own content I have no worries.

The open web and API’s are designed for this purpose, and don’t think any instance would ever follow reddit and close up theirs.

I’m all for donating to your instance owner, altough I’d be surprised if any would mind their API being used this way. Giving credit where credit is due.

Exactly, in this case the actual post is this one and posted it here as a x-post.

Edit: I own my instance, but you don’t have to own one in order to deploy this blog frontend.

This is in it’s simplest form a blog frontend for Lemmy indeed!

I’m glad you liked it, thanks for the kind words!

That requires the running and maintenance of a federated instance, which is not easy or cheap. Doing it like this allows anyone to make a BlogOnLemmy by serving but a single webpage, no extra server cost at all.

I sepperate the hosting of the content and the page itself. With a website you do need to still be serving a html page, because it has no backend the page can be served by GitHub for example.

In theory you don’t have to touch the website anymore, so you use Lemmy as your markdown frontend.

A constraint like this ensures someone can host their BlogOnLemmy without paying for anything like hosting space or running the instance themselves.

Feel free to use the code in any way you like, and enjoy your trip!

I’m running my instance for the same reason, it’s been running for over a year and I’m the only active user. Although there’s people passively using it as well.

Storage doesn’t go over 100GB much. The only downside I notice is a community on Lemmy is only federated if at least one of the users is subscribed to it. Using Lemmy-federate you can add a bot account that subscribes to new communities.

I’ve never seen anything like it in Europe, where I live they even show the subs in 2 languages at the same time. It’s horrible.

Works just as seamless as on Linux, has amazing GUI options too.

Oh for sure, I’m saying malicious .lnk’s won’t all be this badly obfuscated

Using shellcode it’s possible to get persistent RCE using less then 100 bytes, don’t let one bad attempt at obfuscation cloud your judgement. Size does not matter.

+1 for StirlingPDF, amazing tool. I use Handbrake for video conversion and Gimp for images. IT-tools for text based conversions, but it does many other things too and can be self hosted.

For anything but fast paced, sure maybe, for competitive shooters like this article, absolutely unacceptable. Input lag gets noticeable past 10ms. Jarring past 20ms. Combine that with frame timing inconsistency and more screen tearing, I guess ya’ll like watching slideshows.

This video from a while ago found more than 30ms input lag and fps inconsistencies. I’m also reading Directx 12 is optimizing borderless fullscreen and after a quick search did not find new tests.

In post the author did tests and found that it mathers less then it used to, but windows Aero is still running extra composition cycles.

From personal experience I can tell you I’ve flicked out of bounds many times clicking outside of the game making it lose focus and losing a gunfight because of borderless windowed. YMMV

Input lag, performance issues and mouse bounds. AFAIK that’s still a thing
